    Excerpt: "Among those wishing revenge for the part you played in the war, oh so many years ago, the most likely culprit is my father. However, the handwriting's atrocious and the author rambles on, though I suppose Lucius could have been drunk at the time. But, seeing as there's no diatribe regarding your parentage, your bad posture, or your messy hair, I struck him from my list of suspects."
    
    Rec: Draco at his bitchiest, flirtiest best. Harry at his well-meaning clueless best. And every bit character with a moment to shine. Perfect!

    Author's notes: The title is a translation of a line from Virgil's Aenead: Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. It's also the title of the most recent album by the New York Dolls. Another ways to put it is: Someday we'll look back on this and laugh.
    
    Many thanks to my beta, novembersnow, who did a great job of pointing out the weaknesses, even though I didn't give her much time. Thanks also to parthenia14 for the Britpicking.

    Excerpt: "...Mother always taught me that an honest explanation covers a multitude of sins. But she also taught me that when honesty is too mortifying, the same thing can be said for a damned good lie."
    
    Rec: Had to tell my kids "It would take too long to explain" several times while I was reading this. They kept wanting to know why Mama was giggling like a total idiot, especially during Draco's correspondence and the brilliant OC :D :D :D
