THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111ONEONE

Too many funny things to describe. Jeez, I wish I updated my fic as often as you did. Alas, school is draining my creative juices.

You see, I also have a certain mini-veela in my fic, just of slightly different character.

Thank you, and Draco appreciates that comment, even though he doesn't think veelas are as pretty as he is.
Draco: Smexi-ER? I'm THE SMEXIEST, lady!

That was such a cute way to sign your post! Me likeyy. =DD


Welcome to the club, hunny. =pp
Thank you. You're too sweet.
Thank you, and don't worry about that, luff. Keep writing - I know there are times when every writer feels like they're stuck, or don't have anything good to put on paper [or the computer screen], but persistence is the key. You'll hit gold before you know it.
A certain mini-veela? Do you mean .... DRACODRACODRACO?

Page fourteen?

Wow, you move fast, Maxo.

But congratz!

Love,
~~Jay~~

Hehe, thank you cuz. =DD

Right....... Coz I really need to review.......!!!

Quote:

“The octave of aetheral vibrations becomes a gorgeous rainbow.”

Quote:

There was the crunch of wooden splinters, the crunch of the little bones in his hand breaking – and a yell of pain that was the direct follow-up of the last crunch.

No wayyy! He's hurt himself!

Quote:

“We’ve read about you!” he exclaimed. “You’re the slimy-haired dude who invented the Golden Snitch after losing an eye, fighting muggles! Bowman Wright, the One-Eyed Hero!”

I luv how you combined cannon and fanon here, Maxo! Bowman Wright's an original character right? Bu the one-eyed hero bit...?

Quote:

Bottom line is, help me and the world will remember you as the man who aided the world’s most beautiful guy ever.”

So cheerful in times of crisis! That's my Draco!

Quote:

Bowman chuckled. “You look like a mini-veela, boy, but you’re on.”

Mwahahaha......... Mini veela! LOL, awesome! Luved this bit, Maxo!

Quote:

The men’s jaws dropped open as they took one good look around the cell (“Black magic!” they screamed, pointing to the door that had once been window), Bowman and Malfoy seemed to come an instinctive agreement to rush outside (“The door!”), one of the men grabbed at the back of Malfoy’s robes (thoughts along the lines of “Oooh, shiny cloth,” perhaps?), Malfoy was sent, hurling backwards, and crashed into a wall (His already broken fist suffered further, very painful damage), Bowman turned around with some difficulty, (“Ooof, I really need to lose some weight!”), one of the men stuck a burning stick into his face (there was an excruciating yell), and then there was silence.

Oooohhhz. One of fave parts in the story, this! Very well-written, serious and funny at the same time! Good job, chicka!

Quote:

Malfoy’s wand flew into his cupped hands the same moment as a dozen men stepped into the room, their eyes in harmony with a collective hatred for magic, their countenances writ with distaste fierier than the fires they carried.

Nooooo!!!!!!!! More bad men are here!

Love,
~~Jay~~

Thank youuu, and yes, that's it!

I stole him from JKR's imagination, and infused a little... non-cannnonnh into him. =DD
Thanks a bunch, luff. Glad to know you enjoyed the chapter. ^___________^
Unfortunately, yes. =[

Awwwz.

I hope Draco will be alright.

Post when you can. Soon.

Love,
~~Jay~~

You forgot Ginny.
Teehee, will try my best. =]

Oops. I haven't commented yet.
But you move through FFs fast.
I'm getting through the entries though and they are very good naturally
PAMS even though I'm net even finished reading all of these.

I didn't know you were supposed to. Welcome to CK, sweetie. =DD

Thank you. It was really unexpected, to see you here.

Right! Maxo as it so happens I haven't reviewed two chapters and I THINK I'm about to review them. I mean, if I've already reviewed the ones I'm about to sorry but you should know it can happen. I HAVE read the chapters before...... so I really dun remembahh...

Quote:

Leonti

I know what that means after readin' the chapter YAY!

Quote:

“You look highly amusing, Weasley, but I don’t think I can take this much longer without being sick.”

Quote:

“I didn’t grab you for an illicit midnight snog, if that’s what you’re wondering,” he said, sounding amused by the prospect.

He's SO HOT! I mean even his sarcasm is awesome.

