Basic Wants - Chapter 16: Plan B, Option C

Althydia: Nice and long chapter. I'm glad Harry survived and that things between Fenrir and him are better now (although I look forward to the mood swings and horniness too!). It was good to have some explanations about the pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding it (poor Remus embarrassed to give 'the talk' to Harry!), and Sirius had a nice part to play too. And Dobby returned! Now I wonder how Voldemort will react to the pregnancy and I hope that they'll be able to find a good specialist about it. Wouldn't it be normal that some healers specialise in lycanthropy and male pregnancy in the Wizarding World, just like there are many fields of study and medicine in the Muggle World? (that's one of the things we don't see enough in Rowling's books, in my opinion) Harry would certainly be a good case study for those experts... I really hope he and Fenrir can keep their baby (I'd love to see Fenrir act all fatherly with a little baby/puppy - and for Harry to see that too!).

Thanks, I hope you won't be too disappointed at the shortness of the next chapter... Do you really think there will be much of change in Harry's behaviour? I mean, he's already pretty moody, and Fenrir seems to bring out the horny teenager in him... I do believe that healers in the wizarding world specialise in a certain area, but I'm not sure if lycantrophy would be very popular, considering the negative attitude most wizards have towards werewolves. And male pregnancies are pretty rare... But I'll try to find a good healer for Harry, don't worry... Thanks for reviewing!

Kera-Izaki: Yeaz! I love how long this chapter was, lol XD And and, Mabye you can use a Baby-WolfBane potion or somthing? :/ I just hope next month isn't this bad, lol XD

Sorry to say, the next one will be a lot shorter... Baby-Wolfsbane Potion, I like the sound of that . I can just imagine Snape's mouth twisting around the name...

nyks: I just finished reading first Basic Needs and now Basic Wants and found them well written. Good job! Can't wait to read what happens to Harry and his baby. I hope he gets to keep it. ^^ And hopefully it gets easier on Harry.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the stories!

mithrilandtj: Well if this pregnancy is going to work at all it seems like Harry needs to change BEFORE the baby on full moons

That would be advisable, yes

Lina: LOL, a few surprises indeed. I can't wait to see how they deal with Harry's pregnancy next month, one thing I know for sure however is that at least the pack should see him with a bit more respect....I hope

Hm, yes, the attitude of the pack will shift with Harry's pregnancy... Hope you'll like it...

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: I can't believe I missed five updates! How the hell did I do that?

Anyway, wow. I'm loving this still. Don't worry, it turned out plenty dramatic. I love it when Harry and Fenrir fight, you get the flow going perfectly. Waiting eagerly for the next update.

ECL

Five! I'm appalled! Thank you, I'm glad you didn't miss the drama... Hope you won't miss the next chapter. I update every Saturday, that shouldn't be too difficult to keep track of

dragonstar01: awesome! Can't wait for more!

Thank you!

Rose Creighton: I love your story... and you should totally update... cuz cuz... I don't like not knowing what happens next... x_X lol... You're an amazing writer... so I'm sorry I don't review more often... its more of reading... then having to get back to real life... lol.... GREAT JOB, UPDATE SOON

Thank you... Hope you'll like the next chapter...

mrequecky: Yay, great chapter!

Thank you. And I just updated, so I hope you'll like the next chapter as well!

Basic Wants - Chapter 15: Conceivability

Marishka: Hmm... So Harry will die from the baby turning into a tiny-tiny-tiny werewolf inside of him?

It was a bit rushed, considering how much time you spent on and emotion you gave to everything else, you gave the most interesting plot so little focus. There should have been a bit more with Poppy, and so... and more of Harry's reactions. Ah well, I do love your story still though.

Hm, might be. As for it being rushed, I don't know. It didn't feel rushed to me, but that might just be me being biased. The next chapter will focus a little more on Harry's emotions and thoughts so I hope that'll make up for it... Thank you!

shadow: poor harry

is the full moon going to affect the baby?

Read to find out! Thanks for reviewing!

mithrilandtj: Wait... the fetus is going to change? Is that 100% sure or just maybe? What if the baby isn't fully infected? In canon, Teddy (Tonks & Remus's son) was only 1/2 werewolf & apparently didn't change, just got restless during the full moon

I know. That's why I reminded you all that this isn't canon . You'll have to read the next chapter to find out, but I think it's safe to say that Fenrir thinks so...

Althydia: No, not a cliffhanger now! Wow, I do hope the next chapter will be up soon, because that was one big surprise! And Harry even was reasonable enough to tell Fenrir. Poor Harry... I hope that Fenrir and him will reconcile soon and that Harry will be able to keep the baby, even though it seems quite dangerous, for some still mysterious reason... And where is Remus when you need him? I loved how Harry was protective of his baby even through his shock, although he's still thinking of Fenrir and himself as only sex buddies. But maybe the situation was not ideal to think of his lover in a positive light (way to fuck things up Fenrir!) and I guess hormones may also be at play? Oh and by the way, you got me about the smell; I had actually forgotten about that part I really can't wait for the next chapter!

You call that a cliffhanger? I wonder how you would have reacted if I had cut the chapter one paragraph earlier, as I had intended originally... I think Harry doesn't want to think of Fenrir as more than fuck buddies because then he would have to admit to having feelings for the werewolf and that would make him vulnerable... Thank you!

Dragon: Okay so the preggers thing just knocked me in the head, I'm sittin' here just a readin' and then...WHAM! Holy shit!

Wow Harry's havin a pup. Or if he gets the chance because something bad is going to happen...

Maybe Remus will get to Harry first and smell the slight problem.

Enjoyed the chapter

-SilverBlood7884

You didn't suspect? I'm not sure if Remus would smell anything different, considering that Harry has been pregnant for over two month and if he hasn't before, why would he now? Thank you!

Cella: so exciting! and poor harry! I can't wait to find out what the hell fenrir is actually talking about!

Thank you. You'll find out soon, but first Fenrir has to save his Harry...

Kera-Izaki: Damn, I know what will happe if they don't get rid of the baby in time (words like 'beng riped apart from teh inside out' come to mind) But still, I can't wait for the next chapter! ^^ And and, I know their gonna keep the baby (I doubt you get rid of it) but I really makes a wonder how it's gonna go down! >,

Can't wait for next week! ;D

~Kera

Guess I wasn't as sneaky as I hoped to be, oh well... Nah, I won't get rid of it. After all the time I spent building up to this, I want to have some fun with this... Thanks!

