Lorett:
Once I started reading this story I could not put it down. I LOVE your Draco, he is intelligent, independent, selfish and does not take crap from anyone. You have written him very well, both in the physical part and the emotional part.. I love having a look inside what he is thinking.
I love Laurel also, she is really a match made for Draco. I find her even more powerful than Hermione, and that is saying something. And what is going on between Draco/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, Ron/Hermione?? I love parings going on in this story. I cannot wait to see what appends between all these young/hormonal teens. :)
The story is very interesting; I

This is an amazing story! I spent the entire day reading it and am completely glued, you must write more! The latest chapter, 37, was definetly one of the more intense and it`s very impressive how you come up with your own spells and make them sound so authentic!
Out of all the HP stories i have read on AFF this has got to be one of the best. It has an amazing plot and really does make you want to read more, small bits of story pop-up and, like with the real Harry Potter books, you`re not quite sure what will come of it.
Please keep writing, it would be a crime if you didn`t!!
Awesome story,
Voo =)

First of all.- CONGRATULATIONS on the update. I know it was quite an achievement for you...and frankly, a delight for us. Overall, I liked it very much.
Lucius is one of my favorite fanfic characters. If you look closely, he is not such an important character in the books.- he doesn't get a lot of "scenes". But fanfic writers always have a picnic with him. And though my ever-dirty brain favours another pairing for him, he is a very "convertible" character. He can be mean... REALLY mean. Or actually sweet (I once read a DM/HP fic that featured a WONDERFUL funny, family-caring Lucius Malfoy). Or totally ambiguous. The spy, the Dark Lord's right hand, the funny guy or even Snape's partner... I love every Lucius.
And that's the main reason why I enjoyed this chapter so much. I know you focus a lot on Draco and Laurel (as you should, for this is their story), but the insight of Lucius was price-less. You've nailed him so nicely... (I can still remember and sigh over him and Narcissa in the second chapter...) He's been terrible so far. But what I specially liked about him in this chapter was that you made him... afraid. The whole time I felt like he was afraid... and I was scared he might do something. You made him REALLY dangerous. I got the feeling that he was getting desperate, that he is starting to really analyse his chances to win... and he's finding out that they aren't too many.
Before I forget and because I am ALWAYS honest enough to tell what I found not 100% to my liking, three comments:
1. Are you sure that Draconous Lucius Malfoy is Draco's real name? I'm only asking because as Ronnie can tell, I don't like inventions of names. But as Ronnie knows too, I may be wrong to think that this is not the correct name.
2. There is a spell in the books to silence a person or creature or animal... it is "silencio". Book 5.
3. The Soul-Freeing Spell was too long for me. The largest "spell" we've seen in the books is "Bone of the Father, unknowingly given"... blah blah blah, right? And it wasn't so long or complex.
All of the above are my personal views. Feel free to nevermind me. They are only things I point out because I personally feel the story would be better without them... But once again, it's just crazy-old me.
OK. Let's move on.
This was a very "important" chapter, I think, because it shapes and determines in a way, the relation between Draco and Lucius. Before, it was only Lucius who had a plan. He knew what he was doing... now Draco knows too. I look forward to a lot more confrontation between the two gorgeous blonds.
It was also important because of the way the whole "goody-bunch" will look at Draco. Laurel and Ginny saw him "eliminate" all of his non-born sisters and brothers... in order to save THEM. I think that's pretty strong, don't you? What will they end up thinking? Will it be the last push they needed to trust him? Or will it make them SCARED of him? I know I'd be.
Finally, I'd like to make a comment on the most significant line of the whole chapter:

I am shocked, I am floored. I hope you don't find fault with me for not reviewing ever single chapter, but I found this story so captivating, I couldn't stop between chapters. DracoOC is my favorite pairing of all time, but good stories like that are very difficult to come by. You're doing a marvelous job, this story caught my attention from chp. 1. I wonder, why did you get kicked off this site before? Though that doesn't really matter, what does is that I hope you update this story as soon as possible and if not, maybe you could email me some of it. :) I need to know what happens!!! In reading some of your character's inner thoughts, that they don't actually say, I could almost hear myself in those words.... I think you and I view these characters in very similar ways. This is a great piece of work you have here, and I'll be cheering for Draco and Laurel's happiness right up to the very end. Great job! Please don't abandon this story, never to update it again. I love it too much!

Hello sweets. It's occurred to me that I really miss the authors fav stories in the profile section. I used to be able to just click on your name when I wanted to read. Now I had to scroll...I really had to work hard to get here LOL!
Anyway I'm on Chapter Twenty two...
A Harry/Draco/OC triangle you naughty girl you! I thought Draco was in Trouble but our little heroine is the one who has bitten off more than she can chew. Talk about between a rock and a hard place. Not that it wouldn't be a nice place to be...hmmmm...wait get back on track here.
I especially loved Harry's inner dialog in this chapter, very clever. Also Laurel's realization of just who she was flirting with was priceless. Malfoy and Potter. I can completely understand her OMG factor. I love that she is smart and dumbed herself down to get out of her slip. Not that it wont be obvious that she is no muggle as soon as she shows up a Hogwarts. That will be quite a shock for our Mr. Malfoy...
