Wow! What a chapter! I would have loved to see the look on Lucious Malfoy's face when he realizes Draco practically paid for the gay play.! I can't wait for more!

Good chapter.
Interesting conversation between Narcissa and Draco. Won't Draco be mad at Narcissa that she didn't tell him right away (even though he already knew?)
Won't the Aurors know that Harry Potter cast the spell and not "Brian" because it's not like you can change your magical signature. Even if you change wands, your magical signature is still going to stay the same. Yes, the spell will be register on the wand that was used, whether or not if the wand in question is register to be yours, but the magical signature will stay the same. So the Aurors would know that Harry cast it. Will they be able to trace Harry's steps from the theatre to Malfoy Manor and if they do, then it's all over, right?
update

Interesting development. I wonder if Draco has considered the implications of Harry planning so far ahead of him and taking things he hadn't thought of in consideration. He should be leery of Harry, since he knows he's trying to make Draco lose interest. The whole seeing a play within a play concept you executed was really cool, and it's funny that Draco is driving change in not only disrupting the plans of others but Harry's as well. I don't know if that will turn out to backfire on him or not. I hope it doesn't drive Harry to do something drastic to shake Draco....well, I just hope Harry comes to his senses really. The interaction with Narcissa was really strange, was she on the verge of just telling him? I find it funny that Draco seems to be able to read everyone but his own mother, I wonder what that says about their relationship or what Narcissa may be doing to mask herself, even around her family. I found myself blushing when Harry was making sexual innuendo with Draco because somehow I feel that he knew that Draco knew he was Harry Potter saying that stuff to him he would never, you wonder if Harry can only be Harry when he has the security of an identity to hide behind. I like how Draco is noticing that things Brian does are shades of Harry which again points to the possibility that maybe Brian is more Harry than even Harry knows. I think Harry maybe wrong about this revolution, he is a bit jaded and cynical and underestimates the power of young people to drive a movement. I hope there is one, and I hope it's huge and leaves him no choice but to stand by his man to see it through to the end. Whether the revolution works or not, I hope Draco gets a chance to try that new position out that they haven't tried...something tells me Harry is in for the buggering of his life, tee-hee.lol. GREAT update, as usual!

Ah, I was wondering where Draco had planned for the 'sparking incident' to take place but a theater is perfection. Young would outnumber old, yet you could be sure that the location was tasteful and that the youths were pure-blood and harbored some intelligence. Brilliant and I must say, much more dramatic reaction than expected. And while Harry's dialogue still seems to be in character, I saw his self-sacrificing action as much more Potter than Brian. He is becoming dangerously lax in his upkeep of the Brian mask, Brian and Harry seem to be blending into a third alternate personality, one part Brian and one part Potter. Dodgy, to say the least. It's so frustrating that each character is holding pieces of the puzzle and if they simply shared information they would have the whole picture. Frustrating in a pleasingly tingly way. I loved Narcissa's interaction in this, she seems much more complex than I first gave her credit for and I am foolishly hoping that she will discover that Draco already knows Harry's identity as I would be interested to see where her mind would take her. It creates a very intriguing picture of exactly what she and Lucius' marriage consists of and I am sure that Lucius time and again underestimates her (as I did myself). Draco seems closest to completing the puzzle and I am dying to see how Counterstrike, Harry, Draco's parents, the revolution, and everything else will combine to hinder his fitting together of the last piece as this is hardly over. Thank you for sharing this! You are wonderful and your writing has lost none of its depth, complexity, or intrigue! Update soon!

Awesome, awesome story!!! I love it! The reaction wasn't quite what I was expecting... but totally awesome anyway! Keep up the excellent writing!
~rah~

Omg...I hope Draco isn't going to write: Yeah...Brian is harry Potter...I think oyu didn't know..
because well...harry would be happy to find out and then it wouldn't be such a mistery XD

What a psychological standoff. Draco, Harry, Narcissa and Lucius each think they are in control of the situation. But each is missing a piece of the puzzle. Draco seems closer to putting everything together than anyone else. But knowing you anything could happen in the next chapter.

The game

Its as if Draco and Harry are actually dating each other behind Brian's back, Harry just doesn't know it. While Draco still finds Brian attractive, he's engaged in analyzing what's Harry and what's Brian, and what about Harry he likes, and what irritates him, much like a first date. The courtship of the relationship that will end up mattering the most has officially just begun and Harry wasn't alerted to the sound of the starting cannon.

Thank you,

Sooo need chapter 17!! All of this could be avoided if only Harry knew! They could be working together!
