Since they are controlled by the charms and don't need wizard blood unless pregnant, I guess they could have set up something like voluntary blood donations for pregnant Inferei that didn't threaten the lives of the doners. OK. I can go with that.

I didn't dislike Draco - I rather felt sorry for him. Truly in love with Severus for all those years and then to be 'duty' while Harry is 'love'. Maybe he didn't hear Severus say it but you got to know that he couldn't help but see it and feel it.

I liked the ending for Tom. He-who-could-never-get-enough-power-to-satisfy-him is now a squib. Cool. Poetic justice and all that.

I'm glad that Albus turned out ok in the end. But, still, I think the scene with him and Severus just after Harry's son is born is too cutesy and a bit weak without more angst to the reconciliation. Maybe Severus was just on too much of a 'nice' high over having a son or had done a lot a soul searching about it all that wasn't in the story.

The whole Elith-Furatu thing was very interesting and well done. The casual, seemingly hard-wired violence bothered me a bit but I think that that means that if I was one I would either be a Superei or a very dead Inferei. LOL

I'm very glad that you gave it a 'happy ending' even if you don't do 'happy endings' normally. I have this awful craving for happy endings to very angsty stories. But, I could have handled Harry just blowing all of them away, Severus draining all of them for future use and the Family, suitably disguised, opening a potions shop in Knockturn Alley where if people disappear occasionally, who cares.

I would also have loved to have seen Ron and Hermione do some significant suffering for turning on Harry the way they did. I mean, Hermione with that "They are saying that you are innocent now so we can be friends again, right?" Sheeeeeze what a stupid bimbo.

And that's one of the longest reviews I've ever written - tells you just how much I enjoyed your story. Thank you for writing it.

I loved it.
It was a one of a kind.
And I find myself wanting similar stories.

Keep up the awesome work, coolsa.

Heyla, that was a surprise. A truly original plot line? *gasp (shock/awe)*
I must say, it's been delicious. Kudos on keeping it up (something I consistently fail to do *snarls at current w.i.p.*).
This has probably been asked before, but, quite frankly, I haven't the time to sift through the myriad reviews on this fic *green with jealousy*. Where did the Elith-Furatu come from? The name is suspiciously familiar, but I can't put my finger, nor any other appendage, on it.
Also, I agree that Draco was the weakest character in this. He was a bit inconsistant, but that happens. Blegh. Hypocritical, but true. Also, the reference to a prophesy involving Paris was frighteningly close to being vague beyond meaning. A tiny bit more explaination would likely have been better, but it's not vital, and it doesn't take away from the story.

So, now that I feel thoroughly indulgent and guilty, I thank you muchly for all your work and look forward to further years of enslavement! Muaha.
Zhai'helleva, and much love,

I loved this story and was very sad to get to the last chapter! I loved all the characters, the actual story plot, the climax and the ending. Excellent work!

Loved it! Not a bit of loathing, except maybe the fact it's finished ;)
The interplay between Harry and Draco was particularly interesting, and I liked the ending. Sickly sweet happy endings are good, but sometimes it's nice to have a less 'perfect' ending. Keep the fics coming!

Well I just finished having read it in one go more or less. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Well done. My hat is off to you. It is a lot of work and you had good ideas and good pacing.

P.S. I'm glad it didn't have a sad ending. Isn't it a bitch when the characters tell you what they're going to do.

The story it's self went very well, nicely done I say! The ending wasn't what I thought it would be but I think it came out just as well...Draco's missing something (I think you said somthing about that in your AN?o.O) I can't tell what Draco's missing but it somthing, maybe it because he's like a puching-bag throughout the hole thing...I mean he's ALWAYS getting hit (by Snape, Lucius, hell even Harry's betting him up!). But just like all your other HP stories (I've read them all ex. "Where Others Fear to Tread" which I'm working on now! ^_^) this story came out to be ideal! Lovely, simply lovely story!
