Lucius is the spy! Oh how fun!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I've always love to make Lucius a good guy. It's fun and unexpected.

Its funny how the flit between having adult conversations and playing hide and seek. I hope when they get changed back they remember all the fun they had.

I'd hoped I made the transitions believable.

I have a seven year old. I would ground her till hell freezes over if she went to a village where there was going to be a battle. Severus better watch out, Albus might give him a spanking.

Little Severus isn't good at taking orders LOL

"Nimue’s titties "LOL!
Well that potion had disaster written all over it! You had me laughing out loud with the last line!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, yeah a nervous Ron makes for a disaster.

What can I say I wanted to wait a read the whole thing before leaving a review. You did a fantastic job, I truly enjoyed your story. BTW you did very well on the lemons, its not easy writing those.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you for taking the time to read the entire story. And thank you for the nice comment on the lemons. I've always felt that to be the hardest thing to write for me. LOL, I always feel like it's going to read like one of those cheesy bodice ripping novels.

Laughed hysterically more than once. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you for reading through the entire story. I'm very happy you enjoyed it.
First, the really pissed off chihuahua comment had me snorting my tea. (As I read with my chihuahua sleeping in my lap, where he has to be if I am sitting or he gets pissed.)Secondly, Albus' exclamation of what in the name of Nimue's titties-- again, dying from laughter. My side just might literally split open.This promises to be a very entertaining read.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. I love Chihuahua's btw, but boy do those pups get scary when they're pissed. :)
That was GREAT! Hahaha Seriously, great job on this story! It had the right amount of humor and drama together. Again, great job!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I try to balance things out in my stories. A little of everything is good, and if I see too much drama, I always try to add a bit of humor, because life isn't always just one thing.
Thanks again, I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
I wanted to let you know that I love this story. I remember starting it months ago and went "oh, no, it's not finished". Then I found it again and was very happy rereading and finish what I started months ago. Thank you for the great story telling.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I'm glad you found it and were able to finish it. I always finish my stories and try not to take too long during updates. I do this because as a reader of fanfiction myself, I hate reading stories that take long to update or stories that are abondoned. I'm glad you liked this one.
That was great, I love happy endings and that they are still running riot LOL.Oooh a new story::jumps up and down::
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I couldn't help myself. I had to get them back to kids again and making Mr. Filches life miserable.If I can manage to crank out one or two more chapters I'll begin posting the new story maybe this weekend.I hope you enjoy that one as well.
thank you for tying up this story so nicely. very enjoyable.
waiting for a new story. well i guess you deserve a break after this excellent story.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I like to tie my stories with a nice fluffy bow sometimes. I'm going to start chapter two of my new story this weekend. I want to have a few chapters post ready just so that I can be ahead of myself a bit.So, if all goes well this weekend, I will be posting the first chapter at the beginning of the week.I hope you find the time to enjoy the new story too.

That's wonderful
Thank you once more for such a lovely story. Your writing is just like good wine, it improves all the time.Looking forward to the new story. Best wishes.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you! It's always good to hear you are improving. It helps me to try to better myself with each story.
I enjoyed the whole story.One night I was reading this story and I went into hysterics OOPS I woke up my daughter.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I hope she didn't get too angry at you. Thank you for taking the time to read it and let me know you enjoyed this.
good chapter just keep doing what i told you about writing about what you do with someone. and someday you will be writing smut like a pro.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I think I need someone to pratice with. Thanks for reading the chapter. I'm probably going to be finishing this up this week.I've got the first chapter of another fic I'm working on that I need to add a bit more too, before I post it.I'm not sure where I'm going with it so I want to make sure I've got a plan before I start to post anything.I like to have my fics worked out at least to the point of knowing how I might want to end it before I begin to post. That way I know I'll finish it.
Beautiful!!! Everyone is happy! Hurray! As always, the writing is wonderful. I love your stories Ancientgirl!!!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you! I'm glad you like my stories. I try to make them happy. Even though they have a bit of angst in there, I generally like to make my stories end on a high note.I'll have the final chapter up some time this week.
I loved the Severus saying "no" bit, it had me laughing, with relief probably. Ginny thinking Lucius was dead was so touching, so more relief there as well. I really love this fic and am sorry that it'll be over soon. I wonder what you'll do next?
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks, I'm glad you liked both couples. I wanted Severus and Hermione's part to be a bit more light hearted than Lucius and Ginny's. I felt their relationship had been a bit more strained. That and she didn't get to see Lucius after she fainted.And you know, I wonder what the heck I'll do next too.Something different and as of yet undone hopefully.
Thank you for a brilliant update. I loved Severus's proposal, it was great. Ginny and Lucius was perfect too!I was slightly worried at the length of time between updates, because your beta and you are such a good team.Best wishes, to her and you.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I'm glad you enjoyed the update. And I'm glad you stuck with it. I figured the Severus in my story wouldn't have proposed any other way.I was worried that since I do usually get my chapters up fairly quickly that people might start to wonder what happened. I myself was worried when I didn't get my chapter back from June. She's always so fast. I'm just glad she's better now and getting plenty of rest.
Their reunions were great. I loved the proposals. And the lemon aid was just fine.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the chapter. I did enjoy writing the part where Ginny thought Lucius was dead, much to his horror.
i think you write smut beautifully. not too much not too little just right. geez now i sound like goldilocks and the three bears.
great chapter. enjoying very much. sad to hear one more chapter to go. but it was a wonderful adventure. thank you.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that. Since I know I just can't bring myself to be too descriptive or graphic, I try to give just enough so that I don't embarass myself LOL.I'm sad to see this one end. I've really enjoyed writing it.Thank you so much for sticking with it. I always love hearing from you.
Response from pickles (Reviewer)
Thank you. It's so nice to be appreciated... 
Severus? Oh, dear. What in the name of Nimue’s titties have you done to yourself?” OMG LOL
