it was great. the point of view was really cool. looks like nothing has changed with the malfoys! cant wait for the next one, im always suprised!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I think that one important thing has changed. There has been a shift in the balance of powere between Lucius and Narcissa. As the Battle is now over, so this story is coming to an end. Only two more chapters. -N-
Very well written! Loved it!!!
Author's Response: Thank you. This was the last of the Tales to be written, but it doesn’t fit well at the end. -N-
You absolutely NAILED the Malfoys! These stories just keep getting better and better!
Once again, thank you for updating regularly!

P.S.: Thank so much for responding to my reviews, it makes my day when I see I've received a response!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review.
I’ve decided that I like Cissie, she’s just so sneaky.
The readers of Aurors and Schoolgirls would disagree about regular updates, but with only two more tales left I will be able to concentrate on my other stories
I always reply to reviews. It’s only polite.-N-
WOW you make her sound so much worse then she actually is. And Lucius sound so mad at him self.
You just have this nake for writing very great stories.
Author's Response:
Worse? We don’t really know how bad Narcissa is. We do know that she will ignore the Dark Lord’s wishes to defend her son. Really, Lucius should be mad at himself. He cultivated dozens of subtle links and an air of respectability. Then he a invited a madman into his home.
Thank you-N-
great chapter! I loved how it was narcissa's point of view, she was a great character to show the true values and beliefs of the Malfoys. I also really liked how she wasn't cowering under lucius like in a lot of stories, but she had her own ideas and is craftily plotting the best way to preserved her family (how slytherin of her!) You did a great job of showing that the malfoys don't all of a sudden drop all of their prejudices after the war ends, but instead find the path that will reward them most in the end.
Author's Response:
Thanks. I hope that you’re still not entirely certain about Narcissa’s beliefs. The decision to lie to “The Dark Lord” was hers and hers alone. And I’m not certain that her plea to Snape in HBP was entirely supported by her husband. Draco might like the idea of a “cowering” wife, but it seems to me that Bellatrix and Andromeda are strong in their own way, why should Narcissa be different?-N-
excellent chapter and I believe very true to the charecters.
Author's Response: Thank you. -N-
Another great chapter, liked the way that you gave some virtues to these characters. Loyalty, courage and love are not solely owned by the good side in your stories. Your characters are rounded and believable.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Millicent thinks that Miles is "almost as slippery as Malfoy" but I'm sure that her love and loyalty is true. Why shouldn't it be? -N-
I never even thought about the Slytherins after the Battle of Hogwarts, much less Milicent, Goyle, and Flint!
Thank you for your advice, it really has helped me a lot! I have gone back and rewritten all 50 pages of my fic into something more satisfactory. I currently have three betas (my best mate, my sister, and a fellow HP fanatic from my horse stable) and I'm going to send it in to the beta board also.
Thank you for your advice and keep the stories coming!
Sicerely and gratefully,
AngelEJC
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Marcus, Millicent, Miles and Gregory make such a good team, don't they :-) Good luck with your writing. -N-
Once again, you have typed another favorite. Keep up the good work!
AngelEJC
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Perhaps this would have been a good place to stop, as the remaining chapters are rather depressing. -N-
As always, your characteriziations are perfect. I think I especially like the depth of all the relationships. And it is so great to see everyone else during the Final Battle. And you did a really great job with Nev!

Author's Response:
Debbie, thanks for the review
This chapter brings together several characters and takes us to the end of the Battle (at last). All that remains now is the aftermath.Neil
Oh I loved this chapter, Neil! I've really been looking forward to Neville's turn and this certainly lived up to expectation. You really captured that awkward bravery of Neville's. The way he wavered after Harry spoke to him, could he follow him? He still has that self-doubt that seemed to hinder him when he was a young boy and yet he has grown so much that now, when he makes the right decision, he knows that he can do what it takes to fulfill his duty.
Author's Response: Julia, Thanks for the review. This chapter is one of the longest, because the unchosen one deserves his moment in the spotlight. Neville is as determined as Harry when he puts his mind to something. -N-
Loved what I read so far. Can't wait for you to finish it
Author's Response: Thanks. It’s now looking like there will be four more chapters – Broken Flint, Selfish Mother, Paperwork, and Index. -N-
Love it, love it, love it.
I've been looking here every week just to see if there is an update. I'm so happy there is!
I love your fanfic, really keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Hopefully there won’t be such a long delay before you see the next chapter. -N-
Another great chapter, you can't see the joins, it could be part of DH.
Lovely to have a whole chapter about Neville.
Still think about him in his bunny slippers in Book 1. Great to see how he has grown.
Liked the references to earlier chapters.
Always a good day when the name Northumbrian appears.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review and the kind words. Neville (and Ron, I believe) did a lot of growing up in DH. Neville is one of my favourite characters and he deserves a lot more love. -N-
Best chapter yet in my opinion! I loved how you portrayed Neville, and i thought it was great that this chapter included so many of the others (Draco/Ginny replay...yes!) awesome chapter and looking forward to the next!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. This version of the Draco/Ginny incident has more information regarding the slap. Next: Broken Flint. -N-
i cant wait for the next one !!!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks, I hope that the wait won't be so long. -N-
Awww Nev. So brave in the heat of the fight. Nev never gets enough credit. Another great chapter in this story. Can't wait for the next or what not.
Author's Response: Thank you, You're right, Neville never get's enough credit. The Battle is alnost over, and the next chapters focus on people considerably less brave and noble than Neville. -N-
Brilliant!
Author's Response: Thank you. -N-
it's time for a new chapter!
Author's Response: It is, it’s late, sorry. -N-
Amazing!!!! No one ever thinks of buck beak!!!! i cant wait for more!
Author's Response: There will be either three, four, or five, more chapters, as the battle is now drawing to a close. -N-
