You gave this some thought, didn't you? But remember these: Rocks into Dogs, Teapots into turtles, mice into spoons and snuffboxes - things are cahanged all the time form one 'element' to another in canon. Only in book 7 did she mentin the food thing. A convenient way to cover a hole she made. Many leaves are eddible and I didn't specify which ones you needed to use to make bread, and Some kids won't eat green things. That's why I chose 'leaves into bread.' Plus we are still talking plant into a plant product, fibrous into a fibrous food. Hope you see my logic. Thank you for the review, I hope you liked the rest of the chapter.

Thank you very much. Yeah, I decided to take a totally different turn with my version. I considered the Hermione, Ginny, even Luna in canon and decided that they wouldn't have laid down and 'taken' it from the MInistry. They'd fight - rebel. I'm glad that you like my version and yes, It's going to be a fight! or a demonstration of strong wills.Thank you very much for the review and the pretty stars.

It's the DA all over only this time more students have signed up. Actually, I like ML fics, but so many times I"m thinking, 'why in the world is she taking this? Why is she such a doormat?' So I thought how I'd react and considered how Hermione, Ginny and all would act and came up with this - They'd fight it or rebel!  I didnt have very many names for Ginny's year, only a few, so OC's are necessary. I'm glad you don't mind. And I wanted a Draco that was redeeming himself. Oh, You'll see McGonagall's reaction and it might surprise you.You are very welcome. Thank you for the review.

Thank you. I have always wondered why Hermione woul dhave been such a doormat in some ML fics, so I went with what I thought would be in character and had them fight it. I'm glad it's working out so well. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

LOL They are kids - give them a break. It will get messier as we go along. Thank you for reading and the review.

Thank you,

. Yes, I thought that with Goyle and Draco mending a fence with Hermione, it led the way for a interhouse unity. Besides they all (mostly) want to fight this thing.

Thank you,

,

Yes, Slytherins and Gryffindors are unititng behind a mutual cause, but then heck, if I were Slytherin, I'd want the brightest student in the school on my side and helping me get out of this too!

Lucius is having to 'give his testamony, just like Draco and Narcissa did, allowing the Wizengamot officails to view his memories and such. He'll have a harder time convincing them of his reform, or that he wsa Imperoused (sic?) but, Yes, his reaction will be fun to type.

Yes, well, I'm not sure that this was exactly what the Ministry or S.H.M.R.C. had in mind. LOL

I'm glad you liked the Bastard Law. It will certainly make things interesting.

Thank you for the review.

Pretty much the students are sitting ducks. I'm sure they would simply not consder Muggle marriages as valid and disregard them completely. Lucius' reactions - and others are forthcoming, partically written and in progress. But thank you for the thought provoking review!

Thank you.

I didn't want to jsut have the 'she opened the paper and read..." Something like this comes from somewhere, and evolves into... then WHAM!  Draco is a Slytherin, and Hermione is known to be brilliant. Since he's willing to put the past behind him, and it's in his best interest to have her 'brain' working on his side in this - they've joined forces. Anbition and cunning indeed!Thank you on the compliment of Hermione's idea. I'm working on how it will work out and if they succeed. I hope to have it done soon. Thank you for the review, apisa. 

Thank you very much, brayer. Oh, Umbridge is carted off to jail in this one I'm afraid! But her friends and minions (That's a coool idea, thank you) wil be rightly frosted!I'm busily working on the next three chapters where the 'muck' begins! Thank you for the review.

I agree with you. Thank you for the review.

You don't know the half of it!Thank you for the review.

Yes, it is rather messed up. Not only more Muggle-born resentment but creating pure-blood mistrust. Yes, things get worse. Draco and Goyle's behavior changes partly steams from their interrogations at Azkaban and having to relive their missdeeds. (I did that for a reason) and having to go back to school to take more classes in order to get their N.E.W.T.s It sucks. I know. Some of the attitude adjustment is real. Yes the grandparent thing was horrible. Sorry, but the swing is still moving. Thank you for reading and the review and the pretty stars.

*pats back* Don't worry, not on that account. I will give as much as I can in each chapter, but harsh times lie ahead. You're welcome for the chapter, than you for reading and the review.

Yes, they have had some rehab in Azkaban and it made them reevaluate things. That and now they have to pass Muggle Studies to graduate. Thank you for the review.

yes, and boy howdy! Way *swish* to the other side!

Thank you very much. Well, she decided that it was better to have Winky happy than miserable. I think she understands house-elves a little now, knowing Kreacher. I know, the reliving the memory as it's being put back isn't exactly mine, I read it somewhere, but it wasn't as tough as I described it. However, having to relive the memories will change Draco a bit. And Lucius. Yes, it sucks. I'm sorry it seemed wordy, but yes, there's a lot going on and it's only the beginning. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Thank you very much. Yes, you'll be seeing more of Lucius in the future and Draco.

Yes, they are. It will take a while, but so far there isn't very much they can do. They are aware though. Thank you very much for the review. You'll see how things go and what pans out.

I used a reallife model of England after WWII as my inspiration, and what life was like. Then made it into magical terms and conditions. Unlike other ML stories, I wnated to build up to the marriage law and then deal with it how I think it would have been 'accepted'. No Dormat, 'oh, ok, I have to,' Hermione. So things are a little different. Thank you for the review, Beth, I hope you like what comes next.

Thank you very much. Things are progressing in that direction!

Thank you very much. Nope, things are not pretty out there and the student are getting worried.I know I don't have much Lucius yet, but I wated to show the pure-blood reaction (Draco and Slytherins) as well as Hermione and friends. This actually takes place after DH and beore (instead of) that epilogue. But thnak you for the compliment. I'm glad that you like my story. I bet you can tell what comes next, can't you?

That and having to relive all his missdeeds in Azkaban opened his eyes a bit too, I suppose. Yes, I believe that by the beginning of DH, Draco didn't like the path he'd chosen, and has started to think for himslef. Thank you for the review,

. 

apisa, thank you so much for pimping my story. I smiled each time at which part you kicked for the sample snippet. I'm flattered that you came back to read it and obviously enjoyed the story. Mostly,I wanted a write a different take on the whole ML thing, more realistic and have the characters act as I think they would. ANd in order to have the wizarding world got to such an extreme, there had to be something going on - so here it is.I actually had raised rabbits before, and know a puppy breeder. One thing that you have to do is occasionally go to another breeder for 'stud service' to interject 'new blood' into your stock or you get congenital deformities and illnesses. So that's where that comes from. Muggles and Muggle-borns are the 'new blood lines. Oh, you'll see more of Draco and Goyle. Their time in Azkaban had a profound effect on both.Thank you so much for the thoughtful and thought-provoking review. I enjoyed it very much.