DTDY: I find it interesting and can't wait for the confrontation between harry and fenrir

Thank you! Confrontation heading your way...

90McPhee: Great new twist, can't wait to see where it goes (though I am a sucker for a happy ending, so I'm hopeful... ). As far as reviewing every chapter... I love your story, that's why I keep reading it, but I don't always have time to review when a new chapter is posted. I often read the stories I like most on here in a few spare minutes here and there, between the many, MANY demands of RL. Just wanted you to know, just because I don't review every time doesn't mean I don't like the story, just means I'm too freaking busy to sit and read at a leisurely (horrible spelling attempt) pace, let alone sit write a response after. I review when I can, which is rarely, but I DO when I CAN. I hope you keep writing with confidence (and updating!).

Thanks for sharing your work, and I look forward to reading more. ^_~

Thank you! I love happy endings as well, so don't worry too much... And thanks for your explanation. I understand that real life can be stressful, mine is too, so I don't expect reviews every chapter. But I'd really appreciate a short comment every once in a while

Duzzie: OMMGG XD !!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't belive the last chapter. I thought he was going to say something about misunderstanding what he was saying until I read about the full moon part. =) Good Job Go chase him Fen

Well, there has been a misunderstanding, but I'm afraid Fenrir was very serious about Harry getting rid of their child...

Anon: I was so excited about this chapter comming up that I couldn't read the last two chapters.

And it didn't disappoint.

I'm curious to know what's going to happen to Harry.

Will Fenrir make it in time?

Will he talk some sense into Harry?

Does Harry really have to give up his child?

I will be staying tuned to find out.

Wait, so you skipped two chapters? That's... mean *pout*. I put a lot of work in them so go read them! Thank you, your questions will be answered in the next chapter...

Shigure-san: I'm so glad you intend to finish this story Especially since MPREG and Fenrir/harry stories rarely get finished lol.

So looking forward to all the turns this story is going to take, i love your writing style.

Really? I didn't know that... Thank you!

qwerty: I wonder what's gonna happened: Will the fetus attempt to transform or something thereby killing Harry? Is that the reason why Fenrir said to abort? Hmmm

Good chapter

Something like that... Read to find out... Thank you!

Madam Coffee Kitty: Oh no!! What are they going to do? Will the baby hurt Harry when the full moon hits? Will Fenrir convince Harry to give up the baby or will there be another twist; and why the heck didn't Madam Pomphrey tell him the risks of having a werewolf's baby if there are any? So many question and absolutely no answers! I can't wait for the next chapter. I really enjoyed this one and I wish you good luck and much inspiration on the next chapter, good health, and happy writing! Oh, I also wonder what Remus' reaction will be to Harry's situation.

Well, there'll be a lot of answers (not all of them, though) in the next chapter so since I won't spoil the surprise, I won't answer them here... Thank you!

coopershawk: It's a good story. I like Basic Wants more than the first story in this series. The plot in Basic Wants has captured my interest and I want to see where you go with it. Thanks for writing these stories.

Thank you. I really didn't want Basic Needs to grow beyond those five chapters, so I had to concentrate on the one storyline. It's not as complex as Basic Wants... Thank you!

domi(n)ique1: so for the love of god let harry be okay besides harry should be fine he already spent two full moon's with child want my next fix soon

Hm, yes, but if you'll remember those two full moons, Harry was kind of preoccupied (first because he had been tortured and then because the pack attacked him), so maybe he just didn't notice that something was wrong?

Anon: Can't wait to find out what happens!! Update soon!!

Hope you'll like the next chapter!

pat: awesome the action is getting more and more thrilling in my opinion although i would preffer the chapters to be lengthed but wouldn't every1 like that ;>

Thank you! And the next chapter will be a lot longer so I hope you'll enjoy it...

Quik2Anger: OMG I need an update. What's going to happen to Harry. Agh! The suspense!

The update is on it's way. Thanks for the review!

Basic Wants - Chapter 14: Peace

DesertRoseFallen: I love this story and how it is going. I hope Harry gets checked out soon and it's what I think it is. I miss Fen!! Please update soon!

Thank you! I think I made all of you wait more than long enough so both Madam Pomfrey and Fenrir will be in the next chapter! Hope you’ll like it…

Kera-Izaki: Yea~ Another chapter :3 I liked this one ^^ Though I'm really missing Fernir! D: I wonder if Harry will find out he's pregers with, or without him? I think it would be soooooo funny if Harry found out, and desended one Fernir like a halk n it pray... I can see it now...

Fernir sat around the fire, cahting with the pack, and witing for Harry to return. He had missed him, and his furs felt empty and cold with out Harry. As he fantised about what he would do t his beauty when he got back, and onmus feeling crept up behind him. The tempture seemed to drop, and a shadow feel over him.

He only got one moer tense breath before-

"FERNIR"

Or something like that, lol XD

Lovely little scene, though it’s not quite what is going to happen... I hope you’ll like my version as well... And don’t worry, Fenrir will be in the next chapter...

chris7100: Ack - Harry's pregnant!?! Bet Fenrir's gonna go crazy possessive/protective when he finds out. Also guessing that Harry won't respond well. More please!

Huh, Fenrir going crazy? Might happen. And Harry’s only seventeen, I doubt very much that he’ll be over the moon...

mithrilandtj: Good chapter. There...I've reviewed

Yes, and with so much enthusiasm...

brunehilda: good job. i liked it. i wish it had been a bit longer, i can't wait for poppy and fenrir to be back in and for harry to find out why he's sick

Thank you... I’m afraid the next chapter will be a bit on the short side as well, but, thinking positive, Fenrir and Madam Pomfrey are both in it...

Madam Coffee Kitty: You are a wonderful writer and this is just as great a story as your others. I am sorry to admit to being one of those who is reading this story and not reviewing. I want you to know that whether or not I review, I really love this story. I frequently check for updates and am always happy to find another new chapter or two. This is one of the best Fenrir/Harry stories out there and it does deserve way more reviews than it is receiving. I will try to remember to review each chapter from now on. I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing!!

Not to worry, I’m just happy to know that you read and enjoy the story... Thank you very much!

This was a very good chapter. I think I know what is wrong with our little Harry! *giggle* I really do hope that Harry is able to reconcile his feeling for Sirius; Sirius is one of my favorite characters and it broke my heart hearing what he went through in Azkaban. I had forgot that he had even been in there. I enjoyed David's interaction with Draco even though it ended with a bad panic attack. I hope that David is able to find someone that will take it slow for him. He definitely needs to be very slowly eased into a relationship of any kind and Draco just doesn't posses that kind of patience. I can't wait to read the next chapter because I enjoyed this one alot. I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing!

