Hey girly, been working all day, so I wanted to make sure I could read and review after I settled in. I love being under warm covers, reading a good story, so I'm so glad there are 3 chapters to get through tonight! Great idea for Draco and Harry to both end up at Hogwarts in Harry's chambers. Ch. 37 Calixa shocked the hell outta me. I should have known you were gonna pull a rabbit out of your pocket. I expected that from Hermione, but not her. I'm worried about Harry though, why is he not speaking? Is that really Harry, I don't trust anything right now. What's up with his eyes...does he have them? So many questions....

Aww...this is so sad. Harry's letter to Draco was sweet and so Harry. I'm so glad he included the Unforgiven and even Calixa in on his inheritance. I wonder what the hell attacked him...my first thought was that he did it to himself to make sure that Voldy couldn't come back...destroying his body so it couldn't host Voldemort if his plan failed. I'm so glad he's in the light though, I was hoping for more than that, but it's enough. But I see the story isn't over, so maybe there is hope after all....on to the next chapter.

oooooooo...Draco is about to get in Calixa's ass! Maybe it wasn't her, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was! I hope it was her cause I never liked the bitch anyway, if it wasn't her, she probably knows who it was..right? I'm glad Hermione isn't giving up and go Draco for hunting her down and his passion and committment to Harry...OK, can't wait to see what happens when the masks come off...on to the next chapter : )

Oh Damn! I was so wrong...but then again, I was right..I had a hunch initially that Harry had did this to himself, but Calixa being introduced as possibility was a distraction. Wow, you put a lot of thought into this story. It's a bit bittersweet because I thought Harry was begging Draco to obey because he hated hurting him, not because he didn't want to endure any more pain from healing him...that makes his desire for Draco to obey a little more selfish. But then again, him taking the curse to heal Draco erases all of that...talk about love! That puts a whole different spin on the punishments he was giving Draco...taking pain for giving it. Hmmm, hmm, I don't even have to comment, you know what's going on my head about that : )

But there's hope!! This is looking like a happy ending..I just hope too much damage hasn't been done...Right now Harry seems to be really jacked up.

Great! I ruined my mascara by crying. lol That was a very moving chapter. I am afraid of how Draco will handle it if Harry doesn't make it. I hope he does.

Ch. 37 Hmmm. I hate to nitpick in an otherwise so excellent story. But Harry's capitulation to Draco's pleas seems a little too quick. Draco talks to him for less than seven minutes and he decides to walk out of the darkness? Tsk tsk.

Nevertheless, the quick ending in this chapter doesn't detract from the communal feeling at the end of it. Calixa is reluctant to admit anything good about Gryffindors but at least she came through in the end. Maybe this will herald a new age at Hogwarts, one where the sorting by that stupid Hat doesn't matter so much. A unified front is much better than inner bickering because of a bit of felt. (I always felt that Sorting Hat was an idiotic idea, anyway.)

Ch. 38 Damn, to have Harry die like that, after everything they've been through is truly misery personified. He's already made his goodbyes but maybe Draco needs real closure, the admissal of love instead of despair.
