Oops! Guess I've been neglecting my self-promotion activities on Potter Place. Must wobble on over there!*giggle* Be careful what you wish for--Reggie might decide she wants some dancing lessons in the birthplace of the Tango, and as Severus knows, she can be a right irritating houseguest!

No problem. I was able to find them anyway... ;)

 I don't know. Irritating houseguest as she may be, she may help me get my own snarky bastard. *giggles*

Thank you! In the face of such kind words, I feel a little guilty revealing this, but... I'm afraid some questions simply won't be answered in the epilogue. Not since I have a good 12,000+ words of a sequel written so far...Shhh! That's a secret!

Okay, you now have me eagerly waiting...I loved the first story so much I saved it to disk to take to work (where we aren't allowed to access certain sites) to read in my lunch break.

Really enjoying this one

Ah, well, long epilogue... no. More Jarvey? You bet your sweet bippy! Yahooooo!

Am I foreshadowing a little too heavily again? LOL It may take a while, but I promise, promise, PROMISE, fandom has not heard the last of Regina P. Fletcher! And I'm not just talking about one mere epilogue.Here's to Reggie and all those who love her--and may those who don't love her tip a few cold ones back until they see more clearly!

Whee! I think I went a little heavy on the foreshadowing!Weddings? Oh, there's only one chapter and an epilogue to go. Weddings... that's a whole 'nother story, luv. Thanks for reviewing!

Thank you so much! I wondered where all those folks were who were silently pushing up the hit counter. I promise, Reggie will have snark and profanity to unleash in the next chapter! She's nearly barmy from only getting to say one word in this one.And I also promise that a warm and soapy Severus and Hermione will be doing some rolling around... but I don't think it will be due to laughing. Woo hoo!

You know, that is the cutest angry mob I've ever seen. Hey! Careful with that torch, buddy! Chapter six is Pending, for goodness' sake.Reggie is, indeed, in the next chapter. Check the scene where Draco and Severus come through the Floo. Snape realizes his 'invisible tormentor' is still clinging to his shoulder when Draco dusts him off. She's silent, for a change (since she can't reveal her presence for anything short of an emergency.)  Thanks for reviewing, luv!

Hee hee... I have reached another milestone as an author--I've achieved the ability to 'drag' things out. I promise, it picks up presently! Thanks for reviewing!

*Snicker* Once that comment popped into my head, I was giggling at random intervals for the rest of the week!Ahh, many things are on the horizon. The only question is, will we learn them in the next chapter? Or will it take another entire story? *evil chuckle*You're very welcome for the chapter, and rest assured, I can never keep those two lovebirds apart for long!

Thank you! There is a bit more... but golly, I don't think I can squeeze a wedding and babies into one measley chapter and an epilogue! Guess I'll just have to come up with a sequel!

Thanks luv! Reggie sends hugs.

Thank you so much! I fretted a great deal about that scene, not wanting to lose the humor, but wanting to respect that it was a serious, emotional moment. And if Reggie blessed me as a baby, that might account for what my Grandma remembers as one of the first real sentences I said: "My mouth is always getting me into trouble!"

LOL I love your assessment of Ron (and men generally.) Yes, I think if he became TOO mature, it would just spoil his charm. Albus struck me as being excellent Fairy Godfather material. *grin* Madam Mab completely missed out. Thanks for reviewing!

I'd better have a 1/2way decent assessment of men--I've got 4 brothers and a husband...husband's fond of saying that he was more mature at 16 than he is now that he's in his 40s...but yeah...they think they are all that, then they discover they don't really want to be like that and start acting like a kid again...

The first time I ever heard one of my teachers swear was the first time I nearly choked to death on a laugh. Somehow, it just seemed the thing to toss in there!I'm glad you liked the chapter, and especially about the Harry feedback--I've been terribly worried about writing--well, about writing anyone except Severus and Reggie. (For some reason, they come very naturally to me.)

LOL Well, I can't abide violence, so eye-poking is out (sorry, Messers Howard, Fien, and Howard!) But before the night is over, everyone will listen to SOME form of reason--more or less!*sigh* Overgrown, overdressed bat... just sounds so... romantic.

Ah, it's trouble all around, this time! Reggie can't stay away for long, she has too much fun with this lot. And I'm glad you have fun with her, too!

*blushes* Well, with both my grandads having passed on, someone had to take up the mantle of family storyteller! Plus my dad was of the opinion that no little brain could grow up strong and healthy without frequent helpings of 3 Stooges, Marx Brothers, Abbot and Costello... you get the picture! I think I was the only eight year old who knew who George Wallace was, because my parents had to explain the punchline of the phonograph record with Bill Cosby's '200 MPH' routine on it.

Your wish is my command, luv--more is in the queue! Keep your brolly handy, it might get messy in here!

Oh, yes... few men have encountered 'Thermonuclear!Hermione' and lived to tell the tale! Thanks so much for reviewing--there's more in the pipeline, including the wacky antics of Regina Fletcher, Fairy God-Jarvey!

Whee! I'm glad you had fun with the original. Hopefully you will find the sequel just as good, if not extra crispy! Five more chapters to go, and a wee epilogue. Stay tuned! Thanks a million for reviewing! 

And the Mad HP Fanfic Wives' Society recognizes yet another member in good standing of the Puzzled Hubands' Auxiliary!I remember reading about hatters and mercury ages ago--something about the compound they used to treat the felt soaking into their fingers as they shaped the hats, wasn't it? No OSHA looking over anyone's shoulders in those days! (I shudder to think of what glassblowers went through.)I'm very glad you enjoyed this yarn, and in case you fancy a giggle at one in the morning again (or any hour, always open here at TPP!) I'm currently posting the sequel. Thanks for the review!

Dracontia's muse (an attentuated yet fuzzy muppet-like creature with huge, beseeching eyes) is held at wandpoint by what appears to be an overweight barbie doll in a purple and gold Ren Faire costume, with diamond-studded cat's eye glasses and large, gauzy wings, who screeches, "I want a moment of triumph! That Fletcher beast has bedevilled me long enough! You WILL give me that moment!""Yes, Madame Mab," the poor Muse quavers, trembling before the creature whose face is beginning to match her dress."That's more like it," she growls in a self-satisfied manner as she flitters off (at least, as much as a thing with the proportions of a bumblebee can 'flitter.')Thus, the Evil Cliffie came to be...Little does Mab know, dracontia does not take kindly to ANYBODY messing with her muse. Payback's a b!tch, Mab, as you'll find out in the sequel.Musie is recovering nicely with the aid of chocolate. Thank you kindly! The story is begun, and hopefully there will be enough that I am ready to post by the end of summer (I really have to write something for the Sex Ed challenge first.)In the meantime, I think it is safe to say that the lovebirds are more than adequately... compensated.

1) I love Ron, too. Alas, I've never had a plot bunny just for him, but he shows up in any number of stories (including a stint in The Fairy God-Javrvey's Apprentice) and I always try to get him some much-needed respect!2) I think I'd been saving up that remark since I first heard of Phineas Nigellus. :D3) Thanks very much for reviewing!
