Another wonderful chapter full of so many great things. Thuban kissing the baby and the early Christmas for Thuban. Draco receiving a kiss from Thuban via Narcissa; and their times together. Didn't hate Ron and the rest as much in this chapter. Although I do still wish pain for Harry I want Hermione and Ron to find peace. Not that I forgive him yet, I just hope he can let go of his hate. (I'm stocking up on my chocolate for the upcoming trial)
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad to know you enjoyed all those little details. Also, I think it's great that you are finding some sympathy for Ron and Hermione. They have a scene coming up that explores more of what they are really thinking. I look forward to reading your thoughts on that. Thanks again for the review! I can't believe how closeto the end it is now. :)
a great job!! i believe hermione's conclusion at correct!! great that draco could spend quality with his family & friends!! wonder what draco saw in the pensive?
Author's Response: Thank you so much! And Hermione is a very smart witch so ... And Draco saw the scenes listed in that paragraph and the one that was described before was the scene with his father when they embraced and he told Lucius he loved him. I can't remember which chapter that was in, but it was in Part Three. Thanks so much for the review!
Well, I must say this was a fantastic chapter! I'm glad that the Weasleys are finally starting to see the truth in Draco and Ginny. That stone mustv'e changed some of their minds a little hopefully! ;)
I feel really sad for Draco. He must really feel terrible atm...I can't belive this fanfic is nearly over already!

Author's Response: Well, thank you very much! Glad you picked up on the Weasleys in that scene. Also, yeah poor Draco. It is coming to an end in just a few more chappies. Makes me a little sad, but maybe I will finally work on the other two I have going. :) Thanks again for the review!
Suspense!!! I hope he is proven innocent. Wishful thinking, yes -but one can't help but hope for the best. Or maybe he will be proven guilty but given a light sentence (community service)?
So many possibilities!
...Harry has to be emotionally crushed to let Ginny go. I hope he hits rick bottom soon so he can get on with his life (maybe the news of D/G true love will reach his ears?.. Again wishful thinking :P). I don't where that last comment came from but I have a sneaking suspicion it came from the same part of the brain that whispered blunt..object...Harry last time.. Oh well :D
Author's Response: Only for a few more chappies and then it will all be over. :( No blunt objects please until it's over. Then I'll let you decide if you really need them. Though these reviews have been very entertaining lately. :) Thanks so much!
AHA my theory was right after all, wicked ;)
very well written again…. cant wait for the trial to start, i hope Blaise has a few tricks up his sleeve that will shock the audience and that it ends well for D & G cus they deserve it after all this misery and that Harry gets a good sound beating from Draco……also would be good if Harry heard about what Draco said about not being able to hurt a baby the same age a Thurban.
Author's Response: Congrats! I knew you'd be happy to know you were right. :P Thanks so much for the sweet compliment and the review. I love reading everyone's thoughts on Harry. It's very interesting how much everyone wants him to suffer. Thanks again!
I hope the trial goes in Draco and Ginny's favor because if it doesn't I'm going to cry and hate the weasley's and Harry till the end of this story. I'm also worried about the baby. Please update soon.
Author's Response: Glad to hear from you again. The trial goes til the end of the story - so not much more waiting. I hope to update by this weekend. Thanks so much for reviewing!
There were so many little details in this chapter that I loved - Narcissa giving Draco a kiss from Thuban (lol), Draco saying he didn't miss being along w/ Ginny's hormones, Thuban kissing her belly like Draco did, and Draco reading all the signs of Ginny's fear during their visits.
I had hoped the stone from the vial would be proof of their bonding; so I'm glad to have that confirmed. The Weasleys seemed a bit softer in this chapter. They seem genuinely affected by the fact that D & G truly love each other (even if they do hope they won't be together).
I'm glad you gave Draco a way to reconcile with his father and a chance to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.
Although I'm certain this story will end well, I'm feeling a little bit anxious about the impending trial. Looking forward to the next chapter. :)
Author's Response: This review is so generous. I love hearing all the parts that stood out to you. :) Thank you so much.I knew many of you were hoping for the stone to mean what it did. I like that you picked up on the Weasleys in this scene as well. They really aren't bad people, just a but misguided.
The trial takes up a bulk of the last three chapters - can you believe that's all there is left?! But there is also an epilogue!
Oh I loved it! But if it's coming to an end what about all the side characters like Ron, Blaise, Pansy and George? Any nice little present that wraps it all up for us? Ok well it was beautiful as always. Good work!
Author's Response: Thank you! And so glad you loved it. Yes, there is an epilogue that does a nice little wrap-up for you. Maybe not as much info as you would like on the side characters, but it does give you some insight into the main ones. Thanks so much for the review and the love!
Yay!!!! They r married!!! They r married!!!! Yahoo!!!!! Awesome job!!!!! How many chapters r left til the end? I'm practically torn! On the one hand, I want to find out the end really really badly!!! But on the other hand, I love this story too much to want it to end!!! And just so u know, this was the first story I read about DG. It got me hooked!!! On another note, expect a package to arrive by the next chapter. In the package, there should be a key to vault 971 in Gringotts, go there, and retrieve Potter. He should be badly hurt, but most definitely not dead. Don't want to finish this story without a heartbroken Harry!!!
Author's Response: Yay! I knew you'd be happy about this chapter. And there are 41 chapters and then an epilogue. So not much more left. And I am so honoured to have written your first D/G fic. I mean, to know that you were hooked with my fic is such a thrill. There are such AMAZING fics out there in this ship and I am just so happy to be the one that led you to them. And thanks for not killing Harry, kind of need him for the trial. I will so miss your funny reviews. Thanks again for all the love and support. :)
