That was soooo funny! "Poncey and addled is no way to go through life, Malfoy." and "DRINKS ARE ON HARRY POTTER!" were my favorite lines. Also loved Snape scaring a sneeze away, as well as Draco's internal monologue during the ceremony. Next chapter should be quite a party!

Whew! Thank goodness the baby came out all right! Figures Snape would know how to deliver a baby. I loved Draco's thoughts and comments on the whole process. I see there's another chapter, so it's off to the next for me...
Author's Response: Thank you so much winna! Draco was semi-useless during the birth, but at least he didn't faint or throw up, LOL. I appreciate you taking the time to review and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Thank you for the new chapter. It was very funny especially the part where Draco says "lets party" and the rest til the end of this chapter. Thank you for letting me know about the update. I appreciated. I'm sure you've noticed hubby is up to date now. I wish you could have heard him laughing. hubby is trying to educate me about rabies... so i have to go an listen to him go on about it... hey what did you think of my brother in law's nick name... lol my goodness my husband needs some rest he's is talking on an on about his mom who's a hyperchrondriac (sp?)... lol he just won't stop talking... lol he's like the energizer bunny he just keeps going. LOL.. snort lol
Author's Response: There are worse things than having an energetic husband (*wink wink*), but he's going to have to stop talking about rabies if he wants to get you in the mood, LOL. Seriously, thank you so much for your comments and I can always depend on you and Bill to make me smile. Like I told the hubby: I'm working on the new chapter and it should be out soon. Hopefully.
Author's Response: And hey, I forgot to tell you about my plans for Roach (I LOVE his name, by the way). Please see my response to Bill's review for further clarification.

Hello ,I am so sorry I didnt review until now. But I fell behind and wanted to catch up before a small pause to tell you how great this story is. And that Pickles just wants me to work around the clock so she can read your updates first. Just let me say that I cant give a proper review do to the laughing that you have caused me. Dont take that as a bad think as it is not my intention. It is a very good thing. I cant wait to see how Draco Harry and Snape take the news that the boys are related and Draco is not a malfoy. Also how is Draco going to marry Genny. Hope to find out soon . Until me meet here again .Bill
Author's Response: You and Pickles are so damned cute! I can tell by your reviews that you are a couple of crazy kids, lol. I told Pickles that I was going to name a house-elf after Roach and I mean it . . . I have the greatest idea in mind for him! Anyway, I'm working on the latest chapter and I hope to finish it soon. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to read and review my story.

Woot! You rock man, 'deed you do.
A very lovingly researched chapter and I for one, am very glad for it.
I can't even begin to imagine how you're balancing your time and all that. Then again, I'm totally hopeless at the 'time-management' thing. Never really grasped the concept, methinks. *scratches head*
Author's Response: Yup, I'm finding it harder and harder to find the time to write these chapters. Plus the fact that I'm picky makes it even harder. But I'm still plugging away on the next chapter! Thank you so much for writing and stay tuned.

Novinha strikes again,
Another much entertaining chapter - sorry I'm reading so slowly, but I'm having such an entertaining days here now... I've been to two rock concerts this week, both for free :) Thanks to a huge journal who cooperates with a local library and my tiny twon has some of them most important bands in Poland play here :) I am still on an endorphine high.
I already like Eldorf. And Snape and Hermione are entertaining as ever. Still, my favourite part was the HP/DM joke part. I actually ship the two in my spare time :) When I can't find a good HG/SS, HP/SS, OFC/SS or DM/RW :)
I willmake my slow way through this story. Greetings from Poland,
Novinha
Author's Response: Well, it sounds like you're having fun at least, so that's good news. Thank you very much for the review. I know that HP/DM is a very popular ship, which I understand, given the tension between them (wink). In this story, anyway, I'm just using comedy, instead of sex, LOL.
[Report This]Date: 06/10/2005 05:11 am Title: Chapter 12: King
Wonderful as ever. I particularly like all the references to Celtic kingship - the standing on the shield, presentation to the people. At least you didn't have him having sex with a white mare! My first thought with the incipient sneeze was that Snape had done it deliberately, but even he wouldn't disrupt such a ceremony. Who caught the crown as Draco ran for the party? (which made me think of Nero or Caligula more than anything - I hope it's not an omen).
I love the way the relationship with Harry and Draco is developing, and I feel Draco will regard Potter slightly differently now he knows he was nearly a Slytherin. But please, aquarmarine satin with silver stitching - no, no, no! Someone bash Stefan. Draco is at his utter best in black. Black, with elaborate black-on-black encrusted embroidery, occasional touches of silver knotwork, shining black satin, dense black velvet, ornate black damask, shining black silk, finished with a touch of fine white linen at neck and wrists. Sort of like Hamlet Prince of Denmark to the nth degree. Can you tell I've got rather a clear mental image here?...
I am also enjoying your header poems, which are startlingly aposite. There's one poem I'm waiting for, from the same source as an earlier one, that I think may turn up for a later chapter. But what do I know... I just hope you're enjoying writing this as much as I am reading it.
Author's Response: Hehehe . . . I KNEW the aquamarine would stir a debate, LOL. Remember, his mirror wanted him to "do something different, to make a splash" . . . I agree that Draco is at his best in black (although that's also Snape's signature colour and well, SOMEBODY needs to be in something other than black, LOL). So I thought long and hard before putting him in such a poncy colour. Come on . . . can't you see it? He's in aquamarine, with his white blonde hair . . . Ginny will be in the complementary colour of . . . oops, you'll have to read to find out (wink) Thank you so much for the review.

