I was trying to savor this and read slowly enough that you\'d always be ahead of me, but alas! I couldn\'t help myself. It\'s just too good, dammit. At least I know you won\'t leave us hanging. I\'m thankful (and awed) that you can write so fast AND so well, since the two are generally mutually exclusive in fanfic land.

Now that I\'m caught up: This is a great tale. You\'re carefully avoiding the sequel-for-sequel\'s sake pitfall -- I\'m having a hard time deciding whether I like this or Sub Rosa better. Great continued character development all around (Minuet and Harry are so cute together), with a bunch of \"oh wow\" plot developments. (Snape has recessive dragon genes -- hmm, maybe that explains the temper?)

The Dark ones are chilling, scarier even than Voldemort. I\'m glad you\'re holding out the possibility of redemption for Miss Mangle, though, since she was far too young (and scarred) to understand what she was getting into. I suppose she hasethiething in common with the potions master ... guess that explains the connection between them.

Thanks for sharing your imagination with us all.

Good to see that the kids are going to do something and most likely get into trouble.

Looks like Minuet is being the quiet voice of reason. Hopefully Ron is just being a bastard, since the alternative is \'a-bastard-controlled-by-Dark-Ones\'. Loverly update!

I am trying to understand the motivations of Miss Mangle. A conflicted demon is something difficult for my little brain to wrap itself around. She is a very facinating character though.
Thanks for the clarification about Draco. Didn\'t realize he was that much the smitten kitten. It has been so MANY years since I have seen LadyHawk. Maybe I should rent it again.
Thanks.

You know I was checking your profile every ten minutes to see if the 37 had turned to a 38.
Baked a cake and did all sorts of things. Not being ill and having nothing to do islly lly boring...
Ooo...
That was very interesting. And we know how Brinna became a demon too, well not exactly, but you\'ve given the clues. So what about him? Was he always a demon or will we get another story...?

Heh.
Very very good persuasion methods.
I\'m thinking of joining the movement to get a badge with E Pluribus Unum on it...

Another excellent chapter!
Thanks for the lemons.

The pureblood dance that you came up with, the Hevaida, was interesting. When I was reading that section, I imagined the dance to be like the Hawaiian hula. All grace and hand movements.

A few chapters back you had mentioned that Draco \"liked\" Hermione. I need a little clarification please. As a friend, a girl, girlfriend, human being, what?? I know that he is betrothed to Lilith, but is there something else?

Awww that was so sweet.

Min\'s a little conniver isn\'t she.
