Review reply to Gabby0515: Thank you. It's good to hear you enjoyed the story. I'm a bit delayed on writing for the next chapter, but I'll do my best to update asap. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to among others: Thank you, xx Nerys

Review reply to FlyHitsWindow: No idea either. I recognise that problem. I have had it to with reviews I posted, so since then I always copy them before pressing send. Of course, then they always get posted, it's when I forget to press copy, the review vanishes. It must be an evil conspiracy. *sniggers* Anyway, thanks for taking the time to repost your missing review. Well, it's Tom and Hermione's kid. *shrugs* I figured it would be a handful from the start. *snnnrks* And yeah, the snake went to Hermione. At first, because it sensed the bond between her and Tom. Recall how he said that snakes find him... well... now they find her, too. And it did curl up on Hermione's belly and was overprotective because of the child. XD Eh, I just mentioned the baby in this chapter. They're not done talking about it yet (when are they ever? *insert heavy sigh of author*). They haven't even started discussing it in this chapter. Hermione just kicked the crap out of him. *muffled laughter behind hand* Anyway, I can say here how and why and what, but I think it's best to see it in the chapter. They both have valid reasons though why they'd not considered this. Yes, it's incredibly ironic. The one thing he does that brings life instead of take it earns him a whacking. ROFL. Crack. Er... *cough* ... *quickly opens other site* ....Hi, my Lord. Look at the funny pictures of Lucius here. *sweat drop* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *sobs* Forgot about the Legilimency. Anyway ... still not saying a thing about the baby situation. *keeps lips firmly shut* However, yes, in a sense, Hermione is more responsible. I don't want her to be perfect (I really dislike perfect people), and though it may look like a humongous oversight on her end, there is ... *zips lips again* I'm glad you liked that. XD Well, those are interesting suggestions on what to do with Ron. *evil cackle* I'm doing my best on the next chapter. I got one scene written, but the one after that with Tom and Hermione ... well, they're being impossible again. Babble, babble, babble. So, it will probably take me a bit longer before I'm finished with it. Sorry. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys PS. Saw your review on FFnet about the Leonard Cohen song. I actually have that song on vinyl. XD Never connected it to tom-hermione though. Although I do recognise what you mean. *whispers* When I hear songs lately, I often think ... eh, perfect tomione song, too (Adele's "Set fire to the rain" connects to prisoner for me).

Review reply to ChlerysTUCCO: *sniggers* A lot of exclamations there. XD I'm glad you enjoyed the events that much. *searches for very own Time-Turner, then recalls they all got smashed to pieces* Oh well, "tomorrow, today, yesterday"... well, I suppose that means any day is acceptable. However, I'll do my best to update soon. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Laura: Well, at least someone is excited about it then. The couple themselves aren't that overjoyed. Ermmm... Voldemort - love ... love - Voldemort ... I don't think he's wired to feel that emotion, so desire her, yes. Love .. nah. Sorry. I'm sure you can find plenty of other fics that do that though, if it's a perogative for you. Plenty. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to mrequecky: Thank you.

Review reply to Fleur K.: XD You're welcome. Well, she hasn't told of Ron yet. So, that's coming next. I'm sure she wasn't amused at being called a whore. Yikes! I hope I didn't raise the expectations too high. *hides* Well, I have some things planned for the next chapter that involve items from the shop. And I'll do my best to update asap. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Kit: Hmm... *zips lips* you'll see. *sniggers* I'm glad you liked that. I don't even know where the inspiration for that sentence came from, but it felt like something one would say in anger. XD I'm doing my best. I have a lot of inspiration for the next chapter, but my body isn't cooperating much at the moment. Still, I hope to be able to update soon even though I have to write in stupid intervals (which is a drag). Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

