There were some errors in the retelling of Harry\'s time with Cedric. First of all, Harry *did* use the Prefects\' Bathroom to solve the egg\'s mystery, so it wouldn\'t make much sense for Cedric to ask him why he didn\'t. Also, when at the cemetary, they were approached by Wormtail carrying baby Voldemort, meaning that there was *one* cloaked figure, not a couple, like your Harry said.

Also, I do feel bad for Seamus, but since this is supposed to be a Harry/Draco story, I don\'t see any way for him to actually get what he wants. If he and Harry got together for real, then it might just hurt all the more when they eventually break up and Harry starts dating Draco.

And speaking of Draco, I do wonder about the boy. It\'s obvious he\'s helping Harry, in a very Draco sort of way. And that comment from the young Slytherin girls has me wondering if Draco being gay is really such a big secret down in the dungeons. It would be just like the Slytherins to keep the secrets of their own, and exploit everyone else\'s.

Naturally I also wonder who the Gryffindor spy is. I\'d like to think it\'s not Ron, being Harry\'s best friend and all, but he has been behaving like a jackass as of late. I\'m still not sure how I feel about Mrs Weasley senda lea letter to Dumbledore regarding Harry. Then there\'s Dean. His reaction to the news was strange, to say the least. And he isn\'t exactly showing much loyalty to Seamus. Neville... well, it might be him, just because no one would suspect him as much as the others. But I\'d lio tho think that the fact that he and Harry have fought side-by-side means something to him. Maybe his rather strong reaction to Seamus\' teasing (about him having a crush on Harry) was because it hit a little too close to home? Maybe he\'s gay, but not all that comfortable with it? Thing is, though, if Pansy is the front for all the rumours, then she must be in league with one of the boys, and I highly doubt she\'d lower herself to joining ranks with a Muggleborn, no matter how useful. If that\'s true (which it probably isn\'t, since I\'m a terrible guesser), then Dean is out of the running. Ron and Neville, however, are both pureblood.

Then there\'s Ginny. She was shocked at Harry\'s news, then proclaimed that she\'d known all along. Maybe she did, and was only shocked about the fact that he\'d been with Cedric. Otherwise, she might be the informant. I don\'t suspect Hermione, however. She\'d never go near Pansy, and is too smart to go about Harry\'s alienation from the rest of the school so clumsily, should she want it. Besides, I don\'t want Harry to lose both his best friends.

Please update soon!

Awwww! I feel so bad for Seamus! I\'d simply hate to see him be shot down by Harry at this point. Although I adore the Harry/Draco pairing, Seamus is just too adorable in this fic. It\'s up to you, but I\'d rather have Seamus get Harry, otherwise I might cry. ^_~

It\'s really enjoyable so far. But I must say I\'m really getting impatient for the H/D. Would also love to see more of Draco in general. Seamus is a good friend and you\'ve written him well, but Harry definitely belongs with Draco. Hopefully Seamus will find love somewhere else.

Chapter Four was well-done. The dares weren\'t crazy and I was completely caught up in the chapter. And the cliffie was unexpected and interesting! I look forward to reading more.

Hey, you\'ve got a real cool thing going here. I\'m looking forward to seeing more of this one, and soon too I hope. *grins* I\'m betting some awkwardness comes up in the game of Trur Dar Dare though! Always does. ^_^
