Jesus! Nusante is seriously pissing me off. He doesn't want his spotlight taken from him, but he won't get off Harry's back. Frankly, Harry Potter doesn't owe anyone anything. He killed Voldemort, which was his only obligation to the wizarding world. Every time Nusante spouts crap about Harry's efforts not being good enough, I want to reach into my computer screen and throttle the man.

Don't get me wrong--your portrayal of the character is excellent; if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to get so angry. Still, if someone could maybe beat some sense into him, I would be much obliged.

Forgot to add: I am exceedingly happy that Harry is realizing that Harry Potter is just as good a person and worthy a persona as the rest of them. Good! It's about time! Now if he would just stand up for himself instead of sympathizing with Jerkface Nusante, all would be well. (But if all was well, where would the story be? ;D)

Must say, that I had seen this story a couple of times, but had chosen not to read it, because the summary did not catch my attention. Obviously I have now read the whole story, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to the next installment.
I like your version of a tortured Harry. I find him very believable. Your Draco is the man I always new he could be :P

I am just in total and complete love with this story. I just got to read several updates all at once, and that was absolute heaven. Your character studies make most of what is being written right now seem like juvenile fumblings at best, yours is a rate talent, thank you for sharing it with us.

Exciting chapter! Can't wait to see Harry handle his friends and throw this party!

I have one critique: While I understand that PDA is a new novelty for Draco and Harry, I don't really see them randomly interupting conversations to makeout. It's classy to hold hands, keep some form of body contact etc, but I would think that Draco would not be the type to interupt conversations to french his lover (rather rude and tacky). Or is he trying to see how a stranger will respond?

Well, another great chapter.
I like how Harry is starting to play with his role as war hero. I think that

As I read this, I can't help BUT wonder if you had ever been in this situation
OR just know someone who has been in this situation where they had to defend
themselves when it came to their preferences.

Because you wrote this well enough to make a curious person think. Have you
been to a rally?

Also, I like the 'Awakening of Harry Potter', I say it's about time.

Going great! Watching Harry change is quite interesting how it seems to catch even he off guard.
