Oh, I am so sorry it's taken me a couple of days to catch up with this. Never mind. I will be reading it more than once to make up.
Wonderful! Beautifully twisted Lucius doing his job in his own particular way. Is it Bad of me to believe Percy might have turned to the Dark Side if Lucius had allowed him to remember this occasion? I think Lucius could turn me...
I love the plot line - it works and it's convincing and it explains several things as well as being a great excuse for sex :)
