One more comment (hehe)
So, if Hermione didn't know anything before (from Ginny and Draco), she certainly does now from Nalina. At least Nalina's version or as much as Nalina can tell her. Unless that's Nalina's long lost twin.
And um....where is Nalina's baby? Looks like Hermy isn't the only one deciding not to pack a newborn along to frigid Russia, huh? Or is it still dead?
Oh, girl! You have some questions to answer! Get back here right now!

You said you weren't going to answer my question. You mean this question:

Question about something from an earlier chapter:
"He never mentioned his one night mistake in that muggle club, thinking nothing more of it. And four weeks later his bride to be had announced that she was nearly two months pregnant. He could not have been happier."

Four weeks later she said she was two months pregnant, means that she was about a month pregnant already when he impregnated Hermione in the bar bathroom. In other words, she should have been a full month further along than Hermione. In other words, she should have given birth about a month before Hermione did. In other words, why was she STILL pregnant at her wedding when Hermione was 39+weeks pregnant? Did she lie about being pregnant and THEN get herself pregnant after they got back together? Does Severus not know how to count to 9? Perhaps someone should ask him to count back 40 weeks from Nalina's due date and then look at the calendar?


Oh yeah, I figure her (or her look alike) showing up in that cabin is (hopefully) going to shed some light on that subject. I'm beginning to think she was never really pregnant and it was a scam the whole time.

Eh?!

Pretty, little, dead Nalina ISN'T DEAD?!

WTF. WTF? WTF! Seriously?

Or that could have been Narcissa. LOL

geesh.

Those Malfoy's. Goodness, where is Lucius? That makes me think about SLJH's comment, "You screwed my wife and she got pregnant with your spawn, so I'm going to make it so you fall inlove with your own daugher, have sex with her and then I'm going to screw her and impregnate her with MY spawn." -- LMAO, omg that would be great. I would laugh. Well, I take it back, I AM already laughing at that idea. Highly amusing if it were real.

Speaking of which, OMG, if that was pretty, little, dead, un-dead Nalina, god I hope that makes Severus feel like crap! The bastard! ugh. Piece of crap, arrogant man! Grrrr. He deserves that, especially for treating Hermione like that, damn it! It takes TWO to make a baby. Sperm donor my ass. What a prick. -- Okay, I'm done ranting and raving about that now. *getting off her soap box for the bazillionth time*

Yes, I'm still reading, it's not so bad, after that chapter where Hemione ran off crying. All that stuff before, yeaaa, if the story continued like that, then I don't think I could have continued reading (dude, those chapters were more intense than Autum Argument -- eeeeek). That's the stuff I cannot deal with. Which is why I encouraged those warnings be revised. So I only hope you continue with all the mystery and secrets right now, and lay off on the emotional abuse and mental torture with extreme angst for awhile. *a wince and a cringe* That's a part of your web, I don't care to muddle through.

Okay, but I also just read some stuff on the pregnancy and I'm curious about that too. I think I asked you something about that. Can you clarify some baby questions? I'm seriously beginning to think pretty, little, dead, but un-dead Nalina wasn't pregnant (what a lying bitchy thing to do! -- argh, I STILL don't like her). And yea, if Nalina was 2 months pregnant, that means she's 1 month more pregnant than Hermione. Which again, why didn't she give birth before? eh? eh! eh?!

And what happened to Hermione's baby? Throw me a plot bone, plllleeeassee. Appease me, and tell me, little baby of Hermione and Sevvy is tucked away nice and safe with Uncle Harry! :o)

How are your assignments coming along? Spend some time on those! I feel ya, I have a part of my thesis due each week :o/ So I assume you share my mental exhaustion too. What are you studying, btw?

Oh and please update 'An Autum Argument'! :o)

Yeah, I was thinking that. ORRRRRR what if Nalina WAS Narcissa all along? I need to go back and re-read the whole thing again. I can't remember Narcissa being mentioned at the wedding...was she?
What if it was some fucked up plot against Severus that she and Lucius cooked up and she started feeling guilty and wanted out and.....nah.

But one thing is out there: If Nalina was two months preggers only one month after she and Sev got back together, then:
1) Her due date would have been a full month before Hermione, hence could not have still been pregnant at wedding, and
2) Got pregnant during their breakup, hence her baby (if there really was one) probably wasn't his

Yup, I really need to go back and re-read the whole thing. After I do my laundry and dishes and errands. ;)

Chapter 13-
I was sulking about having my trusty Nancy Drew magnifying glass wrenched from my grasp. Then I read the chapter. It's time for me to hang up the Junior Girl Detective title... (not giving up the stylish tweed trench or powder blue sportscar) It's obvious I'm just a hack detective. Nalina reappearing? Really? In backwaters podunk Russia? So maybe the doe-eyed silvery blond isn't Nalina, even though those are the descriptors you chose with her, but honestly, it fooled Severus. What else could have made him drop his wand? Sigh. I suppose I'm just going to have to sit back and watch, cuz obviously I'm not on the right frequency to have gotten it so terribly wrong. Damnit! And I always took high marks in Divination! Something must be blinding my inner-eye. Pollen season.

I haven't weighed in on the whole Nalina thing yet. I may be one of the few who hasn't. But I'm not opposed to OFC's, having written several Snape/OFC's before, so I guess I'm less clouded than the die-hard 'shippers. I don't think she's a skank-ho. I can accept that her love for him and his for her was real and a beautiful thing. If you can accept that HG/SS can have normal-happy-romantic relations, then I don't see why he couldn't with another character. ...And I'm not even going to touch the whole Lucius is the father theory either...ugh. I'm just going to wait and see and hope that she's a realitively real person; or whatever. Her crying at the ruined wedding and acting a bit like a bridzilla seems perfectly understandable given the situation, it doesn't make her a bitch in real life. Had someone done that to my wedding, I would have become full-on all-out Gorgon, and that biotch claiming my man was her baby-daddy like some trashy day time talk show would have been in the market for a wig. ...wow, I just realized how incredibly low-class that sounded... still, I stand by it.

Yeah, thanks for the curve ball. I struck out. (And that's it for sports euphemisms for me. I don't watch 'em, I don't play 'em)

Did you hear that after chapter 13 went up? Yeah, that was me.

Screaming, "NO F***ING WAY! NO WAY!"

Yeah, it was that good! One hell of a cliffhanger! If it was enough to make Severus drop his wand, it had to be big.

Okay, taking the gloves off now. That was an extreme cliffhanger, even for yours truly who loves a good cliffhanger. But so, so good!

So, if our doe-eyed Nalina isn't dead, I hope she took a bath at least and washed off the gore before toddling off to Russia to meet up with Hermione in the far reaches of the planet. :0) And changed her clothes, too.

I kid, I kid.

I assume it's Nalina but I'll have to wait until the next chapter (yes, that was a big hint..hint, hint..)to find out. Until then, I'll wildly speculate.


*It's not Nalina. It's an impostor.
*It's the real Nalina and the Nalina at the wedding was an impostor paid to pose as Nalina. Polyjuiced Nalina gets offed in the accident. Oops! The real Nalina needs Hermione's brains to help her figure this out.
*Nalina's a werewolf, and she has a vested interest in Hermione succeeding in finding a cure for lycanthropy. I'm reaching, I know.

I'll wait by my computer until the update goes up. ::drums fingers on the table::

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! This was a fabulous chapter and I can't wait to read more. ::rubs hands together:: This is getting even better. Mystery, suspense and intrigue. Wait, where's the blackmail? Don't forget the blackmail! ;0)
