I want to see that last memory!!

This was lovely, and funny. Thanks for sharing!

[tomatoe18]

Ask Harry. He loves showing that memory to anyone who'd want to see it. ;) Haha.

Thanks for reading and commenting, dear!

LOL - this was really funny. :DDD

However, I was a bit confused by two small parts - but maybe I didn't get it right. Jane is a "real" girl, isn't she? If she is, the following two sentences didn't really make sense to me:

"Little Jane Malfoy-Potter turned her big, teary green eyes towards his (her?) grandfather’s..."

"She listened politely to him anyway, because that was what her daddy taught him (her?) to do..."

Otherwise the whole story was a very pleasant read. Thank you!

APOLOGIES! I must've missed those pronouns while I was cleaning/tweaking the fic. :( *headdesk*

To clarify, Jane is indeed female. I meant to write "her" all the way. I will edit when I post in my blog. Thanks to aldehyde, the mistake is now fixed!

Sorry for the confusion but thanks for reading and commenting. :) Also, thanks for being sharp enough to point out my mistakes. :)

[leochi]

No need to apologize!!! I just wasn't sure whether the pronouns were mixed up or not and anyway, the story was so cute, it didn't matter. :-)))

That was so funny! Harry and Draco - still teasing each other after all those years. And Draco was so delusional about who taught Scorpius - lol!

You know that this is some kind of weird H/D in disguise, do you? *g*

I guess I start recognising your style a little bit. Because I first read the fic without taking a look at the author and so when Janey and Draco appeared, this kind of reminded me of your kind of humour. :-)

I KNOW, RIGHT! I'm glad and amused you noticed that. Haha. That man probably thinks his own grandfather, Abraxas, taught Scorpius. *shakes head*

What? H/D in disguise? WHERE? I DON'T SEE IT! *looks around cluelessly* Heh, heh.

I knew you'd recognize it sooner or later, dear. You're my Legilimiser, remember?

Love your comment, as always. Thanks for reading! ^_^

Not everybody has a personal Legilimiser! *g*

Now I feel like a kind of very important translator or something. *giggles*

Maybe Scorpius is Abraxas' re-incarnation? *loves you and your delusional Draco*

Re: Honoring Tradition

[tomatoe18]

I am happy to be one of the few people who has a personal Legilimiser. :)

My delusional Draco and I return the love. :D

[tomatoe18]

Yes, it did turn out all right. Otherwise, Jane wouldn't have been there. *laughs* Thank you for reading and giving me this lovely comment!

[azamir]

oh lol.

that is so great.

[tomatoe18]

Haha, thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