Thank you! I quite like Sirius as a character as well, but I think Harry will need a bit more time to forgive him...

Oh wow! I think Draco is serious! Maybe he does posses the patience and care to be what David needs. I hope he takes Harry's instructions to heart, if Harry can even convince David to give Draco another chance. I wonder when Harry will find out for sure that he has a very special condition. He keeps putting off his dang appointment with Poppy! I agree with Harry, can't wait to see Fenrir again either! I also can't wait to see Fenrir and the packs (and everyone's really) reaction to Harry's special contition. I really enjoyed this chapter and I can't wait to read more. I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing!

I think Draco is very convinced that he does and he wants to help David. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he will be good for David... Harry will be visiting Madam Pomfrey in the next chapter, so there...

mrequecky: Haha, I still liked it, although it was rather short

Thank you! Some chapters just want to end where they end...

Shigure-san: I'm reviewing! lol I really liked this story's predeccessor and I am liking this one, I love the character of David and I hope he does get with draco in the end, he seems like he needs a nice little blond as recompense for his suffering lol X3

I love your style and your harry is a perfect image of what he should be after what he's been through. I love it and i love your fenrir. Only downside to this story is there isn't much Harry/Fenrir interaction. I dont just mean smut but i do like your smut scenes too lol But I'd like to see more interaction cause otherwise it kind of make the chapters where there isnt any seem like 'fillers' as it were. I like the other things, such as voldemort's reign and how harry is helping there and of course David and Draco but I think a bit more harry/fenrir in each chapter would balance it out more Loving the story though, cant wait to see where it takes us next Please finish this btw cause all my favourite harry/fenrir stories that are WIP just get left

Thank you, I’m glad you like both stories... That were my thoughts as well. Draco might not be the most mature or patient person, but he possesses a kind of innocence that I think will be good for David... I’ll try to put more Fenrir in the coming chapters, and more interaction between him and Harry as well... And I have every intention of finishing this story...

Althydia: Another interesting chapter. I liked the interaction between Harry and Voldemort, and I was also very happy that Harry finally ate something. I was starting to think that he never ate anything and survived on magic only! Also glad you mentioned Dobby, I love him (it was so sad when he died in canon); he is one of the rare characters that you can keep the same as in canon: completely devoted to Harry Potter. Also, Draco Malfoy seems to have acquired a bigger part now (and isn't finding the right clothes to wear at the first try just so Malfoy?), I'd love to see how he'll manage (or not) wooing David... And now I can't wait for the next chapter: Pomfrey and Fenrir at last! Harry missing Fenrir for a bit in this chapter was very cute too - although he still couldn't admit his feelings for him completely, but I understand that it's part of the story. I had a question though: if Harry is indeed pregnant, how come Fenrir and Remus couldn't smell it? Werewolves should have a very keen sense of smell and would be able to detect changes in one's scent (like being pregnant), right?

Thank you. I think in general Harry isn’t really concerned with food... I was really sad at who had to die in the last book. It seemed like the first to go where those who had nothing to do with the war itself... It’s very true what you pointed out, but...

“Half an hour,” Harry grumbled. “I must smell horrible.”

Fenrir sniffed demonstratively, but then shrugged. “You smell different, but still delicious.”

“You mean I smell like sweat and the herbal tea Remus forced down my throat.” Harry scowled. “Oh, yes, I’m sure I smell just like an angel’s breath.” (10. Health)

See, I thought of that as well…

poisonous_passion: YOU!!!

owe me a keypad!

Why?

Well, your German Chancellor goes by nearly the same name as one of my uncles. I nearly died in a laughing fit when I imagined him having tea with Voldemort and a pregnant, bored Harry. Imagining this, I actually spilled half a cup of tea all over my keyboard and it died a gruesome death, the poor thing! Just so you know! You can truly claim now that your stories influence the life of people all around the world

l like "Basic Wants" because you have the rare gift to write on different levels and because it includes a variety of characters and problems. Its a feat you can find in printed books, but very seldom in fanfiction-writing. I am aware that it needs time for multi-layered story like this to develop, although I am eternally grateful that the next chapter promises a big BANG!

The interaction between Voldemort and Harry is hilarious. It was a little shock at first to read how much Voldemort accepts Harry´s insolent commentary because most authors go over board with that kind of thing. I am amazed that you managed not to overdo it, in fact, you frequently make me smile with their banter.

David is a very likeable character, despite his darker side. I can´t wait to see what may or may not happen between him and Draco.

Did I mention how awesome I find it when the werewolf pack goes all animal-like? I mean these little everyday things like sniffing, nosebutting and sleeping in a great heap together. I so hope the weather gets colder so they all HAVE TO cuddle. Awwww... ;D

I soooo whished there would be more of that.

Now, why have I only reviewed once so far? Because I am lazy. I hereby publicly admit it. Some things I want to say need to stew for a while and I know myself - when I start to write, well, you see how long this review has gotten. And I need twice the time as a native speaker because I try to do my best with all the grammar etc.

Now that you have my honest justification feel reassured that I always read and enjoy your story. I will try my hardest to review more frequently now. Promise. For the time being, let me congratulate for a job well done!

Ouch, I had strained my wrist once so, since I couldn’t find an ice pack, I put snow in a plastic bag and the plastic bag on my wrist. Then I started working on my laptop, the snow melted, ran out of the plastic bag and on my keypad. Result: ‘*äf jfweo 20 iioäü+# or something of the likes. Very inconvenient, so you have my sympathy for your keyboard...

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy the story, and don’t worry, the promised bang is on its way... I think Voldemort understands Harry and why he acts like he does. They’ve been at war for as long as Harry can remember; it can’t be easy to suddenly find themselves on the same side... I’m afraid it’s getting warmer already, but I kind of like creating werewolf piles as well, so I’ll see what I can do...

I understand that. It’s a lot easier for me to write in English than if I were to write in German because I would immediately notice if something sounded even slightly weird and I would torture my brain for a better solution. Writing in English is much easier, just express what you want to say with your limited vocabulary and then move on... So, while I will certainly enjoy reading your reviews (especially if they’re as long as this one), feel free to stew for a while...

AgainAndAgain: I love that story. I'm curious what will happen when Harry mets Poppy. David is a great charcter! I hope he will be able to open up to Draco. Please update soon!

Thank you! I hope you’ll like the next chapter...

