I've got the second chapter at my beta.  I like portraying Lucius this way.  I happen to think there is more to Lucius than we are being led to believe.Thanks for reviewing.

I've got the second chapter almost finished.  I was planning on posting it at the beginning of next week, but I might get it up this weekend if I can get if finished.You'll see in that chapter what happened.Thanks for reading.

I'm glad you like it so far.  You'll find out first thing next chapter. I hope to have that up early next week.

Thank you.  I'm hoping to give it some good drama here. I'm working on the next chapter and hope it will be up soon.

Yep, its got to end at some point.

Wow, you read the entire thing fast!  You know, I really wanted to include them, sort of give them the opportunity to repent.  Though I hated Bellatrix in the books and movies,  Here they enabled me to give the reader characters that were far from perfect, yet were able to realize the error of thier ways and try to correct the bad they had done, even though it would mean death for them.

I couldn't help but read this in one sitting.  It is such a great story.  That's why I neglected to review individual chapters.  Also, sorry for the initial brief two line review.  I was tired and writing on my iphone at the time.

No apologies needed.  Thank you for taking the time out to actually read it in one sitting!  I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much.

Thank you for reading this. I'm very glad you liked what I've done with these two minor characters. I saw it as a chance to do something different. There is so little written about them. I pretty much saw it as an opportunity to just do something interesting. I thought Bellatrix was the natural choice to save Neville, and while I originally thought of killing off Rodolphus, I grew to enjoy writing him and his journey here.

I also couldn't help having fun at Lucius' expense.

Thank you for such a lovely review.

Thank you for reading the entire story.  I began this fic as just a sort of study into my imagined relationship between Severus and Lucius, but as I was writing Rodolphus, he came to life.  I realized I'd never read anything about what his journey may have been like.  I really enjoyed making Rodolphus into what he became.I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Thank you for reading it. It was the last story I wrote in this fandome, and I think its my best and certainly my favorite.

Thank you. I had hoped that the emotions would come through the way I'd seen and felt them in my mind.

I thought getting married was something the Severus in my story would want. While he felt confident, there was still that feeling in the back of his mind that he wouldn't make it, so he wanted just a few moments of normalcy while he lived.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and leave me a review.

Thanks. I'm liking the way he's evolved in this story. I think I needed for Bella to give him the go ahead to live his life and let go of her. I've got most of the next chapter done. I'm thinking it might be the last one.

Unless I do a short epilogue with Rodolphus, which actually I might just do.

LOL, I could totally see him saying that here. I don't know why, but I like the word, it's all business. You know what you're going to get when someone tells you that.

Nah, they won't be too upset. They'll just be happy the guys are alive.

Thanks for reading the chapter and leaving me a lovely review.

Hey, I'm glad you liked it.

Don't you worry about Rudy, I've got something good planned for him.

I'm writing the next chapter this weekend.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and leave me such a lovely review.

Yes, he had lots of help, but in the end he fulfilled the prophecy.

I've been writing off and on most of the day, so hopefully I'll have something to pust by next week.

Thanks for the review.

LOL, heck woman, give me a chance to write the next chapter.

I never planned on killing off Rodolphus. I've grown rather fond of him here.

Harry's scar is gone though, so at least they know for sure Voldy's not coming back in anyway shape or form.

It took me a while, but I finally got him AK'd, well Harry did.

Thank you for reading this. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

I'm going to sit down at some point today and begin the next one. There are certainly going to be two very happy Gryffindors.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I had hoped it would be good ending to the battle.

LOL, yeah, I kind of thought about it at the end, having the women be inside and all, but it's more fun to let the guys get rough.

I have the next chapter already finished. It's just waiting for June to have a look through. I'm thinking it should be ready to be posted by Saturday.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. I'm very pleased you enjoyed it so much.

Ah thanks! I'm glad I took your suggestion and added that bit. It was needed for those two.

I"ve got chapter 24 knocking at June's door so I can hopefully post it soon!

Thanks for leaving me a review!

LOL, sorry. But if its any consolation, the next chapter is already written. I sent it off to my beta, June, this afternoon.

I'm hoping to post it Saturday.

See, just a couple of days wait.

I do hope you enjoyed it, even with the cliffy. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a review.

Gah, I was so enthralled by your lovely review, I accidentally hit the flame button! Don't worry, I closed it before anything happened.

I'm such a dork.

You are so kind. I can't tell you how wonderful your review made me feel.

I really should begin getting my own work written down. Those notes I have written aren't going to exactly going to turn themselves into a story by themselves.

As always, I very much appreciate you taking the time to read my work and review it. I do have the next chapter finished and its already been sent to June. My plan is to post it this weekend. In the meantime, I should probably get started on the next one, which might be the last, or at the very least next to last.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much. I've tried to pack as much action as I could in these final battle chapters.

I appreciate your lovely review, and thank you for taking the time to read my story.
