Best line ever: "There was something cosmically unfair about the existence of a person who managed to turn a reference to the Dark Mark into flirtation."
Interesting that Harry's acting more Slytherin now...
Great chapter!
update!

Wonderful work, I especially loved the humorous ending! ^_^ So, it looks like things are moving along and hopefully Harry will be kept on his toes for a little while longer. Thanks for the update and keep up the good work! =}

Hey, loving the story thus far- if we could tie you to a computer all day and make you write I'm sure we would!
Any chance we get to see harry conversing with snakes. It's a skill that doesn't get a lot of serious spotlight and I'd love to see how the Malfoy's will handle it. Just something to think about.

Alright. That's exactly why I love your writing :)

That was the most perfect decription of a kiss. It was just so sweet, not even wanting more, but not wanting it to stop. You have a real talent for writing. Please update soon ;)

I'm hooked. Not only on this story but to the H/D- Pairing as well. I didn't think I could get into this couple but you made it possible.
For weeks I've been reading your fics and have been enjoying them immensely.
I have to say I'm a lazy reviewer. Partly that's because it takes time to write, I'm not a native English speaker.
So to make it up to you this review is a bit larger.

Generally about all your stories:

You are really good in writing the pre-bed emotional banter, the chase (whether it's Draco or Harry doing it). In my opinion that's the real spice in slash stories.
Your facts and your storylines are well thought out, you do your research.
The angsty parts are comprehensible and intensive but at the same time not exaggerated, which IMO is a result of a certain level of grown-up emotional intelligence I do appreciate.
You certainly are knowledgeable about gay sex, your lemons are great. I'm so fed up with people writing slash and ot having a clue how sex between two men works (which for instance leads to needless cruelty in lemons).

About this story:

I don't know where to start, the setup of the characters triggers so many of my kinks. ;)
The whole "you give us your blood and we'll make you a part of our family and smother you in love and luxury whether you like it or not"- thing is so well written, I LOVE it.
Also, little things like Draco's "desire look" give me goosebumps in delight...
Needless to say I can't wait to read every new chapter.

I do have my suspicions about the oh so goody-goody healer Pontiff. Why didn't she recognise Harry's headache curse?
In regard to a motive she would have been the first one to recognise Harry's true abilities and probably felt her position threatened when he came to St. Mungo's.
Is that reason enough to do something that lets him fail the potions exam? Or meddle with his concentration (either talk him into believing he had a problem or doing something 'real').
Also, Harry seems much too dependent on her for my liking...
And she seems to be clever enough for the Lucius plot, Emptyweed IMO isn't.
Well, these are just speculations, I'm looking forward to how this will turn out.

One last thing: I really appreciate your regular and frequent updates. You must be busy as a bee. :)