Basic Wants - Chapter 13: Invincibility

brunehilda: I think this story is really good. I wouldn't abandon it. I usually only review when something really exciting or significant happens in a story. Keep up the good work though, I can't wait for Harry to find out hes pregnant.

Thank you. I’m not going to abandon the story because I like it. I just wanted to know if someone else does too… Let’s see if maybe I can make something review-worthy happen in the next few chapters…

ereieke: no don't stop writting this is one of my favorite stories.

Thank you! I’m glad I made it onto your favourite list…

mls1971: love this story keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Thank you! Hope you’ll like the next chapter!

EvaNone: I understand you have crisis, but I hope you don't think your stories are not liked. Since I discovered fanfics couple of years ago, your stories were on my favourite list. So don't be depressed at lack of revievs. Your readers are just speachless from envy and admiration.

I wouldn’t call it a crisis. That sounds so harsh... Let’s call it a mild case of self-doubt… But I quite like your explanation, makes me feel special... Thank you!

Jennifer: I don't review every chapter. I think it gets kind of repetitious if I kept saying something over and over again. Your story is really good and you shouldn't need reviews on all your words. You are writing because you enjoy it. You are doing this for yourself. What others feel or think shouldn't matter. I know that you are looking for appreciation from your readers, but unless you see your hits slowing down and less people actually reading, then you have to worry about people not liking your work.

You know, I agree, in theory at least. Of course I’m writing for myself, because I enjoy it. But that’s not why I decided to put my stories online. I do that because I want to know what others think of my ideas, my character development, my writing , and yes, also because it feels incredibly good to read that people enjoy your story and can’t wait for another update. So maybe it shouldn’t matter what others think or if I get reviews or not, but it kind of does. As for the hit count, I never really pay attention to that. Maybe I should… Hm… And I understand if you don’t feel like reviewing every chapter.

dioeraclaire: i love your story! keep going! however, i don't believe in giving my own ideas on what should happen next- it's your story, and i'll follow it wherever you decide to go!

Thank you! So much faith in poor little me…

mithrilandtj: I haven't stopped reading and I thoroughly enjoy this story. I just don't review every time you post a chapter. BTW is Harry pregnant?

Well, that’s good to know. You’ll have to keep reading, to find out…

Althydia: I'm really enjoying your story. Your characters are well developped and the relationship between Harry and Fenrir is very entertaining and not rushed. You take your time to build the plot and I think you're doing justice to Harry's personality and the ambiguous feelings he may have towards people who were close to him before his ordeal. I was quite glad to find Fred and George here, who I've always seen as really supportive of Harry (in the books I think they are often more supportive than Ron and less overbearing than Molly). To be perfectly honest, I have never been overly attached to Sirius in canon - although I didn't expect him to have been the murderer of the Dursleys in your fic, but you did a good job explaining his reasons and state of mind - and I've always preferred Remus, so I'm very glad he is Harry's father figure in your story. I do hope Harry will finally see Madam Pomfrey in the next chapter because I'm waiting for the mpreg and all the consequences it will have on H&F's relationship. You'd raise new issues with this development, like Harry's living arrangements (although they seem to already be a bit of an issue - but I'm really intrigued by the solution you'll choose for that particular problem). Fenrir would probably want him with him, but I can't see Harry perfectly happy with the other werewolves and he will still want to check on David (nice character, by the way) and the others at the castle, right? So I'm very much looking forward to the next chapters and the reactions of the different characters (particularly Harry, Fenrir and Remus) to a potential pregnancy. Also, I'm starting to miss Fenrir... Wouldn't it be great if Harry and him were more honest about their feelings for each other? But no pressure, it's your story, and a very good one at that!

Thank you! I quite with what you said about the twins. Even in canon, Ron isn’t the most reliable of friends and often feels overlooked. The twins create their own limelight, so they don’t feel threatened if Harry gets a lot of (unwanted) attention. Actually, Sirius is one of my favourite characters, but I think as a father figure, Remus is much better suited… Harry’s pregnancy will raise some questions and cause some trouble (of course), but living arrangements is not on the top of my list… I’m afraid you’ll have to miss Fenrir a little longer, sorry. And yes, it would be great if Harry and Fenrir would talk about their feelings and drop all pretence, but where would that leave my story?

Michelle: I love your story. In fact I'm always looking for an update, please don't stop writing it!

Thank you! I won’t stop writing, don’t worry!

Moon: if you want reviews this isn't really the good site, the best is ff.net ^^ it's easier to post reviews there. but, don't worry, your story is really good ;)keep writing like that, it's great

Hm, I know that you get more reviews on ffnet, and I’m posting there as well, but I was wondering why so few reviewed here. Anyway, it’s good to know that with enough whining, I can get a reaction out of you... Thank you!

tamikolee: I love this story. You got me hooked on Harry/Fenrir, I had never read one before BN. The last few chaps have kind of felt like filler chaps because they are dealing with other character interactions with Harry, not with Fenrir. I have a good idea why I think Harry is sick, and if it is, I can't wait for Fenrirs' reaction to the news. As a reader I'd like to have Harry back with Fenrir ASAP, but I have no patience lol. Keep going, this is a great story.

I’m glad I could get you interested in the pairing… Hm, I see what you mean about the last few chapters, but if you believe me or not, some of the things they dealt with will be important in future chapters… Well, I’ll be testing your non-existent patience for another chapter. Thank you!

Blackcrimsomerose: I usually do not review on this website because I'am not signed up for it, and usually the authors I do read on this site, you have to be signed in. So I usually don't think of reviewing. I really do enjoy this story very much, and read every chapter when it is updated. Even if I do not review. I'am still cheering on this story and would really love to see where it goes!

It’s good to know that you like the story! I hope you’ll like the next chapter!

Anon: as to why the few reviews it may be that there has been little fenrir-harry interaction in the last couple chaps

That’s a thought. Thank you!

Under Draco: I like this story. I'll review every chapter i read from now on. Sorry for not reviewing earlier. I like the interaction between Voldemort and Harry and i'm just waiting to see how it all plays out. Draco needs to grow up. I'll review more and better when i'm not typing one handed.

Under Draco

Thank you, but you don’t have to do that. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be great, but that wasn’t my aim. Review if you feel like it (or if I sound really depressed) and just enjoy the story… I’m glad you like the Voldemort-Harry-interactions… I hope you were just eating or balancing a tea pot…

sassmacfru: don't know why you are not getting reviews. I tend to be a lurker but I have been following this story since the first one and do want to see this one continued. I am enjoying it, the only complaint i have is more updates B)

I’m not much closer to an answer either... Oh, well… It’s good to know that you like the story so far. As for more updates, no can do, sorry!

mrequecky: Still totally love this story!!! I always click the rating thingy, too Wonder what Voldi will do with Fred and George...

