Nice start. blue.  Plenty of UST simmering there. ;)

Um... oops? Between the divorce with Narcissa and Celeste likely believing him to be responsible for her mother's death, Lucius looks to be flying his broom into a fair facsimile of Hell. If he's smart, he'll take Hermione's advice and take the situation in hand as quickly as possible. If this girl-child is truly of such importance to the Malfoys, then Hermione's right, Narcissa is likely to do everything in her power to destroy her. Great start, I'm definitely looking forward to reading more!

Thank you for a wonderful story. I would love to know more about how they cope as a family, an abused child can be a handful at times, so if you do revisit I hope that you include a peek into family life. Thank you again especially for Albus, that was the icing on the cake.    

Well, that's Lucius told, he should have known that Hermione wouldn't stand any of his nonsense.  

Narcissa will be chewing nail when she reads that letter, but what's done is done, so she has to live with it.

Knowing how powerful the Malfoys are ,how did they think that they could keep the abuse a secret? a simple glamor would never do the job. That poor child, no one should have to live, where they think they are useless and unwanted, it destroys the soul. Hopefully with all the help that is available Celeste will be able to make a full recovery.  

I didn't think that Severus would leave Lucius to his own devices ,for too long.

It says a lot about their friendship that Harry and Hermione, can speak so openly about everything. Looking forward to seeing how Severus and Lucius "court" Hermione.

Draco is cupid Hermione is researching  and I'm looking forward to more.

Mmmm, very interesting why is a girl child so important to the Malfoys? I will just have to read on and find out.

love it.. have read this exciting story, before.. onward to more..

I wonder if Sev and Herm will really wait for Lucius before beginning to...

YOU ARE TELLING A WONDERFUL STORY. COMING ALONG NICELY & TYING ALL THE PLOTS TOTETHER. CELESTE SEEMS TO BE A WONDERFUL CHILD, BRINGING OUT A SIDE OF (CARING) ADULTS WE TEND TO HIDE FROM OTHERS. I WONDER HOW SHE WILL REACT WHEN SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THE TRIAD! 2 WORDS COME TO MIND. "WRITE FASTER!" LOL. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL STORY. JIMBO  P.S. HOPE HER "PREVIOUS CARETAKERS" GET WHAT FOR! THEY DESERVE IT. J

That explains a lot about Lucius. oes that means Draco and Ginny will have a little girl of their own *wink* And I can't wait for THE courtship to begin.

Spidey-senses.  That's cute. :)

Thank you for making Hermione confident enough to be able to say "No" to these two until they were ready to negociate on more equal terms! *^_^*I really like the friendship you've built between them. ;)
