Wow...that was an extremely fast update.
As I expected, chapter 54 was the "calm before the storm." You really cooked up some chaos there, mate! And it just had to occur in the world leaders' summit. Voldemort is surely whacked, although his reasons for doing so has grounds. I do agree, the wizarding world is too submissive to common folk. But then, Voldemort's actions cannot be justified with that. After all, violence cannot be amended by violence too.
Despite that, the attack would surely urge the gang to hurry up with their task.
I just love your descriptions after the attack. I can almost feel the molecules in the air thick with panic and fear. And the muggles stashing guns wherever they go...wow, that is SO America! It made me laugh a bit.
Draco DID change. The Gryffindor traits are definitely rubbing on him...maybe because of all the physical contact with Harry. Lol!
I wonder how the Dursley's fared in the attack in Surrey. I would have preferred them chopped into pieces, but I certainly would want that to happen after Harry gets all his most-coveted answers. I think this is just the perfect time for Aunt Petunia to explain Dumbledore's reasons for leaving Harry under their care. Or better yet, hand him Dumbledore's letter which was included when he was left on the Dursley's front steps. I have the notion she's the only one who knows what Dumbledore's true intentions are (I don't think McGonagall truly understands Dumbledore's reasons, but that's just me). What about the other Squibs living in Privet Drive? What about cat-lover Mrs. Figg?
I wonder what Hagrid's doing now. Will he pay Harry a visit in Grimmauld Place some time? Or will Harry do the visiting?
Your story is pacing much faster now, and I feel you are nearing the end of your story. Oh, I still hope you don't kill anyone...well, maybe Ginny...but please, not Harry or Draco! For the love of Merlin, not them!
Can't wait for chapter 56!

PS: I'm sorry if this review is quite short. It's 12:02 pm here (lunch time!) and I haven't had breakfast yet. Merlin, I'm terribly hungry that I can't think straight anymore. Plus it's beginning to get hot in here. Merlin...Philippine climate just sucks right now! It's supposed to be raining, but it's so hot it's as if our summer climate is having an extension!

I liked ch. 55. While no cute relationship stuff came until the end, it did explain a lot and progress this war even further, which I think needed to be done. I can just feel an ending coming soon ='(. I don't want it to end, it is like my night time reading =(. Then what am I going to do every night?! I would love it if you posted a Dream Journal =D. That would be fantastic, what does the writer dream?! Anyways, loved the chapter. And I ADORED the ending. It was so cute, and I loved that Draco simply turned away from him ^^ very funny! Had me laughing quite a lot. Anyways! Goodnight, and I will check up on ya tomorrow for chapter 56!!!!! Wow... 56 chapters O.O.... I pray for 56 more ^_^.

Hi,
I've been reading your story for for a while now, lurking about for say the last twenty chapters or so. First of all my compliments. I think you've captured Draco very well and I especially like the fact that although he's trying to fit in, he hasn't suddenly had an epiphany and turned good. He's changing but some of his core values will not change. Secondly, your idea of having Voldemort attack the G-8, and the subsequent terrors, was a stroke of genius, and your motivation is spot on. I thought, but can't remember exactly, that it always has been his goal to rule both worlds.
One minor point though, and more pride than anything else, is that although I like the name 'Das Dominanz', sounds nicely imposing, even if I'm not sure its correct German and I like your positive potrayal of the Dutch in this, German is not a one of our languages. In fact, its a sure way to piss us off, we're really quite sensitive about that. Having said that, the proper Dutch translation would be 'de controle' or 'de macht' (lit. the power), 'Das Dominanz' really does sound so much better. If any more Dutch should crop up in the story, I'd gladly help you out.
Again, my compliments and please keep it up, Poppendol.

