Prompt: #107 Submitted by: terrayn
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Rating: R - for some non-graphic references to sex and some language.
Warnings: Ron/Hermione are together, so I suppose this could be considered an infidelity fic, but that is not the crux of the story, nor the basis for the angst.

This was incredible! I absolutely loved the way you wove in the Manor scene, because I always wondered how they'd act towards each other after that happening. I mean, I can see it really haunting Draco, so it doesn't surprise me that sometimes when he looks at her he sees that. I just hope, that after all this, eventually one day he doesn't :)

A really, really lovely fic :)

This is simply beautiful, as always. I adore the way you wrote Draco (flawed and wonderful all at the same time) and captured him through Hermoine’s eyes. Both characters shine in this piece. My favourite line would have to be “she wondered if it ever gets old for Draco to only ever see the back side of people as they run the other way“. I can’t tell you how much I love that :)

Oh, I hate that she was lying to Ron and cheating, but I adored the build up of her friendship and relationship with Draco, so I'm conflicted. I loved the ambiguous ending too.

This was absolutely beautiful. Like I said before, I love the build up of their friendship. I loved the descriptions of the 8th year dorms and the responsibility and freedom they experienced. I adored your Draco the most though...seeing him maturing and growing up, but forever haunted by his past sins and actions.
