Only you could turn a horcrux hunt into a dirty-talking sexual romp! Yummy and so very H/D.

awww... thank you!

and thank you also for your email about that typo. i felt unnerved enough to read through it again looking for more, and found at least three! ack! "him mother," "artifact," can't remember the third. i'm sure there was a third, though. anyway, i fixed everything i found. thank you for the nudge!

No problem!

Then Malfoy was gone, down the stairs in a whirl of robes so dramatic that Harry thought the other boy must practice in front of a mirror. -- I just love that. Still love this story. :D

thanks, babe. i have to admit though, that i prefer the line about Narcissa trying to explain the cuteness of baby shoes. ;)

Really enjoyed this when I first read it, and I enjoyed it again! Once again, I can't help feeling so so bad for Draco in the end, he's just so...betrayed. Nice job!

i always see lucius as the villainous parent and narcissa as the good, if stuck-up, mummy. :)

so glad you enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this! I was getting all tense about the boys *wasting time on sex* instead of finding that horcrux; thank goodness Harry just goes for the easy way of finding Dark Artifacts, heh heh. The baby shoe incident was sweet and poignant. Good read!

i felt so totally justified in having harry think of a summoning spell, since he thought of one in canon, in the cave with dumbledore! (where it didn't work, but oh well.)

and i'm glad you liked the baby shoe part! i love seeing narcissa as an ordinary mummy, wanting to dress her baby in cute clothes. :)

Yes, and Harry's magical approach is very much to do the easiest solution, like using a bezoar rather than mix a complicated potion!
Narcissa is *so* much an ordinary- and good- mother. I once read a biography where the writer said her father had the servants polish and burnish his new handmade shoes with a rhinoceros horn for five years before he wore them, so they'd have the perfect shine. Even the soles, heh heh. So Narcissa is from the old money wizard family that uses shoe trees, and Lucius is the nouveau riche upstart!

i quite agree. an excellent point!
