Please please PLEASE(!!!) hurry with the last chapter!!! I So can't wait!!!!!! :)))):)))))
Author's Response: I'm a leeeetle busy right now, but it should be up sometime in December. Thank you, and sorry for the wait. ~Carole~
this is excellent writing. the plot is intense; it's got me on the edge of my seat.
Author's Response: Thank you. I hope you like the rest of the story. ~Carole~
Okay, I've finally managed to read this. SIGH OF RELIEF. I really wanted to read it while on a study break and I nearly cried when I couldn't get through the stupid 6th-7th rating glitch. Actually, I'm fairly sure that some tears did fall. Anyway.
Awwwwwwww this chapter was so much fun to read. I love Weasley family quidditch scenes hehe. I liked the playfully competitive dynamic you set up and the thought of the guys sitting around with a few beers between games was... nice. That word seems so inadequate! I guess what I mean is that I really liked that particular scene. It stood out to me for some reason. I had this very vivid image of them lounging around on the grass in the shade.
Draco and Scorpius's conversation was so well done. I loved the way Draco was trying to manipulate Scorpius into coming home. It was very in character and such a Slytherin thing to do. And the way he just finds it so hard to understand what Scorpius wants fits him so well.
I can't believe this is the penultimate chapter! *cries* I'm not sure I want the next chapter so soon, either... it's like Lavender Blue all over again.
:'(
Author's Response: I knowwwwww. Idon;t want to finish it ... so I'm not going to. I shall leave it hanging forever more. (like everything else - eeeep). Nah, I will write the last chapter. I know what will happen, and who will get killed in the massacre - ooops, tmi tmi.
Julia, thank you so much for the review. Fair warmed the cockles of me 'eart, it did. I had that scene of the men sitting around drinking beer in my head foir a long time, so I'm glad it worked well for you. It was just supposed to show the ... normality, I suppose, of the Weasley family and how unformal they are. Plus it gave Ron and George some banter time - heh heh.
Thanks again ~Carole~
This one was another really good one :)
I really liked how Draco appologised to Scorpius.
The birthdat party was also good.
You NEED,to finish this! Iknow you`re working on the last chapter so if you just suddenly get bored of writing it and abandon it I will be very unhappy!
smilee :D
P.S. Don`t randomly kill someone in the last chapter. :P JUST KIDDING!
-Livie
Author's Response: Tarnation! I shall have to delete the massacre I planned at the Burrow - *sigh* KIDDING. Okay, this won;t be abandoned - I promise you that - but my beta is very busy and I'm not doing this without her. (I'm too scared). Basically, it will be up before Christmas. Thank you so so much for the review, it's much appreciated. ~Carole~
BLOODY OH! I COULDN'T STOP GRINNING STUPIDLY NOW!! AND TO THINK I JUST FINISHED A NASTY UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAM TWO HOURS AGO...this story definitely takes my mind off it! yayayayayyyaayayayy!!! I BLOODY LOVE YOU AND YOUR STORY!!!
And I'm going to say it for the first time since I first read it - PLEASE UPDATE THE MOST AWESOME FIC EVER!!! I'm not used to waiting...hihi, =)))
HIGH!!!!
Author's Response: I had to wait before replying because I was giggling too much. Thank you so so much for such an enthusiastic review; it made my day (and i was having a great day, so your review made it even better) There will be a bit of a delay on the last chapter due to various things, but it should be up in December. Thank youuuuuuu. And I hope the exam was okay *eeep*
I looooove it!!! Somehow, this story just gets better and better and BETTER!! And oh, I've just noticed - it's got an award now (the ribbon is an award, right? I'm new here, tell me I'm not being downright stupid). Anyway (if I'm right about that 'ribbon' or 'award'), you definitely deserve it. (Oh Merlin, I hope I'm not much mistaken)
ANYWAY, I LOVE THE WAY HE'S GETTING ALONG WITH THE POTTERS AND WEASLEYS!!! YOU'RE AMAZING, YOU ARE! ♥
Author's Response: Oh, the ribbon - yay. It's a featured story., which means the mods picked it out as one to read - so very pleased by that. I thought Scorpy should see what a normal and rather mad family are like. He's having fun atm. Thank you so mcuh for all your reviews,. It means a lot. ~Carole~
Oh Draco.
I love the way you've written him. So snarky, so high and mighty, but so in love with Astoria. And yay for family peace again! I was wondering how that was going to resolve and I'm happy with the way it did.
The Quidditch games were so lovely to read :). I love watching Harry and Ron and Scorpius interact…and I'm glad there was some of Ron in this chapter too. The entire story's really about him, obviously, so why he hasn't had a main part until now is beyond me… ;)
I DON'T WANT THE END! Okay, I want another chapter. But this is going to be just as sad as saying goodbye to Lavender, Blue. Make it a looooooong chapter. 40k words. That's an order.
xx Ariana
Author's Response: Draco amuses me. Well, my Draco does. Book Draco is a git. He does love Astoria, but deserves to go through the mill a bit for being so horrible to Scorpius. Yes, I agree about Ron, that was a bad bad error on my part. I will definitely devote the last chapter only to him. Thank youuuuuu ~Carole~
I love Truckle!!
