Thanks! Just think, you had the pleasure of reading it today for the first time! :-)I'm really glad you liked the little story, and you're very welcome! I may write more Malcolm/Trudie fics yet. I don't know if you've checked out the first chapter of "Charming the Scottish Garden," but they'll appear in that in one of the later chapters.Thank you very much for letting me know you enjoyed it. Hopefully, my Muse will have me writing another Trudie & Malcolm fic sometime soon!

oh I do hope so! I've been away from the online world for a while so I'm not yet updated with all my favorites authors, but I did read Charming the Scottish Garden, I can't wait to see where it goes, I do like Johannes a lot and was very sad to see him suffer a bit in RaM when Trudie started dating Malcolm. I haven't had the chance to read Death's Dominion or A Long Vernal Season, but I do believe I read somewhere that Trudie and Malcolm have a son? and that Malcolm died? I will read them of course but I am very curious about this! Thanks for responding to my review anyway and I hope your muse allows for more Trudie and Malcolm fics! Thanks.

Yep, they have a son named Gareth, after Gertrude's late brother. I think you'd like him, too. :-)I hope you enjoy Death's Dominion & A Long Vernal Season when you get to them. I think DD is one of my better fics -- you have to remember that P.O.V. is really important in DD, thought, and that things aren't always what they seem. ;-)Have fun catching up with stuff online!

you are good, avoiding the most important question! but I guess I have to be patient and wait! lol now I'm more curious than before I think!, I can't wait to start reading them! Thanks!

Hi there, Esmelle! Glad you like Malcolm and Tru and enjoyed this little missing scene! It was a natural place for one, I thought.Thanks for the review! I appreciate it!

Thank you! It was fun to write a little Gertrude/Malcolm lemon fluff, and back when I first wrote Resolving a Misunderstanding (boy, that seems an age and a half ago!), people seemed to like the couple! And since "A Spree" is one of my favorite chapters, and "Apres Spree" up there, too, I thought this might be a nice place for some zesty refreshment!Glad you liked the bit with Albus and Minerva. Albus, of course, is also thinking of a time or two back in the day when he "distracted" the Arithmancy mistress himself, so he thinks that Malcolm just might succeed in distracting her heartily! hee! And, as you say, Minerva has succeeded in "distracting" him on more than one occasion by that point in the story!Thanks very much for the review. I really appreciate it!

I prefer not to think of those times when Albus might have "entertained" or "distracted" Gertrude Gamp. I like to think that was ANCIENT HISTORY!!!! lol

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this glimpse of intimacy between Gertrude & Malcolm early in their relationship. Malcolm was caught but good! (Excellently appropriate emoticon at the end there!)

Thanks! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :-) I am rather partial to Malcolm, myself. ;-)
