Bloody Hell! What in Merlin's name are you on about woman? An effing cliffhanger?
You know that I want to find out what those two are up to and now you dangle that damned carrot in front of me and then just yank it away? What is wrong with you?
You are a malicious creature and if I wasn't so damned hooked by this fic I would completely ignore you! But no, you had to write something that is too damned interesting to stop reading!
And Haagen-Dazs is not snooty! I find it creamier than B&J's and it seems they are the only ones that can make a proper Butter Pecan. Which I will have to down by the pint since you insist on withholding my current narcotic of choice.
Whinging about assignments, pfffftt. Save those for when you are at work, and my boss is too busy with his own devices and knows better than to bother me when I am in a snit. Which you have put me in with your manipulative...disturbing...bloody effing, dammit! I cannot even think straight.
Now I shall be forced to actually work while at the office.
Thank you so much for that!
Wicked woman!

ooh, Arabella, wanna hear my theory? hehe, it's probably completely ass-backwards but this is kind of fun....
Nalina is Draco's half sister not via Lucius but Narcissa. In other words, same mom, different dad. Who is the dad? Severus Snape.
Mmhmm. Can anyone say Electra Complex? (Female version of Oedipal Complex) --- Like my squick factor twist?
Yeah, and Lucius has been plotting his revenge on Snape for years. In fact, the "attraction" between the two was perhaps a lust spell/curse or potion. He may have had all sorts of contingencies planned out right down to the tiny detail.
What he didn't expect is a random one night stand between Snape and another witch who would keep her accidental pregnancy a secret from everyone. He also didn't count on Ginny Potter messing up his carefully laid plans, hence how she stumbled upon all of his sensitive documentation.
It could be even more convoluted. What if Nalina was two timing Snape with Harry Potter, and Harry isn't this poor, innocent husband as he seems. What if he cheated first and Ginny found out? What if Ginny was on her way to tell Snape that their significant others were boffing eachother when she ran into Draco and they formed an alliance -- he to safeguard his inheritance and she for revenge or whatever? They get close, they start an affair, etc.. Dear old dad doesn't know or plan on that little contigency either, so he is caught unawares when she meets Draco at his mansion and she finds the "manilla envelope."
Meanwhile, Nalina can't get preggers with Snape's kid for some unknown reason, she just doesn't understand (she doesn't know that she's his daugher and the incest thing is causing her to miscarry?) so she uses a little Harry sperm for her backup plan to get pregnant. (This is my way of making sure it was someone else's kid and taking a little bit of the squick factor out of the equation, LOL). This explains why she's in such a tizzy about having to get married right now!!
That's my ultra squicky ass-backwards, probably way way off theory that makes me do an evil laugh: mwahaha.
I have too much time on my hands today, LOL.
Author, good luck on your assignments and get lots of sleep. School always comes first! Then I'll poke you with that stick! :D

Okay I'm off the pins and needles the foot cream worked lol.. Anyways Excellent chapter, I'm still very curious about what Ginny is up to and why she had to have Hermione reveal she was carrying Snape's child when it was very clear she didn't want him to know. I loved it when Lucius entered the room, I hope he puts the redhead in her place. Look forward to reading more

Hmm, yea. My friends ex-boyfriend, to answer you A/N, is a horrible man. I mean his mother too. So reading about how Sev tosses the baby aside...yea. That's why I said it'd be best for Harry to have the baby. Because I've seen first hand, its better for a child to be with someone who will take care of it than not. And I thank my lucky stars that my friend did the right thing in terms of her ex.
Though I must say this chapter with her diary is really, rather interesting. Does that mean she went to Russia?
Well, I do hope it ends up better, to say the least. This chapter was good on my nerves. And as I said before, it was too dark for me because it DID hit close to him. So let's just see, yea?
Is it wrong I really hate your Nalina? Not her baby of course, but "pretty, little, dead Nalina" or whatever she is. Ugh, I've decided I don't like her! And I'm glad you killed her off (except the baby of course), lol.
Lordy. lol

