Hey, I wouldn't want to find out you've been put away in a "special" place for your sanity.I'm glad you liked the chapters.  I've got chapter 4 already sent to June for her perousal.  Lucius makes his appearance.Thanks for all of the support you've shown me with my stories.  I appreciate your wonderful comments.Have a wonderful New Year.

Yeah, Sev could have been harder on her, but he decided he just wanted to pout, thus making her feel worse.I'm thinking Lucius will make for some interesting fun, in as far as the "boys" trying to compete with his lusciousness.I'll be writing Lucius' parts tonight.

LOL, I think its the cat pee for me.  Blech!Thanks for taking the time to review.

I almost used Saffron, but I used it in another story.  Plus I like Sage.  Yeah, poor Sev is forever suffering because of those damned Gryffindors.

Poor Hermione just wants to have all of her loved ones by her side.  She should know better though.  Sev likes his privacy.I'll have more soon.  I'm glad you liked the first chapter.

I'm glad you see you enjoyed this chapter.  Yep, a bit of humor is on the way, as well as a bit of competition between the least likely of people. 

Poor Sev.  He always seems to get the raw end of the deal doesn't he?  I don't know why I put him in these situations, but its fun.I hope you do like it.  I think I'm slowly getting out of my rut. 

I'm so glad you are enjoying my other stories.  I hope you continue to read the others.  My two favorites are The Ghost and Mrs. Krum and A Tale of Two Men.

LOL, can you tell I'd recently watched National Lampoon's Vacation before I wrote this?

Hey there, thanks!I'm glad you enjoyed this so much.  I had such a good time writing it.   I wanted to do something to get my mood up, since RL was driving me nuts.I hope you enjoy my other stories if you do wind up reading some of them. 

Thanks!  I like to give my stories an even balance of everything.  If you make someone cry, you should try to give them a laugh at some point.I'll have more up soon.

I'm glad you have enjoyed it so far.  I think I've got maybe one or two more chapters to go on this before its done.I tried to make it have a little bit of everything, drama, romance, humor.  Thanks taking some time to read it.

Hey, there.  I haven't seen you around in a while.  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.  I hope hubby likes it too.

Yeah, I couldn't keep making him suffer.  Heck, even I was beginning to feel sorry for him.  I'll have more up soon.  Thanks for reading.

Yeah, that's not much of a challenge.  I'd make sure Lucius found me then go hide with him.I'm glad you liked this chapter.  I thought it was time for Harry to get his act tobether.  I'll have more up soon.

I've got something, hopefully, very romantic planned for Lucius and Ginny.  I wasn't sure who I should try to get Harry with, but then Whimbley said she always liked Luna and Harry together, so I figured, why not.Those kids are loyal.  They won't give up their dad.Thanks for reviewing.

Well, the twins did it to themselves I figured.  They will have to apologize.  And yes, Severus got away free, but he really didn't have much to do with their planning other than show them that last spell.  He's such a good father.  I hadn't thought of what Hermione would have done to him, since I never planned on him getting caught.  He's too whiley for her.Now, I can't tell you if Harry will end up with Luna, but It is interesting that she will be spending the New Year with them all, and Harry is the only one not paired off, so...

Too far?  Nah.  I did start to feel a bit sorry for him myself, so I had to end his torture.  Besides, I think he's learned his lesson.  And of course the kids will have to apologize, so everyone won't think he's totally nuts.Thanks for reading this chapter.  I hope you did enjoy it despite Harry's um...affliction.  LOL.

I thought Lucius would do things a bit differently this time around.I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.Thank you for taking the time to review.

LOL, sure Lucius' money cushions the blow regarding the age factor fro Arthur.

LOL, yeah, he must look a fright.  I'll begin typing that up soon.  I'm trying to figure out something special.Thanks for your wonderful comments.  I appreciate you taking the time to review.

LOL, they are doing a job on Harry aren't they?  I'll have another chapter up probably this evening.Thanks for sticking with this.

Well, see I find people tend to feel too sorry for Harry.Don't get me wrong, he hasn't had the best life in the world, but he's not the only person in the wizarding world to have it hard.In my story I saw him more as a person who instead of moving on and taking advantage of his opportunities to do something really good for himself and others, he's just allowed himself to become stagnant.  He's been really shitty in his past, going from woman to woman.  In the next chapter he'll find out that his actions have led him to where he is right now, so he's pretty much done this to himself, but is blaming the rest of the world.But, don't lose hope, I do have something nice planned for him.