Thank you! What would I do without you?

qwerty: Good chapter! I think the general trend is to review less as any story progresses so it's not reflective of your work. I like how you're taking time to develop some of the other characters. Even though I love Harry/Fenrir, it's nice to take a break once in a while (and that way the Harry/Fenrir moments aren't overdone and become uninteresting!) Keep going!

Thank you! But… Most of my other stories were quite long as well, and I never noticed anything like this … I’m glad you don’t mind the lack of Fenrir too much, though I will try to get him back into the story as soon as possible…

Genevia: A lot of people don't like reviewing. If it's your second language, or in my case fifth, one may not feel overly confident in their language.

However, this is a Harry/Fenrir story, and whilst I like the way you develop characters, some of them are taking too much space from the actual pairing. I do like David, although it's very reluctantly that I'm starting to do so. Draco on the other hand... It does not feel that important to focus on him and David, it's not a pairing in my taste. Can't you make a side story in its own category, if you want to focus so much on them, and just do small side stuff here for when Harry visits him? I for one am here for the Harry/Fenrir pairing, Darling! ;P

Plus, you're staaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllling the thing I've been waiting the most for since I saw the warnings! XP The past like 5 chapters or so, I've thought that it'd FINALLY happen, but instead something about David or Sirius gets in the way. Don't get me wrong, I do love your writing and so, but I'm an impatient sonuvabitch! XD GIVE ME THE MPREG! YOU CAN'T STALL FOREVER XD

Your fifth language? I’m impressed. English is my second language as well, and that’s also part of the reason why I really appreciate reviews because I need some feedback… While I understand your concern of David taking too much space, he’s kind of important for the story – for the Fenrir/Harry story, that is. I might be focusing a bit too much on him right now, but I’m also setting the basis for what will happen in future chapters. And Draco will have his part to play as well. Thus, a side story wouldn’t really help you because you’d be forced to read it anyway to understand this story. Sorry! But I’ll try to get back to Fenrir and Harry as soon as possible… And yes, I’m stalling, I realise that... Give me one more chapter, and I’ll give you the mpreg… Deal?

Kera-Izaki: Hello ^^ I really liked this chapter, though I miss Feriner! XD Is Harry Pregers? :3

In truth, most people now aday's, most people review on the first chapter, and then do it no-more. It might take a while, but durring this time, new people are comming in and finding this story. Some'll review one, but other will become your loyal reviewers. Just give it some time, and make sure to beg and pleed XD I'll try to review every chap from now on ^^

Thanks

~Kera

(You also might also wanna put the chapter review reply link at the begining of every chap ^^ If they know they're getting a reply, their more likely t review :3 And it just makes eiser for us to get to them, insted of looking for the chap that has it ^^)

Harry pregnant? Why would you think that? Ah, okay, well, it seems I have to take my own advice and exercise patience… Begging and pleading, I can do that… And thanks for the tip, I’ll put the link in every chapter from now on!

Queen-of-the-Lore: NO!!!!! I love it! Don't stop writing

Besides I want Harry to end up preggers with Fenrir's cubs UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Its very well written and the whole being the reluctent Voldemorts heir thing is really cool

Hope to read more soon

Thank you and I won’t stop writing, don’t worry. Alright, update heading your way! Glad you like it so far…

Vibora: ahaha! @draco. (i really didn't want him with david ;P) awesome story! i love the rare fenrir/harry! there's so many emotions running through this story...wow. i like the characterization and you have wonderfully long chapters! and oh! is harry pregnant!? 8D i hope the pack accepts him soon.

i can't wait for more! great job!

(and no! this is not a boring story!)

No? Did you have someone else In mind? Thank you! I’m glad you like the long chapters and the characters… Hm, wait and see… Good to know…

Anon.: like reading stories more than reviewing them. I'm sorry if my lack of reviews bother you. I really like this story. Please keep going.

I can understand that, don’t worry… Thank you for reviewing!

Basic Wants - Chapter 12: Bias

mrequecky: Yay, loved >D

Thank you! Hope you'll enjoy the next chapter as well!

Anon: Yay! The part I've been waiting for is comming up. I'm looking forward to Harry's reaction. How he's going to tell Fenrir. Whether Harry is going to curse him. Whether Poppy puts him on bed rest for the next 8 months. How the entire pack will suddenly coddle him since he's carrying their alpha's cub, well except for maybe that jelous bitch.

Oo, is the babe going to be a werewolf? and will (s)he turn the 'mother' into one too?

I can just picture it. Harry chasing the poor alpha around firing off hexes all the while cursing his lover. "You couldn't get me to agree to being turned, so you got your spawn to do the dirty work."

I'm looking forward to finding out. O the possibilties.

Yes, we're getting to that part, though you'll need a bit more patience... Well, the baby will at least be part werewolf, right? But what that means for Harry, I won't reveal yet ... I like that mental image, but I think Fenrir would be more likely to stand there, with his hands raised, and try to reason with Harry (all the while with a smug grin on his face)...

[Dinkel's Review Replies]

laiko: I love this pairing. It's nice that Harry has someone who will watch over him, protect him if he would just let him. I found it realistic that Harry isn't certain if he can forgive his godfather. He's confusing the notion of forgiveness with accepting or condoning Sirius' behavior with his own love for his godfather. It is sad that Harry can let himself be happy with Fenrir if he can't be accepted or useful by the pack. That little pity party needs to come to an end, but not too soon - I like angst. Great job on the story. Just wanted to point out one thing I think is a mistake. “Good,” Harry said forcefully, bringing a grimace to David’s face. “I couldn’t like a person who can emphasise with a rapist.” You meant "sympathize" right?

Hey, thanks. I'm glad you found Harry's emotional state to be realistic I had one reviewer who pointed out to me that Harry was being selfish for causing both Remus and Fenrir so much trouble with his inability to fit into the pack. Well, that's my response because I don't think that Harry is trying to be mean or even does it on purpose. He wants to fit in - but without giving himself up... I'm glad you like angst because there's sure to be a lot more of it ... Yes, I meant "sympathise", thanks for pointing it out, and I made the corrections! See you next chapter!

