Note: This is going to be a "chapter" that's just replying to all the
reviews I've gotten for Chapter 10 and beyond (that's not too many, right?)
in the order in which they were received. ^_^ So, if you want the next
chapter, just skip this, okay? ^_~
Bluebird161221: Yes, mid-terms do suck. How did yours go? Well, I hope. Here's some more of the fic! Still enjoying it?
GLAY: Love the name! I love that J-pop group... especially their song "Beloved." I'm soooo glad you like my story! I'm flattered. #^_^#
Lain: Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
BabyPufoo: I agree; Draco will be MUCH better for Harry than Ron. ^_~ I don't like Ron much sometimes, do you? I mean, he's find in the cannon stories..... usually..... *shrug*
~Mary~: I'm relieved you like my portrayal of Draco! I was unsure how he'd be received. And yes, Harry DID get Snape a present! Thanks for reminding me... *massive sweatdrop* I went back and re-read my entire fic, making small changes and noting to myself what I needed to re-visit. Thanks for being so observant!!!
AmZ: I can't have Hermione completely abandon him; she's too intelligent for that. Ron, however, turned against him even in JK's story (CoS), so I don't have much faith in him. ^_^() Ron/Harry pairings are so unreal to me... There IS, however, a thin line between love and hate... He and Draco DO know each other intimately in the books, only they focus on the weaknesses and negative aspects. I hope that changes... ^_^
Absinthe Sythe: Yes, I agree. Snape is one Very. Sexy. Postions. Master. *smirk* And thanks! This is my first Harry Potter fic; I'm so glad it seems to be popular! I'm also a convert to D/H... Although H/S is still my second favorite. Have you read Midnight Blue's "The Mirror of Maybe"?? Although unfinished, it's the best fic on fanfiction.net that I've read so far... and it's H/S!!! *grins* A must-read.
HELLO (?): I'm continuing, see? I'm glad you like the 'new' Draco! ^_^
Tidmag: See? Hermione's not that bad. She's just rather... hesitant about defending Malfoy and anything associated with him, especially with Ron hating him so vehemently. Yep; Gred and Forge are great. Ginny? She won't play a huge role, I don't think. I don't like her much (although Bonnie did a great job in the movie!). Harry won't change... but he might discover a different side of himself that was just buried! ^_^
Diana Lucille Snape: Yay! You came back! *huggles* I agree about Draco and Harry taking it slowly. It'll be hard to restrain myself, though... ^_~ So much yumminess... *sighs dreamily* And yes, see? Harry's a Seeker. I'm pretty sure Draco'll end up a Beater (o_O Oh the possibilities... *SNORT*). It'll be so much fun, and suit him so well! (*still smirking like mad*) I'm so glad you like it; review on the updates! And yes, I'm playing with the idea of Goyle and Crabbe actually having personalities...
Grey Malfoy: Thanks! Ah, yes, the effects of caffine... *g*
Nyx N. Malfoy, Neko Megami: Yep, June 21, right? I can't wait! ^_^ I'm glad you like my story so much! It's really the reviewers that keep me going... I'd forgotten about it, to tell the truth, until some concerned readers e- mailed me! ^_^ And, yeah... My straight A's are hanging in balance; I'm surprised I can even keep a B in math right now. I feel so stupid! I've never gotten lower than a high A before this year... *cries in a corner* ... *sniffles*
HP-Lover420: ... I'm really not sure at this point how far this will go. I suppose I'll just keep writing them when I have time, since I've not got a specific goal or ending point. Maybe I'll even carry this through the seventh book timeline... or after! But I doubt it. I have a reputation for being very very lazy. _ But I'll try, because I love writing and I LOVE getting feedback (as long as it's kindly phrased).
Tima: I think you've reviewed three times! Thanks! See? I'm updating! Finally! ^_^
Spirit Stone's Insanity: I'm hurrying hurrying hurrying hurrying hurrying hurrying hurrying! ^_^ Kinda.
Nightwing: Yes, I don't fancy the idea of being sued for using JK's incredible writing. _ She's a genius, really, but even I update faster than her... *sweatdrops a the sudden silence* ...alright, so she writes a book and I write a chapter or two. SO???? *inches away slowly*
Babyshiro: Thanks for e-mailing! It meant a lot and got me back on track! ^_^ I don't know if Blaise, Draco, and Harry will become a new Trio. But I'm going to have something weird with Blaise... he'll be an interesting character; almost an OC, really, because JK has developed him so little. If he plays a big role in OotP, I guess I'm screwed, huh? ^_~ YES! Thank you! I didn't realize it, but Minoru is almost EXACTLY what I'm going for. Just... with a bit more of a twisted sense of humor. ^_^ Chobits is awesome! Yeah... Ron as Seeker should be interesting. And... it's cool that you don't hate Pansy or Flint as much! I mean, I don't love either of them, but reading ANY story with a really annoying character gets tedious. I don't know if I'll even be able to re-read CoS very often; Lockhart's just sooooo infuriating! ARGH! ...as you can see, I really hate him.
Kyuuketsuki: *GLOMP* You need to review more! ^_^ I'm glad it's not /that/ bad. ¬_¬ ...heh So... when ya gonna put up a fic of your own, huh? *poke poke* Anyway... broom/stick/. Heh. Right, so, see you at school, etc... Love ya! ^_~ HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS THE WONDERFUL PERSON WHO CONVERTED ME TO DRACO/HARRY! ^_^
Hippy Flower: Your favorite?? *sqeals* Thank you so much!!!! ~~~ Feels special
Cheryl: Thanks! I will. Yay! Another A/L slash lover! Good taste, girl!
