Chapter 18:
I love dramtic Ron, whining about the beautiful girls and how Malfoy\'s a slytherin. And as usual Harry is sharp enough to think things through logically and sense that there is more to this than just some prank. Poor Malfoy, having to admit his father doesn\'t love him, that must have been hard for him...but it certainly made Harry pay attention.

Reveiw for Ch. 36
Hello, Lorett my darling!
I have FINALLY finished your oh-so-incredibly-awsome fic, and I have one thing to say: HOLY FRICKIN\' COW!
I don\'t think I\'ve ever read such a long fic in such a short time (I\'m really only counting Ch 19 on when I say this)! I don\'t even know where to begin!
First of all, let us start with Laurel, who I not only want to BE, but I also want to be able to write. Such a complex, mysterious, yet accessible character. Her powers are so COOL (how on earth do you think of these things?), but beyond being a very powerful and capitivating character in that sense, she is written with such realism and caring (I can tell that she\'s your baby) that she could be the girl any of us live next door to. She is both larger than life and painfully sympathetic. I am simultaneously in awe of her and intimately connected with her. I have no idea how you pull that off, but you do it beautifully. By far the best OC I\'ve ever had the pleasure to read!
Your DRACO, now! If I wasn\'t half-way in love with him already, I most certainly would be after reading this fic! You have done what so many otherwise-awesome fic writers often fail to do: you have redeemed him without making him lose that edginess that we all so adore about him! He is snarky and arrogant, but he is also brave and willing to risk himself for the cause. His little line way back when, when he told Laurel that he was hers . . . Dear Lord in heaven, I almost melted into a puddle of quivering goo! If he said that to ME, I would faint dead away, no joke.
Speaking of the romance aspect: My, my, what a tangled web you weave! I don\'t think there\'s a single character that isn\'t somehow caught between at LEAST two others. It\'s complicated and confusing and I LOVE it! It reminds me of 90210 (did you ever watch that?) when everyone in their little group kept switching partners like they were at some kind of warped square dance. It grows more complex with every chapter, and I wouldn\'t have it any other way. I adore the Draco/Laurel dynamic! Their scenes together are so intense I can almost see the sparks flying! Ooh, and I can\'t wait for Hermione to get thrown into the mix (you know I have a soft spot for her). What will poor Harry do then?
I can\'t help but notice that we STILL don\'t know what the prophesy says, and I won\'t deny that I\'m extremely curious (and impatient, you know). As I\'m sitting here typing this out, I have developed a small theory about it. I won\'t tell you what it is yet; I need to gather a little more evidence first, which will, obviously, require further chapters from you! Chop chop!
Now, getting down to this latest chapter (congrats, BTW, for finally getting it out! It was worth the wait, or it would have been if I\'d had a wait): OMG, I think I may be developing a Snape facination as well! I can\'t have this! The Draco thing is unhealthy enough! I ADORE your Snape! He\'s still the Snape we know and love-to-hate, but you\'ve given him so much depth and an extremely intriguing and beleivable past. The banter between him and Maggie was absolutely priceless. It reminded me somewhat of really well-written Draco/Hermione banter, which is one of my favorite things about my ship-of-choice. Some of my favorite lines from that section:
-- Severus Snape turned and directed a quelling look toward Maggie Winters that would have intimidated the most errant of his students into submission without question. Maggie however, simply rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue.

Review for Ch. 33 (I think)
Hello, Lorett my darling!
I was planning on waiting until I\'d finished the entire story before I reviewed, but I HAD to comment on this lovely chappie!
The bonding scene was SO intense! I would copy some of my fav quotes here, but AFF doesn\'t appear to have the same review policy as ff.net, so I can\'t get back to it, or at least I don\'t know how. Suffice it to say, I LOVED it! Your imagery was so vivid, so enthralling, that I couldnt look away, and at the time I was right in the middle of talking to that boy I mentioned, so that\'s saying something! I could see the snakes moving and smell the blood. I almost gasped with them as they felt the power of the bond, because the power of your words was just as breathtaking! My favorite scene, by far! I bow to you, oh mighty author!
Well, I\'m off to finish the rest of the story. Tomorrow, you may expect a lengthy, overly-enthusiastic review from one very impressed new fan! Having writer\'s block on the next chappie for Linked, too, so you can also expect a lengthy, rather frusterated e-mail from one very uninspired fic writer.
Absolutely LOVING the story, honey! You were so right about the good stuff happening around Ch 19. I haven\'t been able to stop reading since I got to the club scene!

Lorrett,
Great chapter, excellent suspense. I can\'t wait to see what all Narcissa has planned for Lucius with Snape. And then you added a very nice twist of Maggie having connections with not only Snape but it seems a very serious connection with Lucius, very interesting! I really hope that Ginny, Laurel and Draco show up in the next chapter unhurt and unscathed. Although that may be too much to ask.
I know from your yahoo group that the majority of members prefer Hermione and Draco together (shaking head just don\'t get the appeal personally), but a few of us included me are cheering for Ginny. I love Ginny\'s character and the person she is becoming in canon. I know my personal reason is that I feel more connected to her than to Hermione, who personally gets on my nerves unless she is being taken to task by Snape in Fanfiction, then she is quite fun. The reason I am telling you this is to ask, please do not make Ginny a mediocre character. I know and have accepted that Draco is going to be with Laurel and happen to like the idea, because I like your character, but please let someone be interested in Ginny (not Neville, Harry would be okay, even Blaise). I am asking this because I can