Unintentionally Yours

Rose Creighton: I'm pretty sure I've reviewed this before... but I can't remember, and I just reread the whole thing and I still love it. ^_~ I wish more people would be like you and finish really long awesome stories. Shoot, I wish I could be more like you and finish some of my stories that I've gotten half way through. Of course I'm just not that awesome, but enough rambling about me and my problems. I just wanted to say that you did a great job with this story, as well as probably a few of your other ones that I'm almost positive I've read. At the same time I've been rereading a lot lately so you'll probably get some rambling reviews on some of the other ones in a few days or so... Heh, I don't know why I keep rambling on like this. Boredom and Lonliness probably. Anyways, great story. Keep up the great work if your working on something. If your not working on something maybe you should be. I need more amazing completed stories to keep me occupied when my boyfriend ditches me to go hang out with his best man friend.... Again with the rambling... I'm gonna stop typing right.... NOW!!

Oh, I don't mind you reviewing twice, don't worry Thank you! Hm, I can understand that some people have problems finishing their stories - me, I'm just too stubborn and proud to give up ... Good luck and motivation for your stories! I'm sure you can do it! Besides, I don't mind rambling reviews; they're amusing... I'm working on something - I should probably consider myself lucky because that almost sounded like a threat ... Don't be too hard on your boy-friend; I think boys just need to be boys, you know? And that doesn't work too well if there're girls around...

Updates Basic Wants

I decided to update more regularly (which is an euphemism for less often).

Because

1. I've been having a bit of trouble with the last few chapters, and since I don't want to ruin this story, I want to give myself a bit more time in future.
   
2. My prof oh-so-considerately lent me 10 books and though I don't have to read them all, I have to read as many as it takes to find the right one, which, knowing my luck, could be all of them
   
3. I'm lazy and since this is my holiday, I fully intend to continue to be lazy because otherwise I'll be all powered out at the beginning of the semester, which would have a series of unfortunate consequences and thus, has to be avoided at all costs.
   

=>I'll update once a week, every Saturday.

Thanks in advance for your understanding!

Basic Wants - Chapter 10: Health

Sagotan: Just wanted to give you some choco coocies... hope you like them... I love this ff it's funny to read... but... how long will this go on... between Harry Fen Rem... won't his pack lose there respect for him? If he let Harry do what he want like that I mean...

alright... I think I will just have to wait what will happen, won't I?

see ya

yours Sagotan

Yummy! Thanks And thank you again. I think they all know that if Fenrir wanted to he could make both Remus and Harry submit - so instead of losing their respect for him, shouldn't they be asking themselves why he doesn't? I guess you will...

Sirin Black: i'm loving this fic! harry/fenrir is my fav couple

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

mrequecky: Yay, totally loooved the last chapters! So cool

Thank you!

Missi_Young: *hands you my super secret awesome seven layer cookies* I know I just keep reviewing and saying that this fic is awesome, but that's because it continues to be awesome! I am worried about Harry's illness and the way it's lingering and really hope Poppy has something good to say! And Sirius! Oh, don't get me started! That pendejo knows what Azkaban's like, how dare he get Harry sent there? I love possessive wolfie alpha Fenrir, and i love that he's learning to temper that with what passes for affectionate consideration where Harry's concerned-I worried about a pack uprising for a few chapters, but now it occurs to me that by teaching his pack a form of love and tolerance that's only going to make them stronger in the end. I still adore this fic, and look forward to more!

Yay! I think it will be difficult to eat, but yay! Thank you! Sirius will be in the next chapter, trying to explain himself. Let's see how well he does that... I don't think that the only thing holding Fenrir's pack together is Fenrir's authority; I think they have a really strong bond regardless of the pack hierarchy... Thank you again!

Basic Wants - Chapter 9: A Shoulder to Cry On

PG: Hey, just got an account on the forums to be able to see if you gave out any clues there... I'm addicted, that's for sure! I should go to bed, my classes starts tomorrow... But you deserve a longer review!

I'm willing to bet Harry's pregnant already. Whilst I understand anyone can get sick from seeing that dead rabbit and the blood pouring down, it feels more like a sign of his pregnancy.

And to your reply earlier, I LOVE the warnings XD I love mpreg stories, pretty much feed on them! Well, them and chocolate, lol...

Fenrir is adorable when he's jealous... And Sawyer is mean to Harry. But considering the special treatment Harry gets, I kinda understand him, in a way. But still, Harry is my fav. Especiallyifhe'spreggers,sopleasesayhe'spreggers,please.

I can't wait for more, so HURRY! I'm greedy and needy and I want more!

Love! PG/PGJ

Clues? No, not so much. That would ruin the surprise, now wouldn't it? Oh, no, not that I'm not happy about long reviews because I am, but I wouldn't want to miss sleep because of me... Hm, maybe he is or maybe he's just sick... Hm, chocolate I don't think Sawyer is trying to be mean, but Harry's arrival made his life a whole lot more complicated. Of course, he isn't too thrilled about it... All right, I'll update...

Anon: love it update soon plz

Thank you!

mrequecky: Awesome chapter!!!

Glad you liked it

linika: this really is the best Fenrir/Harry Series around, There certainly ain't enough of them. I look forward to every new chapter!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it so much. Enjoy the next chapter!

dominique1: i love it i do hope that sirius has a good reason why he killed harry family i do hope that harry is pregger's now and what about what happening with the death eather that stay

Sirius certainly had a reason, but if it's a good one... You mean the ex-prisoners? Well, they'll hav e to live with their choice, won't they?

Madam Coffee Kitty: Alright, alright! I give already, enough with the puppy-dog eyes! This was a really good chapter and I really enjoyed it. I am happy that Harry is back with Remus; I'm also hoping that Sirius and Harry will work out their problems. I would hate for Sirius to be alive only to be hated through the whole story. I can't wait to read more! I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing! There, are you happy now!?! Sheesh! LOL.

P.S. I had a lot of fun writing this review. I hope you have even more fun writing the next chapter.

Glad they worked! Thank you. I'm afraid I like Sirius far too much to leave him in the dog house for more than a few chapters... Thank you! Honestly, I didn't mean to guilt-trip you into reviewing - glad it worked, but really didn't mean to... And yes, I had fun writing the next chapter, a few problems as well, but I like a challenge...

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: So, just got into the whole Harry/Fenrir pairing, and I really like this fic and the prequel. Lots of angriness and sex, and a Harry/Remus relationship that I love. Keep it up, hon.

ECL

Thank you! I'm glad you liked Basic Needs and Fenrir and Harry's relationhip... Hope you'll enjoy the next chapter!

