nice chapter

[juwel_fic]

Thanks!!

Really good chapter!
I loved that Draco could be there for Harry in the end. It must be hard for Harry seeing Hogwarts again... *sigh*

And I really hope that Harry's idea to hold off on telling Draco about his feelings doesn't backfire on him!

I all ready can't wait for the next installment!

[juwel_fic]

Yes--Draco's finally learning now how to give back, and that perhaps Harry needs him just as much as he needs Harry. *g*

Next installment is going to be quite emotional.

Ooh, what a cliffy!

Hermione's so smart. :) Too bad she can't fully understand Draco's feelings, but I can't blame her for not immediately trusting him. It just adds to the realism. I think she really has taken the more sensible approach, not only with her suggestions to Harry but handling the Weasleys. Ron would be a battle in of itself. o.o

Ah, poor Draco. His feelings of vulnerability were even making me uncomfortable, and I'm just sitting at a computer. lol But it does make me wonder, if Draco were to be freed fully, how long would that be going on for? Or would the stares, points and whispers continue indefinitely?

I was so glad to see an update. Great chapter, as always, and I'm excited for more. :)

Hermione's just cautious, and likes to see evidence with her own eyes--she's understandably a bit leery of Harry's judgements. And yes, she does know Ron well. *g*

You mean how long would the feelings of vulnerability last? Or the stares? Considering that the wizarding community is fairly small, I think rumours and stares would follow him the rest of his days.

Thanks for the review!

[purplealert]

Yeah, I meant the stares. Sorry, I have a tendency to type rhetorical thoughts and neglect to mention that that's what they are. ^.^;;

Aw, that was well worth the wait!

Hermione's advice is good, in fact perfect for this situation and yet the boys would be so much happier if they knew how each other felt.

I love that Draco's having to support Harry here. It's a nice turn around and probably really good for their relationship.

Very, very good chapter, especially for a transitional one!

[juwel_fic]

Oh I'm glad it was worth the wait!

And yes, Hermione makes sense. But of course sense and the feelings of the heart don't always perfectly match. *g*

You're going to see more of Draco supporting Harry and vice versa next chapter.

Thanks!

Am loving this sooo much! :D

So painful for them both - hope the visit goes well.

The differing viewpoints are done exceedingly well.

[juwel_fic]

Glad you're enjoying!

Yes, returning to Hogwarts is going to be very hard on them both.

And glad to know the viewpoints are distinct and work. *g*
