The Cassandra Curse might be THE most horrible curse ever.
Just the thought of it makes me need a shower and a cry. Thank you for the long, satisfying conclusion. A shorter one would have left me still bleeding. In the course of two days, you have become one of my favorite authors. Your characterizations are awesome. The people are complex and Make Sense.
Thank you.

This story and A Reckless Frame of Mind-- I just have to say-- Wow. Absolutely stunning. Not only fantastic and emotional stories, but also exquisitely written, I love fanfic, and if I find a good plot, even a poorly written one, I'll usually read it anyway--- but this. Really, it's been a long time since I've seen an author that can weave a wonderful story AND have the writing ability to back it up. I'll be following your stories. Thanks!

Sweet. I like how Draco snuck in the curse on Eugenie . . . she deserved it for what she did. How can you stand beside someone knowing what super nastyness they did in just pure hatred. I liked Lila, though and how you made her seem less an automaton near the end and more like person. Awesome . . .

BEAUTIFUL

Ch. 1 I know this story is written already so what I say won't influence the outcome of future chapters. But I understand Harry's bitterness and frustration here.

Harry shouldn't be blithering on about gratitude. It's a very ephemeral emotion especially when people tell you you ought to be grateful. Resentment is actually the first reaction to such statements.

He knows that Draco is partially using him to boost his fame and recognition in the outside world. In spite of gloating over the cases he's solved, Draco still remains a pariah at St. Mungo's and despised by the world at large as a former Death Eater. No amount of cured patients can make the difference about that.

But if he can boast that he's cured Harry Potter, that would be a true feather in his cap. That must rankle. After all, he desperately wants to be with his friends not Draco Malfoy, who would be a poor substitute in most ways.

Ch. 3 It's depressing what a manipulator Draco is and how Harry can't see through it. Harry has a piece of Draco's soul in him now! Why can't he see how Draco is leading him on and give Draco a taste of his own medicine. It's really frustrating to see how easily Harry is led around like this. Maybe he should have snatched his own wand and left, after all.

Ch. 4 Harry is definitely outmatched here. Draco is a Slytherin with years of practice at digging into people and manipulating them. His work as a Psyche-Diver and his abilities at mind-reading also mean that Harry doesn't have a chance at beating him at his own game. It's just so frustrating to read a story that's basically abuot Draco knowing Harry's every thought and wearing him down until he rolls over like a whipped bitch at Draco's feet.

Why doesn't Harry at least try to run? He's got a wand now and he's made plans to leave London. So what if he has that stinking bit of soul inside him? If he gets far enough away from Draco, that won't matter.

Draco is dangling that bit of hope in front of Harry to get him to stay and in the meantime he will use every tactic at his disposal to get to Harry. The Gryffindor should just take off...now.

I guess I'll just have to see what happens next.

Ch. 5 Shoot. Maybe it was too much to expect that Harry would see through this ploy and realize what Draco was doing. But I thought a man who had trained himself to survive dangerous magical predators and heal his own injuries would be smart enough to ignore a few hours of hunger! Why didn't he do something physical like jog around the house, try to hunt up those damned elves or play with the Quidditch equipment if he wanted to stave off hunger or at least ignore it? Why go marching straight to Draco's rooms? Part of keeping the man at arm's length means KEEPING HIM AT ARM'S LENGTHS!!

Stupid Gryffindor.

Ch. 9 "Hopefully by then Harry would be so firmly his that Granger and the Weasleys wouldn

WOW! OMG! *gasping shock*

I am flabbergasted with the depth and complexity of this awsome story. I'm an angst junkie and I just got the biggest fix ever. *shivver* I didn't leave a review at the end of the first part because I just wanted to jump into the rest and find out what happened.

What a hideous curse, and so well thought out and explained. I must bow to your expertise in weaving a tale, ensnaring my thoughts for a night and a day, enthralled in the passion and overwhelming dynamics between your Harry and Draco. The character development was completely believable and the flow of the story was smooth and fast-paced, making for quite a thrill to read.

I go through many stories, hoping to find a gem or at least a diamond in the rough that just needs shaping and polishing...but this one is flawless and ready be set. (ok, I'm gushing...I'll stop now.)

Thank you for sharing your talents with myself and the others that lurk in places that feed our craving for great HP stories and delicious boy kissy boy stuff. Hehehe, please don't ever stop.
