Calliope and Thalia and Their Inspiration by lucilla_pauie

Story Notes: Only very loosely based on The Parent Trap. Began pre-DH and continued only with HBP-compliance (regarding certain character deaths). This story has a prequel-y companion, The Abduction of Persephone

I hope this makes up for the near abandonment, dear readers. After being blocked toward the middle because of my lack of pranks in store, the other half was written in three hours, and it was such a fun three hours wherein I laughed so much in surprise and glee. Once again, what some writers say about the story moving by itself has been proven to me! Hee.

Abject apologies for an update so long in coming. Been busy and blocked and blocked and busy. But now—well, I don’t want to jinx it, but I can safely say I seem to be on a roll because this chapter has two thousand more words I had to cut and place instead in the next update. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Yep, I'm STILL writing this story and Then Somebody Bends. :) Thank you, modlies, for featuring this story. Thank you to all you faithful readers, especially those of you who drop a line. Disclaimer: Harry Potter and the Parent Trap (whose plot I very loosely follow in this story) do not belong to me, or else I'll be too busy living the good life to take the time to write fan fiction. :))

My apologies for this mad update. Mad because of the ginormous gap between this and last one. Sorreh! I’ve now entered an agreement none would damn. An agreement with my friend/beta, Misdemeanor1331, that I shall update every week on pain of... oh, just pain. I’m not good with pain! That said, thank you for the nudge and shove and threats, Mel! And excuse my new favourite word. Ginormous. Just let me get it out of my system. :D
16. Waxing poetic... by lucilla_pauie [ - ] (3873 words)
Don’t set high expectations for this. By ‘waxing poetic’, I only mean tender, tears-in-the-eyes reminiscing. Sentimental claptrap. I hope it's all right and doesn't make anyone gag. I don’t think I can write ‘poetic’. But the next chapter is “...apoplectic.” And yes, the characters will be. *cackles*

Updated sooner than my weekly deadline! Arentcha impressed, Mel? :D And oh, how could I forget? This chapter would be all the richer if supplemented by the prologue-y story I'll post here before May ends. It's Dramione's Tenth Anniversary month, you know! A whole decade it's been since the Draco's knickers comment launched a caravel of lovey-dovey goodness!

And thank you so much to you, reader-reviewers, for your patience and constant affirmations, particularly you, Hollie/DromineLove4eva.

I give you this monster of a chapter as a peace offering. I wrote a piece for the dramione remix, and it dominated my life for the better part of four weeks. Made me contract Dramionitis. So I went on a holiday for a bit. Read Eva Ibbotson and a lot of other books and now I’m back. And CATATI’s also back to regular programming, an update every week, although not the size of this one. This is an exception. This is me saying sorry, thank you, please come back, thank you!

And yep, this is also me cramming every last bit of Belize in here so I can get back to Hogwarts before I give myself (and you) Belize-itis, too.