hahaha, that last chapter was awesome. Oh how I love how Lucius Malfoy complicates things. Thank goodness! I gotta say, you story IS looking up. I'm happy and looking forward to the rest of it now. Though, of course that is subject to change like the wind (as we know) when you put Severus back in the mix with all his horrible-ness.
Though you have me thinking now...
Half-sister, eh? I don't think Narcissa was the mother. I bet Lucius was the father and the mother is some muggle! Oooh, that's a way for Lucius to stick it to Sev. Because that would mean Nalina was tainted! Ooh I like my theory. Ooor, maybe Lucius didn't want to stick it to Sev, but Sev was a "upholding" alternative to hiding the truth about Nalina. Orrr, I wonder if pretty, little, dead Nalina's mother was Bellatrix. What if she wasn't even Draco's sister at all, but his cousin? Yep, I'm gonna keep on not liking pretty, little, dead Nalina.
What did Ginny find? What did she find? I bet she found out that Nalina WASN'T carrying Severus' child. I bet it someone else's and Draco couldn't do that to his godfather! Of course, because Nalina's not as good as she seems. And Lucius making sure Nalina marries Severus covers the "goodness" of the Malfoy name! Oh yes, that is EXACTLY what it is. But whose the REAL father? I bet it's Harry. Nalina had a one-night stand with Harry...oh yes. That would make the plot thicken so well. Ah ha! And that's also why Nalina told Severus she was pregnant and HAD to get married before the baby was born...you know black hair and green eyes and all... OMG, I would die laughing if Nalina had an affair with RON!!! Oh that would explain the Ginny factor! Nalina's baby was Ginny's biological neice! Ooh yes! I figured you out, I make sense! Yes, yes I do.
I think my wacky theory makes me happy. So I'll leave it at that.
Alrighty, good luck with your assignments. I'm in university too, and I read your stories in my free time when I take a break. So I know how you feel :o/ Best of luck with them!
Okie Dokie, update soon!
(p.s. also about it hitting close to home, my friend was 18 when it happened to her, and the guy (the piece of crap that he is) was like 23) just so you know/understand, more of where I'm coming from... and you're absolutely right. Not everyone is a good person. -- But that makes me wonder, do you mean your Severus, in this story, really ISN'T a good person? That would be really sad if it were true. Then I wouldn't want him being with Hermione at all.)

I cannot tell you all how inordinately pleased it makes me that my "pretty little dead Nalina" phrase has been repeated many times.
I don't squee because I'm just not a...um...squee-er........but all your nods make lean a teensy bit toward squee-ish-ness. LOL
I thought about Ron for a few seconds too but, if you remember it was mentioned in one chapter that he is disabled and lives at home where Mrs. Weasely takes care of him full time. Er, something to that effect. Unless of course, Nalina is a healer in training and was going there to "help" out and found out that she could ride Ron like the brooms he used to ride. Ha! Maybe she was doing half the wizarding world and had no idea WHAT her baby was going to look like! hehehe

Chapter 11-
'His thoughts were amuck' Amuck! Amuck! Amuck! Amuck! *smack* Sorry! Had to.
As I pull out my trusty Nancy Drew magnifying glass I wonder if Juno is her traveling pseudonym. CLUE! Though Russia might be a destination CLUE! A part of me is curious if it's possible that she's taken up residence in Hogwarts itself. Let's disect this. Undoubtably she's familiar with the castle. It's certainly large and secretive itself to hide someone if necessary (and Dumbles would probably support hiding her) It's possible that she could have 'the Map,' thus aiding her secret residence. Food wouldn't be a problem. And more importantly, if she's attempting to continue her research, which is likely, she has access to resources she needs. She could be the other other ghost. Reminds me of a childrens book (No, not HP) where kids are living in a museum.
CC - Got to trust the process. It's not my story. I'm just along for the ride; good, bad, indifferent. Feedback where I add my two knuts worth, reaction, and speculation is part of the fun. There's a lot of speculatin' to be done here, especially to such a unique story. But it's YOUR story. I got that. I think after your note, others will too. I think it hit the right tone.

Do not..I repeat..do not waste your time responding to my review. Reviews are for your benefit. Ok, they're for the readers too but that doesn't mean you have to respond to every one. The story is wonderful and very well written. It pulls me in and gets me all emotional about what's going on. Not to mention the desire to put knots on some heads. Especially, Ginny and Draco. Hermione, I would like to give a good shake. I don't know the details of her attempt to cure werewolves but it sounds like she may have taken on too much by herself and without sufficient controls. Severus, I would like to hold and give comfort (minds out of the gutter, not that kind of comfort). As for Nalina, she sounded like a very nice girl who made Severus happy. I wouldn't have wished her and certainly not her baby dead. I also don't wish for any nasty secret to come out about her that would ruin Severus' happy memories of their time together. Although I love the Hermione/Severus pairing a lot because I can identify with her character and thus pretend to be her, a well written OC female that makes Severus happy (which he so deserves) is ok with me. **dodges bullets from HG/SS shippers** Hey, it's all about the story and I think this is your best one yet.

Chapter 12-
Gasps! Plot thickens! Again! ! Hmm... *pulls out trusty Nancy Drew magnifying glass* Any particular reason why Gin is continuously referred to as Ginny Weasley? Divorce already transpired? Did I miss that one; I know the papers were left for Harry. And the Saint Weasley comment in the previous chapter made me dry heave just a bit. Not that Gin is the master-manipulator here. It's obvious she's an amature. So Lucius has stealthily made an appearance. Grand. It's time for the adults to play now. Ginny is too blunt and unsubtle in her manipulative tactics that it's just... sad. Yep, sad's the word I'm looking for. Time for some proper Slytherin scheming. This ought to be good.
Oh, and I just love the Draco's inheritance angle. It casts just enough hint of doubt on whether this 'running away with the love of his life' is a bit of a facade. Cuz it did sorta sound romantic. Twisted and delightfully dysfunctional, but oddly sweet. Maybe I'm just dysfunctional... entirely possible.
Yep, I'm noticing my reviews are getting longer the more engaged in this fic I'm getting. Brownie Girl Scout honor - I promise not to write a page... or more.