I love the attack on G-8 summit. It was brilliantly placed and I completely agree whit your logic. Hope the muggles stop attacking for a moment to get their facts strait, and maybe assist in the fight rather then make it more difficult. After all, wasn

*death* HA! Draco + puberty = hilarious! He's so affronted by it, like it's personally insulting him.
I like how he ends his rant about petting Harry's hair with 'Yeah.' Like he's agreeing with himself. Hahahahaha.
Draco's a sex beast now. :D

oh wow, that was an incredible chapter! :) I loved it! And yes, I agree about the Wizards and muggle war. Voldemort wouldn't just stop for wizards.
You should read "The Burning Times" at the Hex files. It's a really good story. Very painful but VERY good. haha It talks about them opening the wizarding world to muggles and trying to live in peace but it backfired and they all ended up in concentration camps basically. It was a hard read because it was so emotional, but damn, LOL That chapter reminded me of it, I had to mention it.
I can't wait to see what happens next. Does harry find the Dursley's, if he does, are they willing to let him protect them if he so chooses? Man that is insane, LOL

It's finally official! They're finally THE couple!
Wow...that is sweet. The shouting match between Harry and Ginny is definitely the easiest way for Harry to broadcast to everyone in the household that he and Draco are a couple. Talk about subtle.
Fred and George are a bit mad, eh? But I expected them to be the most understanding from all the Weasley kids. Merlin, I just love them!
And...they're going back to school! Are they? I wonder if Harry got a letter and was made prefect or Head Boy too (although I think Ron would be since he had been made prefect during their 5th or 6th year). Or maybe Harry is made Captain of Quidditch?
Anyway, I feel that this chapter is the "calm before the storm". Well, there is still a war waging outside Grimmauld Place, and they still have to find Helga Hufflepuff's cup, not to mention kill Nagini and Voldemort. The future is definitely dark for both of them, but they have no choice but to walk through that path.
If ever both Harry (if he even got a letter) and Draco decide to take their 7th year, I have a notion that all the action will take place at Hogwarts...as it had been occurring there since the beginning of the HP series. Although, maybe Harry (assuming that he did get a letter) wouldn't go since they wanted to make Pettigrew's death look like Harry's.
Speaking of that, Harry did mention he went to Diagon Alley to purchase some things for Draco. How is that possible? Isn't he supposed to look dead to the millions of wizarding folk? Did he drink some Polyjuice Potion to change his appearance so he could buy those gifts? I don't think he used the Invisibility Cloak...although it is possible that Harry asked Lupin to do the shopping for him and he was following Lupin under the Invisibility Cloak...
Help. Some clarifications, please? I wonder if Draco had noticed that. It is, after all, his idea for Harry to look dead to others beside the Order. He likely would have fumed at Harry afterwards. He didn't want Harry endangering himself for trivial, not-so-important stuff like that...and going to Diagon Alley without him and worse, because of him, is definitely included in this category.
And in connection with this, I think Voldemort already knows that Harry is alive and that it is Pettigrew who was found in Godric's Hollow. He's not daft, and, after all, he is a powerful wizard. He's too much of a Slytherin, too. He would have calculated the possibility of this outcome when he devised that sneaky attack in Godric's Hollow.
By the way, will Draco always be on top? Or will there come a time where they will switch places?
Hope you beat your deadline. July 21 (the release date of the 7th installment in my country) seems pretty far but it will come faster than a hurtling Bludger. Good luck! Can't wait for more!

PS: Sorry about the delay...as what I've mentioned before, my professors showered me with too much homework. Merlin, I can't believe it is just the second week of this term! Also, I'm worrying over my thesis now. I don't know if my professor would approve my thesis proposal. *shiver shiver* I hope he does. *crosses ALL fingers tightly*
PS PS: Despite all that homework, I'm 100% certain that I would be able to give your gift this weekend! I'm so excited!
PS PS PS: I really liked chapter 54, but some memories that I wanted to forget just resurfaced when I read it. Let's just say I'm doing all those stuff I've said regarding distractions. And with a plus! I actually cried...after a very long time of not doing so. Don't worry, though. I will be fine. I always have picked myself up anyway. Maybe a bit of cigarette (on second thought, maybe a lot) would help ease it too. Hehe!
