Draco Malfoy has changed sides. When he decides to leave Malfoy Manor, he needs help packing. While at the Manor, a surprise arrival changes everything. The warnings show abuse and violence, but I promise that nothing will be bad. It really is more of a romance, but the other stuff is necessary.

I've been posting on here for a while and have decided to update my profile. I'm 30ish... I have a husband... I have two daughters... and other various creatures living at my house. My real life consists of work, fanfiction (which sometimes supercedes work), and chasing after my teen and tween.

Reviews for Broken
You are quite right, they are too different to 'always be sunshine and roses'. I am sure you will give me a happy ending. As usual an excellent chapter, and my favorite Potions Master made an appearance. What more can a girl ask for!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
You are going to LOVE our Potions Master in the next chapter. He is such a diverse character. I'm working on a HG/SS that I hope to get up sometime soon. He is probably my favorite character, other than Harry.
Response from sinbad (Reviewer)
I can't wait to see your SS/HG fict, it is my favorite!!!
I hope Harmione does not let people and pressure get to her, she needs her rest. I think that Draco needs to be honest with Pansy about his feelings toward Harmione because we know that they love each other and will not admit it. Pansy better not ruin or come between Draco and Harmione. Update soon.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I have the next chapter finished and already working on chapter 17. I'm going to get them to my beta at the same time, so maybe I can get ahead. Thanks so much for the review.
AAAAAAAGHGHGGH!!! Poor Draco. I know Hermione has no reason to trust him, but she really needs to listen to him. That was painful, but a good chapter. I really need a happy ending, though. And Pansy needs to be fed to the acromantulas.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Don't be too hard on Pansy. She just found out that she wouldn't get her hands on Draco's inheritance. Bless her.
hrnmmm... I'm not sure I like the idea of the memory regaining being on hold....... *thinks about it* I guess it is the best way for them to move forward in the short term and for them to cement their relationship before all hell breaks loose. Pansy.... a teacher.... hrm.... I say give her hell!!! HEHEHE!I'm still wondering who Severus' lifelong love is... there are a few people that I don't want it to be like MM... NT... Narcissa... yeah... anyway....Great chappy... I love Harry's confusion on Lucius... Newsflash Mr. Potter not everything is black and white! HEHEHEHEH...(I should stop now... and I think one should not mix meds and reviewing... it equals rambling!)~*~Selene~*~
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I adore your rambling, Selene. Hermione is so fragile right now that she couldn't handle what those memories have in store for her. No one -- including Sev and Harry -- has any idea what those memories are. They are looking out for her well-being. I think you are going to LOVE the next chapter. My beta says it should be ready by Monday or Tuesday. Tee Hee! I am really proud of it.
I like the bond between Draco and Harmione. Lucius death was a bit sad even though he did vile things and Pansy fainting, that cut the cake. I wonder if she could be the new Ancient Runes teacher? Looking forward to an update soon.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I'll go ahead and answer one question for you... Pansy is the new teacher. I chose Ancient Runes for a specific reason. I can't tell you anything about the next chapter, but I want to apologize in advance. Thanks so much for the review.
*snickers* Delightful! No questions this time, either. More! I love finding updates
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I need to put the final touches on chapter 15, and then it will be off to RobisonRocket.
That was a difficult chapter, but I love Pansy fainting at the end, that was funny.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I've been trying to find a way to write Pansy into the story. She's so much fun, and now that I have her at my grubby little fingertips, Pansy won't know what hit her.
Don't worry about how long it takes to update, you are doing a quality work and that takes time. I'm happy Hermione and Draco are finding peace with each other. I'm also sorry that Lucisus killed himself it was such a waste. Hopefully the soon to be newlyweds can find an answer and a conclusion.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
When I put up my next chapter, I will have a special message just for you. It's too bad for Lucius, but I had to do it. You'll understand when Draco finally views the Pensieve.
Response from sinbad (Reviewer)
Awww how nice of you!!!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Well, I do have it in me. I just can't seem to find it sometimes.
*chuckle* Poor Pansy. Let's just hope Ron is always there to catch her...
Great update!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Oooh. You're going to think "poor Pansy" when you read the next chapter. I think she's a fun little character. Thanks so much for the review.
Interesting Cliff hanger. I wonder how this is going to play out. If we have not seen the last of Lucius would he have known about Harmione's pregnancy. I hope we will find the answers soon. Update soon.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I have my next chapter with my beta, so hopefully it will be this week.
Now I am well and truely lost... hehe... I was okay in the beginning chapters now I am hopeless... I do know Hermione is pregos with Draco's baby and that Lucius is insane.. past that is a blank. I'll just wait for the ride to continue.Great story!~*~Selene~*~
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I certainly don't want you to be lost. You're one of most loyal readers. If there is anything that I can clear up for you, let me know. I'll be happy to accomodate.
