I was just being a junky and re-reading this chapter when I noticed some grammar that sounded strange.

Ok, I stumbled upon this when I was reading your other story, and this is *awesome* too! You are a very talented writer and you have a gift for telling a good story. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't think it would be Snape. The comments from the person, Alecto I think, made me think that the person was like a Quirell type. Gave the impression of being less than he was, and I don't think anyone would doubt Snape's skills. So I didn't really think of him. Not only that, despite him disliking Harry, I always thought of him as being inherently good. But I guess after HBP a lot of people questioned his motives, at least that's the impression I've gotten. I never actually made it all the way through the book:)

Moving on, I'm glad that Harry ended it with Ginny. It's better for them both in the end, though I will confess that I found myself not caring that much, actually not at all:), how Ginny ended up. It takes two to ruin a marriage they say, but I feel like she didn't try as hard for him as he did for her. But whatever. In the end I'm just happy he'll be moving on from her. And I'm glad he talked to Fleur. I think he needed someone who had full knowledge of the situation, but didn't really have a personal stake in it, to bounce his feelings off of.

And moving away from any analysis or deep thoughts, I loved that restaurant scene. And the end at St. Mungos. Probably not intended to be funny, but I found myself laughing, especially at Draco's description of their dramatic, and naked, arrival at the hospital.

Anyways, that's all I got for your. A bit shorter than last time but I think it's still god. And yes, this chapter did answer some questions. Like Pansy with the pictures. I couldn't have imagine how she would have thought that that would have been a good idea. But I guess Veela-allure caused desperation can make a person do stupid things.

...if Harry knows nothing about that, then we must wait and see...but as Fleur told - Harry should make a decision that he feels right, feels most comfortable and HAPPY to comply, but not to make no one hurt...

As Draco has decided to commit a crime (?) that 'squashed' Pansy's mind, willingly and whole-heartedly, for ALL costs - I would not suggest what should Harry do, but at least he should acknowledged it and accepted - but not to make judgement too easily...

But I loved the idea that Harry is human, so as Draco, Ginny, Pansy and Snape - we are not perfect, we are small and insignificant - we have emotions, feelings and obsessions. So it is really normal for us to be selfish, as in Draco's playing with Pansy, as in Pansy's action of taking photos, as in Ginny's decision to demand - so what is wrong with Harry making a decision to make himself happy and satisfied? For his partner Ralph (?), if he really has a crush on Ginny, he should court her as soon as possible!

The fight is just too fantastics - fighting nake! Wow - what a scene did that make! And...and a naked powerful possessive blond veela Draco holding an equally naked, unconscious and damaged auror Harry, demanding attention and treatment, making a scene, dropping all his facades of coolness...that was just HOT and too fairy-tale like...too sweet to think and imagine!

But as Harry has made his decision, maybe it is time to let them know each other more, as I do agree that such kind of bonding should be taken seriously - as attraction and allure cannot sustain love, and love is built on trust, sharing, passion, carings and truth!

I originally thought it was nape, but he is KNOWN to be far from weak.

OOPS! Disregard the last review. The cat tried to walk across my keyboard while I was typing. I originally thought of Snape, but as he is a Potions Master, AND a strong wizard, that has to be wrong. I thought of Percy and Neville, Blaise and Nott. I don't think Crabb and Goyle would be thought of as a middlin' wizard, more like poor. Seamus, Dean? With the willingness to say Voldemort, I thought perhaps someone who fought on the light side?

I soooo need chapter 10! I hope Harry will understand what Draco has done to Pansy. Their bond is sooo fragile. Severus was willing to kill Draco? But that would mean his own life as well. Or did he believe that Harry would save him in time? I sooo need more!

Oh...I just love this - as Harry finally realized he indeed needs to be loved, and should be loved and cared in return! And Draco...really...great use of skill and allure!!! And the fight against Ginny...just fantastic...he can even gain support from another veela, maybe his quidditch profession and strategic scheming skill helps a lot!

Well...though Ginny's last decision has acted wrong (but I admire her attitude - never give up without a fight!)...but it is really understandable, she is Harry's husband, she has right to protect what is hers, so she just acts it on her own accord - to request/demand Harry to let it go...but even she has suffered, Harry has suffered too...and relationship is not built on command...would this help Draco further?

Even with the support from Fleur, I still have one...worry...Harry has mentioned that his happiness should not built on Ginny's pain, or other's pain...if ever he witnesses what Pansy has become...would Harry condemn Draco and leave him? Or...would jealousy and possessiveness be born inside Harry? Can Harry face the press and the world? Draco only has four more months before the agreement ends...with one crazyman, one rival, one wife and one mate to fight for...who win in the end?
