yep, exactly, not much action but the underlying tension.. what really irked me was Nusantes letter.. one should have him sat straight (not pun intended) with Draco's thoughts from the previous one!! Don't complain to someone not having solved THEIR problems long ago. (As if Harry hasn't given enough ensuring Nu and his buddies a future they can actually HAVE these problems in...) But I was very impressed by Harrys reply.. got a kind of literary finality to it that makes it an important moment!!
Well, on and at 'em!

I am so excited for the upcoming chapter!!!
I slightly forgive Nusante... I can understand where he's coming from.
Where is Lucius is all of this? I REALLY want to know what he has up his sleeve now....
update!

Hmmm, Draco likes forceful Harry...or maybe he just likes progress. Its a hard choice. The one stable point in this situation: Draco
loves Harry. After this, all facts, faces, opinions, and actions are negotiable and hard to predict. I think I might just have to marry
you. Seriously, in a worshipful kind of idolized way. I'm just kidding. Okay, so I've been prescribed cough medicine, and right now I'm
just very loving. Its good for everyone. I think I may be a little too excited about this party, I want me some Powerful!Harry, and
some Equal Rights!Draco and some couples fighting.
Anywhooo...
Thank you,

oh sooky sooky now-the shit is about to go down, and I'm more than ready!!! I love the line about Draco putting his nails into Harry and Harry reveling in the feeling of it because it anchors him in his body and the here and now. Harry is finding himself more and more, and he's come a long way, and I love how Draco is bringing him along unconsciously and unintentionally in how he reacts to him. They really are made for each other in this story and it's a beautiful thing to read. I love how Harry is now using the characteristics and protective gestures/mannerisms of his personas to be *himself* in tough situations. It's what most of us do really and the fact that he's conscious of this and sometimes not is a awesome sign that not only does he believe in himself but he finally is able to recognize who he is and what he's capable of. Nusante can suck a big fat one as far as I'm concerned. He has no right....but whatever, Harry is a real man and a real hero and he's gonna just suck up all the stupid criticism and do the right thing. It only makes me love him more in this story. I just hope I'm not placing too much confidence in Hero!Harry and I hope he's not being over confident either...which feels like a strange thing to say since I've been wishing for him to get over his insecurity since this began. I like this Garrett lady and I hope she puts people in their place and schools them, well as much as ignorant folks can be schooled about things they really don't want to learn about. I hope this party doesn't turn into a blood bath and Harry really can hold his own against the shady plans of Lucius and whoever else wishes to bring hell to their door. I don't see a death warning, so I'm hoping you won't make it too tragic. I'll want to kick Lucius you say? I already do, but it sounds like you're gonna make me hate this man, hopefully not permanently. No word from Ron and Hermione yet? Probably a bad sign. I can't wait to see how the civil rights fight for freedom to be yourself, freedom to love who you want, and for Harry, the freedom to be Harry Potter all goes down...what a GREAT teaser and set up chapter. Can't wait 'til Friday!

This story was/is so good that I spent an entire night reading the whole thing. I really like the concept that the story started off with as well the path the plot has taken. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I love this Harry. but what's more, I love Harry noticing this newer, more complete version of Harry. It's so appropriate that he doesn't necessarily recognize his actions as his own, but he understands the level his relationship with Draco needs to reach to succeed. And I feel like he's slowly beginning to understand that he actually does draw characteristics through personalities, but those ultimately always come from him.

Great chapter :) I can't wait to see how staging a public event will turn out!

Alright, So I just got back from celebrating the closing night of a show with quite a few friends, so I'm not exactly at my most coherent,
however, even in my inebriated state, I can still smell a storm brewing. Oh how I love political/moral/emotional conflict. And the fight
that our beautiful characters are going to be embroiled in in the next few chapters is a glorious amalgamation of all three of those. So
basically, the general emotion on this side of this computer is...drunk actor excitement.
Thank you,

chapter 33! it was so good (: -while i was waiting for your update i read most of all your other stories and spent all of today (from when i got back home) reading "building with worn out tools" and in that story it was utterly amazing, but if i say so myself i prefer this one better.
im so happy that draco was able to make up with his best friends though (:
and may i have your livejournal? i find it easier to track updates there than on here xD.
great chapter as always!
