As of 7/9/2010, I will no longer be posting any fiction here at Mugglenet. I'm still writing, and will finish all of my stories, but, honestly, I'm tired of putting up with this website. All you readers and especially reviewers - you've all been absolutely fantastic, and I hope you'll continue to follow TBW, even if it isn't at this site. I'll still respond to reviews submitted here, and I'll leave these 18 chapters up indefinitely, but that's about as active as I'll be over here. Any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me. My penname s the same everywhere in this fandom, including my yahoo & msn instant messenger screennaes, and on livejournal.

A Child's Gift by WinkeeJR
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Draco wanted to get away. He needed to get away from all the things that reminded him everyday of the mistakes he had made and the one he had lost. He found the perfect spot too, a small town in Wyoming, USA, a place called Nowhere. A perfect name as far as he was concerned. Magic, fate has a way of finding you no matter where you go though.
Date: 08/28/07 Title: Chapter 24: Are Ye Lost
That was an amazing chapter. I actually liked that you portrayed a more vulnerable side of Hermione, it will make the glorious return of her courage and cunning that much more exciting. I hope Abby and Aria don't do anything else as stupid as leave again...
Author's Response: Thank you. Abby and Aria are in good hands and paws.
Date: 08/28/07 Title: Chapter 25: Tricky Tricks
Awesome chapter. I'm glad that Draco and Co. finally have a lead to Hermione's whereabouts. I know you're working a lot of angles with this story, but I like Draco's pov best...
Author's Response: I do as well, like Draco\'s POV best, but there are things he doesn\'t see or hear that the reader must know.
Date: 11/05/07 Title: Chapter 31: Plans Galore
Ahh! They're finally tying the knot!! Justice has gone 'round the twist, now, hasn't she? I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Date: 09/07/07 Title: Chapter 26: Terror and Joy
AH! You've left me sitting on the edge of my chair in suspense (again). I hope Draco and Harry find Hermione, but if past chapters are any indication, it won't be that simple. So many questions left unanswered! Please hurry and update! ;)
Author's Response: I\'m sorry, I hope the edge of you seat is not to uncomfortable. Thanks for the review.
Date: 09/17/07 Title: Chapter 27: Kiss Her!
All Hail the Cliff Hanger Queen! It was a fantastic chapter, but I must admit that I'm in the same boat as your beta. You have some serious compensating to do in the next chapter, Queenie, and don't you forget it :)
Author's Response: LOL! I won\'t forget. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Date: 11/27/07 Title: Chapter 32: One, Two, Three, Four
AH! *huffs indignantly* How could you leave us hanging like that!? You go and get me all excited, and then - nothing. Please, please hurry and update. I can't wait!
Author's Response: Sorry. I did mention awhile ago that I like cliffhangers. To bad this wasn\'t just a book, huh, then no cliffies. Ah, well.
The Broken Soul by silverfox
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Dumbledore is dead and Harry is left alone… or is he? An unexpected ally appears to help Harry in his quest to defeat Voldemort. But Harry is running out of time and Voldemort is pressing down hard. He’s determined to get rid of his last remaining obstacle, Harry Potter. Can Harry find all the Horcruxes before it is too late, even with a new ally? The story will include romance, adventure, mystery, murder, betrayal and much more. There will be also some unexpected twists. This story has been abandoned. See the finished version at HPFF!
Date: 07/16/07 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Fifth Horcrux
I really liked the end, all mysterious-like...
Author's Response: Dear Reader,
I am writing to inform you that I will no longer be updating my story The Broken Soul on Mugglenet. This decision was a tough one, but I have decided that due to the unfriendliness of Mugglenet submission policies and my limited time schedule (I will be having a baby in a few months) this is necessary. I find it too much of a hassle to submit my chapter, wait for weeks on end to have it validated, and then have it rejected for very small details or have the chapter validated and not show as validated on the website. If the latter happens then the moderator has to send the error off to a coder to fix which can take a day to a week or more. I understand that Mugglenet is busy and that they have a lot of submissions to go through, but I don’t think it is fair for such long waits for the readers or myself. So I will be abandoning this story, but don’t get too upset because my story is posted on HPFF (and it’s completed!). So instead of messing with two websites, I will now only have to deal with one. If you would like to continue to read my story click, on the following link, which will take you to my author page http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewuser.php?showuid=62783. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause for you. I appreciate you as a reader and that is why I am emailing you to let you know of what will be happening. I hope to see you on HPFF!

