    Yes, they are recreating the group...you know, couldn't put it down and all the rest refers to your fanfic too. I've been reading since 7pm the previous night - it's 5:30am now.

    Yes, I DO have to go to work soon but it's been worth it.

    WOW.  Impressed with your marathoning abilities!  :D

    I can see some of the broken bits of Draco being put together with each explanation that Hermione gives him as well as her acceptance of what he explains to her. Also, I like how the three different forms of apology not only highlight the differences in Harry, Hermoine and Ron but also highlight three different aspects of Draco's personality. It really emphasizes that he's a real, interesting and complicated person, just like every other character in this story.

    I like the Thermos Theros potion; too bad its only fictional as I'm one of those people who get urge to go for picnics in the dead of winter and everyone thinks I'm crazy.

    I love how Hermione is oblivious to Harry's stte of undress till the very end of the first scene and then how the boys all play Madame Pomfrey in supportof Hermione's picnic idea. Marauder's Redux, indeed.

    It doesn't seem that much is happenig here as far as action goes but there's a lot of things happening internally. I really liked how Draco figured out a humourous and non-embrassing way to settle Ron's minor upset about Hermione giving Slytherin points. That little devilish glint in his eye tells me that his wicked sense of humour is still there despite everything. And his impression of Severus was priceless!

    I assume that Severus has Draco's wand? For some reason, the idea of Dumbledore having it makes me uncomfortable. Perhaps it's because I feel that Severus is keeping it from him until he is more emotionally stble while Dumbledore, for all his kindness would be keeping it to use as a bribe to get Draco to agree to spy (even though if I recall correctly he's already agreed to it during his talk with Severus that time in the Hospital Wing). Severus' motives seem more... pure? kind?

    Thanks for the rec. Of Arms and the Man and Armistice are on my "Fics I Have to Read" list.

    On to the next chapter! Oh, by the way, my earlier comment about so much action taking place in a month wasn't a complaint. I know quite well how events--expecially unexpected ones--can fill a month even in the real world.

    Author's Response:

    *sigh*  Yes, but you'll notice it's soon the end of the school year.  How did that happen in a month, I ask you?

    Willing suspension of disbelief would have one say, 'well.  Just because there's the Leaving Feast doesn't mean that no time passed in between...'  And that was how I meant it, but it REALLY doesn't come across that way.  It comes across as BAM!  1 mo = 1 yr.  Because I, the author, do declare it!  ;)

    Does Severus have Draco's wand?  I don't remember, but it is safe to say, given my view of events that Dumbledore definitely does NOT have it.
