"This story is completed." Squee! Congrats!
Sea Isle Witch, you’ve outdone yourself on so many levels! I’m so happy that Narcissa understands and accepts what’s happened between Draco and Pansy, and that they now have her on their side. I’ve been quite worried about what might happen to poor Draco in his incapacitated state, but with these two witches on his side, I’m quite certain that things will turn out the way that they should. I anxiously await Part III.
clap clap clap clap this was wonderful! :) i really hope to read you again soon. Greets SW

Such a powerful chapter, Sea Isle Witch! I've been waiting with baited breath for it!so I'll just stand here and die inside like a respectable Malfoy. Sob! This sums up so much of the way that I think you view the Malfoys, really! That they are strong and have convictions, but that they will also act in a manner suitable to their standing, if they must.Such an evil cliffhanger this is. I look forward to seeing what happens next!

You've done a great job of creatively describing all the preparations she must make to elope--and I do hope they manage to elope! I'm quite curious to hear about how Draco's night goes, as well as how he'll manage to untangle himself from the arranged marriage. Pansy thinks well on her feet; I'm sure they'll do just fine once they are on their own! Most excellent! Looking forward to the final chapter and the next story!

Love, Shewitch
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Shewitch. I'm happy you are still reading! - SIW
Reader's Response: o course i am still reading, i hope that when you finish this story, it will come out to be at least a trilogy... :) you have a real gift for writing.
Greets, shewitch
Author's Response: Hi! There is only one or two more chapters in part II (However Far Away), and then we will move forward in time in Part III. It is definitely going to be a trilogy. Thanks again for your interest! - SIW

This is a stunning chapter! The scenes where Pansy and Draco are at her estate are so beautiful, yet poignant because we know their bliss won't last! I'm on pins and needles over what Snape's plan might be, but I trust him, and I know that he'll get Draco out of this mess. I am dying to see how evil Bunny reacts!
Author's Response: Hi, redvelvetcanopy! Yes, Pansy and Draco's bliss is short lived. *sniff* The next chapter is in the queue. Thanks for reading! – SIW

Thanks for updating, there are people who are waiting for the next chapter with anticipation, :)) I am one of them!, Love, shewitch.
Author's Response: Hi, shewitch. I'm happy to hear you stayed up to read it! Thanks for letting me know that you're interested in the outcome of the story. Chapter 19 is in the queue. – SIW

