As my beta called it: "Repello Dumbledorius!"A pretty useful spell. The little one is in for a good start :)Thanks for reading and leaving a note. It is very much appreciated. /M

One of Morgaine's biggest regrets is having wasted too much time. Now, fear is keeping her from taking the chance to win back all that time. Severus will need to help her.Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. /M

I see they both have a very difficult time ahead of them, which is nothing new, really... Fingers crossed for Severus and Morgaine to win back lost time! Looking forward to the next chapter.

I wouldn't be that mean, now would I? Um ... Seriously though, Morgaine is desperate but her top priority is the well-being of her daughter and the man she has love since her teenage years. She would not hurt them by hurting herself. But still, there is a lot that is unsaid and needs to be worked through.Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. /M

Good Minerva only meant well. In her defence: in wasn't solely her idea *hints towards a certain portrait*All involved do deserve better. And it will get better. Eventually ...Thanks for reading and leaving a note! /M

Thank YOU, deb, for being such a faithful reader and reviewer. Means a lot, especially since Morgaine was my first OC. I'll miss her and her Severus a lot. About to engage in another adventure with the Star Sisters, but I have another SS/OCpercolating. In fact, I am very much itching to start writing. Hope to see you around.Thanks for all your support. /M

I did type fast, and the chapter is now at my beta. Hope she'll read fast :) Thanks for reading. Hope the next chapter won't disappoint.

Yes, I do know what you mean. And yes, it is a huge dilemma. Morgaine is longing to be with Severus, and at the same time, she wants to protect and guide their daughter. And she cannot do both. So she will have to wait, no matter how much it might hurt. Typing frantically on the next chapter as we speak. Shouldn't be long, I hope.

This is fan fic. If I decide that Avada Kedavra works on paintings, then it will :D Morgaine still has many issues to work through. She might have suspected for a long time who her father was, but having proof makes the whole thing real. Severus will have to help her. If she let's him, that is. Thank you for reading and the shiny stars :) Two more chapters to go, I think.

Dumbledore has used Severus and Morgaine for so many years. Now he will have a chance to repay them by looking out for Demeter. But of course, one never knows what his intentions are.Severus and Morgaine's relationship has never been the most physical one. To be able to touch each other's minds has meant a lot to them. But yes, physical affection is very assuring and comforting, and not being able to touch each other properly is a difficult thing to live with. Almost as difficult as the challenge to fight the dark forces that are still around. Keep your fingers crossed.I'm so glad you're enjoying this. It means a lot to me! /M

"plain cute" were the words my beta used. I see my reputation flying out the window ;-)Seriously now, I very much like Severus and Morgaine to have some sweet moments in this story. There was enough heartache in the last one.Glad you're enjoying this. Thank you, as always, for reading and leaving a note. /M

Who would have thought that something a Malfoy said would come to good use? But yes, Morgaine has a lot to think about now. Hopefully, she will gather the courage to talk to Severus soon.Thanks for sticking with me and the story. /M

Yes, what does dear Lucius want? What he always wanted: a world in which his beliefs are the right ones and where he is one of the leaders. Twelve years ago, Morgaine didn't play along when he wanted to use her to rise in ranks. Will he try again now? With Morgaine? Or Demeter? One never knows with that snake ...Thanks for sticking with me, deb. It's much appreciated!! /M

Poor guy has been chewing on all this for almost tolv years. He's bound to choke sooner or later ;-)Thank you very much for taking the time to read and for leaving a note. /M

"tolv"? Good morning!! Should wake up before answering reviews. "twelve" of course.

Um .... YES! What more can I say? ;-)Thanks for the shinies. They made me very happy!

You didn't? Wow, I must be doing something right then ;-) More crazy stuff ahead, so buckle up.

There is only one person who's crazier that Lucius, and that would be ME! haha

Thank you very much for reading and leaving such lovely reviews. As I have told you before, Severus and Morgaine are my OTP, and Morgaien is the OC I've come to love the most. I'm always very honoured when a reader feels connected to her.

Everything will be alright in the end, in some way. Planning to we writing for two weeks now. /M

Oh yes, Dumbledore the puppet master... I am considering testing of Avada Kedavra can kill portraits as well :P

I solemnly swear that I will be nice to them. Eventually :)

Hehe, I take that as a compliment :)

If I only knew what will happen :P It's been a while since these characters played by the rules and followed my original plot. They do what they want, especially Lucius. Keep your fingers crossed for Severus - and the others, of course. Thank you, as always, for reading and taking the time to leave a note. /M

Yes, poor Severus, I am not making things easy for him. I should see a professional about that. Thanks for reading, dearest, and for leaving a note. /M

Just imagine if those two had had those conversation while Severus was still alive. What a change it could have made. Hindsight, indeed.Glad you're enjoying this and taking the time to comment. It means a lot! /M

Severus is ace at blaming himself! SKÅL! :)