Author's Response: So do I. -hee hee-
OH MY GODRIC!! I love you, gurl!!! Yayayayayayayy!! ♥
Author's Response: *bows* Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu. I liked this chapter, too. ~Carole~
I know of a FABULOUS way to deal with not wanting the story to end. Don't end it!
Or, better yet, pick it up a few years down the road.
I'd be quite happy with either.
Seriously, though, this continues to be an entertaining and well written story. Couldn't Narcissa just die? I don't get her. Lucius was pure evil, through and through and incapable of change, but she loved her son enough to lie to Voldemort, then, turns around and reverts to the bigoted, pure-blood form that nearly cost her everything. How about a happy ending with that last chapter?
Congrats on another great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. Um, well, I want to end this story, but I will probbaly write some more that is compliant with High. I have a few ideas .... I think Narcissa would only defy Voldemort for Draco. Scorpius is possibly too much like his mum for Narcissa to be truly proud of, and I think she always believed in the pure-blood ideals. Thanks again. ~Carole~
Yay, you updated! But I'm sad there's only one chapter left. I've become really attached to Scorpius lately and I thought the matches were written very well.
I also liked that Draco sort of redeemed himself for me. Yeah, he did the emotional blackmail and everything, but he seemed to have seen sense at the end. Which I think is more in character.
I can't believe this is the penultimate chapter. I don't want it to end either :( But I'm glad you're doing spin-offs.
Well done as usual :)
Author's Response: Thankieeeees. Yes, I really should click that new document open and start writing it. It was the same with Lavender, I seem to remember. Draco makes me laugh - well my version does - book Draco is a git! Thanks again for the review and I'm glad you liked the Quidditch. ~Carole~
I love your story! Really. This is like, my second favorite Scorpius/Lily story. My favorite ('The Inquisitor's Son', on Fanfiction.Net) is also written in Scorpius' POV. I think it's much fascinating to read fics on a man's point of view, like reading a Lily/James fic with James' POV, or reading a Dramione on Draco's POV.
And you've done writing this beautifully as far as I'm concerned. I'm still loving it. And you deserve every review you receive, even if (from your end notes) you've lost more than a hundred. :)
Author's Response: I like writing from a male POV as well, oddly. If you like Dramione, I have a story called Shrouds which you might like. The POV is shared between Draco and Hermione, though. For James/Lily stories, there's a great author here called gmariam who has written a lot of J/L. Friendly Competition and One to Remember are from James' POV. Her other stories are more mixed between James and Lily. Any way - tahnk you for the review. ~Carole~
I wonder how hard it was to be in the position he was in...Good chapter, by the way! :D
Author's Response: Thank youuuuu # New Chapter up, by the way. ~Carole~
Oh, I love how great things happen when Teddy appears in a chapter :)
Author's Response: I'm not ashamed to admit it, but Teddy came close to stealing the story away from Scorpius at one point. When this is finished, there will be some spin-offs and Teddy will be in them at some point. I loved his Mum and Dad so much in the books, so I want good things for him. Thanks again ~Carole~
Hey! I'm back to reading this again after a busy week! Yay!
This story just gets better and greater the more I continue reading (even if I've stopped reading this for a few days)! I was just wondering about what'll happen to Scorpius and Lily now that their parents know about them, especially Scorpius'...
I guess I should just continue reading to find out =)))
Author's Response: I missed you - hee hee. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Yes, you need to keep reading to find out ... ~Carole~
That was a really funny one!
You need to write more chapters!!!!!
You're a really good writer and I'm really enjoying the story!
Keep writing- please?
Author's Response: There are, I'm afraid, only two more chapters of this story. One is written and ready to go (I'm having problems with the blooming formatting on the boards) The other is in progress. However, I will probably write some oneshots which are compliant with this, and have recently had a thought about something fore focused on James and Scorpius (not as a couple). So, although High is nearly over, their stories haven't quite ended for me. Thank you so much for all your reviews. Once I get the coding stuff fixed, I'll get the next chapter posted.
No Victorieis really funny!
Only three more chapters? D:
-Livie
Author's Response: I like Victoire as well. Yes, only three more chapters, but spin offs probably.
Poor Scorpius!
It would be so hard to have a childhood like that! Plus he remembers it all! That would be horrible!
Poor Scorpius, now I feel really bad for him!
-Livie
Author's Response: I feel sorry for him, too. But he has Lily and Teddy in his life now. ~Carole~
This is lovely! I like how Scorpius reminds me of Draco, while Lily is a fresh breath of air (a nice change from all the Dramione I read). I don't have time to write a longer review, because I have to get to the next part, so I'll just say great job!
Author's Response: Thank you. Scorpius is a bit like Draco, I agree, but he has a lot of Astoria in him as well. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. ~Carole~
Why were there those weird question marks?
And why was there the really big space at the end of the chapter???
Oh and this story is starting to make me really hate the malfoys but then really like Scorpius. I mean it's not his fault!!!
-Livie
Author's Response: There's a formatting problem on MNFF that affects me when I edit. I am loathe to go in and correct the space at the end in case it cocks it up even more. I have mentioned this is the summary, but hope it didn;t ruin the enjoyment of the chapter for you.
