Thanks!  I wanted to give the couples equal time.  Neville is going to have a bit of a time over at the Riddle house.   You should see more of that in the next chapter.Thanks for leaving me a review.

She's got her work cut out for her here.  She's got two Malfoy's and a Potter to deal with.I'd like to start the next chapter this weekend.  I'm itching to get a certain scene written.Thanks for leaving me a review. LOL, you know you'll be the first to read the next chapter.

Neville is very important here, I've got it worked out in my head, now I just have to get it down to where I can describe it like its playing out in my head.I'm hoping to get another chapter written this weekend and at the very least update at the beginning of next week.  Hopefully I'll have something by then.Thanks for leaving me a review.  And don't worry about Neville.  I like him, and I can't bring myself to kill him off.

Thank you. I feel a little bit better. Too bad old voldypants wouldn't take a turn and mark him as well. lol

I don't mean the dark mark either.

Trying to kill him like harry and it would backfire..

Oh, I think you'll like what I've got in mind.  At least I think you might. 

You know what I like!

Pass it on to hubby.. lol nah just teasing.

I think I'd certainly enjoy something like that myself.  I wanted them to just finally get over that hurdle though, so I think this chapter did it.Thanks for reading and leaving me a review.

what did you think of challgen

I thought the challenge sounded interesting.  I can't say right now if I'd be able to do it though.  Not until after I finish this, and even then I'd have to see if I could come up with something.

I hadn't planned a foursome, even though I thought it might be interesting after I finished writing this chapter.  But, I think both couples, while they are very good friends, might not want to share their significant others.Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review.  I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far.

I like Neville too, I wouldn't do anything horrible to him.

Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review!

Thanks!  I'm pretty happy with what happened to Dolohov myself. I'm glad you are caught up.  I've started the next part to this chapter so hopefully I'll have it finished before the end of the week.Thanks for taking the time to catch up!

Yep, all up to date.  I'm hoping to begin the next chapter at some point this week.  Hopefully if work isn't too crazy and my boss decided to spend some time out of the office, I can start.I'd like to post the next chapter if now by Friday, then at some point this coming weekend.Thanks so much for reading this all the way through!

Hermione will be more okay than Ginny. But there is a part two to the next chapter, so its not all going to end there.

LOL, you'll see.

That would have been a good thing.  Hell, I'd want one of those books myself.

Yay!

I can't remember what it could be but I'm telling you now, there is a brief slash scene coming, nothing very descriptive, but you'll have ample warning so if you want to skip it you can.

Just the idea of putting someone whose dead skin on my own... *shivers* is squeaky.

LOL, I went back to read what it might have been and yes, that would give me the willies too.  But, Higgenbottom didn't actually die.  I should have made that more clear.  I was planning on having Rodolphus make a comment to Lucius at some point.  I'll make a note to myself, just so that people don't think the poor old guy is dead.

OH that's right. Brain must have been on overload. lol

sounds like a plot for a short story. Whatever happend to Mr. Higgenbottom? Is he related to Neville Longbottom? ;)

Well you did read quite a bit today, LOL.Higgenbottom was left at a hospital, at least that's what Rodolphus was supposed to do.  I'll write something in an upcoming chapter about him, just so that people know Rodolphus didn't up and totally mutilate the guy LOL!No, Higgenbottom isn't related to Neville, but, funny you should mention Neville.  You'll see him soon.

excellent. love Neville.

Lots if interresting things on store.

I just don't know why I feel so uncomfortable writing them.  I mean I love smut!Will Hermione find out?  I'm not telling!

Thanks!

I try to keep them sort of between really short and really long.  I go by a certain amount of pages when I'm writing on my computer.  Sometimes I go beyond, sometimes I stop before, but this way I have a good stopping point that I know people are comfortable reading to.

Things are as they seem on the surface at the Riddle home. 

Things are as they seem on the surface at the Riddle home. 

Thanks.  Just warning you, there are a few slashy moments ahead in later chapters.  You'll begin to understand the relationship between Severus and Lucius soon. 

Thanks for reading it.  I should have more at the very least by next weekend, if that is RL doesn't kick my ass.

Hey there!  I'm glad you are intrigued.  I hope you continue to be interested.I'm on 15 chapters right now and I'm thinking it might not go beyond 20, but who knows.I always appreciate your comments and insight.Thanks for taking the time to read and leave me a review.

Your welcome.

The family has been keeping me busy. As well as getting ringed into becoming a cheer coach for the K-2 group.

Will read more in a bit. Hubby insists that I feed him and do some housework. We will see how much is the later that is accomplished.

I'm so happy you got a laugh out of it.  I've been wanting to get that line in there since the last chapter.Thanks for reading and leaving a review.

Yes, I'm glad you noticed that.  I've slowly been trying to show things in a different perspective.This is first about two men, second about their relationship with not only each other but the women in their lives.  I've also been wanting to give a different view of the Death Eaters.  While I don't believe they are all questioning their beliefs, I have to think there must be some who are merely going along with it, for fear of their own lives.I'm going to have a bit more in the next chapter with the DE's and the Lestranges.  Don't worry, the Order will be notified of the attack, and something interesting will happen in the end of the chapter too.Thanks for leaving me a review.  I always appreciate your  insight on things.

Yeah, he certainly got what was coming to him.I'm going to have more scenes with both couples in the next chapter.  I do agree, that Hermione looked in the pensieve because she wanted to help Severus, but still she did invade his and Lucius' privacy.  That will be addressed in the next chapter.  I'm also going to address how both of the women feel about their lovers having had a relationship in the past.I didn't want to get too descriptive with the L&S thing.  I think it was better to have it be a bit more subtle.Thanks for reading and leaving me such a lovely review.

I'm not planning another flashback scene.  I am going to have more discussion in the next chapter by the two couples about what was seen though.
