Mwa ha ha. I love ambiguity in fic... my stuff of late has been rife with it. :) So thank you!

Oh my God!!! You are so awesome, and this is so great! I have... no freaking idea who it is. I've read it through a few times, and I've flip-flopped back and forth, but I'm going to say Percy. That's the vibe I got on my first read of it, so I guess I'm going with my gut instinct. I'm willing to bet that I'm wrong, but I'm also willing to bet that you won't tell me either way.

The way it flows is just... lovely. I wish I could make something flow like that. Oh, and the format is wonderful! I envy the way you can switch to different formats and POVs and just make every fic seem so unique. I can't do that for the life of me.

I inspired you? Awww, I'm so glad that I did!! *Glomp*

Great job, sweetie!

P.s.: Try to ignore the way I abused the exclamation point all through this comment...

Well, I might, if I knew myself. I can definitely see it both ways. I'm told the section referencing Malfoy implies it's Percy's POV of Harry, but I think anyone already seeing it as the other way around would take "ministry" and read it as Malfoy senior rather than Draco. So it's a toss-up... and I think how you read it depends on how you see the characters.

And thank you so much! It was hard to find a rhythm on this one, because I couldn't use a lot of my normal decription and still keep the anonyminity, so I'm glad it worked!

Ooh, you certainly did, your latest Harry/Tom and Harry/Lucius pretty much made me die from their awesomeness, and then I had to go write some angst.

Thank you so much! *hugs*

P.S. No worries ;)

I'm going to be very dull and say Percy, because of these sentences
-There was always something about how he looked at Malfoy, like they weren't so different, really.
-But he always wanted, of course he wanted to blend in, wanted some kind of belonging.

But I'm sure there's a way to twist everything and prove that Harry is the narrator.

Great fic, by the way.

But of course there is, it's designed for it.

Thank you!
