Chapter 17...Ahhh, teenagers! I spend a lot of time with them. I love them. But boredom is a LIFE & DEATH situation for them, isn\'t it?! I am a little jelous that Laurel has Vera Wang when I do not. And I am intrigued by the idea of a garter belt holster for one\'s wand. Certainly it is more likely more comfortable than slipping it down the cleavage! I sometimes wondered how the fasionably clad women would keep their wands on them if they were wearing an evening gown...

I am not 100% clear on this: Tad & Teeny are Muggles, ahem, I mean \"non-magical\"? So does Laurel have some Muggle background? I think I need to go reread the early chapters. It sounds like Laurel comes from a moneyed family, too, although not as hoity toity as TNT\'s family. Well, this certainly shows why Laurel would be orbiting in Draco\'s social circles. She WILL be orbiting in Draco\'s circle, right? Hmmm. I wish Draco existed in my little solar system...sigh.

I like that Laurel is not an attention-seeking drama queen, but is savvy about the social scene. She\'s not stuck up. I think Miss Laurel is growing on me!

*saunters off jauntily to read chapter 18 and savor the 3-fur goodness that Lorett kindly provided*

This is review 2 out of 3!!!

Loved this chapter! I know what you mean about hating people like T-N-T but secretly wanting to be them! I know a girl who\'s like that. She has absolutely everything!!! I wish I was her but she\'s also a bit stuck up so in a way I\'m glad I\'m not!!! Hee hee!

I\'m glad Lorel is back! I\'ve missed her! And now she gets to go and P-A-R-T-Y!!!!! I know whats coming up in the next chapter (I remembered when I started reading Chapter 16!) and I am sooooooo excited so I won\'t babble on with my excellent babbling skills, I\'ll go right along and read the next chapter!!!

Annie.

Hee hee! Twinkle Toes!!! Love it!!!

YAY! Stressed out, sexy Draco has emerged and I love him! He\'s so... *sigh* dreamy!!! I wish I had a real life Draco around me right now so I could lavish him with huggles and smooches!!! As for Harry and Ron you\'ve portrayed them really well! I can just see them bickering and not believing Draco when he\'s only trying to help them. I suppose Draco hasn\'t really made it easy for them to trust him since he\'s been so hostile towards them. But I undersatnd that Draco\'s reasons for doing that.

I\'m happy that my reviews make you happy!!! Because if you\'re happy then you write more of your story and I can get lost in the wonderfulness (is that even a word?) of it all more! That said, I hope you update soon because I sense a Draco/Laurel meeting and I\'m tres excited for it!!! *squeeee* *claps hands and jumps up and down in anticipation*

Huggles to you Lorett my lovely!!!
Annie.

P.S - Put me on your \'It Had to be you\' update list aswel and I\'ll give that a read too.

Oh my, oh my! How could I have missed out on reading a story like this? Yes, I finally had the right opportunity to sit down, and READ many of my friends (since I consider you one :D) stories that I have promised to read. I just stopped on Ch. 2 to let you know I will read and read and read and when something comes up, review. But hopefully by the end of today I will have read all chapters 1through18.

Oh, one more thing. Since I\'m on your update list for this story, please add me to the other one. :D Big ups to you girl. You\'ve done a great job so far. Now...I will go on and finish this little ficlet.

1 Luv

Oh my dear Lorett! I absolutely, positively LOVED chapter 18!!! I thought the banter/arguing between Harry, Ron & Draco was \"spot on\" (to quote our British friends) and amusing. When H & R entered and Draco was supprised that they cleaned up nice and looked good in their Muggle clothes, I was chuckling! I sensed a bit of \"Draco the clothes horse\" there. I mean, he must be a clothes horse, he\'s so vain and egotistical, right?

I like how Harry slowly picked up on the various clues that Draco was serious, starting with Draco calling him \"Harry\" and ending with Draco slamming his drink and signalling for another. And the \"Am I?\" ending cliffy!!!! Cliffies are like ultimate torture for me...I know I\'ve mentioned before that patience is not one of my virtues!

But my favorite line from this chapter is \"I\'ve never lied to you...I may not have told you things I know because, well, I\'m a prat...\" There\'s my Draco with his detached analysis of himself again! Recognizes he was a prat, but doesn\'t apologize for being one. And why should he? It\'s part of the charm that is Draco. I love the way you write Draco. Love, love, love it.

I definitely want more Harry-Draco interaction and witty repartee. I can\'t wait to see what happens next. Please don\'t torture me too long...

Thanks for spoiling me rotten with the 3-fur! Hugs and muchas smooches to ya, darling! And thanks for the heads up about \"It Had to Be You.\" I would be forever grateful if you would add my email address to your \"You\" update list. *sits and stares at email, eagerly anticipating a message from Lorett that \"You\" has been updated and a glorious link to the new chappie*

*gleefully claps her hands and dances enthusiastically around the room* A 3-fur! It\'s like Christmas, my birthday and winning the lottery all at once! ( OK, so my bank account didn\'t get any fatter, but my happiness account did!)

Well, chapter 16 certainly explained a few questions that were lurking in my mind after the last one. I really like the way you incorporated a scene from Rowling into your story. I love the line that Draco doesn\'t like Harry, but respects him. I hope that that respect eventually leads to perhaps a friendship (?) between the two. I really enjoy it when you take me into Draco\'s head. His handsome, snarky, witty, gorgeous head. Because that wonderful head is attached to his handsome, sexy, Slytherin-y body... whoops! There I go digressing again!

Loved this chappie. I\'m skipping off happily to read the second part of my 3-fur! (Did I mention you get an extra big hug for posting a 3-fur? And a big smooch *mwah* too!)

Hi, lady.
I loved your explanation on Draco\'s reasons to save Potter. Harry can indeed defeat Voldemort. However, I\'m not convinced about that scene in the QWC. It seems to me a little forced. But then again, como siempre, confiar

I loved this chapter precisely for being so light. It also feels so real and I can\'t really tell why. I mean, they\'re a magic family. Witches and wizards. However, no real displays of magic happen at their home. Perhaps it is because they\'re new characters and we lack of all the background about them. Anyways, I loved the part when Maggie is so upset at John for coming home with a surprise before telling her. Soo real.
The very last line, however, I\'m not sure I like it. It is a good line, I just don\'t know if it fits in this chapter. It as all soo light and suddenly.... very dark, powerful line. I think maybe you should have taken one more paragraph to tone down the mood and then... great line. But as always, it\'s just my opinion.
Finalmente, creo que hay varios errores al usar \"too\", en algunas ocasiones debiera ser \"to\". Am I right?
See ya.

Please, email me when you update.
Chapter 15.
I\'m so sorry Narcissa has not told Draco about her decision. She could die and he would regret being so cold to her.
And am I glad Harry has stepped into scene.
This should get exciting.