Humpf! Rather cruel cliffhanger there, Sea! I am wondering if the anti-flying charms might have detected Draco after all, or maybe it's Bunny storming the manor for some anti-rash cream. Hmm... At any rate, I am so very relieved that Pansy isn't pregnant. I'm most anxious to see what plans Snape is formulating and so very much looking forward to the next part of your Trilogy! ~RVC
Author's Response: Hi, RVC. Bunny had better not tangle with the Sorceress of Slytherin! Yes, it's good that there are no little Malfoys on the way at this time. Imagine bringing a child into their situation. She'd have to go into hiding. Thanks for reading and commenting! –SIW
Hey!!! your story is wonderful! please keep writing, i am just dieing to see the sequel... bye
Wonderful! I'm glad that Draco and Pansy patched everything up. I was worried about how upset Pansy was at Draco for using an unforgivable on Kevin. Bunny is awful but she fits perfect into the storyline. I'm also very relieved that Pansy isn't pregnant. They are both so young and need time to be a couple first. Now, you left me wondering about the attack. Hopefully we won't be left in suspense for much longer.
Author's Response: Hi, Quidditch3! I was worried about them as well! Draco did cross the line, but luckily smoothed it out in the end. Could you imagine bringing a child into this mess? No way! I'm tweaking the next chapter. Thanks for reading and I'm happy you are still iterested. :) -SIW
Great chapter! Poor Draco, he let his emotions get the better of him. I can't blame him, jealousy does crazy things to people. I do like Kevin but not for Pansy. He does sound like a nice guy. I hope he continues to be supportive to both of them in the future. Pansy caught in the middle and now in doubt about her condition.
Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for the great comments; I appreciate them. Yes, Draco did go a bit crazy there, but he did see the consequences of his actions. The next chapter is posted, and I hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for reading! - SIW
ahh, there is no story that ever made me cry. But this one touched me, I always thought of Pansy to be a horrid person but you've changed that point of view. I can't wait for a new chapter! I hope the child is okay..
Author's Response: Hi, LovetheLife. Wow, thanks for such an honest comment. Pansy is portrayed through Harry's eyes in the books. She's on Draco's side, so Harry thinks she's a nasty witch. I'm just showing the other side of Slytherin. She's still a pure-blood snob and will hex anyone who gets in her way, but she also knows how to love. The next chapter is posted. Sorry it took so long. I went to Lumos, and I have several stories going. - SIW
oooooooooooo!! this chapter was intense. i wanted to cry!!! please - more!!
Author's Response: Intense is exactly what I was going for with that exchange. They all lost, didn't they? The next chapter is now posted, and I hope you'll find time to read what happens next. Thanks for reading. :) - SIW
Bunny and her mother are highly annoying! I can see why Draco must carry on with the act, but good grief, I can't see how he stands it. I don't think Narcissa is overjoyed with the act either! I really don't know how you've managed to do it, but I am rooting for both Draco and Kevin here. Kevin's intentions are honorable--he wants to help and protect Pansy, and I do think he feel something for her besides liking her for her bloodline. And Draco is so tortured and brave and strong! I don't blame him for doing what he did, but I do see why it vexes Pansy so. I am so curious as to what Draco's next step will be. I only hope you let us know before Lumos!
Author's Response: Thanks, RVC, for the insightful comments. I agree, Kevin's motives are honorable, but Draco's are too. Draco's methods are extreme, but he loves his witch. He sees Kevin as a real threat. Thanks for reading! - SIW
I have really enjoyed this story. Hope you post again soon. I love the Draco character being sweet and vulnerable.
Author's Response: Hi, Prance! Thanks for letting me know you're reading and enjoying it. Draco is sweet and vulnerable to Pansy because he loves her and doesn't want to lose her faith in him. He realises a good thing when he sees it. :) The next chapter shows Draco's interactions with a few other people. I've just submitted the next chapter, and it's a long one. - SIW
Quote:"I said that she was a former student of mine and that you never showed any interest in her that I saw."
Draco nodded and continued to the manor, relieved. He was sure Snape knew something closer to the truth, but had chosen not to tell Bellatrix.
Of course he knew something closer to the truth, lol! He caught them in the treehouse together!
Great chapter! I certainly hope Pansy's not pregnant.
Author's Response: Well, Draco has given the impression that he and Pansy are no longer an item, but you're right--Snape knows. lol You are all caught up now! Thank you so much for reading and leaving all those wonderful comments. - SIW
Oh, no! I hate that Pansy has to go through this again. I got so mad at Draco when he was angry with Pansy about Entwhistle, but I think you had the characterization down perfectly.
I can't believe that they forgot about the charm! I hope it's a false alarm and that they don't get into even more trouble. It would be terrible if Draco died and Pansy turned out to be pregnant with their love child so she has to marry Entwhistle before anyone finds out. Oh, dear.
Anyway, I hope we get to see what the deal is this time. Why Draco's being summoned, I mean. And I wonder who's coming for dinner. I hope it's not Entwhistle, but I have a feeling it is.
I hope Snape and Draco's plan works! And soon too!
Great writing, and great story!
Author's Response: Draco ticked me off too! He loves her, but he's still a bit immature when dealing with such strong emotions. Good thing he came to his senses! Thanks so much for your comments, they mean a lot to me. - SIW
Oh! This was a great chapter as well! I felt horrible for Pansy when she had to go through those tunnels all by herself, but you described it wonderfull! Her panic attack was very intense, and I could almost feel it myself, lol.
I'm very glad they have a way to communicate now with the Protean Charm. I wanted to punch Kevin Entwhistle. Ugh. I know that he doesn't know that she's betrothed to Draco, but still. She doesn't want him. Not that she's exactly showing that to Kevin; letting him sit at her table wasn't a good move! I understand she's lonely, but still.
I like the comment to the Slytherin girl, lol. The one about snogging her wizard while she still could--that was great!
Pansy is a smart witch. She got Draco's trunk back for him! And yay for Draco coming to her at her home! It's going to be sad, though, when/if he tells her about the Massacre at St. Mungo's.
Great work!
Author's Response: IEG, I'm so happy you are enjoying the story. Poor Pansy! She's a strong witch, but there's only so much she can take. At least Kevin didn't try to take advantage of the situation. That would have sent Pansy further into her despair. She needs a friend right now, and he's the only one who seems to care. (Millicent does care, but she doesn't know how to express it properly, and she's wrapped up with Wayne at the moment.) Thanks for reading! - SIW
Wow! This is my favorite chapter so far. I loved the action. You write it very well, I think. I think you described Voldemort perfectly, and it was cool for Draco to have such an important part in the mission, although I was terrified for him and for Snape the whole time. Fabulous job! Kudos!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you, IEG! Voldemort runs a very organised and secretive operation. He knows how to use his followers to his fullest advantage. Draco is smart and good at stealth, so Voldemort used him in a key role. Your review really made my day! - SIW
Oh, no! What a horrible time for Voldemort to summon Draco! I think, however, that you had his reaction down PERFECTLY. It had the right amount of distress and fear, and he was quick to get ready so the Dark Lord wouldn't hurt him for being late or whatever. I hope we get to see the interaction with Voldemort!
Great work!
Author's Response: It had to happen, and the reality has sunken in further. He's a slave, basically, to evil. You'll see in the next chapter why he was called. Thanks for you nice comments, IEG! - SIW
I'm sorry for not reveiwing each chapter. I think you do a wonderful job in keeping Draco in cannon. I enjoy reading their time spent together. It is sweet and so Slytherin.
Author's Response: Hi, Quidditch 3! I'm happy to hear you think I'm keeping Draco in character. So Slytherin--that's what I'm aiming for. :) Thank you for your sweet review! - SIW