Thank you, I'm glad you like the story so far. And I think right now, Harry is really on edge because of the whole Sirius-situation and some of the things Fenrir says or does seem like a threat or an insult to him even though that never was Fenrir's intention. But all in all, Harry appreciates everything Fenrir does for him and he tries not to drag everyone down with him... Hope that made sense!

qwerty: Dumbledore? Ron? Fudge? Rita? Hmmm... Good chapter!

Nope, not at all Thank you...

Varjo: I'm guessing it was either Dumbledore, a Weasley or Sirius... if he's still alive, can't remember... Anyway, it has to be someone close or you wouldn't be making it out to be such a big shock for poor Harry. I'm expecting for Harry to try to kill himself when he finds out, it wouldn't follow the path if he didn't... Anyway, good writing once again, keep up the good work!

No, no, no! *pout* You mean person, you! That's... That's unfair! You cheated! Do you even care that I was planning to make tiramisu? Do you? Well, let me tell you, you ruined that plan! Instead I had to edit the next chapter in a hurry just so that I can post it now. And all that because you had to guess right! Mean! You better be proud of yourself because you're the only one who guessed right... Huh, well, that makes me feel better ... Okay, fine, I can be a fair loser: Congratulations! And I hope you like the next chapter, even though not all your predictions will come true...

dominique1: will albus for money or moody tonks are maybe kingley only because in order for them to do it they would have to be allowed past the wards i didn't pick the weasley because that would be to easy granger for the same reason but if am wrong about the weasley than i would say minnie

No, none of the above, though I like the Minnie suggestion

As much as I don't like her, no.

I'm glad I could make you happy! I hope you'll like the sequel as well...

Missi_Young: do love this chapter, as a matter of fact, although I'm a bit disappointed in Fenrir for not following through with his instincts and listening to Remus instead. He knew how close Harry felt to Travers, how could he possibly not think that Harry would go find the man?! And don't even get me started on Voldemort's stupidity! lol, yes, you are responsible, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for the amazing update, and I happily await the next. And don't worry about not remembering my other review, I can't even remember what it said! lol

Hm, I thought it was rather sweet that Fenrir listened to Remus and admitted that maybe someone else does know Harry a little better than he himself does... And why exactly is Voldie stupid? He thought himself very cunning, let me tell you... Thanks for the review and I hope you'll like the next chapter...

VellaAngelik: This was totally awesome. I loved how you wrote the pair! So sweet!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Seacilin: I've read your work before however, this is the first time I have r&r'd a FG/HP fic of yours. I think the story was right to end here, it felt like the right time to end it although, I think maybe that Harry's change of heart did too fast a 180 for me. Still impressive and as usual your character development puts the rest to shame.

Thank you. I wanted it to end there and I'm glad you agree with me... Harry's change of heart, I don't know, I mean it's been more than half a year and he came to visit Fenrir quite frequently - he wouldn't have done so if he didn't like him... Thanks

HentaiZaru: I loved it, it was highly entertaining.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

mithrilandtj: This so needs a sequel!

And you found it!

dragonlady: i loved it and would of liked more

Thank you and there's now a sequel.

Ri_love: I really, really enjoyed your story. It made me see Fenrir Greyback in a completely different way, and I really thought a lot more on what his character could be. Harry as well was quite different from the norm, and with good reason. I can't believe he's gone through all that! God. Can you imagine...? Well, obviously, you CAN imagine if that really happened, you wrote this! XD Anyway, just the betrayal of it, of being thrown into Azkaban for the murders of your family that you didn't even commit, being tortured and imprisoned because he doesn't WANT to kill someone, that he has compassion for the other side. It's a wonderful thing that he has so much compassion for human beings, but terrible in what it forces him to live through.

Anyway, I really enjoyed your story, all of the 'basic needs' of life incorporated in there. It all made complete sense, and I was so happy when Harry finally accepted that they're supposed to be together. One question I have though: All of these plans Harry was making... Why do they have to escape that way? Like it was stated, they have Dobby. Dobby can Apparate them all out of there at any time.

Anyway, great story.-Ri

Thank you! I'm glad my characterisations of Fenrir and Harry made sense... About your question: I just assumed that Harry wouldn't want to put Dobby in any more danger. I mean Dobby is still working at Hogwarts, right under Dumbledore's nose. Of course Dobby could have popped them out, but then there would have been an investigation and they might have been able to trace the magical signature... That's my explanation, anyway...

misto713: Somehow I hoped Harry bit that bastards thing off completely That would have been interesting Especially seeing guard from hell trying to come up with an excuse of just how exactly did he get his penis chewed off by one of the prisoners.

I already read some Fenrir/Harry stories, but I like yours so far the most of them all. Only, can you upload it somewhere else than on adultfanfiction? Hate this page, so unpleasant and hard to navigate. How about hpfandom.net? Or TheSilverSnitch.net? Or Ficwad.com... It is just by someone else giving me the link to this story that I even know of its existence.

My, you're cruel! Though, that explanation would have been interesting ... Thank you! But no, I won't upload my stories anywhere else. I have an account on fanfiction.net as well, which I think is pretty easy to navigate...

The end already? But still was a great story, even though a little short by my standards.

That's why there's a sequel Hope your friends tells you about it...

mrequecky: Yay, absolutely loved!

And re-read like chapters 29 to the the end while you listen. it made me cry... hah but i am a little baby. anyways just wanted to share some music and thank you for your beautiful work.

Kyle Evadne: OMG...OMG...OMG...OMG

i'm not even sure how long it took to read this entire story, i've been continuously reading this for like the past 2-3 weeks. I hadn't read any other stories i was following or even checked up on them until yesterday. I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHARACTERS AND YOUR PLOT AND ESPECIALLY YOUR STORY!!!!!!!!

i almost wish i was reading this from when you were updating, but i don't think i could've truly dealt with those 'horrible'(well not horrible but i cant think of a word) cliff hangers you left...sometimes i would have to , even just for the night because it was too late to keep reading, and i needed some sleep.

OMG i dont know what to say, besides repeating the fact that i love this story.

it had all the perfect twists and turns and it ended so wonderously...i've been laughing, (almost) crying, angry, happy...its just been this amazing roller coaster ride that was just amazing.lol, i'll stop rambling on now. great story!!!! -Kyle

PS-i jus wanted to say that the story i'm working on now is H/L/D, also, even though i think i might have some more incesty type stuff between them in the future. but if you would like to read it, and comment on mine as well, i would be very pleased... can't say it enough GreaT StorY -Kyle

Wow, thank you Though, thank you is kind of lame considering how very flattering your review is... I guess, I'll just have to say it again. Thank you! Thank you! Still kind of lame, but what can I do? I'm a bit overwhelmed... I'll try to check out your story when I have the time, though it might take a little while and I'm not very good at reviewing. Just to warn you... For now, I just wish you a lot of motivation and inspiration for your story! Good luck and happy writing!