Quote:

“Cry your eyes out?” Malfoy suggested, still amused. “You were freezing, Weasley, so I gave you my robe. Now get out of my face, you look worse-off than the bush Granger carries on her head.”

Haha... I bet it took him ages to force that out of his mouth! No wonder he accompanied that with a nasty comment.... he doesn't want to sound all "helpful" does he?

Quote:

“I mean, he was an adorable Lion King Man and all, but he seemed pretty hungry.”

Veryyy funny, Maxo!

Quote:

“Of course I was,” he said, his eyes glinting malevolently. “I was right behind the trees because I wanted to see you naked.”

Mwaha... Talk about evil and SMEXY! I luv him!

Quote:

“Life-saver?” he suggested, looking amused. “Mr. Perfect? You-Know-What God?”

You know what God? Does that mean what I think it means Maxo? Lolz.... he is SOME guyy. How can Ginny handle him?

Quote:

If I have to put up with him any more, she thought to herself. I'm going to run off with that stray donkey we saw earlier.

Hey there Mr. Donkey!!!!!

Love,
~~Jay~~

Teehee, that's alright, hunny. =DD
YUS! I've always imagined that Draco has a "protect others" side but, in the books, he doesn't really get a chance to show it - and now, that he DOES begin to realize he has that side, he doesn't want to admit that... you know, he can feel like he has to protect other people. [/end of silly ramble]


I think so. =p

Oooohz, I get what you're saying about Draco! There just haven't been many times when he was called on to REALLY protect others. :O :O :O

Post soooooooon, I'll be here!!!

Love,
~~Jay~~

... Me is updating. =DD

Chapter #12
The Fire of Regelia
“There is a Choreographer in the wings.”

Half a dozen stunners and a few other spells later, the coast was clear. A window that opened outside showed it was early evening, and Malfoy’s fist throbbed painfully. Bowman was adamant they visit a healer.

“I can’t,” Malfoy said, through gritted teeth. It took an effort not to wince with the pain and, rather than any better, Bowman ’s repeated entreaties were making him feel worse, much worse. “I have to –”

“You can’t find your girlfriend in that state!” Bowman said furiously. “Besides, they don’t burn anybody in the day, not here in the temple of Regelia, she’s going to be safe till nightfall –”

“She’s not my girlfriend, the stupid blood-traitor!” Malfoy cut across hotly. The nerve of this man! How could he, how dare he, link Lord Malfoy to some lowly girl – that blood traitor – that – that –

For a second, Bowman surveyed him through one, unburnt eye. “You don’t seem so worried about her,” he said finally. “Beats me why you want to find her when you find her a stupid – what was the word? Ah yes – blood-traitor." It was clear that the last term was distasteful to him, and he did not hold the same views on pureblood-elitism and blood-purity as Draco Malfoy. "But you have your wand, boy, and I don’t think you need me anymore.”

He shrugged, Malfoy opened his mouth to respond, and Bowman had disapparated, immaterialized into thin air - gone.

Gone. Malfoy realized it with a hollow, sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. The one wizard he had managed to find, the only person who might help him find a way to fix his time-turner, was gone. His right hand – the source of the awful pain rankling his nerves – suddenly felt ten times worse. He winced, sat down against a wall and then stood up again.

Outside, night began to fall in thick rolls of black.



His pendant, coupled with the Noventus Curse, helped him find the way to her cell. It was the first door in a narrow, cold corridor, and the pendant shook so hard near it, he had to take the curse off it. For many long moments, he stood a little way from the beginning of the corridor, and his mind was a whirlwind of questions, a storm of 'whys' he did not wish to answer.

Why - why indeed? There was no need to bother about her - he could leave now, find Bowman Wright, and discover a way back to Hogwarts, without the company of the huge bother that was Ginevra Weasley. Why, then, was he here, why then did he -- almost care what happened to her?

Some say - although it is disputed whether their words are entirely true - that men are born protectors, and perhaps that was what Draco Malfoy now realized. Much as he hated to admit it, he knew he was falling into an aspect of his personality that he, himself, had not known of. Or perhaps - no, definitely - had known, but always repressed because he knew it would come to no good in the climate he resided in - his father, mad with his desire for power and authority, would never treat his son's better instincts in a good way. Draco was not inherently good, like a lot of people, but he was also not the dark a lot of people were - and he knew that now, knew that he could not let a person - a girl - suffer a cruel death, when he knew there was a good chance he could save her, a tiny chance that she may even hold her as her last hope, may even be depending on him.

