I really liked Nusante until this chapter. But now? What an asshole!!! As were most of those people at the gathering...I can't believe people can't look past Harry's status and empathize with his difficult position and the painful process of coming out that is magnified tenfold by his celebrity. I just wanted him to tell them to all f*ck off!! I'm so glad Draco said what he said and defended him. And I'm so glad he reassured Harry the way he did when they left. Draco is da shit in this story. The way you've written him he's so mature, perceptive, strong-willed, and protective and that's exactly what Harry needs right now. I'm a bit leery about Blaise now...why do I get the feeling that he's not comfortable with Harry and Draco's relationship and that he may cause problems? I hope I'm wrong. Oh I do wish people knew how much Harry's been aiding the gay and bisexual community all these years. I hope that will come out eventually in some way? I guess though it would defeat the purpose of his business though. Arggh!! I'm so glad that Harry whipped his magic on them though! I LOVE how you always write Harry as powerful, even when he's carrying himself under the guise as something less than what he is. I also love the way the merciless voice is getting fainter and more silent as these chapters go, maybe by the end of this story he won't even expect to hear from that voice because he'll recognize it as his own. LOVED the last line of this chapter because it reminiscent of the theme of the whole Harry Potter series. Love as the best defense is running theme through out Harry's life, and you're drawing on it perfectly here to battle so many kinds of issues. Speaking of the last line in this chapter, what is Lucius up to now? Can't wait to find out, anyway, another AWESOME update. : ))

Grrrr.

I rather liked Nusante as a character, until now. Does he even realize how stupid he sounds? He might as well have come out and shouted "You're HARRY POTTER so you must be obligated to let us use and manipulate you for whatever we deem important." Someone needs to kick him in the shins.
Besides, it's not as if he just popped out of nowhere. He's been a driving force in the rebellion all along, as Brian and Elizabeth.

I love Draco in this chaper though. He's SO protective of Harry and it's SO adorable. And I love how...together he is in this story. I don't think Harry's emotional state is reaaaaally as bad off as it seems-- and I think a good bout of venting (namely at Ron and Hermione) would do him a world of good. But nonetheless he's definitely going to need Draco to be his rock in the next few chapters.

Can't wait for the next! Andria

My.. that wasn't one but the whole array of reactions that needed to be sorted out!! Most interesting the Slytherins of course, who would it be anyway *g*
I see the news coming and some things crashing down reaaal fast!!

oohh very good chapter,yummy lol up date soon

I know that Nusante isn't such a bad guy, he's just nervous, and not quite used to being a leader, but damn, if I didn't want to punch him
in this chapter. Where exactly is the sign on Harry's forehead that reads 'for use of public at large'? It is vaguely disturbing that
even small alienated groups such as these find themselves turning to Harry Potter with all of their problems the moment he presents himself,
even after such a long period of time. When no one knew that he was already so closely involved, every little suggestion of his assistance
or involvement was met with pleasure and eagerness. However, when he makes himself available to the group, they all get together and decide
that its his fault if his presence has negative effects, but if it has positive effects, it doesn't matter, because he didn't cause them
soon enough. I understand desperation, and nerves, but I've never heard it said that either of those must lead to mass hypocrisy.
Just saying...
Didn't mean to sound so angry.
Thank you,

I loved getting the chance to see the interaction between Harry and Draco sexually without the immediate intense rush of passion, lust, and of the connection they share. You wrote a completely new type of intimacy, which I think ties in perfectly with Harry slowly moving towards and back into himself again. Exhaustion was obviously part of the decision, but that deep sexual connection almost allowed them to skim over the details that matter so much in a relationship. This was just them, loving each other, and there was something amazing beautiful about the way you wrote that.

Great chapter - I'm always so pleased to see that you've updated... enough so that I actually manage to make myself review most of the time :)

A very nice chapter, thanks! I'm a bit concerned about Harry's friends' reaction. If Harry doesn't tell them before it hits the newspapers then that's going to be even more a betrayal and perhaps one to never forgive. Harry should tell them right away...with Draco close by, I still don't trust Harry when he's with Ron, he seems to retreat to the weak poor Harry...

I really liked this chapter and how everyone reacted to Harry. It showed Draco something I don't think Harry could have explaned for him, just how bad it can be. I'm looking forward to the next chapter! :-)

That was really awesome, and unexpected.

I like what you did with Nusante.
I really admire your ability (amongst others..) to make an entire person out of a couple of lines. He

Sooo need chapter 33! I hope Draco can convince his friends!
