Woo-hoo! More chapters! ::pops more popcorn to settle in for some good reading. Gives CryingCinderella more chocolate as an incentive to post more chapters today. The good stuff, not Hershey's. Godiva chocolate, baby!::

Dun-dun-duuuuunnn! Lenore wants the baby. I don't get any warm and fuzzy feelings from her seemingly philanthropic attitude. I didn't get any warm and fuzzy feelings from her, period. Her tacky comment about Severus going after Hermione when Nalina was hardly cold for a week now was delicious, though. Severus must really be badly distracted to not have at least threatened to hex Lenore for that nastiness. ;0)

I'm glad Severus (well, eventually he will, when he resolves the Hermione matter) is thinking and wondering about the timeline of Nalina's pregnancy. All sorts of squicked-out possibilities there. ::shudders::

Gah, poor Hermione. In the throes of what has to be post-partum depression along with all the other misery heaped on her right now. Buck up, girl, you're a tough cookie.

Nalina isn't (or wasn't...oops) an innocent, doe-eyed young thing, methinks. Lenore clearly isn't. Lenore can't be offering to take Hermione's child out of the goodness of her heart. (Well, DUH.) Something sinister is afoot...calling Harry Potter for help!

Hey, Hermione! Get out of that damned snow and kick Lenore's ass! While you're at it, kick some sense into Severus Snape, too. :0)

I can't wait for more!

::sends more Godiva chocolate to CryingCinderella:: There's more where that came from. ;0)

Chapter 15-

Oh.

Interesting plot, but I'm still hung up on Sev's grief. I don't know if/how meeting the twin will help him with his grief.

But then if everything is taking more of a soap opera twist perhaps I should have seen the identical twin separated at birth angle. Does Sev have an evil twin? Will he be in an 'incurable' coma? Amnesia? Kidnapping? Or maybe kidnapped by evil twin who replaces you only to fall victim to a coma, wakes up and has amnesia. Thus far I haven't tasted Cheese from this fic. I hope it won't go there though.

Go get your baby boy, Hermone! You can do it! Don't let him become one more casualty in this fucked up Malfoy scheme. Man, don't you get tired of the Malfoys playing God all the time?
And then go into hiding while you make that cure! Maybe Sprout and the Hogwarts House Elves can help her through while she gets her shit together.

CC -- Thank you! I DO appreciate all your hard work! :D

Chapter 16-
Miscariages? I was under the impression that she wanted to get married before the baby was born (regardless of who the father was). We know that he apparently wasn't serious about marrying her, but miscarriages? That seems so unnecessarily cruel, especially from a man who by all appearances loved her so utterly (not that grief doesn't magnify emotions)
So, I guess my question is, why was it so vital for her to be married before giving birth to this child, whereas with the previous pregnancies it wasn't? You would have thought that if it was important they'd have been wed the first time she discovered she was carrying his child. Especially if we're talking multiple pregnancies... which is just plain sad.

I know that a man as intelligent as Severus Snape can count. He knows when Nalina would have gotten preggers, but his joy at being a father easily could have clouded his reasonable thought process. Regardless to who might have knocked her up (and I shudder to think about that impending cliffie) the child was his, he took emotional ownership for his daughter. I wonder if he'll ever get to the point where he's willing to do that for his son.

I'm still asking, 'but what of the boy?' The story keeps getting obfusicated and plot thickens with rabbits and rabbit-holes, but I'm still wondering about the baby we haven't seen. Ok, I get that he's being held as a ward of the state, but geez! Who's taking care of him? Infants need love and reassurance. Aside from the fact that the unnamed baby boy is more attuned to what's going on than I think than his parents are giving him credit for.

Oh, and the boy deserves a name. But that's my two knuts worth. If one of the parents named him though, it would be one step towards emotional attachment and humanizing him. Lord knows he's been referred to as 'it' long enough. Dumbass parents need to get their asses out of Russia.

whoa!!!! Another moment when the music kicks in and we wait impatiently for the next episode!

I totally love this story - but it would be lovely if the answers to the reviews were on the review page and not within the chapter - I find it a bit distracting.... and when i think I have a lovely long chapter to get my teeth into, I realise most of it is comments :(

Oh well... onwards... hope you're writing quickly!

Lucius was probably behind Nalina's miscarriages, too, by use of a potion or spell or something. I can see him not wanting to pass any inheritence to a grandchild that he didn't approve of the father. I get the feeling that Severus was most definitely not his first choice.

BTW, now that the miscarriages and mismatched due date is in the open, will it be revealed how far along she actually was and/or if she was actually pregnant?

I still have to wonder, however, the purpose for Draco wanting to stop the wedding. The wedding itself seemed irrelevant to his inheritance; it was the baby, the next Malfoy heir, that was more of the issue. That one has be a little confused.

And what Ginny's agenda is, I don't know. Unless that documentation she found directly effects her, I'm not sure what her motivation for crashing the wedding was either. Even if she knows that Bill is only her half brother, what would be the point of stopping Snape and Nalina from marrying?
