Very sweet, very original. I liked it very much.

Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed it.

I love how you wove that curse into the story, how Draco could see how Harry was being tortured but felt helpless until the pieces clicked together.

Great job!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I probably spent about three days just trying to come up with a good name for the curse. I think that was the hardest part of writing it.

Beautiful, redemptive story! And I am so glad that Draco had to top!

kayladie February 3 2008, 03:04:08 UTC

Thank you! I normally prefer Bottom!Draco, but I just couldn't see that working with the scenario I laid out. ;)

What a fascinating story! The plot was so in-depth and unique. It all tied together perfectly, and the characterizations were great. I really, really liked Hermione in this. Can't wait to see who you are, mystery author!

Thank you so much! You make me sound like a better author than I really am. :p

Very nice! A convincingly cowardly Draco (I love the waiter-in-teashop-bit :-)) who raises beyond himself for the love of Harry. And who would have thought Aunt Petunia would ever come around like that. Very original!

Thanks! Draco's voice was kind of hard for me to find at first, but once I got a little deeper into the story, I think he became a little easier for me. I loved redeeming Petunia! I think Harry deserved some penance on her part. ;)

I just re-read the story on your LJ and was reminded again what a great story this is. You really got Draco down! May I friend you, kayladie?
