I hate you. This was one of the best H/D stories I have read in 12 years. Draco and Harry were perfectly in character save for a line or two the Draco would say that was too soft or too vulgar for the manners that would be second nature to one of his station, or in a case, in my opinion, where he might have remained quiet instead of responding. You kept the riveting intensity between them throughout all 18 chapters with differing levels of tension while constantly satisfying that tension. It's a dominant Harry with his typical wild temperament and his overall goodness, while the bully in him lurks right beneath the surface ready to do something to unease Draco. Draco proud, fearful and stubborn and undeniably bottom. This would have been the ideal fic for me.

I read leo-draconis' chapter 19 and 20 and boy was that a MAJOR boner-killer. She's a very good writer, just didn't keep up with your energy. 19 and 20 were boring, Draco was too easy to accept his own need for harry, more confiding in Harry for someone who plans to oppose him in a war, and less in character; Harry's anger was too easily appeased. There was boring dialogue, not very emotional scenes. Painly put, the intensity between Draco and Harry was completely killed. What a horrible disappointment that was. I'm sure I would enjoy her other writing, since other fics would take place in alternate universes and have their own energy. But if her eagerness to get Harry and Draco in bed, her slightly more rushed tone than yours and her softer interpretation of the characters are consistent in her other work, I am certain I would find myself pining after your style. Again, Leo-draconis' chapters 19 and 20 are without a doubt, in my opinion, not worth reading to keep the story up. She's a very good writer herself but for the moment I have been spoiled by two consecutive nights reading Sex Magic. So I'll leave Sex Magic here at chapter 18 as it is. It was a great ride while it lasted.

I will definitely read more of your completed works. Right after I stop moping about this one, lol! I will never read anything of yours until I see that it is completed because I can't take another heartbreak like this.

Thanks for writing.

I am enjoying your story. Can't wait to read more. Kat

So...Just reading, reading, enjoying the well-written, funny awesomeness of this fic, I get to chapter four and... "Cuddling". *burst out laughing* Why are you so amazing?

Good god, this thing just gets better the more that I read it!

Also, I got terrified at the moment when Draco came in with the other Slytherin boys. Er...Chapter 12 or 13? I'm writing this before reading that because I'm too scared.

You're a wonderful writer, though. Extremely in-character and interesting, and I'm loving the other couples, particularly Neville and Lavender.

I didn't think I'd like this story but it surprised me. Can't wait til the next update!(which I'll probably miss becauce my RL is kinda busy).

What a bloody waste. This was a great story. You can't just HAND a story to someone else and say 'oh so-and-so will be writing it from now on' - Their writing style is completely different but they'll probably do the things that I would have done with it if I could be bothered.
I actually had been enjoying the story so much that I even took the trouble to go to livejournal (which I hate - its an appallingly badly organised resource that pisses me off every single time I am forced to visit it.) to find the supposed 'rest of the story' promised.
Oh but look. there IS no rest of the story. Just a hand-off. I gave the 'continuation' about two paragraphs to convince me but the writing style was irritating. I suppose I didn't really NEED to know what was going to happen next. I can go and read something else instead.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update/finish this story!!!

This fic is too damn hot! The way you made Harry and Draco interact with each other over the weeks just left wanting more! Too bad you're not updating here anymore, but I've gotta fave your page to keep up! Hope you update there soon! EM

I love your story but (and please dont take this the wrong way) but that Teacher is a bitch... i dont like her at all =p HOWever i know she's important to the story and its interesting to say the least.