Response from seleneangel (Reviewer)
I like being lost on occasion... it spices things up! It's a great story and I am happy to wait for more clues/answers later. ~wink~ Don't worry... I'm still here! (if you note the smiley... I have a wand and ball for my entertainment while I wait for the next chappy)
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
You're wish is my command, Selene! I shall write a new chapter tomorrow. Hopefully it will be in this weekend. I think I'll venture back over to Draco and Hermione. Then we will see what Lucius us really up to.
Response from seleneangel (Reviewer)
YAY!!!
OK, now I'm more sure the baby is Draco's. That was really a cool chapter. I liked that.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I'm so glad you liked it. I was so nervous writing it, because I don't do battle scenes very well. What can I say, I'm a lover, not a fighter. Thanks so much for the review and the stars.
absoutely delightful. this is the first fic with any fluff that i have enjoyed in a long time it is very well done.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Thank you so much. I'm actually in the process of re-writes and editing on this story so I can post it on potterplacearchives
Now that Draco told Ginny about how he felt for Harmione, they have another dilemma that they must face. I feel so bad for Harmione and Draco. Update soon.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
That which does not kill them, makes them stronger... I have the next chapter in queue. Thanks so much for reviewing.
Is it Lucius's baby? I'm kind of hoping it is Draco's.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Read on, my friend. Read on. Thanks so much for the stars and for the review. Hopefully I'll have 1, mayby 2 more chapters up this week. These reviews have me inspired.
That was excellent, a fluffy, sweet epic without too much rush, oh and BTW Thanks for getting rid of moldymort so easily, he really IS such a pain!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Hehe! Thanks! I'm a lover -- not a fighter. I'm afraid I wouldn't do a battle scene the proper justice. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
potterbrat, as to your A/N THANK GOD! *WHEEEEEE!*
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Hehe!! You liked that, did you?
That was beautiful. Sev loves her! But Draco is so handsome and sweet, Im an older "witch" too, so there'd be no doubt in my mind who I would choose.....SS, of course! Ahh but maybe Draco if I was eighteen again. *sighs*I wish there were people like that, such a hodgepodge collection of "family" and unity in my world.Kudos, you are brilliant!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Thanks so much!! I love Draco's image (pretty, but bad). And, Sev is such a contrast -- dark, dangerous, and sexy, but loyal to the end!!
I Know they did it, Draco & Hermione, they just cant remember. She wasn't with Lucius! Yay so sweet, Hmmm too bad she can't be married to Severus and Draco!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Oh, I know!! I became a bigtime HG/SS fan, but I'd already started on this one at the time. I still love HG/DM stories, though. Thanks for the review!!
WHAT! No, no, no..... She is pregnant with Lucius' child? It's a shame she can't remember what happend. Though I wonder if it really is Lucius' baby or...? He could have used a spell to force... lets say, Draco to do his bidding. Severus told them that Lucius is rough and it didn't look like his 'work'. Hmm I'm just letting my mind run wild. That happens a lot. (LOL)A superb chapter so keep it up, because I'm hooked. Big hugs, Carmille
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
AHHH! My faithful reader! Bless you! You just wait. There are some tricks up my sleave. Things will seem obvious -- but, are they? You never know what Lucius will do, when he's a madman!
Hmmm. I have a feeling I know where this is going. I won't throw out my theory in case I am right. I don't want to ruin your story if I am. But I am thinking: Lucius can't, er perform, and D&H are missing memories. How better for Lucius to hurt his son without killing him?
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
You are a good reader. Thank you so much. I think you are catching on, however, there will be drama, drama, drama along the way. Thanks for the review.
You're right, I did see this comming, but I am sure you have a trick or two that I am not expecting.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
You already know me too well. There is going to be a LOT happening in the next few chapters. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the fireworks.
Well, that's a fine kettle of fish. I guess they'll be stewing over that for a while!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
AHA!! A new reviewer spun in my web -- I love it! I don't think you'll have to wait as long as you think. I predict chapters 14 and 15 will be something to really look forward to. Thanks for the review.
oh!You got a bit emotional there but I guess it's inevitable when babies are around. though it's normally the women who go crazy and emotional.I'm looking forward to your next update. I can't quite imagine Hermione away from her friends and the battle zone. She's too absolute. Hugs Carmille.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
I had to show a softer side of Draco. He's going through some major existential issues right now. Everything he's ever known is gone, and he realizes his father is a complete creep. He knows he has to be kind to the only "family" he has left. There are going to be some major happenings in the next couple of chapters. Chapter 9 is off to my beta, so it should be very soon. Thanks again for your loyalty!
What an emotional scene. It was heartfelt and touching. I enjoyed this pleasant chapter and looking forward to an update soon.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Broken)
Thank you so much. I will have an update this week. I'm hoping to have 9 and 10 up before Friday.
