When I first read the summary and read the first few chapters, I just wasn't sure if this story was my cup of tea. Wow, was I wrong. I so enjoyed this story just as much as all your other stories. Draco and Harry have seem to have made quite the journey in their relationship. Another fine job and am looking forward to seeing how you end it.

I have enjoyed your story and in a perculiar way. I recently had an eye surgery that did not work out as hoped. That left me unable to read for a while. However my poor sainted husband decided that instead of killing me when I complanined of boredom that he should find a way to keep me quiet but alive. Aparently our somputer has a software that reads documents that I had not noticed before and; Ta Ta! I was able to enjoy your story.

The peculiar thing is that the reader sounds like a british robot. However you are so good at describing feelings that I did not need the inflection to know what was going on.

I am very intrigued by youor story and of course the identity of the psyco, er, impostor. The most moving character to me at the moment is Luciys because his pain runs deeper and how cruel to find out that your spouse never loved you and to even find yourself doubting your fatherly love. A decade of that agony seems intolerable and I hope he finds some peace. Severus is just cool, I cannot find it in me ot ever dislike him.

I appologize for any and all mistakes since I am unable to read what I am typping. I hope you are able to understand at least that I really like your story.

I'm unsure if I disliked Narcissa's latest entry because of the mood Lucius was in or if I honestly disliked her allegations. I definitely felt sorry for Lucius and also worried and hopeful over where he'll take his revelations. He seemed upset, so I'm not sure what he'll do, but I'm glad he no longer seems himself as inferior to Narcissa.

Before it was different I think. Here, she stated that no one else could love Draco, which was sad in a way. I understand her feeling that no one else would protect him, as she had a husband who would give Draco up to the Dark Lord, and Draco didn't really have trustworthy friends, from a certain angle of viewing. It was quite shocking to hear of why she ended up dying, making Bella jealous. I suppose I had assumed it was greater, something even as direct as getting in the way of a blast or something. I think I remember Lucius thinking that she had gotten Bella upset, but I hadn't thought it was because she had tried to seduce the Dark Lord.

It was also sad to see Harry seeing Draco's actions as calculating with every movement even if he is probably correct. That is certainly what I worried over with most of this story, but now that Draco has bared his soul finally, it is quite a time for Harry to be suspicious. Although, this is a good course of action I think, but I wish Draco didn't see it as a quid pro quo deal. "Embarass" himself but for more sex.

I love your Skeeter articles, so I look forward to this interview/article. Wonderful job with this chapter. This is quite possibly the greatest story you written in regards to where my support is given, and where it is taken away as a reader. Very much a rollercoaster.

woooooooo!! I've reached the updated of most updated chapters!

one comment: i find it funny how the object that makes Draco realize the truths about his obsession about Harry (thus allowing him to change/whatnot) is referred to by Draco as a blob.

a blob. lol. you'd think because he's so beauty-obsessed/strives to create an atmosphere of sophistication that it'd be called something more dignified than a blob. but it's funny.


anyway, i love everything happening so far. because the story is compelling. it's good. i like the plot and that that imposter is still on the loose even though it almost looked like he was about to reach an end. it will be interesting to see what happens with him next time. i enjoyed every single chapter- you are such a talented writer! i can't wait to see what happens next- both in terms of harry/draco's relationship and what'll happen with the imposter. great work!

THAT CHAPTER WAS INCREDIBLY....good. wonderful. i loved it. draco, so stupid for trying to pull a stunt like that on harry....oh man. i can't wait to click 'next'.

Good! I can see a few more chapters yet. D & H have to grow together much more. I wonder if you plan any more miss-steps for their relationship?
