OMG ok for those of you who have NOT read the 6th book do not continue reading this review!! Can you believe Rowling killed Dumbledore off. I was so depressed I like couldn\'t look at the book for like 2 days because off that. I loved Dumbledore and she killed him(Rowling of course), it\'s all her fault! Ok sry for that anyway, another really really great chapter, keep it up! I would also be happy if Ron and Hermione got togather and I agree with the hurrying up part.
Love Lots,
Darkkit

Well Blue!
Firstly, I must say that this was a NICE little birthday surprise for me! Today, the 20th is my birthday and I was very happy to see you\'d updated.
I really like your version of Draco and his insights and his thought process as to why and how he changed to become who HE is in your story.
I also like the idea that Narcissa loves Lucius and Draco loves them both.
I think that in the book, HBP (IF YOU\'VE NOT READ HBP STOP READING THIS REVIEW HERE! BE WARNED!) We\'re finally given a clear picture that Draco does indeed love his family. As a matter of fact, we\'re given a clear picture that both Narcissa and Draco love Lucius. Draco loves his family so much so that he takes on (albeit forced) a near impossible task in order to secure their very lives, not to mention his own.
So, in that respect, I\'m pleased with JKR. Now, I agree with you that we only see things through Harry\'s eyes, and we often find out in retrospect how VERY skewed his view of things really are. So, I\'ve learned to take what he sees and what he reacts to with a grain of salt. Now, regarding Draco in this book, I think that JKR has put Draco in the best possible situation for an ultimate final retribution for him. I think if she\'d left him as he was, he\'d most assuredly turn Death Eater and follow suit as Lucius. But NOW, oh now, Draco can hold NO ILLUSIONS as to the monster that his father (and now he) serves. He was torn up and tormented and it was heartbreaking. BUT, he\'s got an ace in the hole...he\'s got Snape. And, Snape will save him, I\'m sure of it. If anyone can redeem our Draco, it\'s him. So, although I was heart-broken at all that happened, I\'m left feeling somewhat hopeful in the idea that now Draco is positioned to become a turn-about hero..if that\'s his lot.
And, I agree too that Hermione and Ron are cast to be in canon. Sigh. Although I just think it would be so delicious and SO amazing if Hermione even LOOKED at Draco...which she NEVER does...at least that we see through Harry\'s eyes. That I\'m resigned to the fact that she\'s his and he\'s hers. sigh.
So, even though your story is AU...as are my two. WHO CARES! I love your Draco and the wonderfully complicated web that you\'re weaving of their love story. So, keep going and though this book has shot most of our plots to hell, I\'m still here and still reading faithfully and will continue to do so!
Cheers,
Lorett

Hello!
Glad to see you updated. It seemed too short though, but I like how you showed how Draco and Hermione\'s X-mas break differed. Some people say book 6 sank the H/Dr ship, but I\'d like to think it\'s just a little leaky. To me, they\'re still sailing, and though in canon, there is probably no chance (because the authoress said so) of them getting together, I can\'t help but see little things like how Draco likes to tease Hermione, but he\'s not particularly malicious about it. Like in Madam Malkin\'s, he calls her a name and teases her about her black eye. It\'s like he really wants to know who injured her. I don\'t think he\'d care if Harry or Ron had a black eye. She\'s curious about what he does in Borgin and Burke\'s, and takes it upon herself to investigate when neither Harry nor Ron are willing. Malfoy stalks the trio in the library and gets ideas from Hermione. Obviously he has some sort of respect for her because he copies her ideas, such as with the coins and the poison. They do say imitation is the best form of flattery right?
Well I hope you keep writing the story even though it\'s officially AU, it\'s still good! I will grab a flotation device and continue sailing!

Hi ya Blue! It has been a while! lol. I loved finding a new chapter though. I agree with you about the 6th book! I loved it and I for one knew that there was no canon chance for Draco/Hermione. But I am so glad you are going to finish your fic!! It seems alot of Dramione fans are shocked by the events of HBP. Why, I have no idea. Enjoy your vacation and I hope to read more chapters soon. Again, this is one of my favorite Dramione fics of all time!! You totally fucking rock, my friend!!
Peace,
Shannon
P.S. I am just now getting into the Buffy shows, I never watched them the first time around and I have never read a Buffy fanfic. I am a huge Spike fan(must be evil, naughty blonde men for me! ;) Lets see...Lucius, Draco, Spike, Eminem, hmmmm I see a disturbing pattern here), and I guess I should thank you. I figured Spike and Buffy where going to get together. Thanks for the warning! LOL! I would have been a bit ill. Any way I am rambling and Buffy comes on in 20 mins., so I am out! See ya and cheers!

Nice fillers. Although a bit tedious to read, I understand why it\'s necessary to have this. It would be too .. \"unrealistic\" if they were just having sex all the time. Anyway. I have yet to read Book6, but I know what\'s going on already. Hah, I can\'t stay away from anything that\'s in caps lock and says SPOILER ALERT!! All I have to say is.. I hope there\'s smut in the next chapter. ;D

Hey, long time devoted fan here. First time to review.
Not really a review even...just want to say I am a formal Spuffy too ;) Always ship the \"wrong\" ship, haha...I still think as far as the story goes, Spuffy was fun while it lasted, especially in season 5. I don\'t hate Joss because he really considered and played with the idea. Can\'t say the same to JKR.
Book 6 isn\'t bad at all...based on the fact that the door never opened. the H/Hr ship faced worst luck this time around, and she did not even warn them. (sighs)
Anyway, glad to see another great chapter. Keep up the good work!
