Excellent fic! I liked it a lot. As someone else commented, Draco was not 'watered-down' which is always a good thing to see in a Dramione fic, and not always easy to manage. I especially like their exchange when Hermione was blaming herself for Ron's death.

I'm not sure we ever got a real explanation of Burke-the-Unspeakable's actions. I got the impression that he wasn't part of the assassination project. Did he just go power-crazy, hoping to be the one to solve the crime? Was Liam manipulating him somehow? It's never really said unless I missed something.

Other than that minor confusion, I really did enjoy your fic. The romance aspect was well done and progressed very believably.

The art is gorgeous, and there's so much of it! Wow. Inspired_Ideas really outdid themselves, and Mystkyten's is absolutely beautiful.

Excellent job, all of you :)

I had many of those same questions about Burke too.

Okay... this is what was going on in my mind... although I definitely need to work it into the last chapter somehow...

I was thinking that Liam Burke set up Scorpius with the letter after Ethan Flint got taken into Custody, Burke senior took Scorpius a few other pure bloods and Liam with him to where the unspeakables were... and when Liams plot started to unravel, Burke takes Liam and Scorpius off... hoping that his 'interrogation' will prove Scorpius is guilty and save his son, but that when he realizes that Liam is guilty/scorpius innocent... he brings them both back to the Ministry to turn his son in...

I did a pretty good job of speculating this - it was a bit of what I was suspecting.

I got a little carried away. There were so many good things for art. I'm glad you enjoyed the illustrations.

Yeah... I probably need to beef up the Burke part in the last chapter and explain what the heck happened...

I was thinking that Liam Burke set up Scorpius with the letter after Ethan Flint got taken into Custody, Burke senior took Scorpius a few other pure bloods and Liam with him to where the unspeakables were... and when Liams plot started to unravel, Burke takes Liam and Scorpius off... hoping that his 'interrogation' will prove Scorpius is guilty and save his son, but that when he realizes that Liam is guilty/scorpius innocent... he brings them both back to the Ministry to turn his son in... Ur... so yeah... kinda need to explain that in the last chapter somehow... maybe I can gave Hermione pull Draco out into the hall and do it... heh...
