I really liked this alternative look at the capture by Snatchers and the scene at Malfoy Manor. Instead of pain and torture, we get to see Draco help the trio escape and all of the Malfoys defect, and all because of the secret love between Draco and Hermione and the familial love of the Malfoys. Dumbledore was right: love is such a powerful force! Voldemort never did figure that out.

Well done!

I'm glad you liked it! :)

Mmm. I love a forbidden romance. :) What was the cutest part was Hermione making innuendos about herself and Draco in front of everyone and no-one else being the wiser. This was brilliant. :)

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hermione can be quite clever and mysterious at the same time. :)

interesting AU! of course, dramione fans always want the missing scenes woven into canon--fun take on things! :)

Thank you for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This starts as a real star-crossed lovers story, and then gives us hope at the end :-)

You have a very particular way of writing Draco -- what he's been through has toughened him up emotionally, but he keeps his strength hidden until he needs to use it.

And I love the line They made love.... You don't often see that phrase in fanfic, and here it's really moving.

Thank you. I think the canon Draco was tougher than we thought, willing to avoid outright identifying Harry, Ron and Hermione and therefore risking his aunt and Voldemort's wrath.

This Draco, however, was even tougher and had more of a spine. :)

Nicely done, I like the reconstruction very much!!

Thank you. :)
