It began with a letter, and a secret. Was it madness to trust? Was it a secret salvation? Or was it all just lying on a ring, in the end...? (***HBP SPOILERS***)

I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

Ron jerked a little with the strainer... uh oh

...Mweeheehee?

(It is verrrrry difficult to giggle evilly, I'll have you know.)
another great chapter down thank you!
I like the way you portray Filius Flitwick here, he has so much more potential as a character than he is usually given credit for.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
I felt he was underrepresented in fanfics. Just like I strove hard to not Ron!bash, but to instead show him with some of the original intelligence potential he had in the earlier books, I wanted Flitwick to be more than just the 'really short Charms professor'. (Of course, I was bad and Harry!bashed...but if it's not one, it's the other, and it's hard to get out of the seesaw-ness of !bashing those two...)

What on earth did Albus say to turn on that lustful dislpay? My goodness!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
You'll find out by the end of the story, never fear...
~Lotm
Hmm now I wonder what would happen if she gave birth to a dark eyed, dark haired, big nosed baby before they had revealed who Russel really is? :)
Wonder what they will think of her special present for him ?
Severus Snape, Power Shopper LMAO
awww Severus is much better than Snape or Russel..do you have any spare chocolate frogs around??
wonderful chapter, I love Hermione in a rage!
It just gets better and better, now why does he want her pregnant?
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
Mweeheehee...
~Lotm
keepin' her mouth shut (so you'll be forced to read to find out why)
Great , now she is taking some control back.
She now has to decide whether the Snape or the Russel persona is the person she has married, who is the reality and who is the facade?
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
Among other things, yes.
~Lotm
What an amazing chapter 
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
It was very tough to write, but very important...
~Lotm
Arabella Figg and Mad Eye Moody is not something I plan on dwelling on!
And what on earth is a hoser??
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
"Hoser" is Canadian for "jerk". In specific, it's Saskatchewan/Manitoban slang. The culture is comparable to, oh, Minnesota in the States. (It's also slightly outdated by now.)
~Lotm
Response from sunny33 (Reviewer)
Thanks for that, however Minnesota's culture is a mystery to me,. I live in NZ!
"The Man who offed Voldiebutt".. cool!
Hmm I wonder if Hermione sees Snape in the mirror? He is her greatest desire even though she doesn't realise it yet.
I'm on the edge of my seat here, so pleased I found this well after it was completed, the suspense would have been dreadful.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
Feel pity for those who had to endurethe suspense whilst I wrote it...except it also did land me a contract with a publisher, because it turns out my editor was one of those snared in this story's thrall...muahahah...
~Lotm
He is restraining himself well with Ron isn't he! I liked the chocolate and "nuts" LOL
How you write such superb sex scenes without deteriorating into bodice ripper overkill or mens magazine crassness is beyond me! clever you!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
You could say I've made an actually serious study of the different hues of "passion's purple prose", and put a lot of effort into learning how to write interesting, believable smut.

it's not just my favorite thing to do in the whole wide world; it's my career, too
Oh my goodness, she did it!
love the dragon so possessive like you know who. But out of curiosity , what's a pilot cracker?
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of In Annulo)
It's a large, palm-sized, oval cracker, made from bleached wheat flour, usually not salted on top, and not quite as thick as your little finger, but considerably thicker than most crackers. They're reputed to be descended from ship's biscuits, or "hard tack". Only much tastier, though they're actually a plain ordinary cracker. Just jumbo-sized.

Lust, UST, whatever it's all good!
