No, not poor Malfoy. Hey, can you kill off Draco, too? It'd be fun! Hehe, anyway, love the story! It's awesome!
Author's Response: lol - yes, to kill off Draco would be fun! :)

re: apparation wards
*nods* That makes sense.. I suspect it would probably be fairly standard practice to put anti-apparation wards around tombs when they are sealed. My comment was mostly on the logic of the statement in question, that Merlin would have been able to apparate out while he was alive if those specific wards weren't there.
Author's Response: Ah...gotcha. Faulty logic is not a surpise when you consider who's the author... :)

I've just finished reading this story and I'm just speechless. This has got to be one of the very best fanfictions I've ever read. Plotting, characterisation - both of canon and original characters - pacing and dialogue are all virtually flawless. I've certainly never read a fanfiction where the original characters live and breathe in the same way as the canon characters, whilst still remaining true to the feel of JKR's world. I don't mean to diminish your fanfictions in any way, but have you ever written any original fiction? If so you ought to try and get it published, as your writing is better than a lot I've read in print. If not, don't start until you've finished this fanfiction as I'm hooked!
Author's Response: Wow! I'm blushing! Thank you so much. Write my own? Hmmm...my husband keeps wanting to know the same thing! Fan fiction has taught me wonderful things about writing and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Who knows, if I come up with the right idea... :) (And if you have any, feel free to pass them on!)

"Rat," Anna said from behind her.
"Rat," Ginny repeated.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," Anna assured her, kicking the skeletal remains of the rodent to the side.
"The twins put worse under my blankets," Ginny replied.
Anna blinked at her. "Really? I never had a sibling. Always thought I wanted one,"
*snickers* I love that exchange. :-)
Wow... I must say thank you for leaving us with this chapter, nice and long, and action packed.. gives us something to nicely tide us over until you can post again. :-)
Loved Mr Tibbles POV, and Molly's reaction. :-)
Also loved the tomb raiding scene, It's good to see Harry and Ginny getting some first hand experience.
"Go! We have to get out of here. We can't Disapparate from in here, otherwise Merlin would have." - This looks like faulty logic to me, Merlin was confined by an entrapment charm, they are not.
Finally I have to say I loved the battle sequence, very nicely done, :-)
Author's Response: Siblings are fun, aren't they? :) As far as the Disapparation point goes...I may not have explained this fully. The wards protecting Merlin's tombs are similar to Hogwarts', thus no Disapparation. When Nimue altered the original Entrapment Charm, she tweaked it to keep people away, not keep Merlin in because he had passed on. In her own way, Nimue wanted to protect him for all eternity. Or so I think... :) Glad you enjoyed it. See you in December!

Lucius gets a "limited sympathy" response from me. (The upper
limit would be a quantity known as "epsilon" -- a
measure of experimental error.) In any case, it seems that
Lucius had a fairly quick, clean death, which is rather a
better fate than he deserves. I'm a little surprised that
Tonks didn't refer to Narcissa as "Aunt Narcissa;" then again, I
suppose she'd not be especially keen to remind folks of the
kinship.
Let's see... the Good Guys still need to unseal the tomb and get
out. I'm relieved that they seem OK.
What about Moony, though?
Hmm... wonder how long it will be before Snake-Face Tom realizes
what happened to this cadre of DEs? And I wonder if this is
something Lucius did on his own, or whether he briefed Tom on
his plan beforehand? (I'd guess the former, though I'm not sure
how he'd persuade Mad Bella to join him -- the others strike me
as folks who would likely follow Lucius just because he said so.)
In any case, I doubt Tom will be pleased, and he generally
expresses his displeasure. I suspect some folks may well envy
Lucius' quick passage from the land of the living.
All in all, very well done (despite a few bits of aberrant
spelling -- wasn't sure that pointing them out would be wanted).
Author's Response: You mean that part where I misspelled Weasley and Unforgivable? David, I never mind typos being pointed out. I read this so many times that honestly, by the time I post, my mind fills in the holes and fixes the typos. I will tell you the Good Guys unseal the tomb and get out. :) Interesting point on both Lucius and Tonks. No, Lucius did this all on his own...revenge, you know, and yes, those did follow him all on their own. Thanks!

Good riddance, Lucius! We can only hope that something like that happens in Book 7. What an action-packed chapter. I couldn't read it fast enough. Loved the whole fight scene in the tomb. Loved all the spells that you use. Once again, can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: I'm keeping my fingers crossed for book 7! :) Glad you enjoyed it! This has to be my favorite battle, too.

Great chapter. The battle scenes are perfect, as well as everything else. Keep up the great work. You have a heck of a team there.
Author's Response: Thank you! I do have a heck of team, don't I! I'm lucky - and believe me, I realize my reviewers are part of that team, too. So thank you!

Dead? Malfoy dead? Oh happy day! There will be much rejoicing!! lol (Glad that it wasn't exactly at the hands of Nathan... I like him to much for him to fire off an Unforgivable.) First off, I loved Mr. Tibbles point of view, the opening scene of the chapter. Although, I have to say that I wanted to read through it as fast as possible to get to the 'good' stuff, but with that said, I still loved it. Dumbledore and Frienze, you just wanted to mess with us again, just so we'd have something to chew on besides turkey! The tomb scenes were suffeciently damp, musky, and the dirty gross one would expect. Poor Anna, I hope her and the baby are okay, I couldn't imagine being preggers and running around like that! What on earth did Bill do to Narcissa? I could guess, but... (remembering that my Divination skills are less than par.) Overall the suspense was well done and laced with bit of humor from the crew. Glad we got to see a bit of Molly, Ron, Hermione, and that the Twins were mentioned. Here's hoping that we won't be toasting with Alka-Seltzer! Cheers, ~Patrony :)
Author's Response: Happy Day, indeed! Bill - well, Bill had no magical reserves left so he used what he had at hand. A rock to the head and a wand to the eye. Nasty business, eh? Glad you enjoyed it!
