FOURTEEN YEARS for Hermione to have that baby -- OMG, she must have given up and then become pregnant by accident.  What happened to SSHGLM -- are they happy together as a trio?  I'm glad Lucius' reputation has improved; it was worth a Time-Turner, plus he got an Order of Merlin.  Thank you for the captivating story!  I've enjoyed your explanations of magic and seeing how you rearranged all the characters.

Fantastic story and well ended!  You showed their heartbreak over the babies beautifully and a perfect name chosen for her to both remember her siblings and still mark her as unique.  Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the intriguing read. It has been a pleasure to follow this story to its conclusion. I am glad that you gave them a happy-as-can-be-ending; it`s much appreciated. Many thanks, again.

Great job sticking to getting the story completed, we are glad you did! It was a compelling and well written fic.

I hope Lucius eventually finds his way into a relationship, whether with Hermione and Severus or otherwise. :)

Truthfully, I had no choice but to "stick" with you throughout the story. It was one that gripped you and didn't let go. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and for finishing it for us.

*squee* I'm so glad everyone is happy in the end. And they are rewarded by a baby. That's good as they really deserve it after all they went through. nI just wish she didn't have to lose seven before little Octavia. Anyway, I'd like to thank you for an original story that I've enjoyed immensely. *bow*

So, all's well that ends well. I had to laugh at Kingsley's reaction to Lucius saving the day. I also snicker everytime I consider Lucius' new role as the defacto 'Patriarch of Modern Wizarding Society' and social moral compass. *giggles*Severus and Hermione bother me a bit, but only because they are a typical, self-centered couple that is madly in love with one another, to the exclusion of all else. Harry, Ginny and Draco did a better job of coming to terms with the whole politically engendered situation. It really shouldn't have taken Narcissa expressing her last wishes to get these two to have done better by Lucius, but there you have it. I do get the trust issue, but until they were called out, they hadn't even bothered to consider the man's natural needs as a fellow human being.Thank you for writing such a fabulous, thought-provoking tale. I've been following from the first post and although I'm glad to have the finished product, I'm also sorry that it's all over with.Overall rating: 10++++

Aaah, a nice happy end for this extraordinary story that started off so dark and cruel. Thanks Ayerf!!

Such a wonderful story, I hate to see it end. Very nicely done. May your plot bunnies be fruitful LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT STORY TOO! JIM

Quite a wild ride, indeed! I'm so glad that they could finally birth a baby of their own.This story had me on pins and needles, hear pounding, the edge of my seat, several times. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Great ending!  I just hope Lucius gets his happy ending, he deserves it!  

I don't think Severus would have failed had he had enough time to properly think straight - but in this case, I think Lucius did the best that he could under the circumstances.  Go Lucius!!!

Yay! Great ending

YES!!!!  I am soooo glad they found the cause.  What a relief.  What a great chapter!!!!

*WHEW*!!!*gaspwheeze*

yay!! happy ending!

Great chapter!  Wonderful twists and turns.  It was very exciting and I enjoyed it very much (can't you tell?).  Thanks for a delightful story all around.  I look forward to the epilogue.  JoAnne

What a heart-pounding chapter. I was on the edge of my seat. So great that Lucius and Narcissa were the ones that saved the day. I like to think that they may be greedy and materialistic, but not evil.Great job. I can hardly wait for the last bit.

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!  Fabulous use of time travel, and of course Lucius would have the sole remaining Time-Turner.  Narcissa was wonderful in her keeping Hermione from the books, and I think Hermione might be kinder to Lucius for Cissa's sake.  I am glad Severus will confront Lucius about the shelf of SSHG memories.  Still not sure how you will give Lucius a happy ending, but at least he will have grandkids.  No idea if you will let the threesome marriages continue now that the curse is ended and overseas bride-witches can safely move to England without fear of dying. Thanks for the fantastic chapter!!

I nearly had a hard attack when she opened her eyes to the book. It was close. Also I will say *evil grin* for the last sentence. I'm so happy she's alive and that all witches are healed too. My only wish is for them to be blessed by a child now. And maybe a satisfying threesome sex life ... *hopefull eyes*

Academics are the bane of human existence at times. One would have thought that Mysteries folk would know better than to keep Tom's body in tact. It should have been burned, the ashes doused with holy water, and mixed with salt and iron shavings, and then exposed to Fiendfyre. Yeah, I know - overkill, but look who they were dealing with.I'm glad that you let Lucius save the day. He deserved to get a bit of his own back.I look forward to the upcoming discussion.

Is the Epilogue going to wrap up when Lucius wrote the letter to himself?Oh, thank you for not letting Severus miss Lucius' special shelf!  I hope you have a scene from that discussion in the Epilogue.Looking forward to seeing how the Epilogue plays out!

Oops. He saw the shelf! :)

oh dear god please please please update this soon!!!!!!! So so so good!!