[Note: Have ANY guys reviewed??? O_O *sigh* I suppose they're not huge shounen-ai fans, usually... except for these two guys I know... Eh, oh well. Their loss! ^_^]
ER: Well, they'll be acting like "good friends" for a long time; there won't be any slash for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time. ^_^ *sigh* Unfortunately. But, I can't promise there won't be any "kissing or any very gross stuff like that," because I love stuff like that. However, I WILL put a warning at the beginning of any chapter that has any of that "gross stuff" in it. *amused* Don't worry; I'm glad you like my story, and I hope you'll continue to read it for now! ^_^
Desertwren: Thank you so much! Here ya go: more chapters! Yay! Do the happy dance with me! ^_^() () () And yes, it'll be cool to figure out how it affects the Quidditch matches.
Aishiteru Tenshi: LOL I did the same thing when I saw it... Legolas comes on the screen. Me: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee! Aragorn comes on the screen. Me: AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... BOTH at once: Me: OMG! So... hot... EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! ^_^ ~~~~ very happy Maris
Fang gurlie: Thanks! I appreciate it. It's a miracle it IS so light, actually, as I love angst so much. Don't think this story'll be THAT angsty, though. ^_^
Sunnibunni13: Lemme guess... Tiffany? ^_~ Well, we can hope that you'll grow to like A/L... Oh well; your loss. ^_^ As long as I don't have to read anything about Aragorn/Arwen... Ugh. ¬_¬
Jaded Green: Here ya go! Next chappie... coming up! ^_^
Leena-and-Earlie: Yay! More people love my story! Thanks so much for reviewing; here's the next chapter!
Hannah: Yay! You read it all in one evening? Coolness! I'm so glad you like it! I'll keep writing. I promise! ^_^()
Chibi: I agree on both acounts: Yes, Draco and Harry look cute together, and Yes, Ron is a moron. ^_^()
Mellem: See? Chapter 13's up! Aren't you proud of me?
KawaiiKowaiKoneko: Yup! She does. Ron doesn't, though... lol
Laurenyelle the Silver: Of COURSE I don't mind being put on someone's favorite list! o_O ~~~~~ is very flattered
Jedigal: Howdy yourself! Here ya go: more chapters! Yay! ^_^
Dracoqueen456: ...your name is giving me interesting fanfic ideas. ^_^() lol Thanks for reviewing! I'm so glad you like it.
Amo55: Yay! It makes me so happy when a review includes the word "best" or "favorite" in it... ^___^ Thank you!!!
DUK: Wow, thank you! I feel really good now... ^____^() Thank you so much, and I hope you continue to like what I read!
Skull Bearer: Yep! I can't wait for it to come out!!! Thanks so much; I can't believe this is actually on some peoples' favorites list. ^_^;
Tyger-lily-pendragon: Well... She won't be as sweet as a chocolate cake (mmm... chocolate... ^_^), but she won't be mean, exactly, either. She'll get used to it over time, I think.
Apostrophe: Thanks! Actually, I'd never read a fic with Harry in Slytherin before I started this; afterwords, I became worried that this was too common a story line. However, I'm glad it seems to have retained some of its originality! ^_^
Frizzy: Okay!
Runespoor: Heh. I'd think that I'm very lazy and would love to add another chapter... later. _ I'm glad you're greatly enjoying the story, though!! ^_^
Sk8treagle: I'm glad you found something you like! I hope you continue to continue reading; I'll try to continue writing!!! ^^;
Npetrenko: More, coming up! ^_~
Floramorada: Yay! I love it most of all when someone thinks my story is original; anyone can write a "better version" of a typical story line. Thank you!!! ^____^
Skysong: Thanks! I rather liked writing Ron's reaction myself. ^_^
Jatewtch: ^_^ I'll try to keep the updates coming!
Scrat: Wow! Clapping? *bows, feeling honored* Of COURSE the Slytherins don't become perfect! ^_^ Nobody is. Except maybe the God that is Draco Malfoy. o_O In my humble opinion. ^_~
Serapotter: I'll try! Enjoy!
Yami Fire Angel: Yay! Okay, I'll try to update more often... I like your name; it reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! ^_____^ Yami Yugi... *drool*
RaistlinofMetallica: Yeah, it takes me a while, doesn't it? _ Well, glad you like it! ^_^
Caelestis: I'm trying! Another update... must... type... more quickly...
Xikum: Heh... looking quite ahead, aren't you! ^_~ That's great! You're giving me ideas... heh. ^_^ I'm so glad you like it!
Kimmy: ^_^ You'll just have to wait and see, won't you? Lol Thanks for reviewing, and I hope you continue to enjoy my story!
Phew... All those reviews... and those were only from 10 and up! O_O Wow! I feel so loved... ^_^ Well, onto the next chapter, ne? And please keep reviewing! Even if I haven't enough time to reply to each and every single one, it's still great to get them and read them and feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Yay! *huggles her reviewers* And now... Chapter 15! (I'm calling this Chapter 14, just to keep my numbers and documents straight on my harddrive, okay? So, technically, the story HAS no Chapter 14... but that's okay, right? ^_^)
Bluebird161221: Yes, mid-terms do suck. How did yours go? Well, I hope. Here's some more of the fic! Still enjoying it?
