What a brilliant idea! It's great! You've created a complete world in such a small number of words. I loved all the dialogue, but especially this line:

"Lucky for you, you dodged that bludger."

(Do people not know that Draco and Hermione are married? How does she hide her pregnancies?)

[speedgeek]

Thank you!

Hermione's closest minions and Draco's family know about the marriage/kids, they've hidden it from everyone else. I hope to write in this 'verse more to explain more in the future.

Is there more or is this a one shot?

[beggar mode]
Please tell me there is more...?
Also, if there's nothing more, can I write something that continues from here? *brain running rampant with ideas*[/beggar mode]

*cough* It's a brilliant concept and it's well executed. Bravo.

[speedgeek]

Just a one-shot for now, hope to write more stories later on.

Hey, write away if you want! Just link back to me! :D

Thank you!

[niroc]

Yay! Now all I have to do, is put my money where my mouth is. *eep*

[speedgeek]

LOL, you and me both.

This is a very, very fun world... But I do hope there's at least one more piece that explains how and why Miss Hermione Granger of Gryffindor, Dumbledore's Army and the Order became an enemy of the Weaselys and the Ministry and even, it seems, Potter himself.

I am especially fond of your explanation of Percy's sorting; it makes perfect sense and blends so smoothly with canon. I also love that Hermione can be a mother and a badass CEO of Evil, Inc., without it being a massive problem and sign of bad parenting. <3

I'm hoping to write more. I've got a lot about this 'verse in my head.

Percy so didn't fit in Gryffindor. I actually think of him more as a Ravenclaw, but with his ambition, he could fit in with Slytherin.

Hermione's got two examples of how to be a successful working parent, plus a flexible job and minions and an understanding husband. ;)

Thanks!

That is brilliant, and a lot of fun. As much as I would love more of this, I have to say that it works really well as a short, without too much information or backstory, because that would weigh it down a bit and now it's... light? I don't know if that's a good way to describe it, but even if it's a "dark" subject, with Hermione and Draco taking over everything, it doesn't feel very dark at all. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading it.

[speedgeek]

I really wanted to call this dark, but it really isn't. Hermione just isn't that kind of Dark Lord. She's sneaky and manipulative, not needlessly violent.

Thank you!

[reetinkerbell]

And I must say that I like that, not just because it doesn't make the story dark but also because this seems more in character than a dark in terms of violence Hermione.

[speedgeek]

Agreed. While I view this Hermione more sociopathic than canon, she isn't a violent person by nature.

[wake_the_dragon]

This is brilliant.

I really like Dark Lord Hermione and can't wait to see exactly what her plans are and why she became Phoenix in the first place.

[speedgeek]

Hopefully I can keep my resolution this year and get more written. :)

Thank you!