Nobody had depended on him like this, before.

He took a deep breath, and then took a step forward. The door to her cell was barred shut but, bearing a wand, Malfoy knew that posed no real difficulty -- It was the appearance of a dim light at the far end of the corridor, indeed, that made him step back into the shadows.

As the faint lamp came closer, Malfoy could hear heavy steps in its company. Presently, a man appeared, a bunch of keys in his hand. These he clicked into the door’s lock - an ancient device that could do little good - and the heavy thing swung open. Lantern and man went inside, and Malfoy risked a step forward, till he was in a position from which he could see without being seen.



Ginny looked up as the door creaked open, momentarily forgetting the pain that had shot across her skull, the moment she had opened her eyes – which was, incidentally, mere moments ago. Her gaze narrowed in loathing as she surveyed the room, a cold cell with stone walls, before taking in the man who held the lamp. In the dim light, she could barely make out his features, but she could tell he had mean eyes, a greedy sort of longing written in his expressions.

She did not like the way he looked at her, and liked it less when he took a step towards her. “What do you want?” she asked rudely.

The man grinned, a malevolent grin and, at that moment, she actually missed that son of a coward, Malfoy. Malevolent, his grins had been too, but this man’s was hungry, a strange sort of hunger that seemed as if it could only grow, never diminish. What is he, a descendant of the family of stray donkeys? she thought furiously -- she hated the way he looked at her but (unlike the case had been with Malfoy) her hands were bound – the lenience with him had probably been because muggles considered witches worse than wizards, and more capable of black magic - and there was little she could do about it.

“What do I want?” The man asked, with a short laugh devoid of all humour. “You’re next, didn’t I just say so, witch?” His eyes were still fixed on her in a hungry, demeaning way. “They’re going to burn the black-haired man, then they’re going to burn you.”

Black-haired man? Then he doesn’t know Bowman’s escaped, Malfoy thought to himself. He inspected Ginny to see whether she was afraid, but it was clear fear was the last thing on her mind. She stood up, glared at the man in her cell. “If they’re going to burn some other man first,” she said scathingly. “What the HELL are you doing here, you –”

The swearwords flew and, behind the door, Malfoy winced, impressed against his will by her fluency. But she did, after all, have six elder brothers.

The man, however, only grinned. “You’re a beautiful thing, aren’t you?” He asked, raising his lamp so that it shone on her hair. The fiery red, catching the light, seemed to dance with silken luminosity, and the man grinned again. “It’s a shame, they’re going to burn you. Should have taken that magic stick of yours and given you as a slave to me, witch.”

He spat at her face and Ginny hurled herself at him in anger. But he was stronger, and took this as a chance. The man’s arms locked around her shoulders, and Ginny suddenly realized exactly what he wanted to do. “Don’t you dare touch me again,” she said, sinking her teeth into his shoulders - crude though the defense was, it worked wonderfully: the man gave a yell and let go. Angry at having been beaten back, he advanced again, this time highly wrathfully.

“You’re going to pay,” he said savagely, as she stood her ground, her chest heaving in fury. “You, little –”

“Swearword worse than imaginable,” Malfoy cut through coolly, stepping out from behind the door. The man in the room, taken by surprise to see him, let go of the lantern. It crashed to the floor, little flames leaping from within it. They caught on the wooden door, the little tongues of spark, and the fire that began to rage spread faster than Malfoy could have imagined it would.

The man whose fault the situation was screamed at the top of his lungs as he tried to flee, tripped over Malfoy’s outstretched leg -- and fell headfirst into the fire.

Ginny winced as the flames enveloped the man and yowls of pain rang along the stone walls of her recent prison. Her world spun, tilted, and the ground rushed to meet her in a blaze of red as fiery as her hair. The last thought she had, before darkness washed over her, was:

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M BLACKING OUT AGAIN!

Yes, something along those lines. =DD I tried to explain it in the update, though I'm not sure if I did a good enough job. Buttt... practice makes perfect!




* * * I love y'all. <3
