OMG!!!!!! Ok, so I think I have this down, long review here i come! :)

"The girls would initiate it at times, knowing that it was a way to ask for reassurance without actually having to ask, and Ashleigh and Danny always complied, as well as Harry, when he was around." This is brilliant! In all my years of working around children, they need a lot of reassurance about many things and I have to say you have captured this brilliantly. I used to babysit two girls, the younger one would simply wake up in the night and see if everyone was still around in the house and waddle back to bed. All she wanted was assurance. Its so incredible how fragile children are and knowing this I swear I want to be a good parent. After taking Adolescent Psychology I got answers to a lot of things from my own childhood. Made me wonder if I just lacked perception or if we all act that way.

Draco rebuffing the "help" from martin - haha Since I am not as familiar with Martin, please do explain a little more of his character traits, and you can do it in a personal email if you want. I like our little banter back and forth :)

So at least the twins, Ashleigh, Danny, Vivian, Martin, Draco and dear Parker are all safe at present (as we know nothing about whereabout of Pansy and Narcissa)...Vivian and the twins are going back to headquarter, and they may even meet Auntie Hermione! After that, they would just be safe, as sneaking inside a FBI headquarter without magic is rather difficult...hoping Harry and Hermione can calm them. But after that, who will be looking after them? Ashleight and Danny are unavailable, Elena and Sam stations in the airport and all stations, Jack is at a loss......that's why I hate Ginny for this - a mother should never leave her children unattended! But if she is present and caring, maybe I would feel more unhappy...

Good to see that old taunting Draco is back, but sad to find out little Parker is frightened and hurt...still we don't know whether Parker remembered anything or not, maybe after the talk with Aofie, we will know more. But a detail discussion between Harry and Martin is necessary - as Martin know nothing about the danger that he is facing.

But what's more, I am really looking forward to Snape's appearance...

Thanks for the email! You Rock! I was like a kid in a candy store! I haven't figured it out yet, but I will... I've been busy.

Another amazing chapter! My heart lept into my throat when I thought Pansy and Narcissa had Harry's daughters, and again when I thought they might get to Parker and Draco. Such a relief to find out they are all safe for the moment...

Can't wait for the next update. I SO love this fic!

I don't blame Draco for being so protective with his son, when he knows that both his mother and wife can do just about anything with magic, poor Martin doesn't know that, so I don't blame him for his thought's regarding Draco's behavior. Please update as soon as you can. ^_~

OMG! This story is getting more and more intense by the update's. Nice way of making both Pansy and Narcissa escape ;) Though I do feel bad for the guy. Poor Harry he's in an emotional roller coaster. God! I hope they don't try to go after Draco and his son Parker. Ashleigh didn't deserve to be under the Cruciatus. But what can you expect for two psycho bitch? Happy to see Hermione there, though I hope she doesn't start trouble between Harry and Draco. (Like trying to split them apart or something). Hope to see and update soon. :D

YAY! Yes this was a long chapter and DAMN that is insane how you worked their escape in. Damn Narcissa and Pansy for using Cruciatus against Ashleigh. That is no wrong! There is no reason for that! Some people never learn that isn't the way to get what you want...I might have to re-read tis chap though because my dorky butt didn't catch who was missing outside of Narcissa and Pansy...hrm...I mean I thought I saw that the girls were ok...maybe I was wrong... :/ I am glad Hermione is there to help though. He needs it and I am kinda excitied about the new magical additions to the story. I mean granted, I don't usually write a lot into my stories but hey I like reading it. Oh well...take care! I loved it as usual!

Sooo need chapter 25! Glad Hermione and her "contacts" took care of HJ's blunders. They almost got Lily. Why not Molly as well? Poor Ashleigh! Thank goodness Draco and Parker are safe!

Great chapter...I'm so excited to have Hermione there, and Cissa and Pansy on the loose is a good twist...I'm still waiting for Harry to tell Jack about his magic - I mean, can you imagine Jack's face after that kind of announcment? LOL...I think after he had a bit of time to think about it, Jack wouldn't mind someone as gifted as Harry around...Just one note from early in the story, "and by one of his own agents thirty years his senior, no less!" Harry is his junior...Can't wait for the next chapter, and more Harry/Draco happiness...

Okay, my question about lab report is - would this be the one for matching Parker's blood on the pant with Draco's (failed because of the chase) previously intended, but now I knew the answer - as you kindly pointed out. Since you have mentioned the rape kit analysis, so when you first mentioned about the lab report, I am just wondering would that report be the rape kit or others...

As you promised nothing dangerous would happen to Draco and Parker, so this time it turned to the twins, still I am worried about them (same for Harry) - as Harry cannot make the move, and both witches are missing and being very dangerous, better to send Mione over to protect them. Martin and other FBI agents cannot help, as guns are no match for magic...would this be able to arrange? Sure Jack will have no argument (as he has no connection with Mione and he knew nothing about their rival past), so with Harry's explanation to Martin that Mione being their old school friend and worried about Draco and cute little Parker - this can be fixed...for Draco, I understand he knew the threat once the information about Pansy and Narcissa are missing; while for Mione, she will understand...

For Jack, even all traces of magic are removed, muggles cannot feel anything funny, and the tapes are cleared by that mysterious helper...Jack's logical sense will know something - this only means another long explanation either from Harry / Mione or step in help from Ministry of America. Probably he will question once more with that poor guard, and Martin about the exact time of putting them in (same as Harry). However, with the lab analysis of exact time of when was Pete being killed, that would not match the explanation by that poor guard...what kind of reason/guess can Jack form?

Sure before putting both witches in, they would search their bodies for any dangerous items, with none being found - that would remain mysterious - but this would foster Harry's argument of how dangerous of that cult followers can be...hoping Jack can trust Harry and Mione more from now on...if Jack ever demand explanation from Harry of how - I have not thought of any possible logical reason yet.

For Sam and Elena - once they found out how Pete was dead, they must give a big thank to Harry...though again logical reason is needed...but I highly doubt would Pansy and Narcissa will leave through plane. Given the stupidness of Pansy but cunning nature of Narcissa...I don't know...please tell us soon!

If Pansy and Narcissa is on the loose, and assum they are not going over to the hospital, but running from Central Park - their next move probably trying to get back to the hotel (as hotel staff may not know they are in custody - sure Narcissa will hide and Pansy will get necessary stuff back) / Narcissa's original hiding place...OR...Pansy will definitely try to make contact with Blaise, then he or even Snape will come over - by illegal means of flooing (international floo network??) or portkey (can this make it on time? Or this is the way how Narcissa get over to USA?)...then we can kill them with one stone!!!

Though I still doubt whether Snape will be in the act or not (I am sure Blaise will come over), but let see...

BTW, how will Harry explain that to Molly and Lily? Especially Lily? I believe some time later more discussio on magic is necessary...for Ash, give my sorry to her, and she will be a great mother, Danny probably needs to make a quick proposition...

You give us a long story, I try my best to give my longest review...XD
