Welcome back and great chapter! I love how Zandra seems to be coming out of her shell a bit more. She needs that.

Since you promised a new chapter this coming Monday, I thought I would wait to review the chapter until closer to the posting date. This way, I end up rereading the last chapter so it is fresh in my mind. I did spot two errors, however one I could not find again when I went to copy that part of the text. So I guess that one wasn't too big of a deal. The other error I saw is that you spelled Umbridge with a "n" instead of a "m".

I loved the way you worked our character names into your story. Incorporating the definitions of the names was a stroke of genius. I also love that my character is 3. I never imagined an age for the character, but it fits soooooo well as a name for a young child. I'm assuming Addie Mae will go to Luna? No way I could beg you to have her take to Dimitri and end up being placed with him and Narcissa? Can't wait to read what's next-I hope it's more interaction with the children, their mates, and Zandra settling into Salem.

Oh I'm so so happy with this updated chapter. I feel so sorry for Hermione and Draco with the amount of pain they went through and the healing time they need to get better. Please say there is some smut soon, I love my D/Hr smut! But I used to think Whorple is in on it, but now I think she is a mindless woman who has been manipulated to the highest degree. Like the supporters of the BNP (British National Party, fascist shite!)

Tell me if I'm right or not. Also I'm so anxious to read about the kids again, they grew on me so much. But I hope Phillippe gets through the turning soon. Very soon. We need him back.

I'm anxiously waiting for an (early) update. :D

Loved it, absolutely brilliant. Poor Macneely, he just can't win. Wouldn't it be funny if he turned out to be innocent in all this, just an ass under a strong spell? lol anyways, I just love how you manage to tie everything together so smoothly. There was one minor mistake I noticed I think. I believe you meant "world" instead of "word" when Melody said the best potions master worked at the school. Could be wrong of course.

As for the names, I loved the others that were chosen, very neat. I'm amazed that you tied in the rest of the info on Nahuatl that I gave you. Was not expecting that but brilliant non the less. I look forward to reading more about the children!

The way you used our suggestions for your characters was really cool! I look forward to reading more about them & the other rescued children. I really liked the way you got Whorple to agree to hiring Draco & Hermione. I found one mistake. Melody was commenting that nurse Moira could administer potions & slaves. I think you mean "salves." Anyway, I'll be patiently waiting for the next few weeks for the update.

Ha! So I *did* have it. I just didn't think it fit. Making it so that she can do magic (with help) does work better than her being an ordinary squib. Though how she hid from Melody I'm still not sure. I had lots of trouble thinking of a name. Through my profession I come into contact with a lot of people and a lot of names. So unlike the other two who decided to choose something with a literal translation, I decided to chose something that I had no connection to. In order to do this, I researched names from 100 years ago. So from the year ranges of 1909-1912 I found the names Mae and Addie. I thought they'd be pretty together as a first and middle name-Addie Mae. It sounds southern, but could just be because they are old names. I couldn't find guys names I liked which I had no associations with. You may just call her Addie, but when I think of names, I can't just do the first name; I have to do both first and middle.

As for the chapter, you have me curious about what spell Moira's minions may be under. A compulsion of some sort, I assume. I don't like that Philippe is now a vampire. I have nothing against the vampires in your stories-I find them quite neat and awesome. But Philippe being one just doesn't sit right with me. But the kids' reactions will sure be interesting. Are we going to see more interaction with the kids and their mates? I love the kids characters but you haven't yet fully developed the mates' characters. I'm sure it's because you just haven't had time yet. After all, Khrone's castle was the main objective and we still want to know about the parents we fell in love with in Bound. Well, I feel like I'm rambling because it's past my bedtime. Until next time!

I have just finished this chapter of Fooling Fate, and I only have one question... Y U MAKE US SUFFER???? T_________T (KIDDING!) I seriously cannot wait for the next chapters. I am DYING to see what'll happen to Draco and Hermione. Kudos to you for the awesome use of movie quotes--which was so BLOODY BRILLIANT that I couldn't resist the urge to compare it with the list of movies you provided in your A/N--and for the use of the name Moira for the Master's character. Your use of Greek myth references is just BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! Please forgive me for saying bloody brilliant all the time. The phrase is just that--bloody brillant! XD

To pass the time, I figured I'd be faithful to you and start reading Beyond the Pale now. (Yes, I've read ALL of your stories and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!) Nonetheless, I will faithfully wait for you to finish the next chapters of Fooling Fate. Please have mercy on your readers' poor souls and post the next chapters as soon as you can. LOVE YOUUUU!
