MOLLY WEASLEY . . . . BUTT OUT!!!!!
I'm glad Remus popped the question to TOnks, that'll get Molly's mind off of Hermione and Draco . . .maybe.
I have to stop reading for a bit , but will be back later tonite, to continue.
Severus, none the worse for wear. GInny, felling a bit left out, but coping. Molly . . . butt out! Draco and HErmione . . . not yet, but soon.
HE!HE!HE!
I love that Draco has nicknamed Hermione kitten, but please make it 'Kitten'
Aw, crap, it didn't go well with old BV did it?
MOlly was right to get the kids away from the forr and there really isn't anything to do about Remus.
CRAP!
ONWARD!
MAN!, I thought Gran, herself, was going to kick some Death Eater butt! What a bummer! Hopefully , she's safe and will be pleased that it turned out alright, except for Tonks, of course,. But she'll be okay.
Now about Remus. CALM DOWN! Tonks will be fine. Molly, don't get too close, but try to keep him posted, thru Albus and his connections at St.Mungo's ( the headmistress who can go back and forth to St. M's, Dadylus ? whatever - you know who I mean)
Now, let's see Severus explain this cockup to BV . . .hope he can pull this one off!
HOT DOG! The 'you-know-what' is about to hit the fan!
Gran Longbottom is getting ready to rumble. AW, those poor Death Eaters. . . . won't know what hit them, will they?
HE!HE!HE!
THIS is going to be a lot of fun to behold, so I think I'll do just that . . .
ONWARD!
HE!HE!HE!
I ws very glad to see Harry tell Draco he was sorry about Draco's mum. That was a BIG concession on Harry's part.
The 'talk'. HE!EH!EH!HE!HE!EH!EH!HE!HE!HE!HE!EH!HE!EH!
small giggle fit at the dicomforture on both sides. Yes, Molly would have covered THAT long ago.
OKAY . . ONWARD!
HE!HE!HE!
Oh, for crying out loud, they should have had this fight YEARS ago. BOYS!
At least he got his point across and Harry had to eat some humble pie . . .serves him right for being a stubborn prat!
And Bravo, Hermione , for going to Draco afterward and showing how she felt.
ONWARD!
I wonder just what it's going to take to make Harry see the truth? THEN he'll get the guilts for being stupid. . . . . YA BIG DUMMY! (it helps to vent once in a while)
AW, jeez, I hope those two don't go looking for Hermione and find her and Draco asleep on his bed. But they're both clothed and just napping, so now harm done ? ? ?
Better keep reading and find out.
I love house-elves, having used Dobby and Winky in my story, plus a few others, at various points.
And their dialogue is a bit tricky, isn't it. Nearly as bad as writing for Hagrid.
Well, as this is a 'day off' for the kids, that means i got a break, too, from trying to guess what you are up toin your plot! HA!HA!.
Okay, deep breath, here we go . . ONWARD!
HE!HE!HE!
" I'z just a itty wabbit in the sunshine, I'z just a bitty bunnie in da wain. And it's hippity-hoppity back to work for little Ackky" ( old quote - Alexander Woolcott)
Good explaination and surpurb planning and exicution by all. Glad Draco got the Wizard's Oath lifted, as SOMEONE had to explain everything.
OKay, let's see what BV has up his sleeve next!
HE!HE!HE!
Cool!
I was right, na,na,na,na,na!
SO, Draco is on the sword's edge iwht Severus holding the handle. Very tricky balancing act those two are doing.
At lest everyone is on the same page now. Maybe even Harry, especially if Lucius and Draco met again and Harry sees them fighting each other.
But as Remus said, Truce for now.
ONWARD!
That was a close call, and STILL Harry doesn't get it!
If he'd seen the interaction between Draco and his old man, MAYBE he'd believe it.
Crap! Then there's still the bit about Hermione's parents.
Hell, what about Tonks' folks? and let's not forget the Dursleys. Okay, maybe we could forget them.
HE!HE!HE!
ONWARD!
NOW WHAT?
I'm so anxious to just keep reading, I'm almost tempted to not type a review . . . oh, I am . . .well, then, if I had been Hermione, I'd have hexed Delores just for good measure, or at least sent my patronous to knock her backward off of her chair!
HE!HE!HE!
NOW I cand find out what's going on!
Be right back!
I knew it! Severus DIDN'T kill them, just made it look that way to TOTALLY get BV to believe he was loyal, no matter what Bella thinks.
And I'm glad Hermione heard what Draco said.
Poor Severus, well maybe he'll be able to help futher on in this story.
That was a lot of action in one chapter.
Atleast Hermione has her wand back and she and Draco are back at #12. I know Severus didn't kill hermone's parents, but let's hope his desception fooled Bella AND Baldie Voldie.
And Draco hasn't learned - don't piss Hermione off , POW! what a great right cross that girl has!
HE!HE!HE!
Aw, crap, now Hermione's wandered off . . or taken off.
At least she knows a bit more about Draco and maybe will figure out that his mother's death was what puched him into his roll of spy for the order. MAYBE.
And Lucius got off easy, but at least Severus got to vent some of his frustration and Lucius knew it, too!
Onward!
Oh, this is getting good... the suspense is palpable. I want so much to go on and read the next chapter, but I have to do some things around the house first.
I liked the way you described the pain of the Dark Mark burning... and you write Voldemort really well, too. The way he talks about "His Mark" with such reverence and adoration is chilling.
Well, that explains why they were there in the first place, and now Hermione will have the 'guilt' about what they were talking about when the other 3 walked by.
Sad scene for the Weasleys and Molly reacted as any mother would.
Will they trust Draco, tho?
Better keep reading and find out.
Whoa, that's one whiz-bang of a start!
Ron dead right off the bat and Draco stuck with Hermione.
Wonderful. Brilliant. . . Bloody hell!
And I'm really interested in what story Severus made up to explain Draco's disappearance. THAT is going to be good.
Onward!
HE!HE!HE!
This was one of the best chapters, julsie! I loved the part where Harry walked in on Ginny, and then came out and thought about what Ron's reaction would be... isn't that always the way, we forget that our loved ones are gone and can't wait to tell them something, or fear their reaction to something only to be slapped in the face with the reality of their loss.
I thought the scene with Draco and Hermione after Harry and Ginny was actually true to form, as well. I may have a hard time seeing the two together, but if they were to get together, I can totally see Draco telling her she was going to get a free show, lmao! That cracked me up (and in a good way ;o)
