Oh, thank you.  It's not a story that is good for everyone, you have to be willing to put up with my OC.  I have been accused of creating a Mary Sue, but I think that anyone who would WANT to be a child of the Dark Lord is crazy.  Something that everyone must understand is that perceptions are colored by time and that things will never be what they seem in this story.  I hope that gives you a hint into what will eventually happen.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for reviewing! You have made my day. I am sorry that I didn't get to reply until now, I didn't check the reviews until today. I know what you mean about not reading any post-HBP stories, I have tried not to myself for the same reason. Plus, I read my copy so fast, I didn't want to get canon confused with any story that was currently being written about the actions in it, lol. I wanted to be original, and explain her parentage so that there will not be any confusion. I did the math a while back so there wouldn't be any. I am glad that you like it. It means a lot to me to know that my story has your interest, especially. By the way, any hope for an update on "The Summoning"? You know I love it!

Bambu's response: I completely agree with you reasoning process about the HBP stories. As to 'The Summoning,' I have some of the next chapter written and I plan on posting by the end of the month. (I've been re-reading and editing the story for the past month, I simply couldn't remember what I'd written). Thanks for asking.

Such praise! Thank you so much for allowing me to post this here. I have not read too many of the post-HBP stories myself as I don't want anything influencing me on this. I hope that I can live up to the "absolutely mesmerizing" writing with the rest of my story. That, by the way, will have me preening for days!