You're welcome. Always glad to be of service. Watch out though, plenty of horrors in that list. Plenty. XDD Review reply to Punxrose:: Thank you. I'll do my best to keep up the amazing work and update asap. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to SarahLuvsZombehs: *clutches to chest in shock* Oh noes, I'm being completely misunderstood. *emo teardrop* I was only ending the chapter there because if I wrote more, it would take me longer to update and now you had a chapter sooner. Yeah, that's it. I'd never stop there because of the evil cliffhanger. Never. Interesting list of things. *sniggers* I'll do my best to update asap and I thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to somebody french follows: I didn't even have time to review chapter 10, and you post number 11! Wow! Well, that doesn't mean you can't review 10 anymore. *sticks out tongue* I was suddenly reminded:Tom has a plan. Right. Totally forgot. Tsk, tsk, tsk. One must never forget things around him. That's deadly. Wait,Hermione is pregnant. She knows Ron is sterile,so baby daddy is Voldemort;Ron knows he is sterile, so he knows she is cheating. Crap. Yes, that pretty much sums it up. I small comment, I wish we heard more about what Hermione thinks before cutting to the shopping. It's huge news, and it could have used two more minutes I think. That being said... I had a two-thousand word St. Mungo's scene that contained more information on what Hermione thinks about the pregnancy; however, I had to cut it when I noticed Miya had a scene between a Healer and Hermione talking about the same subject. I have now shifted her thoughts on it to a future chapter where she and Tom discuss the pregnancy. Hermione and Mistress Aphrodite: that was one of the funniest parts in the story! I was really laughing out loud. It has gt to be some new form of punishment created by Tom. Yeah, LOL. I had a lot of fun writing that scene, especially when I came to the part when Mistress Aphrodite realises who Hermione is shopping for. *wicked laughter* And...she is calling her My Lady? he Dark Lord has followers in sex shops? Who knew? Well, didn't you know by now that his followers are ... everywhere. *sniggers* Tom is not amused. And I can't believe that no one thought of contraception? Not even Tom in his oh so well thought out plan? Tom Riddle, overlook something vital? Never. *hides* However, I haven't posted his talk with Hermione about this yet, so you'll have to wait and see. I love a chapter like this one, where there are NO CLIFFHANGERS whatsoever. Nothing at all, everything was calmly ended, no one discovered anything. Nice and easy.... Update!Please, just Update. Yeah, I know. I was being kind to you all with this chapter. Didn't want to post any more of those horrible cliffies. So, you're welcome. I'm glad you appreciated my effort. XDD Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Lady Miya: Okay, using italics for your bits since the quote tags are being obnoxious and stating the number of opening quotes isn't the same as the number of closing, WHEN THEY ARE! grrr... "YAAAAAY! Beware, Ron, Hermione is on the way to break up with you! FINALLY! I’m so happy! And glad that Harry isn’t trying to talk her out of it." Nah, Harry noticed that they both weren't happy in their marriage, so he wouldn't do that. However, I am glad a break up between two people makes you happy. xxp "However, I’m not so sure he will still think it’s a good idea after he has found out who she married instead… Although: “'You need someone more suited for you,' he said thoughtfully. 'Someone who is more interested in moving forward and investigating intellectual subjects, someone who can keep up with you in a debate, someone a bit more intense and ambitious than Ron and not so unsure of himself that he'd hold you back, or at least, that's how I see it,'” – Yeah, that practically screams Voldemort. He can definitely keep up with her intellectually, and I would call “trying to become immortal and take over the world” rather ambitious. And if Voldemort was ever unsure of himself, it would be of whether he should have killed someone with something a bit more creative than the Avada Kedavra…" *sniggers* Yet, somehow I doubt Harry thought of him when he said those things. Of course, we all did, but Harry ... nope. So, yeah, he'll probably not find it such a good idea when he finds out who she's married to. Understatement of the year Award. XD "*Oh, my Lord, I didn’t mean that the Avada Kedavra isn’t creative… eh, and of course you have never ever felt unsure of yourself. Eh… eh…. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH* " *hands painkillers to Miya* That'll be 100 euros a pill then. *opens purse and waits for donation* Finally, I'm getting some money out of fanfi... er... whistles loudly. "“'You'd think that after the first ninety-nine, he'd have the intelligence to try something different.” – See my Lord, Hermione things so too, go and play with her instead!!!! (Of course with her, she gets the good kind of torture… grr)" Yeah, don't you know that by now? Tsk tsk tsk, silly Miya. "Haha, I so adore your conversations between Harry and Hermione, they are so funny! And they really have this sibling-love going on. That’s cute (but not Fluffy-Tom kind of cute)." Eww... fluffy!Tom. **does a little ritual to make sure the creep doesn't multiply and stops by** But yeah, that's how I saw the relationship between Harry and Hermione: good, close friends that are almost like siblings. " “ 'You scolded Lord Voldemort,' Harry added in between roars of laughter. 