Ah. I think I did read this a while back but seem not to have left a review. My bad.

For me, Lucius' link to his house and his heritage was one of the first keys to finding his humanity, so I am not being glib when I say I loved how you treated it in this story. The magical theory is very clever and your manner of writing about it beautiful. I think I'd have liked to hear a little more about what caused Lucius' change of heart (I can imagine from what you did say, but he is to different here than in canon that for me a little more elaboration would have helped), but with a story as good as this, I'm more than happy to indulge in a little suspension of disbelief. And of course I adored the snarky exchanges - my favourite being, I think, Hermione's reference to "the morally uncomplicated Benedic".

Anyhow, thanks for the reminder - and for the writing!
