Ooh, I love my banner! Thank you!

[ningloreth]

I'm glad you like the banner! I wanted to use that picture of Draco because I loved the way Hermione described Draco's dress robes ;-)

(I can't imagine what the designers were thinking when they came up with that huge bow tie. It's just not Draco!)

[ningloreth]

This is such a bittersweet story.

As I said before, I love the way you establish early on that the pure-blood/Mudblood thing makes their relationship impossible, so that the ending draws the whole story together, and their one night together has so much impact. But we're not left completely heartbroken because, in the paragraph about Draco's watching Hermione as she walks down the isle, you somehow make it clear that that one night will last them a lifetime.

This was so wonderfully sad! I love it!

Aww I loved this. The moments from their Hogwarts years were great, but the ending was so bittersweet. Great job!

Awww. So well done. My heart breaks for them though. *sigh* Great job!
