This is so well done! Very interesting concept, and the way you shape the character relationships is terrific. I love the layered meanings and all that's unspoken by the Malfoys, and how it's contrasted to Rose's straightforwardness. I also really love when she socks him one! Great job!

Very well done! I like the originality of your story, and your descriptions are brilliant. For instance, "the potion is kind". I enjoyed your characterization of Draco and Scorpiu's relationship especially. Draco is still the snarky Slytherin, who has to play word games with subtext, but it is clear that he loves his son. Wonderful job! :)

*gasp* His mother! I need to know what happens now...

You write beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. My favorite line:

He knows that when Draco speaks of how his mother will feel, what he really means is that it's how he feels. It is a relief to be able to understand his father again. "Please tell her I love her," he says, and the slight tilt of Draco's head indicates he knows the sentiment was meant for him too.

How much you tell us about their relationship in those 3 sentences!

Thanks for a great, really beautiful read.

Wow! That was very original and so compelling to read! I really enjoyed the mystery of it as it unfolded, as well as the depth of feeling between Scorpius and Rose. And I loved the IC-coolness between Rose and Draco. :)

Well done, mystery author!
The story drew me in and kept me riveted to the end.
