Oh, I found your fic journal! And now for feedback...

I KNEW LYSANDER WAS DRACO! Haha, I was sure of it since Ron spied him through the window when he was changing (was that in the second or third part?) but I suspected since the snoggage that went on in the bathroom during Ron's bday. and poor Ronnie came to the conclusion that Malfoy had a boyfriend... Tsk tsk, Ron. And here we all thought Auror school taught about basic glamours.

Your story is really well-crafted, and the fact that it's in first person and you totally pulled it off is amazing. Ron's voice is spot-on, grown-up but still a little dense around the edges. The fact that he's in the closet but not totally angsting over is wonderful. He's just a regular bloke, with his sexuality, and just doesn't want to broadcast it. Okay, he's in the closet. But I love how it's not the main focus of the story

God, it's 3:29 AM and I just couldn't. Stop. Reading.

Thank you very much for the wonderful story. Ron's voice was lovely, so Ron, and every other character in it was fantastic as well. Hell, even Hermione, present - if not physically - then mentally. I had a blast. ♥
