It feels like, in a deranged, not really, kind of way, I'm watching a story about The Hulk. Maybe I'm influenced by the release of the movie,
but I have some qualifiers. Harry's ability is something that he can't change, though his isn't as dangerous, and he doesn't actually want
to get rid of it, it scares the people around him, and the ones he tells about it, save perhaps Draco, want to make it stop. He has a huge
confrontation with most of the important people in his life and then, when the sun comes up on the next day, he's still using it, but now,
he's using it as a tool for Harry, instead of a cover for Harry. He's learned to control the portrayal of his abilities. I know I didn't say ]
alot today, but the story is at a happy place (kinda) right now, and we all know that happiness needs much less comment than despair.

Thank you,

Before I say anything else, I just want you to know that I have loved every story that you have written and don't ever plan to miss out on any future writings you may endevour to complete. I have been keeping up with everything but haven't reviewed because I felt that everyone else has broached any questions I might have had and you have answered them. Personally, I feel that Harry has gotten the short end of the stick since his parents were killed and it just didn't get any better. He is human but no one wants to allow him to be so. Powers mean nothing if he doesn't have a health outlook on himself or his position in life. All of the reasons he feels he is a failure are just normal everyday human faults. If I was to scrutinize every time I let someone down by just forgetting or not completing something because I didn't want to, MAN, in his state of mind I would have killed myself by now. I'm glad that you have written the story in this approach with Draco as a balancing factor because it always seemed to me that Rowlings Harry Potter could have used something to temper his feelings of guilt. A little Slytherin goes a long way, you know. Thank you again for the masterful writing and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the story will unfold from here.

Yay! Harry made a big leap in feeling whole :)

great chapter, great read! :-)

That was almost too painful to read. Please take this as a compliment for your writing, and thank you for updating so soon after.

What a wonderful chapter, one of the most gripping you have done, and it brought tears to my eyes.

Yep, definitely a bit shizo, but not in the ordinary kind of way (what is ever ordinary with HARRY POTTER?) Well, and I can also see where this came from.. now they just have to sort out this mess with Hermione and Ron, and fast at that.. but your descriptions of Harry's world are so fascinating and heart-wrenching... beautiful!!

I thoroughly enjoy the mature configuration of this Harry. He perfectly flawed and heartened. Sanity is a construct that all of us hide behind.

I enjoy Draco's embrace of what Harry has done to adapt. I wish most fanfic could be as pure as this creation. You are a gifted student of persona.

There is so much emotional turmoil going on in Harry's life that it's truly a wonder that he hasn't committed suicide yet. Even though you can't talk about what Lucius has done yet, I dread what will happen in future chapters. Will Harry's psyche ever be put to rest? Will he and Draco eventually end up together and happy with no one to interfere? And why doesn't someone AK Hermione for deciding what's best for Harry? After all, he knows that he's nuts, and he's happy that way. I WANT HAPPY! Am I ever going to get it? For more than a chapter? I really love this story, but I hate it at the same time. My emotions are run over, built back up, then SMASHED again. You are a wonderful writer. Keep up the good work.

Wow.

What a chapter. Your writing leaves me breathless, sometimes. The way you captured Harry's disease here, the way his mind twisted everything and convinced him to try to make the potion, and then Draco's perfect way of knowing just how to handle him, even when he didn't actually know... It was just beautiful. Harry needed to realize he didn't have to be 'normal' or good or any of those other words. He just had to be all of himself, for both himself and Draco.

Really, I'm a bit in awe right now :)

I can't tell you how good I think this concept is. It's really really good! Maybe it's just me being a psychology nerd, but if you changed this around a bit so it wasn't HP related, and cleaned it up a tad I would totally buy it from Borders. It's really excellent!
