Great chapter:) I really liked it when ginny found out about the dress and the rest of the clothes. I was wondering did narcissa also get rid of drake's old clothes because I am thinking yes she did, right? Anyway I cant wait for the next chapter to see what happens next. Hope its soon;)
Author's Response: Thank you! Draco got rid of Drake's old clothes in Dragon and Angel - he bought Drake new play clothes and the old ones have slowly disappeared ;)

I'm enjoying you extremely realistic portrayal of the children, as always. Even for it's lack of what one might call a more intense plot (or at least up to this point), this is fun because it seems real. You know how to write real life, and it's really very entertaining, funnily enough. Well, keep writing. You're doing a wonderful job.
Author's Response: Thank you! I try to keep it as real as possible :)

Oh sure Ginny’s got the temper but at the end of the day it’s our beloved Draco that still kicks arse :D! I really loved all the characterisations in this chapter as well as the parallels you have woven between the senior and junior Malfoy’s – it’s nice and subtle and not too in your face (which I think would have otherwise ruined the story). I also like how you have shown both women to accept their wrongs (albeit grudgingly) and lay them aside as well as Ginny’s realistic acceptance that in the future there will undoubtedly be more problems between her and the in-laws! I also like the detail you have outlined in the running of the house; it was rather refreshing to see that it actually does require work to run a large manor because most stories don’t even bother to take it into account. And I’d like to point out now that the interaction between Narcissa and Lucius is just amazing – possibly one of my favourite parts of the chapter. I’ll cut my review short now and will just say that once again this was a delightful read and with this one chapter you have set up a lot of interesting scenarios in the future which I’m sure you will unfurl as the story progresses :D. Look forward to your next update.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm speechless :)

This chapter reminds me that I am very glad that I don't live with my mother-in-law. And I was impressed by how well Ginny kept her temper later in the chapter. Drake's protectiveness of Angel was also very cute. Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Thanks! I think it serves as a really good reminder to all of us that seperate abodes are a grand idea ;) Ginny can hold her temper when she wants to ;)

I love it!! Thanks for updating. Just wondering...it doesnt seem like she's pregnant any more. I mean, before there was all this fuss over the fact that she couldnt yell and scream - but not once did anyone say anything. Just wondering. Once again, thanks for updating!!!!!!! Update as soon as you can.
Author's Response: Thanks! Oh she's still pregnant, but Draco has just learned when not to mention the fact that she shouldn't be upsetting herself because it only serves to inflame her more ;)

Great chapter as always:) I loved the way you made Draco cringe at the thought that of what kind of gifts he would receive from the Weasley's. I can not wait to see how Ginny confronts Narcissa. Also since it's obvious that both Drake and Angel and the new baby of course will always get new clothes and other stuff which will also be of better quality, they will end up always comparing with their cousins and being a little bit more spoiled then the rest, don't you agree? Anyway I hope that this is true because that will make for some very funny and interesting talks, so I am basically just asking if drake angel will eventually start to look down at what their cousins have? Will you also write in future chapters about how Ron, Pansy, Harry, and Hermione's pregnancies are coming along? Have they started to show, yet? One more question can you give a hint about what the next chapter will be centered around, other than the purple dress issue, hint hint? Terrific job well done and keep up the great work:)
Author's Response: Thank you! Drake and Angel will be comparing what they now have with their cousins, and tossing their noses at what they consider inferior. It will make for some very interesting discussions. All the other pregnancies will come into play. They're just starting to show, but not obviously so their clothes still hide the fact nicely. In the next chapter Draco has a really, really bad day ;)

Just a little note. I love your story, I've been following since the 3rd or 4th chapter of the 1st story. I have to say, it's a little odd when your own name pops up in a story you're reading. My last name is Sutherland. Where did you come up with that for the tutors name?
Author's Response: Thanks! I actually googled surnames of the British Isles and simply chose Sutherland from a very long list. It doesn't actually mean anything other than I liked the sound of it for a hard task master ;)

Ommigod. That was long! But really brilliant. As usual :) I cant wait to see what happens next. And where did you get the idea for Fred and George's present??! WOW. Im still laughing at that. Please keep writing!!
Author's Response: Thank you :) The idea for Fred and George's present actually came from the spam that keeps landing in my inbox (Viagra, Sensational new formular to make you last longer, etc...). Spam is good for something ;)

Wow, this chapter was so funny and entertaining. Great work as usual! After I read this I just got this sort of silly idea that you and others might like. What if at the end of every chapter, you just tell us the title of the next chapter? I don' know but it seemed like a fun thing to do and then we can have something to look forward to you know? Let me know what you think. Well anyways, can't wait to read more! Good luck!
Author's Response: Thanks! While I'd have no problem giving away the title of the next chapter I probably wouldn't have even decided what it's going to be at the time of posting the previous chapter. It's the very last thing I decide, because I hate thinking up titles and I generally procrastinate over it ;)

Aww, this chappter was so cute! I loved the get together and all the lovely and humorous presents. I wonder where this story is going to take us though. I hope, and I'm sure you do, have some major conflicts and climactic moments.
Great story and can't wait to read more!

Oooh Narcissa is in BIG trouble; I look forward to see how Ginny handles that particular scenario without blood being shed. And the last little bit with Courtney made me go "awww" - it wasn't too sappy but tugged at my heartstrings all the same. I also loved the interaction between Draco and Bill – it seems fitting that as the oldest brother he would be the most accommodating with Draco. Wonderful work once again! I’m eagerly awaiting the next chapter :D!
Author's Response: Thanks! Do you really think Ginny can confront Narcissa and not spill blood? Draco doesn't think so ;) Bill doesn't have the history with Draco that the younger Weasley boys do, so it helps him to accept Draco better.

Awwww! So cute! I absolutely love it. Draco and Drake were so adorable with 'matching smirks' when they informed Ginny of her suprise. And a very big one it was! Draco was so cute, worrying over his wife's opinion. Now I have to go look up that 'hideous decorator'. I love it! I love it! I love it! Keep it coming!
Author's Response: Thanks! Drake certainly is his father's son ;) Draco was worried only because he'd promised Ginny she could decorate and he didn't know if he was really doing the right thing by going ahead with the job.

Oh, this was such a nice chapter. Very, very cute, and definitely worth the wait. I think we should all be glad that for the most part, this chapter was relaxing, as the next time Ginny sees Narcissa there'll be hell to pay. I have a sinking feeling that Draco's mother discarded all of Angel's old play clothing while Draco and Ginny were honeymooning, and that will really only make things worse. I can't even imagine...
Pansy and Ron's gift was great; I know it was only a small part of the scene but the detail of the way you described it made the desk set sound great. And Fred and George's gift was sufficiently traumatizing. They might as well expand into an adults' only shop, instead of just having a section in WWW!
Nice chapter, as usual. Can't wait for the next.
Author's Response: Thank you! Ginny fully intends to voice her opinion to Narcissa, whether Narcissa wants to hear it or not ;)
Glad you liked the desk set description (I did agonize over that one a bit). Fred and George wouldn't be the twins if they weren't traumatizing someone ;)