'Would've loved to seen the look on his face.'” – Yeah, and I bet you would have loved it even more when he then fucked your friend up against the sink." ROFLMAO! Yes, I am sure he would. "Babies, babies, babies… everywhere I go, there is babies these days." *snnnrks* Well, I think it's a contagious condition. Must be some virus or bacteria or ... yes, I got it: A PARASITE! A big humongous parasite. *sniggers* "Okay, Hermione. A snake comes up to you in the middle of winter and crawls up onto your lap and seems to understand you. It hisses to Ron. Your husband is notorious for being a Parselmouth. Don’t you see ANY connection?!" Well, of course, she does, but why should she care? She has no problem with snakes. *sniggers* "“Not seeing it coming on time, the spell collided with her, surrounding her in a bright, pink glow.” Really, Nerys? A bright pink glow? *shakes head* That is just silly." No, it's not silly, it's very logical; the correct word you were looking for is corny. So, bite me, I wrote something corny. However, *looks at review on FFnet* not everyone seemed to understand that pink meant girl. "But at least the cat is out of the bag now! Hermione is pregnant… and Ron can’t have kids!!!! MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsk tsk tsk. Everyone seems to enjoy the poor man's troubles so much. Of course, I don't. I am a nice person. Why is everyone laughing so loudly now? "Oh, but disappointing that she passed out from her talk with Ron. Although, I can’t blame her. And I do feel sorry for Ron. Not fun finding out your wife is having a baby when you know you can’t have children. I’m surprised he didn’t try to wake her up and demand an explanation when they were alone. Although, maybe he is being a coward and flees instead. Oh, well." Well, I had to change quite a few things when I couldn't use the St. Mungo's scene anymore. Although he wouldn't have had a chance to talk to her there alone either since the entire family would've tagged along. However, the old scene did show why he wasn't drilling her for information the moment they were alone, because I had a tidbit with him discussing his situation with Charlie in it. I just figured it wasn't that important to add redundant "tell" lines as to him being exhausted at the end of all that, too (since I had Hermione share how exhausting the experience was and I mean anyone who's ever been waiting in a hospital for hours knows you're done for by the time you get home), and I also didn't think it was necessary to tell the readers in advance he had an other plan instead when said plan (following her to find out who the other bloke is) becomes clear at the end of the chapter. "Bit sad not to get to read the whole discussion between Hermione and the Healer, but I do understand why you cut it short. It was probably for the best. (Well, you are the author so you should know, after all, tihi)." OK, that's the last time I am doing someone a favour. Seriously, YOU're nagging to me about leaving out that scene? If I left it in, I guess I would've got an "Oh, you did a talk with a Healer and Hermione about abortion, too, just like me" instead. *grumbles* Well, sorry for having some ethics. When things resemble too much and I can avoid it, I don't post them. And it was easy for me to leave it out. "Hehe, funny scene of Hermione going shopping. Although, I have to say I think the jump between when she was thinking about the pregnancy and then suddenly in the store was a bit too big of a jump. I mean, I can understand that she wants to push up her meeting with Tom and he did tell her to go shopping, but it wouldn’t have hurt with a sentence or two about that in the beginning of the scene, just to smooth it over. " There was a big "xxx" there between the two scenes, showing there was a shift in time, place, etc. Sure, I could've added a line to smooth it over, but I didn't feel like it since the paragraph with her thinking about the pregnancy was rounded up with the last line: "Her life couldn't possibly get more fucked up than it was right now." She didn't go to the store to push up her meeting with Tom so I couldn't have had her thinking that. She went to the store before going to work, that was all. And when she entered the store, her mind wasn't on the pregnancy. So, it would've been odd for her to think about it at that moment. Despite popular belief, women don't all think about pregnancy 24/7, not even those that are pregnant. I can understand why you found the jump big, but you see big jumps like that all the time when you shift from one scene to the next. I don't think it's necessary to spell out everything. Some things are implied to be understood. Especially when one wants the story to remain within certain length-limits. XD “'Gags in all shapes and sizes, I can see why he wants those.” – HA! Well, they could both need one, I think…" Shh... Why do you think I let them buy those? *hides* I am the one who needs them the most. "Ooooh, it’s yelling at Tom-time! WIIIIH! OOOOH! IT’S EVEN WHIPPING-TOM-TIME! *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, my Lord, I didn’t mean that it was FUN to see you being whipped. Nooo, not at all. No, I’m not crying of laughter, I’m crying of distress from seeing you so… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH* " Yeah, he wasn't amused with me either. Ouch ouch ouch ouch. Glad you liked that, though. "If you are out a late night in December, you can sometimes hear the wind whisper curious words. That’s because the wind comes from beyond the grave. And if you listen very closely, you can hear the voice of a poor dead girl who dared to laugh at the Dark Lord’s misery grumbled: “Cliffhangers. Merlin, I hate them.” " Really? You hate them? But they're adorable, loveable, fun, sweet ... irresistable things. Addictive too. Very addictive. Cliffhangers, I shall have them ... all the time. *hands start shaking from the thought alone of not adding them* Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Anon: Well, all that unprotected sex ... that was bound to have repercussions. *evil cackle* *sniggers* Yeah, she hit him alright. *hides* Well, it was too irresistable for me not to write that. Hermione's always been quite physical and I figured Tom deserved a bit more than just a punch there. XDDD I'll do my best to update soon. I got the next chapter in my head. It just needs to be written out. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to m0nt: Not to upset you or anything, but from hereon, I will be deleting any more identical reviews (on this site, because I can't delete them on FFnet) since I fail to see the point of posting them. Thanks for reading and reviewing (though please just do it once, unless you've got something to add), xx Nerys

