    But this can't be the end of the stories about the family.

    I am glad that Draco ended up okay.

    Author's Response:

    It's not, I have a few others planned.

    Draco, being raised by Narcissa, without Lucius' influence, would turn out to be different than in canon, because most of Draco's problems seemed to stem from his father's influence.  Take away Lucius and you have a better Draco, in my opinion. 

    One that might even be allowed to date Lexy in the future.

    Lexy dating . . .poor Severus, he really Will develop an ulcer, LOL! And I pity the poor guy that tries to date Eileen . . .he'll end up deocrating the front door.

    And the last chapter of "Dogsitter" is posted, if you haven't read it yet.  I almost double posted there.

    What a beautiful Christmas story!

    I loved the way the kids were able to give Severus what he asked for after some hard work and Eileen is precious. Her making Draco play dolls with her was just too funny, I was ROFLMA! And making gingerbread houses is one of my favorite activities.

    Author's Response: Mine too, they're such fun, even if you're not a kid anymore.

    Aw! I love little Eileen, what a little scamp!

    I knew that you would come up with a great Christmas story! Now I'm really anxious, and I love the idea of building a gingerbread house as a family acitivity! Christmas must be fun at your house!

    Author's Response:

    yeah, she's something else.  Very similar to myself when I was little.

    The gingerbread house is very fun to make.  In the beginning mom used to bake the gingerbread house and we had to assemble it with some kind of special icing and let it dry overnight, but now you can buy already assembled gingerbread houses at your local craft store or supermarket.  They come with everything you need including candy, but we always get extra candy and make extra icing.  It was so much fun we kept doing it year after year, and my nephew who is now 17 still makes one and so do I sometimes.

    Another great one..........I'd love to see this family through adolescence.

    Thanks again

    Author's Response: You will, I have plans for another full length novel soon, with 14 year old Harry and Lexy and five year old Eileen, plus Inky, all their friends, and Severus and Alaina.  This was a fun story to write and hopefully people will like the message in it. Thanks for reviewing.

    Excellent.

    I liked the nickname, Snippett. And later, the little bit about LeeLee was cute.

    I quite liked Sev's 'rant' at the kids. I could almost hear it. -grin- I also liked Alaina going in and talking to Lexy and Harry, too. I especially liked that she explained about the stress Sev was under, but did the official HAVE to be Delores Umbridge.? -- grrrr -- She's a nasty piece of work, no matter in what capacity she works.

    And then there's Fudge -- what in Merlin's name is HE doing in office.?!

    You hd me a little worried there when Draco threw icing at Ron. I as almost sure a full-blown food fight was about to ensue. I'm glad cooler heads prevailed. I had to laugh at Eilene copying Draco. That was SO three-years-old. Well done.

    That was a sweet story. I really quite enjoyed it.

    Now -- that ending begs the question: just how long did peace and harmony last.? LOL

    Thank you.

    Author's Response:

    Snippet was what my dad used to call me when I was a little kid, because I was no bigger than a snippet of something.

    Sev's rant was patterned after many a lecture my dad gave all of us kids at one time or another.  I wanted to show Alaina's parenting skills as well and that they do things as partners, so Sev isn't always the bad guy.

    I hate Umbridge and she'll be back in a future story . . .the wicked witch.

    Dumb people voted for Fudge that's all I can say.

    if there had been a food fight, Severus would have committed murder. Eileen throwing candy at he rbrother was bad enough, LOL!

    How long did the peace last . . .ummm . . .I'll leave that up to you to figure it out.  But I'd have to say not much after the holidays, given the three of them.  Oh the joys of children, LOL!

    That sounds like my kids. I loved how they followed through on their promise.

    Author's Response: yeah, I think kids are all like that at one time or another.  I'm glad you liked it1

    If only my kids would do that, I know they love each other... deep down... very deep mind you. They are just 2 very different and wonderful people.. who happen to be complete opposites. Merry Christmas (hey that's the first time I've said that this year.

    Author's Response: Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! That's true of some of my nephews too, they're brothers, but very different people.  And that's what makes a family.