A very enjoyable chapter! I particularly like Draco's inner monologue during the Dragon ride and Snape's reaction at the end!
~Lisa
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Lisa. I'd also like to thank you for being someone who has reinforced the concept of the comma, when writing a story, . . I was comma-challenged before you came along, LOL. With regard to Snape's reaction: One of the things I wanted to do was to juxtapose Draco's personality with that of Snape's. (You couldn't get two more opposite characters). Severus HAS to put up with his silliness because he's family, and Draco knowingly takes total advantage of that . . . we all have dotty relatives that can be quite embarrassing, don't we? Thanks again.

Very hilarious and excellent. I loved Draco's thought progression. "LET'S PARTY!" I think those would be my first words too. Great grace on writing the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks . . . I just couldn't have Draco saying anything too serious right after he'd been crowned. He's likely want to drink and eat and dance and have sex (all of which he'll probably do before the night of his coronation is over, LOL). Thanks for reviewing, I appreciate it so much.

I was working on my own story when I decided I needed a break. I was very happy to see that you had updated. This chapter was just as great as the others. It it so much fun to read Draco's snarky thoughts, because I just know I would be thinking along the same lines.
I must say I am envious of your talent, I'm rubbish as humor. I have Drama down fairly well, but humor seems to evade me. Great job on another chapter, and don't worry about taking a few weeks to update. I will be sad but I completely understand about tight schedules. I too have a son, family and job. Not that I'm not excited to see what is going to happen next!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! My new motto is "Humor is Hard", LOL. I'm trying to keep it funny, as well as trying to keep the plot moving, which ain't easy, let me tell ya . . . but I'm hanging in there. Hopefully the new chapter will be ready in a week to two weeks. Thanks.

Thank you for an exciting chapter Adriana... I love Snape's entrance into the birthing chamber. "Remove yourself from between my wife's legs, if you wish to see your next birthday."
Draco can be quite loveable in this story... Especially when he "sucks it up" to help Mione..
He wants a family with Ginny and Weasley's way of procreation. Great chapter. Will have to tell hubby story has been updated.. he will be thrilled.
Author's Response: I appreciate your comments! I had fun writing it. I look forward to hopefully hearing what Bill thinks.

I just wanted to tell you that I read your story Shattered first, because you said that this story was a continuence of it. I really liked shattered, very good and keeps your attention, but I have to say that this story is just excellent and hillarious. I have not stopped laughing through the whole thing, even thought the epilogue chapter of shattered haunts my thoughts (I'm a big Ginny/Draco shipper). I have literally been wiping tears of laughter as I read. My sides hurt! Can't wait to see what happens next. I just hope Draco can work it out with Gin, there is no way on earth Blaise /male or female ;) could make him happy. Really excited to see what else you come up, update quickly please.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks! I'm so happy that I made you laugh and there will be many twists and turns in this tale. I've submitted the latest chapter so it should be up pretty soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me what you think.

You certainly do have a way with words. Absolutely hilarious. I also like how research and effort you have obviously put into your writing. I'll be awaiting more, but for now, I'm going to have to go read "Shattered".
Author's Response: Oh goody! I hope you like Shattered! This story is very different, you'll find. Shattered is more angsty and this is just plain silly, hehehe. Thanks for the review and I'm gratified that you've recognized the work that goes into some of these chapters.

Yes, yes, YES! A lovely chapter, and no cliffhanger (apart from wondering what the dastardly Zabini is planning). And who'd have thunk that house elves are oviparous! And poor Draco has a long way to go.... But thank you for the lovely image of Hermione, Severus and Arddun.
Author's Response: You know, I tried to find out how house-elves procreate, but could find nothing in any of the sources I checked. So why not have them hatch from eggs? That seems as good a way as any, LOL. And ah, yes . . . Zabini. He has a dastardly plan, heh. Thanks for the review and stay tuned!

Man. Every chapter I read I wanna crown 'My Favourite Chapter'. So in the long line of favourites, this has to be THE one.
I love how Snape came in at the nick of time and how Draco was so idiotically funny and mostly, how perfectly you captured his longing.
MUCH fun, reading this. I can hardly wait for more!

Snape will flip when he realizes he's not there for the big delivery. Good thing the house elves are still around.
I once had a house elf but he did absolutely nothing but keep the couch warm day and night... Oops sorry that was my brother in law. lol

Author's Response: distempered, I'm thinking that this next chapter is one of my best so far, in terms of fodder for humour . . . how can an author NOT be inspired at the thought of Draco Malfoy having to deliver Hermione Granger-Snape's baby?

I swear this gets more and more like an addictive soap with each chapter.
I'm all, "Woot there's an update! I wonder what happened to Cissy?"
And bam! I really was not expecting the Zambini angle. Makes much sense though. Blackmail, a beautiful woman, power. *shakes head* Oh the lives they lead!
Can't wait for the next installment of drama. Will Snape appear *chortles* magically? (Sorry. couldn't help it.)
Author's Response: I LOVE soaps, LOL. I'm thinking of calling this one "As the House-Elf Turns", (Parody of an American soap) hehe, You'll understand that title after the next chapter. It should be posted soon. Thanks for taking the time to review, I so appreciate it!

Loved the Draco/Ginny/Harry interaction! Harry is actually taking this much better than I thought he would. As for Sirius, *winna shakes her head sadly*. He really needs to work on his impulse control issues.
Author's Response: I always thought Sirius was emotionally stunted, given his unfortunate history in Azkaban. I thought maybe he needed something to change his life, doncha agree? Thanks for the review.