Review reply to nmvd follows: Well, I am glad to make you happy again. XDDD That was due to me writing things in the wrong order. I had several scenes (like the Ron-Hermione-Tom bit and the Molly finds out Hermione's pregnant bit) written before the Tom-Hermione scene in chapter 10. However, when that scene got so long, I couldn't fit all that other stuff into ch. 10 anymore, so when I got to eleven, I had only a few bits to write, which caused the quick update. Chapter 12, however, needs to be fully written, so that will take me a tad longer. Thank you. I personally like to read smut within a plot (I need the attachment to characters to find smut interesting), so that's why I write it like this. I might try my hand on a PWP one-shot someday. I got a little bunny hopping in the back of my mind, but I fear even that will have a bit of plot in it. XD However, I am glad you appreciate the smut being intrinsic to the story. Because it's what I primarily write, a story, the smut is a part of it for me, but not the only thing. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Freya follows: Well, I adore cliffies. They're cute and loveable and ... irresistable. *insert evil cackle* However, I'll do my best to update soon and show you the reactions (although I am not sure they're all going to be in the next chapter since Tom decided to have some "fun" with Hermione. ). Ermm... I am not sure if he cares whether it's going to be a boy or a girl. I think he finds both equally annoying, crying machines. XDDD Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Midnightermoony follows: Well, he wouldn't be Tom to me if he weren't scary. So, I can't write him otherwise. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to Alassea Malfoy follows: I'm glad you enjoyed those things and that they made you laugh. To be frank, for me, darkness needs humour to be bearable. Otherwise, it just becomes one big emofest. And that's just not my thing. XD Well, you and me both. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing him. I'd ship another couple or worse ... *whispers* a fluffy Tom. *shivers at the thought* Oh, that's weird. Now I do get you. Why wouldn't that work for the full name though? FFnet is weird. And you can't just use the Tomione lists on FFnet? Because their search engine sucks in my honest opinion. I always use this to find the fics (and then change the name Tom Riddle Jr to Lord Voldemort for the other list because apparently, they're two persons, *rolls eyes*): http://www.fanfiction.net/book/Harry_Potter/10/0/1/1/0/3/1962/0/0/1/ BTW. I'm responding here at the moment. If you'd prefer a PM on FFnet the next time, just let me know in the review. I don't do emails, but PMs on FFnet is not an issue. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Review reply to FlyHitsWindow: Oh wow, thanks for the high praise. *blushes* I'm glad you're enjoying the plot and the smut. Yes, that was what I thought, too, that Hermione did get some satisfaction from pleasuring him, even though he left her hanging afterwards. *sniggers at the latter--yep, I admit that I enjoyed writing that a lot* So, you prefer it when it's more focused on his pleasure. Always nice when all the readers are in agreement. However, I'm happy you DID enjoy that scene (glares and sticks tongue out at dictator Miya). Well, Katie is a Muggle-born witch, so she is basically above approach, isn't she? *giggles and hides* But no, the contact is not Katie. She's being the boss of the sneaky department, which led me to think she had to be quite sneaky, too. And... (zips lips) ... yep, better not say any more. ROFL. Sowwies. What do you mean that sounded really insincere? Look at my face. Isn't that the most innocent, honest face you've ever seen? No? NO! *sobs* Readers are so mean to me. *wails* They don't believe a word I say. T_T Ah, the Shield Charm Enhancers ... *sniggers* Well, those are just harmless, helpful devices. Look at how useful Ron thinks they are. Isn't that saying everything? *muffled laughter behind hand* The ballpoint... yep, he kept it. It's part of his trophy behaviour, indeed. Whether or not he'll use it in another manner, I'm yet undecided. It's a possible weapon, which is also why I let him keep it; but I am not sure if he'll need it. So, we'll both have to wait and see. XD You're welcome and thank you for the extensive review. I love reading the longer ones. It's always great fun to hear what readers speculate about and what they liked/disliked, etc. So, thanks for reading and reviewing, and I'll do my best to update asap, xx Nerys

