LOL Feel free to use any time, there is no copyright. ;)

Oh no not Ingrid too.

Oh this is rather sad.

Draco handled the whole thing really well I thought. lol

What a dramatic chapter.  

Oh my what has happened.  

OK so Draco's aunt should end up in the same bottomless pit that the dreadful Kevin is destined for.

Nut jewells it is.  I adore your Alice.

Poor Alice, I believe she changed the toy. 

Loved the chapter.

Oh good, Lucius is going to get Kevin but good. lol

Is she going to ask him to marry her?  I do hope so. 

Come on Hermione be brave and tell the man.  :)

This chapter made me smile big.

A pretend engagement?  That has trouble written all over it. lol 

Draco is so naughty but hey that's why we love him.

The ex hubs def needs a good kicking.  Draco and Hermione are cute together. :)

OK I do not believe Hermione would have married anyone called Kevin (no offence to any Kevin's out there) Secondly, why wasn't he turned into a toad?  Draco and Alice are so cute together.

This chapter made me smile.  I wonder when Draco will put two and two together. 

Your Alice is a real cutie. 

Hermione just totally used Draco, awesome.  So whose the asshat Hermione married and why did she?

Just, wow. Wow. Thank you.

I don't want it to end, but all good things have to come to an end, doesn't it?

It comes full circle, doesn't it?

And it all comes back around, doesn't it?

I liked that there was another hermione and Draco scene. Tender!

I loved this hesitent and tender love scene between them.

And a new love story begins....

See, classic misunderstanding, that's all

Love the Alice and Lucius memory so very much!

This was so shattering and touching!

Don't get on the broom Alice!

I really liked the James and Alice parts!

This chapter amused me so much!

I like James and Alice together!

it damn well better be virginal..... LOLLOLOLOLO!!!

Way to move a story along a few years, or a decade or so, not that I minded.

Draco is a riot in this story, that's all I have to say!

Yeah, a nother baby is on the way!

Nice conversations!

Very inventive how you solved this little problem. I really liked that you didn't keep this part unresolved for long.

Perfect until Phillipa arrived,right??

I really liked how you wrote these next few from the different peoples views. Good!

Draco is still his father's son, right?

Kevin is a piece of crap, plain and very simple!

This chapter almost wanted to make me cry!

It was sad to kill off Ingrid, but I understand the reasonsing for the story line.

love the alice in wonderland refereences.

There are a lot of rules to raising children, Draco!

Classic Malfoy line... It will be hard to make love without taking off my clothes, but I'll give it a go. LOL!

A great scene between Hermione and Draco!

One of the funniest chapter's you've ever written and I've ever read, and it was needed after the last couple, so thnaks!

This one made my heart clinch and I was holding my breath, even though I've read this story before and I knew it was going to be ok.

I'm a bit with Draco on this one. I can see why he doesn't think she could or should or would trust Ingrid.

One word. Props. LOL!

Ah, when she ran to his arms and called him Daddy, I said out loud, 'Ah'.

Too sad!

I was beginning to wonder if Draco would ever guess the secret. About time!

To hear Alice talk to draco about her other father was really sad.

Hermione needs to stand her ground with Philipa

Alice has her daddy wrapped around her finger. And it's so endearing to see Alice with her grandparents!

there are always times, as parents, that we feel horrid for the way we spoke or yelled at our child or children. you wrote that part wondefully!

so sweet when he calls Alice, Sweet Alice. I really like little touches like that in stories!

Draco is smitten as a kitten!

I meant to get back to this story before now, so forgive me. Still, I want to try to review each chapter, even if I only skim them this time, because I've read this wonderful tale before. This chapter was great becuase you wrote Lucius very Lucius like (??) and you wrote Alice as her age here. Also, like the interaction between Lucius and Hermione.

This was so endearing. The first part, seeing Lucius and Narcissa in the beginning of their love story, was so wonderful to see. Then, the last part nearly brought me to tears (again).

Sweet, sweet, sweet!!

Lucius manipulated everything, but for the good of his family, which is how one would think it would occur.

And with Lily and Sam we go back to the beginning, which is appropriate.

I like seeing the mature Draco and Hermione, still in love, but still them!

The awkwardness was so sweet, actually.

I like that they waited until they were married. For some reason, it felt right with them.

Finally! They are declaring their feelings for each other!

The thought of eveyrone hiding from Narcissa was beyond hilarous!

Bittersweet memories in this one!

It's only that James is so in love with her, now she has to admit feeling the same way toward him!

I love peeking into the past with James and Alice.

I think Alice inherited some of her intelligence from her grandmother, apparently!

Alice and Lucius still have a bond.

The switch from being a Hermione/Draco centric story to an Alice/James one was seamless and I like it so much.

I like the older Alice as much as I like the young one.

I don't know where you come up with these lines... but here's the best of this chapter...

Draco continued, “I mean, my kids will be Malfoys, and I want something more for them! I mean, Weasley looked awful in those Gryffindor colours, don’t you know.”

“Malfoy, have you been drinking?” Harry beseeched. “You’re worrying about all the wrong things, you stupid git. Worry about whether or not they’ll grow up healthy, and strong, and happy, and safe from harm and danger.”

“THANKS POTTER!” Draco shouted. “I thought all I had to worry about was school houses and red and gold clashing with ginger hair! Now you’ve got me worried about all sorts of things, you stupid bastard!”

Yes, a boy would be good!

Is it wrong to say I think I like the romance (relunctant though it is) between Lucius and Narcissa the most?

I am shocked the Harry figured out the magic of the book. One would have thought Hermione would have figured it out instead.

Look, a bee. LOL!!

I loved the way you wrote this showing their different perspectives and point of views!

Draco is more immature than Alice!!

Such confusion and going ons here.

This was so heart wrenching and sad. Poor Hermione. But at least Draco got to know what it was like to have a daugher, finally.

They were classic Granger and Malfoy in this chapter, which I liked alot.

I think Draco's anger is justified, and that he would express it to her is also justified, but I still felt more for her in this chapter than him. Sorry, but I did.

Alice threatening to tell on Draco was classic!

I feel sad that Hermione thinks of that as a good memory, too.

I felt as if I was climbing down the mountain side with them, you wrote it so descriptively.

This chapter was beyond funny!

I felt a bit for Kevin in this... a bit mad!
