Lovely. I just finished reading 'Bloody but Unbowed' and I can see that that same level of writing has been applied to this story as well. I eagerly await your next update.

You know, I'm getting the feeling when you see me mention ''doing humorous/happy stories'', you really DO think I'm talking comedy.

NO! No way, you're too much of a serious writer to do something in
the vein of writing a ''laugh-til-you-fall-off-your-chair-onto-your-butt''
story.

I'm mostly referring to what I've seen thus far in past stories. I've noticed
your SUBTLE sense of humor, whether it's witty sarcasm or just plain dry wit.

Now, THAT is something I like. When such ''humor'' hits you when you least
expect it, like your ability to use outrageous names for annoying characters, you
had did that in the ''A Potion named Desire'' series.

I think it was Mr. Porkface or something similar...

Did you realize you were doing that or does that type of humor for you just
come out unexpectedly???

I know it does for me.

Anyway, not to beat a dead horse, but I was trying to show you I wasn't
talking COMEDY per se, just a story with a ''wicked sense of humor''.

Get what I mean?

about #4...

I starting to feel that Draco's ''obsession'' [or more like delusion] comes from
the fact he feels that it isn't fair that Harry was ''fawned over'' by the public
and friends and having the nerve to bask in it, while Draco endured the hardship
of being a Malfoy and the expected task that befell him at such a young age.

Sounds childish...and delusional.

He needs a wakeup call.

mmm i see dracos plan failing....could i be wrong? i hope not lol...

well have to see how this goes. I think Draco subconsiusly knows he liked Harry and I'm looking forward to seeing how you will portray this in the long run. Great read!

Yes. It is fun to read Draco's point of view more, merely because of the undisclosed way of whether Draco's gestures, to himself, are willful or unconcious. When it is in Harry's point of view, I'm too suspicious to not think of them as all vindictive. It is creepy hearing him constantly rain the wordless, uncommunicative threat that he will embarass Harry's reputation. What did bother me though was when Draco confirmed the reason why he chose this secretive arena rather than their old physical/magical fights in the old days. I was just surprised to heart that he willfully chose the arena because he knew he would be at an advantage. Not that I don't know he is a Slytherin, but perhaps I am too used to the Dracos in your stories that fight very hard to get on equal footing, and to fight on anything less would be less meaningful. Great job so far.

(Chapter 4)


Well, Draco has what he wanted, for the time being anyway. I wonder though...it just seems strange that an Auror with as much experience as Kingsley Shacklebolt wouldn't be able to tell when someone was lying. Or, perhaps he can? Harry is infatuated with Draco, so his belief in Draco makes sense, but Kingsley...I don't know. I'm glad we'll get to see some of Narcissa's diaries, to be able to find out what has affected Lucius so much.

Looking forward to the update.

Huh.. Draco is so going to breack his perfect little nose when he take that particular fall. I can feel the excruciating anguish even from here, though haven't even written it probably.. it's like I can taste the impending drama on my tongue. Well, I love it.. I dig into you torturing the boys eheheee, but I think Lucius will be an ally to Harry in a most unexpected way, for both supposedly. I can't wait for the twists and turns you're going to make with this one!!

sneaky bastard, but i love it!

Only on Chap. 3...and already there is a sense of foreboding.

Have you ever done happy stories???

Huh.. nice father figure. hmmmm... I wonder what Lucius will do. The easiest thing would be to tell Harry about Draco's feelings being more serious than he himself gives them credit. But I'm sure his pride wouldn't let him.. and it wouldn't be funny otherwise, now would it?
