Next chapter goes into the queue this evening, so it may be a couple of weeks. There's quite a few stories being validated right now. ^_^

Oh, yes. Let the games begin. *evil laugh* ^_^

I always thought she was rather undervalued in the books, even in the fight scenes. ^_^

You mean as in "Beware of Greeks bearing horses"? Or was that gifts? *shrugs* Oh, well. I'm not too sure how he'll work out so I gave him my cousins' last name. ^_^

*grin* Keeeep reading! ^_^

Because his voice is really terrible? *grin* I thought of using "Friends in Low Places", but Joe Cocker got into my head and wouldn't leave. ^_^

Ha!  I'm trying to picture Draco as a bass, pulling off "Friends in Low Places." Uff. That would have been even worse!Bad singer karaoke, Hogwarts style.

*light bulb moment* Story idea!!! ^_^

Ack!! Now I've got this image of Harry serenading Ginny with "Every Little Thing she does is Magic"... followed up by Lavender trying to win over anyone with "Afternoon Delight." Then we'd need someone to knock back one too many to acquire the nerve to pick up Pink Floyd and direct the line about 'no dark sarcasm in the classroom' to Snape!

Great Idea! You want it? ^_^

I'm afraid I'm not actually funny! I leave it to your much more capable hands!(Of course, the real question is what song to give Dumbledore... or Sibyl? Or Lockhart!)

I thought the book was apt considering the imagery. Glad you liked it. ^_^

Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying this little story. It's the first fanfic I've written even though I've posted two other drabbles before I started posting this, and I really enjoyed listening to the voices in my head once I got used to Lucius hijacking my story. *grin*There are 38 chapters total including the my version fot the infamous Epilogue. Anything I have to rewrite is included in the original chapter so I doubt very much there will be more. Of course, don't quote me on that. ^_^

Thank you. I am so glad people are enjoying this 'little' tale. It's my first fanfic ever because I wrote it before I wrote the others even though I'm only posting it now. Chapter 8 is in the queue. ^_^

LoL! You think she's in demand, now? Just wait! ^_~

LoL! Narcissa has him in her power, n'est pas? I'm glad you're enjoying this. Chapter 8 is in the queue. If you think he's got woman troubles now, just wait! ^_~

Considering Lucius hijacked the story from Severus and took it to Malfoy Manor rather than Spinner's End, I have to say I agree with you. ^_^

That will be approximately four years from now since they still have to finish 7th year. ^_~ Glad you're enjoying the story. ^_^

Just wait and see. *semi-evil laugh* ^_^

I have a lot of interesting twists and turns to come. *semi-evil laugh* Glad you're enjoying the story. ^_^

Glad you enjoyed it. My last comment to you should have been here. Next chapter: Draco, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron. Oh my! ^_^

More fun to be had in the next chapter and it involves Ginny. 'Nuff said. ^_~

I'm afraid, like all governmental institutions, the Ministry will always be the Ministry. Especially with Percival Weasley working there. *grin* Of course, having to pay Master prices for Hermione's brewing does rather put a cramp in things seeing how she doesn't *have* to sell to them. Thanks for reading. The next chapter will be uploaded to the queue as soon as I get it back from my britpicker. ^_^

And the fireworks are just beginning. *grin* I want to try and add some humour to the story. I hope I'm succeeding. Chapter 4 is in the queue. Hopefully it will go up sometime next week. The admins are really good about catching commas my beta missed. ^_~

I know. Now that he doesn't have to play a role, he wants to try and repair the few friendships he once enjoyed (and since it's my story, that's how it's gonna be). ^_~

Didn't you know chocolate is the universal healer? ^_~

Of course! Not everything can be solved by magic every time. ^_^

Oooo! Look at the shinies. *grin* Chapter 4 went into the queue today. Hopefully it will be up sometime next week. ^_~

Sorry about that! I was writing mostly in the evenings so my time was limited. I think some of the later chapters are a little longer. All I can say about future developments is Keeep Reeeading (to quote JR Ward). ^_~

Yeah, Narcissa didn't waste any time, did she? Glad you're enjoying this. ^_^
