Thank you very much! I'm glad you (basically) enjoyed it!
I agree with what you said re: Malfoy. I always hesitate before I write about Lucius somehow wriggling free to be the evildoer again (had the same hesitation with my other fic involving Draco as the baddie), but in the end, I always end up deciding that the Malfoys are simply too perfect as the villains to resist using them. It is also implied in the story that Lucius' "escape" is rather precarious and he knows it. I'm hoping someone else down the line will use that bit of information!

I loved the sense of frustrated rage you convey here, and I found myself pounding my desk and kicking my feet whenever Fudge or Malfoy opened their damned mouths. I absolutely love the way you ended the chapter, as well. Poor Snape! I wonder what's going to happen next?

Thank you, thank you! I'm so relieved people are enjoying it! I felt the same frustration as I was writing it and kept wanting a large vat of oil to mysteriously appear above their heads!

Thank you very much! But don't be anxious! I'm sure the next chapter will be wonderful! I have to confess that I am soooooo excited to read it! *jumps up and down at the pure excitement of doing her first roundrobin*

Wonderful job, dear! Just a fabulous beginning.
Malfoy as the villian is good, much better than Malfoy being the good guy. But my only concern is, wouldn't they know by now that Malfoy was a traitor since he was taken to Azkaban at the end of OotP, they would have surely seen the Dark Mark. Or is this not taking the "end" of OotP in account?

Thank you very much! I was a bit nervous writing this, being my first roundrobin and all. As for the Malfoy thing, I left a huge hint in the story (Draco had been correct when he had said that dealings and manoeuvrings took place behind closed doors that none of them would ever know the full extent of) that I was hoping someone would run with down the line. The implication being that however he managed to get free from Azkaban, his freedom is rather tenuous at best and likely dependent upon Snape being "hushed up". There's nothing better than a villain who's desperate!
Oh!! Soooo sorry it took me this long to read this! It's bloody FABULOUS!! I love how you've developed it, and left so much room for the authors that follow you to work with. Can't wait for my turn!
*squeals with glee and jumps up and down* Thanks you so much! I'm glad you like it! I honestly can't wait to see where people take this. Each chapter is going to feel like Christmas morning!
