I never, ever would have imagined this scenario. And I have to tell you...

This is a wonderful fic.

It's not your usual fic scenario, it's true. When i first got the idea, I thought I was off my rocker for a while. I'm so pleased you liked it!

What a wonderful story.

Thanks so much for reading it, and thanks for letting me know you liked it.

Brilliant!!! No other word for it... I was hooked from start to finish. You made the most unlikely scenario into a most enjoyable one. This is the best fic I read in this feast so far, and is definitely joining my favourite HP fan-fiction list!

I'm so glad you read and liked it--you're right, the scenario is unusual, but I did have a great deal of fun with it. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Best story EVER!
I fell in love all over again.
And I'm not sure if I told you before or not, but your use of non-verbal communication is so great here. It's communication, it's connection, eventual therapy and expression. You did so much with it!
And way to nail the prompt and AU factors.
YAY for Harry's Pockets and YOU!!!

The non-verbal stuff was a challenge--I knew from the start that it was going to require a great deal of description versus dialogue, until Draco...you know. :) Thanks for all the encouragement along the way. You know how it is when you choose to do something...odd. You think it works, but you're not entirely sure if you're crazy or not. * hugs *

Something new is always a bit scary, but add that to your love of learning and languages, and you know you have something special!
