Complete love ♥

Everyone's characterizations were just perfect, and Harry's cluelessness was just adorable :D

Amazing job!

Wow, this should be an instant Auror fic classic! It was thrilling, exciting and entertaining. I was quite wary when I read the warning that it used the reversed meaning of the Tarot, and indeed it was also quite depressing at some parts, especially with the curse, the death (that scene was quite scary) and Harry's friendship troubles, but I was relieved to find out that you balanced all the morbid parts with the warm relationship that Harry and Draco develop in the story. Good job overall and thanks for this excellent story!

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to think it might be a classic. That's always nice to hear.

What a fabulous mystery story. I adored the way you explained Draco's arranged marriage. It really did come across as civilized and sophisticated. It also came through how much Draco did love Astoria.

Though we never got to hear Astoria, her voice came through strong with Draco and Hermione's descriptions. It was great to think of her as a strong witch who had a career of her own. Draco's talking about possibly marrying Hermione was great. A little dues being payed to our Dramione friends.

The relationship between Draco and Harry was so well paced. Both of them wanting to take it slow, but not really doing so. The passion was prevalent.
I really, really enjoyed this story.

Thanks. I'm glad that Astoria came through for you. I'm also glad you enjoyed the story.

You nailed a aristocratic marriage exactly. I thought all of the characters were just perfectly voiced and the story had just the right rhythm to it. I will be back again to read this. Top marks! Thanks

I enjoyed this, and the mystery part was gripping. All the supporting characters were great, particularly Hermione.