Skeletons in the Closet by Merlynne
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Centered around Draco Malfoy seven years after the Last Battle and his graduation from Hogwarts. He is working for the Order of the Phoenix and finds himself feeling out of place and more than a little useless. He cannot escape the things he's done or the people he used to care for. As Draco attempts to turn a new page, he is introduced to a witch who will have considerable impact on him. Contains some romance, ships too numerous to mention all of--Draco/OC, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione for starters.
Date: 11/22/07 Title: Chapter 20: Ten Days
First of all, l almost screamed when I saw that this was finally updated! I friggin love this story! But you knew that already :)
This was very interesting. I'm curious as to why you showed us the conversation between Ginny and Ron. In any other fic, Draco working as a mail sorter at the MoM would be laughable, but now it's just sad. Poor Draco, I hope something good comes of it. I can't wait to find out what Meleia (and to some extent, Zabini) has been up to. I'm positively squirming with anticipation. I'm so happy you're posting again :)
I don't know if you're American, but Happy Thanksgiving! It's the thought that counts, right?
Author's Response: Canadian...so it\'s belated but what the hey. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I\'m glad you\'re still following after that long hiatus. I\'ll be posting with fairly decent intervals now...I just gotta write the last bit.
Thanks for the review!
Date: 07/07/07 Title: Chapter 12: Owls
Good stuff. Were you a spy in another life?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Alas, I don\'t think I was ever a spy.
Date: 12/12/07 Title: Chapter 25: Memories
Eek! Double eek! That was so exciting! Meleia is SO badass. I hope you get into what her Vampire abilities are in greater depth some time in the future. And her Partronus is a dragon! How sweet. She loves our Draco. *sigh* As ever, fabulous chapter. I can't wait for the next one :)
Author's Response: I\'m actually writing a prequel just about her. :P I couldn\'t resist.
The next chapter shouldn\'t be long: It\'s written and just needs to be touched up. Thanks for the review! I\'m so thrilled you\'ve followed this story so closely. Your reviews always make me smile.
Date: 11/22/07 Title: Chapter 21: Falling Out
Wow, that was intense - just the way I like them :) Stupid Harry. I know Draco was a bit reckless with the address, but still... *sigh* I feel the need to give Draco a hug.
At last! Some real excitement! I can't wait to learn what Draco does with the information he just obtained? I doubt the Order would take him seriously, or the Minister himself for that matter.
Bless you for updating again. Twice in one day... I didn't even think that was possible on Mugglenet. Hopefully the next one will come quickly. I'm absolutely *dying* to know what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank the moderators for being so very speedy! I was shocked myself at how fast this went through. Yes, things should be getting more intense from here on in.
Date: 11/30/07 Title: Chapter 24: Another Day
Meleia smirked. “That’s as close as you’ll ever come to saying ‘I love you,’ isn’t it, Malfoy?”
Draco flushed. “Just go, Varias.”
I loved it. Absolutely loved it. The suspense was killing me (and still is), but I know you won't disappoint :) I'm practically bouncing in my seat right now; I'm so excited. I was surprised there were so many members of the Order there. Did Luna ask them, or do they all work there? Are Dean, Zacharias and Blaise Aurors? I don't remember.
I'm loving Draco and Meleia's interactions, as usual. She gets under his skin so easily. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Dean\'s an Auror, but Zach and Blaise are just Order members...but it\'s much the same, usually. I\'m glad you\'re enjoying Draco/Meleia. They\'re a delight to write. I\'m still having internet problems, but the next chapter shouldn\'t be long.
