This was wonderful! We're so lucky to have you on the team. Go EWE!

Aww, thank you honey, I think we had a great team!!!

Glad you liked the story, too, thank you.

That was great. My mind is now full of mental images of Draco bent over that couch -- not a bad thing!!

Haha, my mind would not leave it alone, hence the number of references made to it during the story. Lol. Now, if I could get someone to draw that scene, I could drool over something not just in my head. haha.

Thank you so much for the comment, I am really happy you liked it.

Eeeeeeeeeee! I loved it. Seriously. I have this stupid grin on my face that just won't go away. You've totally made my day with this.

You portrayed all the characters wonderfully, hon. Umbridge was the perfect rival, and good on Draco for knowing when to throw in the towel.

My fave LOL moment:

It appears that all has been for nought.
Someone will pay for this Argus.
Yes, milady.
Get my whip.
With pleasure.

*snorts*

And the ending? So much love for Harry sending over a couch! WIN!!!

Oh, I like that you have such a silly grin on your face. :) Makes me feel all gooey inside. And then the image of Draco bent over the couch slams in there and I grin stupidly, too. heh.

I'm glad that you liked the characterisations, too. Umbridge is so much fun to write; she's so deliciously evil. I normally don't like writing evil characters as the thought of writing them in a sexual situation makes me cringe and results in a complete blank in my head from all the scrubbing. However, she's such a comic evil that I don't have to worry about sex. Apart from the whips and Argus, that is. Ha!

I love my Harry. *squishes him*

Thanks so much for reading and leaving me such a great comment. ♥

Perfect title!

Draco realised that Harry didn't really dress any differently in public than he did in private, which, he admitted was just like Harry. Not an air or any grace whatsoever about him. It was a wonder Draco was attracted to him, really.

LOL!

Great ride. You took me completely to another world. :)

Thank you! I searched and searched quote sites for the right title. Am not entirely sure where it came from (oops) but I think I bastardised the original line anyway.

I often wonder what Draco sees in Harry. Apart from his presence, that is. Because he's not portrayed in canon as traditionally hot or anything. He wears crappy clothes, has messy hair and wears broken glasses. In any other story he'd be a nerd or geek, but instead, he's a hero. So, that section was borne out of that thought. :)

Thank you so much for reading and the great comment, I am really happy you enjoyed the read.
