Wow, this is really interesting. I like the darker read on it, and the backwards chronology works well for the story you're telling.

[lilian_cho]

Thank you! =D

It could've been darker, but this was what my fingers + laptop keys produced =3
I shamelessly ripped the reverse chronology + dark fic combo from my first remixer ever, who chronicled Draco's failure to become a Potions master (and possibly his descend into madness).

Should've probably mentioned that in my tl;dr A/N. But it's tl;dr as it is already =P

OK. I FAIL. I am so, so, SO sorry for not commenting earlier! I had epic (lack of) internet problems and then epic amounts of catching up on everything. BUT wow, thanks so much for this! It's a way more mature look on my fic (XD!!) and I really liked how the format of it just worked, and all the extra bits in between with Arthur older (and wiser? Hmm). Just... *flails a bit more* YEAH. I'm so excited to have had this remixed, and thank you so much for it! :D

I did have the resigned she-hates-it reaction, so thank you for taking the time to comment. =)

Ahaha, "mature" is one way to label this story *g*
