LOL. Cute.
Oh, now the Bill reference makes more sense. Perhaps a little Ron/Gabrielle, or perhaps not, but if we must have fun at Ron's expense, we might as well let him have a beautiful girl to distract him from thoughts of what Hermione might be getting up to after dinner.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Yeah, I figured Ron deserves something nice; we always bash him so. LOLThanks for the review! :)
That was hilarious. Absolutely loved it.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
So glad you liked it!
Well no wonder Ron was in such a rush to get the ingredient. Although if he cant tell his friends about the pregnancy there are going to be troubles ahead!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
You have a good point here. But given the prompt and the time limit, I really didn't want to develop it further. :)Thanks for your review! *pats the shinies*

That's sweet :o)
Author's Response: Heh, I hope you don't mean the potion ingredient. :)
Thank you for reviewing!
Alcina vom Steinsberg's response: Definitly not! ;-)
Yack!Thankfully I wasn't plagued with morning sickness!Good reasoning from Hermione as to why she's happy now.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
LOL I shuddered at the idea, too, and felt really grateful I have absolutely no Veela heritage whatsoever. :)Thank you for reviewing!
Oh I had visions of other things, but this was so funny! Thank you for the laugh.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Thank you!
Very nice use of the prompt. Poor girl. I'm sure she'll have to suufer this a lot with Ronald. *grin*
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Heh, thank you! *pats the shinies*
I have it on good authority that essence of donkey testicles are often used by those in the know as a jackass repellant (literally and figuratively). Keeps away the Nargles, too. This was hilarious! Thanks for writing!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
... which would explain why Severus carries the essence around with him! *falls over laughing* Brilliant idea!Thank you for the review!
what ! ron got himself a veela!! how and in which universe would this happen??!! funny combination. I wonder how Snape would know... hm. definitely not from experience. but I take it like Hermione, lets be happy for him and forget about him when the culinary delights await us, along with two luscious wizards. yesss!! definitely the better choice.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Well... if you ignore the epilogue, anything is possible. *grins*Snape would know because he is a Potions master, so how would he not know what ingredient is needed for what potion? ;)Thank you for reviewing!
Response from salvamea (Reviewer)
no, I thought: how could someone so daft as Ron get something so precious and special and don't know what like a veela.of course he knows by his profession. I just thought, he could never have got near a veela, too.hehe evil me.
essence of donkey testicles!? Yuck!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Indeed! LOLThanks for reviewing and the stars!
Wonderful! Stories where Hermione walks into the sunset in the arms of Lucius and Severus while Ron are left behind is just my kind of stories:-))
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Heh, I like those best, too.Thank you for your lovely review and the stars! :)
Essence of Donkey Testicles??? Eeewww!! I think I'd rather just vomit! LOL Though, since I wound up with 'round the clock' sickness, as opposed to the morning variety, I might have been desperatte enough to try it. LOL Really unique. My hat is off to you for making such an entertaining tale from such a peculiar prompt!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
LOLOLOL can you imagine how I felt when I conceived the idea and then wrote it? 
Thank you for your kind words!
Funny, funny, funny!! Loved the H/R interplay... loved the everyone else/Ron interplay even better. Thanks!!!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
So glad you like it, GG! Thanks so much for reviewing and the stars. :)
I would have to agree with the consensus that essence of donkey testicles would make me more ill. But this was a brilliant use of the prompts. Awesome!!~Stef
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Heh, I totally agree with you. I'm ever so thankful I'm not Veela, LOL.Thanks for reviewing! *pats the shinies*
Lucky Hermione! Lucius AND Severus AND Greece. Honestly, that girl gets all the good stuff. This was quite an enjoyable read, brightened my night!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
I thought she'd deserve a nice ending of the day after running around with Ron... :)Thank you for reviewing! *pats the shinies*
and that prompt epitomizes my squeamishness about saturday night drabbles. (oops, excuse me - flash ficlets?) you did a lovely job with a nose-wrinkling prompt.
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
*roars with laughter*No, my dear, that prompt was pure evil. And I don't even know what I did to deserve it. Besides being my usual self, that is. ;)Thanks for reviewing! *pats the shinies*
LOL Essence of ass curing morning sickness! It so wrong XD
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
I absolutely agree. And I'm so glad I'm not a Veela! :)
I hate to ask how this would help a Veela's morning sickness...Fun story. Thanks for sharing!
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
I'm so glad you're not asking! *laughs*Thanks for reviewing!
Brilliant job with a squicky prompt. I loved Lucius having a laugh at Ron's expense - but who doesn't, really?*starts pondering a nice one to give you next week*
Response from karelia (Author of The Elusive Potion Ingredient)
Thank you, PjP! :)
