Bloody Brilliant!
"Don’t fight it," he said, working towards a persuasive tone, equal parts coaxing and commanding. "You want this, you need it. Let it happen. I know it feels strange at first but it’ll be over soon and you’ll be happy about it, you’ll see..." He stopped, frowning. "Is it just me, or does that sound like I’m doing something to you that’d make Weasley want to hex my balls to the moon?"
Almost made me spray my hot coco over the keyboard and screen.
Mmmm......chocolate Draco ...... *sighs deeply*
This was lovely Anne.
I guess you are working up to the battle and Draco's 'transfer' to the other world accompanied by Severus' soul.
Looking forward to it! :)
Anne B. Walsh replied:
That's just a tiny bit sick, you know. And yes, working up to it is a good way to put it. Looking forward to it? So am I!

I suspect this is a conversation I shall just adore reading, too. I need to go back and reread the earlier parts of this story; it's evident I missed something (namely why Draco thought he had to win the duel, given the way that wand works.) Keep up the good work!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Draco had to think he had to win because the Mastery of the Elder Wand, or any wand, only passes from one person to another at a true defeat. That is, the current Master has to want to keep the wand, or to win the battle. Dumbledore tried to keep Voldemort from getting the Mastery by arranging with Snape to take the Elder Wand without Dumbledore's being defeated, but Draco got there first.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
Gee^^ What I would give for Ron's and Harry's faces when Hermione tells them about Draco's and her little secret... :D A lot, probably...
The way he was able to restore her hand was really good, considering that he doesn't know that much about medical spells and such. So this way was - for him and Hermione - the only way to somehow restore what he took from her - even if it was to save her.
Now I'm looking forward to the little chit-chat Draco is going to have with his Daddy-dearest... I wonder how Lulu will react to suddenly having a brand-new daughter... from a muggle family *grin*
Greetings, Baltaine

Oh, it's gonna be a long time before she tells them. Possibly even years. And I think dear Lucky is gonna snap under the pressure... snap like a twig...

Ah, so that's how it was going to work out. I wondered why Draco kept thinking he was meant to win the duel against Harry. So everyone now has a a wand (and in some cases a wand hand to go with it) and I'm guessing Voldie is about to realise he's a few Horcruxes short...I look forward to reading the conversation between Draco and Lucius probably as much as you look forward to writing it! Loving this update rate - may it continue!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Something's going to happen with Voldie, at any rate. I hope so too!

"A proper wand hand deserves a proper wand."

Well, doesn't it?

I am so excited; first a FD update two days ago, and now this! I feel positively giddy. I'm also escatic because I actually guessed something right for a change! I am confused as to why Draco didn't know that he was supposed to lose - did only Luna know? And is this the Luna from canon, or the alternate world Draco is going to? I mean, it makes sense that he had to really try to win in order for Harry to truly be the master of the Elder wand. Oh well, confusion in any incarnation of the Dangerverse is bliss, in my book! Keep on confusing me, Anne. I live for this. I can't wait to hear the plan, and I'm REALLY looking forwad to the conversation that you are looking forward to writing. Lucius just might have an aneurism - but I hope he lives through that, since what happens after will be all the sweeter.
I think it sucks that you are getting so few reviews, though. Ever since the fanficauthors site went to the new format, I haven't gotten a single email alert. I think that many people read your story, but they aren't as obsessive as I am at checking fanficauthors to see who has updated! (Am I obsessed, or what?) I only knew that you posted tonight because I also subscribe to the TFA site (I had already done my obligatory check for the evening).
Anne B. Walsh replied:
The email alerts were one of the last things to get fixed up but they're working now. It's canon!Luna, Draco's Luna, who knew this, and she knew it because she had to be able to tell him after it had happened, so he'd know it wasn't all ruined. Lucius won't die from the conversation, but he might lose what he still has of his mind...