Date: 09/09/07 Title: Chapter 18: Bottled Death
OH MY GOD! You can't kill Draco! I forbid you! If you don't update, asap, I think I might die from an anxiety induced heart attack. I'm begging you...please, please, please dont kill Draco.
Author's Response: I will update as soon as possible
:)
Date: 08/21/07 Title: Chapter 16: The Black Letter
Hmm...interesting. As always, I loved Draco's part. I think it's too bad that Narcissa died, though. I like her. What's going on with Meleia?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and I\'m glad you continue to read :D Hopefully the next few chapters satisfy your questions about Meleia. :P
Date: 11/23/07 Title: Chapter 22: The Warning
Is there a spy in the Order?!? How did Anderson know that they had been tipped off? What happens to Draco now that there isn't going to be an attack? I'm so happy that Meleia has finally made it back into the story. I really enjoy her character; she makes everything more interesting and mysterious.
You're an update machine! Three updates in two days! How did you manage that? I can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: I\'ve been hoarding chapters until I get the ending planned, and the mods are super-fast lately, you see. I\'m glad you like Meleia: she\'s my pride and joy. I adore writing her. I should have another chapter up sometime tomorrow, too!
Thanks for the reviews!
Date: 07/04/07 Title: Chapter 11: Phantoms
You are such an amazing writer. It's hard to be cryptic and entertaining at the same time but you pull it off brilliantly. Clever, clever...
Author's Response: Eeh, you\'re making me all blushy. But I\'m really glad you enjoy it! Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 08/05/07 Title: Chapter 15: The Dark Mark
I love how you depict Draco, it's so realistic...and angsty. I like angst. Keep up the good work :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, I\'m glad you\'re enjoying Draco\'s angstiness. :)
Date: 12/26/07 Title: Chapter 26: Pieces
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I can't believe it's over! I feel...sad. I fell in love with your story, and I really don't want it to end. Then final part was so ominous, too. Are you planning a sequel? *crosses fingers* Oh dear, I just can't believe it's finished... Even so, it was an excellent finale. Excellent work; you tied up the loose ends with a generally happy overtone. Meleia and Draco's banter is always enjoyable to read.
I don't know what your plans are after this, but I can't wait, whatever it may be. Congratulations on an absolutely fantastic story.
Happy Christmas!
Author's Response: I\'m planning much more indeed. A prequel and a sequel, but that\'s all in the future (hopefully not tooo distant). Thanks for following, I\'ve adored your every review.
Date: 09/11/07 Title: Chapter 19: Justice
You are an update machine! Thank you for not kiling Draco, but I must admit I'm a bit annoyed by Meleia's behavior. She behaves so strangely towards him. I'm really excited that the story is moving along so rapidly, but I'm also very sad that it will be coming to a close soon. You are a master of espionage and angst, so I know you'll keep me on the edge of my seat, but I don't want it to end. It seems too far fetched for our anti-hero to get a happy ending even though (in my opinion) he deserves it. Maybe he could even get the girl (wink, wink). I don't think I need to beg you to update quickly this time as you've posted three chapters in a week's time. Keep up the amazing work!
Author's Response: I was just lucky that the mods were able to put them through so quickly! Usually it takes a week or so. I\'m happy to update, but it\'ll be a bit of a break before part III now, while I finish writing it. Thanks for you lovely reviews, as always! I\'m so happy you\'ve stuck with Draco this far.
-Merlynne
Date: 11/25/07 Title: Chapter 23: Dinner
I can't believe Draco went to dinner at B&B. I admit, I never saw him reuniting with Meleia there, of all places. I love how mysterious she is. When she had a premonition of that woman's daughter, naming her after a flower. Creepy stuff. Just like the part with the centipede. My motto is: if it has more than four legs, get it the hell away from me. Ick. I can't wait to find out what happens now. Was her "feeling" referring to the coming attack on the minister? I know you're an update machine, but I really can't wait!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you\'re as excited as I am. The next chapter SHOULD go into queue sometime tomorrow.