Review reply to SarahLuvsZombehs: ROFLMAO! Happy days indeed. I'm glad you approved of this chapter so much. Hope you'll like the next one, too. I'll try to update asap. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

Thanks for taking the time to explain it further. *big smack on the lips*

Review reply to Lady Miya: And that always happens when you don't write your review in Word or make a copy along the way. *evil internet* *snnnrks* Ermm... I hope you weren't expecting him to hug her. I know Yates and Fiennes lurve it, but er... moving on. He actually ignored it for a reason. She was clearly baiting him, and he couldn't touch her due to their rules. Trust me, he really wanted to spank her with that attitude she showed him there. And it was pretty clear it was what she was subconsciously aiming at. And yes, he didn't want to get stuck with her crying, because that he finds really irritating. So, he did what he figured would calm her down, just leave her be and let her get a grip of herself by not paying attention to the outbursts. ROFLMAO. You don't share my view on magic? As in you don't think it's fiction (which is my view)? However, if you mean you use a different outtake on magic in your fics; well, I don't have an established viewpoint that is similar in all my fics. I play around with it and use what fits the particular fic best. Eh, studied Sociology, remember? So post-modernist theories have past. XD *snnnrks* ROFLMAO. And don't forget the "You jump, I jump" Titanic dive. *sniggers* Glad you liked that Hermione wanted to drop him on his head. He wasn't that amused. *ouch ouch ouch* And glad you liked that she shocked him with her passing comment about having killed someone. XD Oh, now you did it. Constructive critism on a smut scene. *Nerys rubs hands* Okay, now I need to know more. What exactly was it that wasn't your cup of tea? Was it just the blow job or the way it was executed? Could I've done something different that would've sparked your fancy (keeping in mind that Tom can't touch her there)? Was it too detailed, too technical, or was it due to Hermione taking control in that scene? Do you prefer Tom on top all the time? Or would a blow job always be something you'd not be interested in reading about? What exactly did you find boring about it? *waiting patiently for more info* Miya just got smut. Impatient smut lover. XP However, there will be more smut even with Hermione not giving up that final bit of safety she's got. You'll see. XP Yeah, I couldn't resist that. She's so "YAY!" and out of it there that I figured it would be fun if she wasn't aware of levitating herself along with the rest of the items and falling on her behind the minute she does realise what she is doing. XD *snnnrks* Well, I have to review reply first of course. XP And it won't be long before you can read the above bit you want to read, Dictator Miya. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys (who has to go to the hospital now: waves bye bye)

Review reply to IrishPhantom follows: I saw your Puppet review and replied to it in the other topic. *sniggers* Well, she wants to be dominated by him, but that doesn't mean she didn't really enjoy having the controls for a moment and affecting him with it. It was fun to switch it around for once. And the fact that he normally is the one dominating her made her even more satisfying for Hermione to be the one in charge of the situation. As for her wanting to control the situation outside "the bedroom", well, yeah, that's basic survival skills. XD I'll do my best to update soon. Thanks for the nice compliments and I'll tell Serp you said that. Thank you for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys P.S. To Lady Miya: I'll reply to your long review later when I have a bit more spare time. I gotta run now. *waves*

review reply to m0nt: Ermmm... I believed you the first time I read it on FFnet, m0nt. I like reviews and appreciate them, but I don't obsess over the amount I got, so you don't have to post the same one on multiple sites to up my review count. I appreciate the gesture though. And I do understand how the crazy, corny teasing Lady Miya, Serpent In Red and I did to each other the other day on FFnet might've suggested otherwise to you, but that was us having a really bad day and doing whatever we could to make the other laugh, which meant spamming the others' inbox to oblivion with irrelevant Doctor Who Quotes. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys

The Gold Puppet, Review reply to IrishPhantom: Thanks, we appreciate the compliments for our joined story and our solo writings. Yep, we're sorry about the delay on this one, but our muses have taken us hostage to our other projects. We'll get back to this one, once Serp's finished with SIT and I'm with Prisoner. Or if our muse decides to fool around and make us suddenly work on this one. However, I am expecting that we shall first finish the other ones. Thank you, also from Serp. Well, you're in luck. I just updated Prisoner and I know Serp's almost done with the next one for SIT, too. Thanks for reading and reviewing, xx Nerys and Serp.
