At Last! You posted it!

Yes, I do like this Draco. But cutting himself? Ouch.

And this is future H/D, right? (just checking ;p )

I'd say more, but I'm tired as hell (I should go to bed earlier...)
Do love this, though.

See you on msn, ne?

:-D

[lilian_cho]

Yay! Glad you liked. *g*

I know, ouchie :-(

*cough* Remember that conversation we have last year about an "untouchable" Draco? Wellthisisit. So uhh...H/D UST forever? Yay?

See you :-)

Re: :-D

[disarming_smile]

As long as it's H/D UST. I do love me some good UST.

And didn't you say that the UST might end sometime? *puppy dog eyes*

See you (when I get that stoopeet internet to work)

Hmmmm...mayybe? ;-)

Also, you can introduce yourself to Draco here, and to Li here.
Go friend Hermione (pushy_bookworm so you can read her f-locked rant on Harry ;-)

Oh yay! I'm so sorry I didn't get around to betaing this last night :( Things came up and I got distracted and I'm sorry :(

But, it was worth waiting for. And you handled the cutting scene very well :)

[lilian_cho]

That's fine :-) Don't worry about it.
I just wanted to post it soon-ish because I'm already late as it is ^^;;

Speaking of which...*prods you* Remember yours is due on the 14th.

And you handled the cutting scene very well :)

Ahahaha by coyly hinting about it and having Draco black out? X-D

[gelsey]

Yeah, I know. Can I ask you a favour? Did I ever send you my snippets I wrote already? I know I posted one somewhere, but I'm not sure about the others, and they seem to have gone missing 0.o I'll keep looking but until then :( I might have to redo them from scratch.

Hmm, maybe I can add to that scene ... from Hermione's POV or something. He sliced his left forearm, yes ... did he remove any flesh, or was it just blood?

But yeah, good job :)

[lilian_cho]

I...don't think so, but I'll look around.

You posted a Tonks drabble in your LJ comments once for my request. Beyond that I don't remember anything...you did say that you were going to do a backward forward in time thing, comparing Hermione and Flower?

*pat pat*
Sometimes losing snippets is for the best, although it sure is annoying at the time.

I don't remember where the Dark Mark is X-D I thought it was on the left forearm, but I was too lazy to double-check :-P

It was some flesh, but nothing as bad as a pound of flesh or Wormtail's whole hand. It was a shallow cut which removed a layer of skin (and some flesh) around the Dark Mark. What effect that'd be to the Dark Mark, we'll see.

It's not going to incapacitate his arm or anything, but he'd probably have ghost pains for the rest of his life. He'd also wear long sleeves to cover the scarring.

Thanks again :-) And I just e-mailed you.