Brandi Potter-Malfoy:I just wanted to tell you that I loved this story. I thought you did a great job and I never wanted to stop reading once I started and would stay awake till my eyes couldnt take anymore so I could like now. I just had to finish. Just wanted to let you know. XOXO

Thank you. I'm happy you liked it, though I'm a bit concerned about your health...

Raie: After a couple days of reading, I just finished reading this great story. Everytime I read something that made me question or that confused me, I just hunged in there, kept reading and all was cleared up. I did have a bit of a worry that Harry would unconciencly slid into a spoil brat syndrom. He had plenty of reasons to get upset at the guys at times, especilly with what happened to him... but everytime something happened that upset him, the guys would bend over backwards to please him. It would have been so easy for them all to get stuck in that awlful groove of Harry throwing a tantrum or just getting upset and then getting his way to settle him down. I am so happy that it didn't happen. I really loved the way you put the whole story together. The flow from future to past then back to future was smoothe and easy to keep up with. I like to believe that a baby is on the way. I like the way you left that up to each reader to decide. I also like the fact that you made Luc and Draco so close yet keep the love intrest centered on Harry. I look forward to reading more of your works.

Thank you, I'm glad I managed to clear up any confusion... It was a bit of a balancing act to keep Harry and the Malfoys from falling into a sort of routine because I did want Harry to be a bit moody, emotional and fragile, but I didn't want Harry to start taking advantage of the Malfoys wanting to help and support him... I'm glad you liked the way it turned out... Thank you!

Mila: Ch. 20 “... and above all,” they chorused, “eat no lemon drops.” Lol'ed at that

Thank you! I'm glad I could make you laugh...

Ray 4 Ever: I just started to get into HP fanfics, and i found this one. Obviously I love yaoi and I love unusual pairings. i've been reading this story straight for 3 days. There were a few times I wanted to strangle Draco in the beginning because to me he was acting like a selfish brat, even if he did it out of love for Harry. Overall, I kind of liked Lucious. You went so in depth with the character development, I felt like I really new them (even though I haven't finished all the HP books). I actually liked how you made Ron a traitor because you don't often see him as a bad guy. I pretty much liked everything about your story from the little surprises for Harry to the interactions between all of the characters. I also liked how you made the maruders. Good writing.

You thought Draco was selfish? That comes as a surprise to me, I always thought he was very chivalrous... But I'm glad you liked Lucius and aren't disappointed with ron being the traitor. I mean even in the books, Ron's not the most loyal of friends, is he? Thank you!

mandee89d: OMG! I absolutely positively ADORE Nightmare... she's so snarky and brilliantly awesome!

Thank you! I'm glad you like her so much :-)

Ch. 45

/I don’t like them!/ Nightmare retorted. /I just happen to know that you like them and that they more than like you back. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t exchange them for a cooked carrot, given the chance./

A cooked carrot LOL... You're bloody brilliant and an excellent author and I love your writing and all the characters... but, Nightmare is like my very FAVORITE character... so snarky... so "snape-ish"

Do you think you can write a story where your main pairing is Harry & Severus? I'm madly in love with Sev and I'm dying for a GOOD story about the two of them... maybe even a genderbender with a fem. Harry... (makes fantasizing and daydreaming easier I mean a girl can dream, can't she? and I'll give you my very own *bambi eyes*...

Cheers, Mandee

I didn't even remember that quote :-)... Thank you very much! It's kind of telling, though, isn't it, that Nightmare and Snape mutually dislike each other... And no, sorry, I'm really not a huge fan of Snarry. I don't know somehow I just can't imagine them together and the one time I wrote something in the direction of them having a relationship (Crepererum), poor Sevvie ended with a broken heart ... I wouldn't want to put him through that again...

Tsuzuki Aralaiqualasse Asato: May I ask is Harry pregnant? A lot of stomach touching I see.... Hope you reply ^^ I love a fic where Lucius and Draco both Harry lovers but both have to sexual relation only father and son,

Ah, so you noticed :-). Yes, I was alluding to Harry being pregnant, but I wanted to leave it vague enough so that it could be read either way... I can't really imagine Draco and Lucius having a sexual relationship, especially as they had enough problems to overcome with their father-son-relationship... Hope this reply doesn't come too late...

Four Words

hieisdragoness18: even though i wanted to strangle draco when he told harry he didn't love him though i understand him not wanting to hurt harry more because he's an idiot but hey there was a happy ending!

I think Draco felt that it was unfair of him to keep Harry in the dark about his (perceived) lack of feelings for him, which shows that he did care about him... I had to add a happy ending - I don't think I would have survived otherwise Thanks for reviewing!

SecondStoreyStairwell: All I can say is that I loved it. Thank you sooo much for writing it. SSS

That's quite enough, thank you!

sarahsendoh: profound~pleasant~perfect~

Care Less

Ri_love: I just reread this story, so I thought I'd review again.

I love their terms of endearment to each other. How Harry notices and understand every gesture of them, every shared look between them. That they call Harry 'angel' and 'raven' and 'theirs'. It's very good, and very interesting, to read a story like this, I think, because I don't think there's much out there of Rodolphus and Rabastan, and that's a shame because their names alone are just so cool. So it's good to read about them with Harry. Not to mention, it's pretty hot. XD

I'm glad that Harry's plan succeeded because the brothers, and Severus, do deserve their freedom. I'm very amused with the ending! I think I missed that last time. Did Severus see them having sex, or just the end, or when they were going to sleep, or what? Anyways, very good little fic. =] It's stayed in my mind for a while. XD

That's very thoughtful of you, thank you ! I'm glad you liked their pet names for each other - I seem to have a fixation with those... No, I don't believe there're many stories with the Lestrange brothers out there, but then again they don't play a huge part in canon, either. *sigh* So much unused potential!... I would hope that Severus would have the decency to not stay and watch once he discovered what they were up to - though, he might have been unable to move for a bit, paralysed by shock, you know?

Ashilily: I love it! This is so-o-o-o cute! I love how they treat him and how they love them so much.

Thank you! They're rather adorable, aren't they? I'm glad you liked it!
