I enjoy this story more each time I read it. It fascinates me, and I like being fascinated.

I can't wait to see why they are using the old-fhasioned vernacular instead of their own! That will prove to be a good twist of the tail in itself. Update soon, I'l be waiting! ^_^

Hilarious chapter! First I was laughing out loud at the vision of Lucius ascending the staircase in the hovel as if ascending to the throne for his coronation. Then the idea of them magically speaking in ye olde vernacular without knowing what it means - priceless, and so clever. As for the tight pantaloons and the erection being privy to all - guffaw! That reminded me of a certain pious vulture of the law.

And now we have the classic enforced-sleeping-together scenario...oh, I do like those so very much. Heh.

I hope Lucius doesn't make it to the brothel though, even though I loved that 'pounding away at the merchandise' phrase.

another wonderful chapter...my favorite sentence by far had to do with ..."the semi in his trousers." i don't know why but it definitely made me smile. i also like the mythology references as well as the use of the speech of the time period they are in. looking forward to more.....

Oh come on lucius....you know you want her

silly hermione, just jump on the sexiest of all slytherins!

This was lovely LaBib! I am enjoying reading this story so much. :D Since we are both writing historical stories, I see from reading your story, what is lacking in mine. Spectacular job! I am envious. Lol

I love how you are portraying Lucius. He is so aristocratic in bearing that everyone is doing a double-take, wondering why he is in shabby clothes. They probably assume he was disinterred from a rich family. He will need to come into his wealth quickly though, for he is insufferably arrogant as a poor man. I love it though. I also love how he is so enduringly protective over Hermione. I could see him even fighting a duel for her. (sigh) lol :D

Again I love all your description. I can see their shabby room so well. I was relieved though that their bed didn

Hmm... what are the chances he wakes up between the legs of Aphrodite, though? Poor thing can't even wank without causing a disturbance. Lucius' experience at adapting to, well, anything, coupled with Hermione's analytic nature make them decent partners, but Hermione's Gryffindorian inability to read subtle cues will definitely be a source of frustration for dear Lucy, as will his Slytherin aversion to blatant honest prove completely confounding to Herms. Poor dears.

Gosh, I feel so bad for not checking more often. Great job on the Lucius Hermione banter. I loved that the farmer's wife was alarmed at his French. Trust Malfoy to use that accent for subterfuge. If it's the past, in the eighteenth c. the English weren't too fond of the French, and the future.. Who knows? love the chapter.

Yes, a French accentwould definately cause some consternation. I loved how hot a bothered Lucius was throughout the chapter. Maybe they could both do with some R&R. Fun chapter. I'll check more faithfully from now on.

WOW! I'm loving this story. I love all the stuff you write, however this one is of particular interest to me because I love the 'back in time' spin! I can't wait to read the next chapter! I'm sure Lucius will be rich again in no time and will most likely become the fantasy of all the local women. I'm looking forward to Hermione proving her worth and taking control of the situation... I'd like to see her reaction; should Lucius visit a brothel! UPDATE SOON!

I absolutely loved this - you have captured the flavour of Regency London just as I imagine it, with the rickety slums, the smells, the bawdiness and all. And your vocabulary was hitting the spot time after time - 'greensward', 'animadversion', 'appurtenances'. Lovely.

I love the labyrinthine workings of Lucius' mind in this, and how the acquisition of wealth is his first priority. I hope Hermione knows her Muggle history (I'm sure she does), because Lucius ought to realise she could be a valuable asset in this foreign time and place.

Laughed at the woman dropping her handkerchief in his path - who wouldn't?

This is shaping up to be a great big gooey gorgeous read; thou knowest I love period pieces, and this is one of the best I've read in ages. Keep the dice games flowing (and I hope Lucius finds a high-class brothel to patronise; wouldn't want him to catch anything nasty).

(I'm late reviewing, so somebody has probably already picked up on this, but the expression is 'shabby-genteel' rather than gentile ;) ).
