this is really interesting, but have you figured out the practicalities of them getting the hope diamond? And I think it would be a pity for such a diamond to be physically destroyed, especially as I'm sure that could cause a few international incidents. Then again, that sounds fun. I've never seen the hope diamond myself, as on the 8th grade DC trip I went to the air and space museum- where I was left when the grade went to Arlington. I got detention for that, but was paid back when I DIDN'T help the principal get into the subway system. (Metrocards are SO tricky, even for girls who grew up in NYC:) )

Man, you do a great job with the cliff-hangers, this one is brilliant! Can't wait for an update!

please more?

The characters are artfully written and the plot is nowhere near some of the contrived drivel you see around here.

You can have my kidneys! :P

An interesting premise for a story and i've really enjoyed how you've explored the characters. i look forward to reading more.

Well, I have to admit that I was initially skeptical at the Hermione/Lucius aspect of this story, but that skepticism has all but vanished. After all, I really enjoyed 'Soul Searching' by you and am always willing to betray my staunch support of the Snape/Hermione pairing for the sake of an excellent storyline...which this story is building up to, needless to say.

By the looks of it, it has been a good three years since you have last updated this story, but it's so engaging, so unique, SO promising, I am determined to wait you out for an update, or perhaps scour other websites to see if it was continued elsewhere, like 'Soul Searching'. Your profile page does express a certain...um, disillusionment with 'mild' censureship. I desperately hope this is the case; I feel like I'm on a caffeine buzz, my curiosity is so piqued to get more of this story.

Words cannot express it, so I'll just shut up and stop. Begging is not below me, so please don't leave us all hanging from this eye candy. And I wasn't just referring to Lucius Malfoy.

Tofurkey

wow!this story is really misterious..-.-.-i want to see some action!!Lucius is the best wizard in the world,Voldemort is a loser..
ciao

Oh drat - no more story. Oh, well. I'll just have to wait for the next chapter and hope that I remember enough of the details to know what's going on. I love this - the characterization, descriptions, and plot development are wonderful. In the last paragraph, "Shad", I think, is meant to be 'she had'.

I put this on story alert. Thank you for continuing to write this. :)

Neat story.
Cant wait to see more about the characters and what happened during that raid. Youve manages to really work that night into your story.

Oh I love it, I love it!! I was just browsing the authors I know to find something to pass time but your story is a treasure. I really enjoy reading it. When will you be able to update? I can't wait...

Very interesting and absolutely thrilling. I loved it!! The way you mixed up history, magic and H.P. stories... Impressive!! Thanks a lot for such nice reading!! Your story is getting better with each chapter.

Bah, maybe you like French after all... LOL

I love your idea about the wine. Great, really. And Malfoy inheriting a vineyard is quite good too..

Well, that does explain things a bit.
By the way, I'd love to know what it is about French people. See, I am French, and even if I'm not particularly fussy or touchy with jokes on my country or whatever, why is it that when something is bad, it's always French?? It's really unfair you know?!
Well. It won't prevent me from reading the rest of your story anyway...
Cheers.

Ah, my curiosity has been awaken. Hope you're going to satisfy it quickly... Good chapter, I like the way you write: it is fluid and easy to read. Your Hermione is a bit mysterious, isn't she?

Please more:) What is next to come?

I guess Gandalf is ever present. You do know what I'm talking about right?
