This was beautifully written. Fantastic job!

I appreciated the nod to Indiana Jones and Star Wars. ('Well what does a Death Star do?' 'It does Death, Draco!' That made me literally laugh out loud in a very quite house where everyone else is asleep.)

This was really sweet. I loved it.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked this. It's a bittersweet kind of story, and not the usual kind of thing that I write for these two, but it really showcased their inner strengths.

So cute! Love this! :)

I think that once George finds the note Ginny left in his flat he's going to be furious. As for the broken vial, Draco was trying to remember the ritual it was always a possibility that he messed it up or did it wrong somehow. It doesn't particularly matter that the binding ceremony didn't work, they still love each other and the hopeless romantic side of me says that Narcissa will throw them a proper wedding once Draco gets out of custody.

Author's Response: I love your take on the mystery of the vial. I am also a hopeless romantic - probably obvious from the ridiculous amount of fluff in this fic. :) Thanks so much for reviewing!

Fabulous story! I can't wait for more!!! :) This chapter left me feeling a little bad for Harry, pining away for a woman who is happily married with a baby. Please update again soon!

Author's Response: Thank you! It should be updating fairly regularly. I just sent the last few chapters to my beta. Yay! And poor Harry will get a big shock for sure, but I will love to hear your thoughts on him once we enter Part Three. Thanks for the review! It really makes my day to get them. :)

Love it!

Don't get too down about not getting reviews. There's a lot of lurkers out there who, no matter what you do, will never post. Sad but true. I, however, found this chapter fantastic in every way and can't wait for the next.

Author's Response: Thanks. And I try not to get down. I have been guilty of lurking, too. But it does get difficult sometimes, and I feel like such a cry-baby to mention it. So thanks for the great compliment and the support! I am hoping to update weekly from now on.

I think that, if I was a mother, I would feel the same way Ginny does. Why bring Thuban out into a world when you don't even know if that world is safe? And when, to do that, you would have to sacrifice your husband's magic? That's one less person to protect Thuban if anything happens. Their beautiful little family is safe and healthy, why mess with that?

As for the chapter, I LOVED it (as per usual). I'm not going to lie, though, I'm kind of excited for when Voldemort is defeated and Ginny's family and Harry find out about her and Draco (and Thuban).

Author's Response: Thanks for answering my question. Your thoughts reflect my own. Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm glad you loved it and I hope you continue to enjoy it as we move into the next part, which will be coming up in the next few chapters.

I LOVED it. SOOOO much. Can't wait for more. I think this might be my fav story on here at the moment. :)

As for Lucius, I think you did an excellent job. He's lost everything other than his wife who he can't even be with at the point and you portrayed his desperation for the war to end very well.

I'm excited to see how easy/hard it is for the little Malfoy family to transition to life outside of the house and how their families will react. I'm sure the Malfoys will just be happy their son is alive but I'm pretty sure the Weasleys and Harry will have a different opinion. haha Can't wait!

Author's Response: Wow! Double Wow! Thank you for the great compliment and all the love!

And thanks for answering my question about Lucius. You're response is exactly what I was hoping for so that's awesome.

The big reunion is coming, but there's a bit more before that. You have a very interesting take on what will happen. I'm sure you'll let me know your reaction to what is to come.

Thanks again for the review!

I always figured Snape had died protecting Ginny and Draco. It's nice to see that he, somewhat, died on his own terms with Lucius casting the curse instead of Voldemort getting info out of him first.

In other news, I LOVE how you depict George. Love it. Also, I want him and Pansy to end up together. I feel like they both deserve to be happy and Pansy will never be fully happy with Harry. They've both lost so much what with Pansy losing her mom and George losing Fred...

...Have I mentioned how much I love this story? It makes my day.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review! And I had tried not to be misleading about Snape, but until Lucius showed up, no one else knew for sure what had happened to him. And that whole scene with Lucius and Snape kind of came out of nowhere. I never planned that in the beginning.

Thanks so much for your George-love! I really enjoyed writing him into the story - that was another surpise for me. He was not in the original plans either!

And now I must mention how much it means to me to get your lovely reviews! Seriously. Several chapters ago I was getting so discouraged. Part of me was ready to just throw in the towel. So thank you - the reviews make my day as well.

I think with a baby to care about, the train was the safest way to go.

Loved this chapter. So emotional and lovely. :)

Author's Response: Good point with the Muggle transport. Why didn't I think to point that out? Thank you so much for reviewing! And for the really nice compliments. :)

And it just keeps getting better.
I loved this chapter SOOOO much. Also, I love George. And the scene between Draco and Narcissa....
Okay, I'm making NO sense which means you've managed to leave me relatively speechless. Update again soon!!!

Author's Response: Thank you! I am so glad to hear that you think it's getting better. I am always so worried as we move forward that it's going to start to just fall flat. First I was worried about introducing the others in Part Two, then I was worried about the big reunion, now I worry about the resolution. This is stressful! Anyway, thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. So glad you enjoyed this chapter, even to the point of rambling. :) Update hopefully by Friday!
