An Interpretation on Justice

I must admit that the first paragraph had me stumbling through the Ravenclaw and Slytherin labels, but after that, your story was pure fun. I enjoyed many of the details, so this is just a list of highlights

I have to admit I got lost a few times and had to go back and read previous paragraphs.

Draco's star was bright in this story and I enjoyed his character a lot. I loved his explanations of his moral code, but was unsure how it aligned with his marriage and then his come on line to Harry.

Harry I was a bit lost in that I didn't understand his and Teddy's relationship or what his problems were.

The List was really interesting. I would've really enjoyed knowing how and why someone got on the list.

Just a side note, I couldn't buy Pansy being a Professor.

I really loved this. Out of everything I've read in this community so far, this is one of my favorites. It's not just about Harry and Draco, although their intereaction was spectacularly handled, but it was also about the kids, about Teddy, about the justice, which was also beautifully incorporated.

I love the concept of the assassins and the List, and your Draco makes a lot of sense to me. There isn't anything about him that unsettles me; he seems like a person that I want to know. So thank you for that.

Teddy and Harry's relationship is also really interesting, since I've never thought about them together romantically, but it wasn't as offsetting as I would have thought it would be.

Overall lovely story. Thanks for sharing. :)

Brava! You hit so many of my "kinks" (so to speak!) -- I love twisted morality, with a hint of dark humor, plus some brewing Albus Severus/Scorpius? Brilliant! Draco being a hit wizard with the "List," his own sense of "morality" with not killing pets, etc. was delightful - reminiscent of Dexter, one of my favorite shows. I especially loved the boys, however, and would love to see them get together :D The H/D was subtle, but there, and I can't help but presume that in the "epilogue" to the story, they'll boil over with lust and shag each other rotten!

I loved, loved, LOVED this story! The complex nuances of morality, the contrast between Harry and Draco - the kids, OMG the kids are soooo perfect here - the secret department, the way that Harry's just fucked up his life and Draco's there and is going to be waiting for him (Oh, that ending makes me melt, every time I read it, it's just so perfect.) ... it's such a great, original way to get our two boys together, and it works SO well here. Dark and edgy and beautifully post-war, beautifully epilogue-compliant, this one just makes me completely incoherent and flaily and squeeful. I love the plot and the characterization and the way that you've written this ... I don't think I can tell you often or emphatically enough just how much I love this story. Brava!
