I am constantly amazed at how good the fics in the Promptfest continue to be. The levels of double-crossing and Slytherinness here... MA, I think I now who you are.

I was hard pressed to choose my favourite lines, but I think these are among the best:
Hermione was sat at his desk in the study with her Indentures spread across one side, and a book entitled ‘Wizarding Law for non-Lawyers, How to Lie, Cheat and Double Cross as well as a fully trained Lawyer’ on the other.

"I have no hopes that you’re going to be reasonable," Lucius replied. "You’ve not been reasonable in the thirty odd years I have known you and you aren’t going to start now."

What a lovely FIC, MA (or maybe not so mysterious MA) !!
It was a delight, from start to finish ad a favorite, for sure.

I love a good story about Slytherin antics between Lucius and Severus. Here they are like cousins or brothers who have an innate need to compete and engage in one-upmanship but still have each other's welfare at heart.

My favorite line has to be: "I tell you what, I’ll send you the antidote by way of thanks," Severus replied out of the corner of his mouth, still smiling at Hermione.

Well done, Mystery Author!

Oh this was sweet! And a very Slytherin way of helping a dear friend.
