Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was afraid it might be a bit hard to follow since there is so much going on.

I'll probably post the next chapter this weekend.

This is coming to the end so, I'm thinking maybe two more chapters left here.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I didn't have anybody, so I got to keep all of my candy.

you write stories fast after this is done soon do you have another hermione and severus one for us to read.

Thanks for taking the time to read all through the 22 chapters! I hope you enjoyed it all the way through to this one.

I do have the next chapter over with my beta, so it should be up by the end of the week.

Also, I don't plan for this to have an angsty end.

Thanks again for reading and leaving me a review.

Well, you'll be happy to know that I've just sent off the next chapter to my beta. Hopefully I'll have it up before the end of the week.

Isabella is a Muggle-born witch. I really haven't read many stories with Rodolphus, but the few I have he's a total bastard. I thought I'd do something different here and I'm glad to see others have enjoyed him this way.

Thank you for reading the chapter and leaving me such a lovely review.

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it.  I thought that would be an interesting game for them to play.  LOL, it was the only one I could think of that would get Lucius in jail.  Thanks for leaving me a review.

I'm glad you enjoyed that.  I couldn't help that last bit about Lucius.  I imagine him being quite put out by that.Thanks for reviewing.

Yeah, I think Wizardopoly would be fun.  Poor Lucius though. I really wanted to show how much he cared for her, even though most people thought she was a horrible person.I see Neville as a lonely person.  He's alone and has been since his family died.  So I'd like to have him come into the fold and find an extended family with his friends.I'm hoping this week won't be so bad and I can do some writing at work.Thanks for reviewing!

Yeah, I'd love a wizardopoly myself.  I'm going to try to get to the next chapter soon.Thanks for taking a moment to read and review.

LOL, sorry, I try to update once a week and this past week has been horrible.  I'm glad you enjoyed what you've read so far.  I'm going to try and begin a new chapter soon.Thanks for taking the time to read and review.

LOL, noooo, no prophecy for our lovely blond wizard. I just couldn't let the opportunity pass though it have a bit of fun with him.

If I'm feeling well tomorrow I'll start the next chapter.

Thanks for the review and for keeping up with this. I always appreciate your feedback.

LOL, if I could draw worth a damn, I would love to draw a picture.

I thought it was an interesting idea though.

I thought about his game peice being a little snake, but a carriage seemed more out of place and of course I had to use it.

I'm so glad you are enjoying it!  This was actually the last HP fanfic I wrote and my favorite.

Thank you for being open to continue reading the story.  I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Thank you for being open to continue reading the story.  I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Thanks!  I wanted to do something different with Bella.  I always wanted her to be redeemed for the things she'd done in the past, as in this story she was slowly beginning to realize the errors of her ways, especially after Cissy died.Well, you know my views on Severus and Lily and I wanted to put them here.  I think it makes sense.Thanks for leaving me a review.

Thanks!  I'm hoping to start the next one at some point today.At least, that's the plan.

Ack!  I'm writing as fast as I can!I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, although I'm sorry I've now got you hanging by the cliff.Thanks for reading.  I'll get another chapter up this week.

Yes it is sad, but that's what will make what happens to him all the more fun to write.

I tried to make Lucius and Draco's talk as realistic as I could in their current situation.Your day sounds absolutely lovely and I wish I was there to tag along with you!  I hope you wind up having a wonderful time at the fair and the lunch.  Thanks for taking the time to read this before you left.

Well, he'll make sure that Dolohov doesn't talk.Thanks for reading and leaving me a review.

Thank you so much.  This was the last fic I wrote, and it is my absolute favorite.  I think of it as my swan song.I'm very happy you enjoyed this.

Yeah, Lucius seems to know what kind of a woman he's dealing with where Ginny is concerned.I'm working towards some alone time for them though.  Probably not in the next chapter, but I think maybe the one after that.

Thank you for your comments.  I have to say I'm often guilty of making Ron the butt of my jokes, but I wanted to show just what you said, Ron can be mature and I think that while he might not be the brightest star in the sky, he's not a complete moron.  So I thought it would be nice to have him show a bit of understanding towards his sister's situation.Severus' main problem is Dolohov, he's not going to be easy to avoid, but I've got something interesting in store for when they finally get together in the same room.Thanks again for your comments and for taking the time to read this.

I'm glad you are enjoying this still.  Thanks for taking the time to read it and leave a review.

He is, but that's what I get from reading JKR's books.  I think he's an incredibly arrogant person.  All the better when he gets taken down a peg or two.Thanks for reading this and leaving me a review.
