Oh yikes, Having the plaue back is horrible. Poor, Ginny - all of them. On the lighter side, I liked the boys thinking they had to mother Ginny. Clueless as ever when it comes to female stuff.

Slughorn's such an ass.  You did a great job with that chapter. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, but thankful that you had her for so many years.Thanks for the new chapter!  Good to see Hermione on the warpath and with an excellent lead.  Damn that Horace!  BTW, as mad as I get at Lucius with his "monitoring" of Severus and Hermione's bedroom activities, you still made me feel sorry for him here -- when he had trouble casting a Patronus and got weepy over the picture of pregnant Narcissa.  Thanks again for updating!

This is becoming really tragic. I do hope that they will find a way to cure definitively every women. And I hope the Ministry won't play the fool and ask them to get pregnant again before it's done.

Good God, poor Severus... just leave it to the Prophet's ish-stirring ways to incite the public to attack the one man capable of saving so many lives, all so they can sell more of their useless rag.

*Shakes head in disgust*

PS: I'm so sorry to hear of your recent loss. God bless you and yours.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and good luck in school.  You have a hard row ahead of you so make sure you take care of yourself.

The description of Horace was wonderful! :)

Great chapter!

*hugs you*Thank you for updating despite all of the RL hurdles.You really are making this suspenseful. Every society needs a scapegoat and poor Severus seems to be the IT man. The dunderheads at the Prophet seem to have forgotten thtat if Severus is eliminated, there won't be anyone to find a permanent cure. Then, you've got Hermione headed to the MoM when there is possibly a mob on the way. Yikes.

I'm so sorry about your loss.  It gets better with time.  I wish you all the best with your college classes.  My daughter is in college, too.    Thanks for an interesting tale.  I'll be patiently waiting.Goodness, your Slughorn is a bit sleezy. (no surprize there) I am glad Pomona has a nice husband as well!

Nice to give us a lighter note, just at the end, after all the death and destruction.   A very good chapter.  I was wondering if they could rebuild Wizarding society with muggle wives, but that idea is obviously not going to fly.    Normally I don't lke Lucius tales, but this one is holding my interest, even after the challenge is over.

My condolences on the loss of your grandfather. No matter what the circumstances, the loss always leaves a hole that's hard to fill.Great Chapter. Glad to see Hermione has enough strength to go after Slughorn. But so much danger lies ahead for all involved. Things are really heating up. I anxiously await your next installment.

lol peacock patronus ~snickers and eats her chocolate and hugs poor draco~ ya know, if you can't have kids....have dogs!....or werewolves! what could be more fun than adopting a werewolf kid and cuddling a cute little fuzzy chap like Wolfie from 10th kingdom!rawr!great chapter as usual darlin!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.  *hugs*Keep up the good work.  I'll be looking forward to the next chapter regardless of when it comes.

I just started reading this fic and I am glad to hear you haven't abandoned it. I am really getting into the story and look forward to seeing what will happen next. Keep plugging away, it will be great, I can tell!!

I've been avoiding your story for awhile now, but I am glad that I gave it a try. Severus was a bit more OOC than I usually prefer him, and I do wish that you had expanded upon how their friendship came to be. I really enjoyed your characterization of Lucius and your epilogue. You are a talented writer.

Oops. A bit of humour to lighten the tension.  :)

Oh, my god! How did I not see this was up already! Now I'm up to date, with an evil cliffie!! I don't know which was worse: not knowing you had updated, or reading a cliffie!

My jaw just dropped after reading this chapter. I'm not usually a fan of the Malfoy's, but this story has me sympathizing and almost pitying Lucius. I believe Snape and Hermione are perfect for each other, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more Lucius/Hermione action in upcoming chapters. I really liked their scene in chapter (10?). Time to read on...

I need the next chapter!!!

This is one of my top picks.  Thanks for writing it.  It makes a good reread.

Ruh roh, raggy...

OMG! How am I going to survive until next chapter? The suspense will kill me. As for Lucius even if Sev notices something I'm sure he'll be forgiven if-when-Hermione wakes up.

ARRGGHHH!!!!! What an evil cliff hanger!!!! How long do we have to wait for the answer????????by the way.... awesome

Muahaha!!!  Lucius is going to get a slamdown when Severus finds those memories, although I suspect Severus will delay the slamdown until he looks at Hermione's memory of what Cissa told her.  I do wonder how you're going to resolve things for Lucius rather than let him mope the rest of his life, not-quite-husband to Hermione but not alone either.  Poor Cissa; doesn't sound peaceful for her.  Thanks for updating!
