Summary: Molly interferes, Ron is a twit but gets over it, Lucius is reformed (well, a bit), Draco grows up, Ginny is a good friend (apart from recommending the shoes), Harry is a hero and Hermione has fun and spends a lot of time in a library. Snape, meanwhile, considers that he is getting his usual shit deal from fate, although to be fair, he never expected to find a family of his own.

Review:
One of the things I really like about this story is the lack of 'Americanisms' that are so prevalent in HP fic. The pace of the story is good and the dialogue is well done. The characters, aside from Molly, remain in character fairly well. Molly isn't portrayed in a very good light in this one, fyi.

After re-reading this I realized that some of my head-canon for a few of the characters comes from this story.I love finding stories that are done differently than the norm and this story fits the bill nicely. This pairing in particular is generally done with Hermione/Lucius or Hermione/Severus as the focus and later bringing the other in. This one does start with Hermione/Severus, but Severus and Lucius already have a relationship going and the three come up with an interesting arrangement that suits them all.
