At first i was slightly skeptical, skeptical you say? Yes skeptical. a HP FFict How else could i not be? Wary i was. YET Malfoy, the one and only Draco Malfoy is one of my all time favourite characters! He has such potential don't cha think? That and your intro was so intriguing. I just HAD to know more!! I love the whole love triangle theme. The kiss between Harry and Laurel, the small smoulder of passion between Giny and our beloved Draco. And we must not forget ze strong, passionate love between Laurel and Draco... ((Envious i be!)) The way your Characters have interplayed themselves with the Orginal HP Characters, simply amazing. I could simply gush, on and on and on.... How much i love this FFict!! I started reading this at 8-9pm and now tis 3:40am!! ((Which i'll prolly regret in ze morrow for staying up so late...BUT! It was well worth it!!))And now i'm tired and i think i'll go to bed OR i'll go and see what other goodies are in store for me on your profile page! ((Addicted i be)) Heh, another thing i noticed is your interaction with ze readers/reviewers. throughout the chapters. I like that alot, hence the reson why i'm typing up this reveiw. Please add me to your list. i'd love to get an update of when the next fix of TTK's is up. xXx

I have to say I love it. I gave the story a chance like you said and I'm impressed. Draco is divine and I think I'm already in love with Harry and Ron too. Can't wait for more. DD

Okay . . . I am officially impressed . . . this is easily one of the best, most well-thought out stories I've come across in a VERY long time. You are truly a talented writer, and I look forward to seeing where you go next with this piece. Keep up the AMAZING work, and more very soon please! 8~D

AAAAAAH! UPDATE! ::faints, then jumps back up and starts rereading for a third time::

Lor, this is amazing! Lol, I won't demand that you write more this very second since I know that your schedule is probably about as nuts as mine is right now, but please hurry! You don't know how many times I've used Three Keys as a study break over the past few months. I'm so glad that you're continuing with it!

I was wondering, if you had a spare moment sometime, I started something of an epic (ha ha) Sirius fic on ff.net, and if you wanted to take a look at it, you'd make my day. Not to edit or anything, lol, don't worry, I wouldn't put that burden on you, but I'd really like to know what you think of it. It's called "And All Will Come To Darkness". It's at www.fanfiction.net/~nightshade468. No hurry, but if you ever get a chance, I'd love some feedback from you, mi amiga.

Hope everything's going great! And write more, darnit! Lol.
Luv, Kate

I'm working my way through the story. Don't typically like OC stories, but this is fun and your characters are a hoot. I especially like the Harry/Ron/Draco conversations. It has been my favorite so far. I'm spending way too much time reading when I should be sleeping. Ah well, its summer and I'm on vacation, so who cares, right? lol. I'm at chapter 21 now. Off to read more. Great story so far. LLM

OMG! Now that AFF is finally back up and running I can finally read the rest of your story. I've been carefully avoiding any posts at Three Keys about this because I'm only on chapter 20 :( But now I can fiannly get caught up, if they don't shut down again. I am just too excited. So then of course I had lost the general lay of the land and had to skim 19 chapters to finally get here. Whew, busy morning.

Everytime I read this I love Laurel more and more. The sexy seductive devious way she was winning Draco's attention was so Slytherin of her. The jealousy was very well done, from her perspective. I loved her description of Draco, what he was wearing. I also really liked the way everything faded into the background when he touched her. That was adorable. Hot things are happening here. What a vivacious ficcie you have going here.

On to read more...;

Chapter Twenty One:

It does strike me that Laurel instantly has a good opinion and intrinsic trust of Draco. Certainly not something that he is used to and I can see how quickly it breaks down his defenses. At least he knows he is in trouble. It's kind of different perspective you can do with an OC because everyone else already knows him, but she knows nothing about his history.

I just love how he thinks shes a muggle, but she doesn't even think about it. Never wonders in her mind, because to her it's not important, but to him...no matter what he says...it is important. I can't wait until he finds out she's a witch. That should be quite the shock...on to read more my love, no time to review when there is reading to be done :)

Well, last night when I was talking to Ronnie, she said you out did yourself with this one and I am going to have to agree. Really, Lorett, I think you can write it all. You can do humor and comedy, I do remember some great lighter moments earlier in the story that helped to move the plot along but also kept the reader interested. You can do romance for dang sure - I still think Laurel and Harry's bathroom scene was HOT (mistake that it was, hot nonetheless). You can do action and adventure style - fight scene in the club, anyone? You've just got the KNACK for spell creation and your research is quite thorough and really adds to the authenticity of the story, makes it actually feel like it's part of Rowling's universe, not the far fetched versions everyone else comes up with.

And clearly, you can do angsty drama, as this last chapter has proved. And you did it so well. You really delved deep into Draco, bringing to the surface his deepest fears, greatest regrets, his most painful memories . . . his pain made the whole chapter that much more poignant. It really proved to me, as a reader, why he has made some of the decisions he has made - and ultimately, why he didn't kill his father . . . he's not a failure; he has won with compassion. I am sure Lucius is out for Draco's blood now, but really . . . every young man has daddy issues, to some degree.

I am glad that Laurel didn't intervene any more than she did, that she was able to let Draco do his thing. He needed to do this on his own and the little help that she gave him was just right; she didn't do anything to tip the scales, she just made it so that Draco could have the chance to prove himself. She's gonna be good for him, for sure. And he's already envisioning their future family . . . awww . . . that is, as long as Lucius doesn't do the sterilizing spell to Draco in revenge . . .

You did a great job with this one Lorett. You definitely touched on some controversial things and stretched the characters and only good writers can get away with that. And you've definitely gotten away with it, so props to you! :-) I like how Lucius' sperm had souls . . . lol . . . that was funny to me . . . but that aside, the moral dilemma of killing his future children before Lucius can kill them himself is a powerful one . . . and whether it was the right choice or not, Draco had to do what was right by him and as long as it can come to terms with his decisions and himself, then he can only go forward . . .

Honestly L, it was superb . . . and although it was a long time coming and the expectations were high, you soared so high above them, that I need to go back and reread this story just so I can have some more of your awesome talent! :-)

Always,
SJ

YAYE! It was wonderful Lorett! Heartbreaking and gut-wrenching and terrifying but WONDERFUL!

Poor Draco... Might he be getting some consolation snuggles soon? *looks hopeful*

And that spell he used on Lucius - wow. Brutal but brilliant.

I can't wait for more!!!!
