Hi! I'm enjoying it so far -- I think you've done a good job of avoiding the usual "marriage law" cliches. About Draco's name: I would guess it's probably more his mother's doing. The Black family has a tradition of celestial names. Sirius, Regulus, Cygnus, Arcturus, Alphard, Andromeda, Draco and Bellatrix are all the names of stars, constellations, and even a galaxy, and I suspect some of the other names of Black family members also have astronomical origins. And of course Draco's son Scorpius is another constellation ("Scorpio" is the name used in astrology). The few Malfoys we know about do have classical names (Abraxas is another classical reference, from Greek, although AFAIK it's not the name of anyone famous like Lucius and Draco), but the naming habits of the Black family are quite obvious. (Even before DH came out, I had speculated that RAB was Regulus Arcturus Black.)

I love this story. It is one of my favourite Draco/Hermione fics.

I just read the epilogue I have been busy trying to get back to writing my fics so I did not have the time to read the ending. Writer's block :P

I am finally writing a review after reading the complete story.

I must say I am beyond pleased how this story turned out. Everything about this story is amazing. Do did a wonderful job!

I cannot wait for you to write another story.

I LOVE IT! I've been waiting for the wonderful ending for soooo long. This is one of the best one's I've read and so full of experiences that others can relate to in their own lives. Sad that she was unable to have more children but that happens sometimes and I'm happy that you included that bit of real information. Excellent story! And please keep writing more stories. They don't have to be Draco/Hermione cause you have your readers enthralled I can say that with all honesty!

Note to Dumbum....If you are reading this. I don't mind constructive criticism and if you'd like to point out specifics in your reviews about blatent errors in the canon (Please include what chapter #, since this site does not tell you what chapter you are reviewing for).

How do you feel Draco is poorly characterized? Feedback on this would be much appreciated, since all it can do is make me a better writer. Why is the use of homonyms a bad thing? There are multiple words in the English language (both UK English and American English) that sound the same but have different meanings, so I can't understand why you feel that having them in the story is a bad thing.

I have already corrected the Occlumency/Legilimency error, thank you so much for pointing that out, but I was writing without having access to the books.

I do know that Luna is a year behind, so if you could please point out the chapter where I said otherwise, then I'll be more than happy to correct it. If you were referring to the point in chapter 8 when Hermione remembered how well they worked together, I was referring to Hermione and Neville's fifth year and not Neville and Luna's fifth year. I am truly sorry if that was unclear and I will change that immediately to make my reasoning more clear.

And please realize that I am writing an AU story, to the characters and such will not be as they are in canon. That is the beauty of fanfiction! Again, if you have specific complaints, I'll be more than happy to review the work and see if they can be corrected, but please be specific in your reviews. If you truly can't stand the story, then I will not be hurt if you choose not to read. However, if you do read and choose to review, then please phrase your criticism in a way that will help to improve the story, rather than just say you don't know why I bother writing in this fandom.

What an awesome job!!! I'm sorry to see it end. Execellent work I look forward to your next endeavor.

Well, it was short and sweet, and I have always thought Narcissa would be a great name for a Malfoy little girl. :D

YAY! Finally, this story came to the end and i like the epilogue and the wedding chapter so much...i still doubted why Hermione can't bear any children in the future...was it the effect of what she suffered? anyway it is really sweet of them in that chap

very nice story. i'm not into angst and hurt/comfort type so much but this story had something keep me reading along..and it was interesting...great hob for u!

I loved your story and thought you did an excellent job handling a sensitive topic -- rape. I was afraid she would not be able to get over that very horrific experience. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop -- it was mature, thoughtful and romantic. Good job!

Draco is very poorly characterised, and the fic is full of homonyms.

You use LEGILIMENCY to enter someone's mind, Occlumency to keep someone out of it.
