To: Leni Jess From: Your Secret Santa Title: A New World Author: Ginny___Weasley Pairing: Lucius/Hermione Summary: With Kingsley determined to establish a fair political climate in a post-Voldemort world, Hermione finds herself forced to spend time with Lucius Malfoy, who is working toward his own ulterior goals. Rating: NC 17 Warnings: None. Author's notes: HUGE Thank-you to L., C., and A. Your input was indispensable. Also, thank-you to r_becca, for being such a great mod. leni_jess, I tried to give you the plot-filled, functional Lucius/Hermione with no Ron that you asked for. You gave the two of them working on establishing a political middle ground as a prompt, and I combined that with J. K. Rowling's statement that Hermione helped eradicate many of the Pro-Pureblood laws. I also tried very hard to incorporate the rest of your request for this pairing, and I hope you're happy with the outcome. Both canon and AU fans alike can enjoy this, I think. I truly hope you enjoy it, leni_jess! Happy holidays! Feedback: Please leave feedback here. NOTE: with the closing of geocities, this story has been moved! Please update your bookmarks.
