You're style is very familiar to me...I guess I'll have to wait and see if my suspicions are correct. :) I have no idea how you came UP with that story. It was so utterly unique. It had such an incredible amount of depth and detail. I actually liked that we didn't get to see the final confrontation. It seemed to me that Harry has given up fighting, and I think it was appropriate he wasn't in the battle

*takes a deep breath and exhales slowly* Here goes...

Insanely good, this one. Very original, I must say, since I had yet to come across a fic where either Harry or Draco is this type of magical creature, or being, as you stated in the story. It's also admittedly complicated. The magical theories in this story gave me a lot to ponder about. I might have to re-read through some parts, though, because most of the things you wrote are quite -shall I say- philosophical? And I haven't been able to wrap my mind completely around them. But I enjoy the challenge of trying to understand these so-called theories; I do love fics that make me think. (Oh and you make me want to actually OWN a copy of Hogwarts: A History so I can find out more about these things... XD

It left you speechless? *twitches nervously* I hope it was in a good way and it wasn't annoying in any kind. :P

Will you please let us all know if you do post this somewhere else? Do you post fics in your journal? If yes, then perhaps I could friend you? Apologies if I come across as overzealous but your fic is *that* good. *sighs*

Thanks for responding! :)

I really think that this is the kind of fic that the category "Fanon" was meant for. It isn't just a ridiculous tangent of hilarity and sex, labeled non-canon because of its utter lack of sense. It's a reinvention, with the same people in a different world. Instead of the same people doing things inexcusable to their character with the guise of "this is fandom!", you took those same people and made a new world, opened a new array of possibilities

Lo! I promise I'm not nominating my points here--for confidentiality, and all. Just had a question about this procedure:

Do I have to choose which team to give points to this week, or can I do it any-time within the competition?
