Sweet ending! I was hoping Teddy would be the recipient as soon as I realized the possibility of Andromeda or Narcissa being the heir. I liked Neville being called upon to help.

Author's Response: Thanks, I stuck a lot of Arthurian legend into this one, and I've still to use it in other stories. -N-

Very awesome ending! That's who I was hoping the heir was. I love Ron in this story - Draco being forced to be polite was hysterical :)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I love Ron in this story, too. I think that, had he been able to snog Hermione a few times, he might have been more forgiving of Harry and Ginny. But not of Draco, no matter how polite he was.

Nicely handled! The alterations on the shield made for an especially nice touch. Thanks for submitting an enjoyable entry to the challenge!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The shield (and Arthurian legend) was the seed from which this storie grew.

Nicely done at the end, there. It was somewhat obvious that it wouldn't be Draco but Teddy, but the way you wrote that was quite amusing. The mystery of the first chapter and part of the second really drew me into this story. Your idea of comparing the Vault to the Round Table was intriguing. I enjoyed reading it immensely, so thanks for the read.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The outcome was never really in doubt, I suppose. I'm not going to reward Draco, and the only alternative, moving down a third branch of the family tree required a lot more work than I had time for. As I've said, my initial idea was for the round table, and when I found Brunor "the Black" on the table, that made the idea a certainty.

This is an excellent little story. I find it fitting that the Lupin's are now a Most Noble and Ancient House. nothing would have made Sirius happier. Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Thanks, I agree. -N-

Another great story from you, very well crafted and extremley enjoyable.

I would love to hear your thoughts on why Draco was so polite to Harry using his christian name and not the usual Potter. Also Welcoming him into his home, especially so soon after the battle . He also didnt seem to have a change of heart or was as welcoming of Ginny or Ron(though Ron i can understand).

Thanks and Good luck!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Draco is under house arrest, and he's on the losing side. I tried to hint that Harry is close to Andromeda (he calls her Dromeda and he knew where she would be). Narcissa lied to Voldemort for Harry, and she's Andromeda's sister. Draco knows that, and herefore tries to be nice, but he's not good at it, and sometimes forgets himself. His polite welcome is, I think, grudging (perhaps that doesn't come across).
Despite what some misguided lunatics think (sorry, Draco/Ginny fans) I don't think Draco really knows, or cares about Ginny and I'm certain she despises him. Despite an enormous number of fanfics to the contrary, I don't think he's particularly good with girls (his Yule Ball date was pug-face and he's never been seen to take a particular interest in girls).
Ron would cheerfully thump him, and to be honest, I can understand why.

Good lord it's been ages since I left a review here, and I've had to re-register in order to do it.

A most excellent tale, like all of your other work too. I enjoyed it very much and hope this is the story that wins the contest.

Mind you, it's really the readers of your work who win. We get a quality tale from a novice author, who will hopefully be writing his/her own works in time. (of course, I do hope you finish your potter project first...)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
It’s always good to hear from a new reviewer (it’s always good to hear from the regulars, too). Thanks for the compliment, too. My Potter Project requires me to finish this, Aurors and Schoolgirls and Hunters and Prey, and to write one more novel length Harry/Ginny story (set in the year Ron and Harry turn 21) plus the Lavender/Susan/Bobbie vampire novel, and any short stuff which takes my fancy. That will keep me busy for more than a year.

I knew it! Great little two-shot and you got it done on time. Now get to work on Hunters & Prey, Aurors & Schoolgirls, and Strangers ;-) of course just about anything from you is a great read!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Get to work? I’ve just completed three (not exactly romantic) one shots (a Ron/Hermione, a Neville/Hannah, and a George/Angelina) and I have two more planned (Denis/OC and Millicent/Marcus (don’t ask about that second)). There’s an idea for a Ginny/Michael GoF/OotP story forming in my head, too, but I’m resisting that one!

So clever and funny! I loved Harry and Ginny touching one another all the time. and little Teddy is priceless. And the things you thought about the crests. You write better each day. Now to Hunters and Prey (joking, who am I to say that?).

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Harry and Ginny’s constant need for contact is, I think, a natural part of a blossoming relationship.
This story grew in a very unusual way, even for me, and the crests were integral. Brunor le Noir is named on the Winchester Round Table (Brunor the Black, the knight in the Badly Fitting Coat – brilliant for this story). Next from me will be another chapter of Strangers.
