That last bit made me giggle. I absolutely loved the wind down of Draco's screams to later recognition. That was well played out. This imposter deal is certainly throwing me for a loop even still. It was strange for your to have written that Harry noticed that the imposter seemed to have been screaming for awhile before, like Draco had. The words spewing out of his mouth made me think of the imposter as a fan or perhaps as a younger more petulant Draco. If this is a timeturner deal, or mirror world Draco, I suppose that Harry's constant involvement in the case (even before Draco knew) could have caused this imposter problems as far as taking over Draco's life. Especially with the imposter's words of "reflection and reality". But then again it could be some fan who planned, wrought with a different kind of obsession, that wanted to assume Draco's life for his own. I am a bit surprised that Harry is letting go of the case (although he will be banned) so easily, but I'm became less surprised by it by the end, with Harry's reaction described as they were. Although I'm a bit more surprised that Harry thought Draco would be indifferent towards the letter after the initial reading. Which suggests how little Harry knows about his feelings, as you said, since he doesn't even realize how well he knows Draco and certainly how much Draco cares for him. Haha. Now I'm back on the "happy ending" train. lol Funny what a chapter filled with so many emotions and revelations can do. Great job.

GO HARRY!!!! WOOOT!!!

Sooo need chapter 19!!! Watch out Draco!!!

WAY TO GO, HARRY!!! Walk away with your head held high and make that shit chase after you.

I'm rather glad that he didn't decide to kidnap Harry. There is very little about this chapter I don't love. Skeeter's writing was interesting, even moreso with that it was of a different context (obviously) than I've read in either fanfiction or the books. I enjoyed reading about her looks into Draco's character, sort of sifting her way through into the minds of her readers so that they might get the taste of her perceptions, even though that shouldn't have place in a newspaper. That was really on key with what she did back when she interviewed Harry fourth year. Harry's letter was amazing. I loved the beginning of the second paragraph and the last bit that he wrote next to his name. I'm so proud of his reactions. As a character I would never suppose that he would react another way, but with this bond (that I can't quite measure) I wasn't sure how far you'd take it. I don't hate Draco. Certainly I'm concerned for him, and I do feel a bit of the pity Harry described. I don't see Harry as dropping this case, no matter what happens, which is especially important since I see Ron convincing him to leave and Snape's perceptions of how everyone will treat Draco now (for hurting Harry) proving true. I am totally at a loss as to where you will take this, or even how I want this to end. It is funny, but I can't say I'm going to hate it if they don't end up together together at this point. Thanks for the chapter (this is what I've been waiting for). :)

hahhaha. what a stupid sod! great chapter btw.

Sooo need chapter 18!! Oh Draco has me worried now? What is he planning to do?

This makes me panic a bit. Mostly because I'm always on guard for Draco's unstable emotions and reading that Harry felt he was in love, was so Harry and, in effect, so very horrid. Draco's last bit does make me wonder if he finally understood his own downfall (should he betray harry) because they came together, and if he wouldn't have understood if he had retained "the upper hand". I am a bit scared that that "one solution" he has left isn't the romantic solution of just falling for Harry, and is rather something more drastic...not killing Harry (?) probably, but kidnapping him? I have a feeling that at some point Harry is going to see that "shrine". Kidnapping him would allow Draco alot of room if he went about it correctly seeing as he could complete his obsession's wishes. That would definitely be motive for a "time skip" Draco if that theory is still good (I'm not confidant in it much anymore).

Otherwise, yeah. I didn't think of that. Of course Harry wouldn't be thinking of anything but an "imposter" because he, himself, saw all the timeturners be destroyed. And it was Draco musing to himself, who thought of it. The twin thing, I didn't remember the time difference. But I assume that if this is just a "regular" imposter, that he didn't and wasn't able to just go through with his plan in a short amount of time. The twin would still have to get down those mannerisms afterall. So for now, other than the regular imposter, I'm still holding onto this theory. I suppose this chapter wouldn't have gone another way, as Harry's own ability to think was bogged down with the magical euphoria he was experiencing in Avalon, not to mention the presence of Draco. I really loved that line about "lowering of the eyelids", because maybe its just because I just finished watching "Primal Fear" but that psycho quality was quite amusing to me. And of course I'm enjoying this story. It is one of those stories that piss me off...in a good way. lol Truly driving me crazy. Wonderful job.

you almost feel sorry for draco, but...he'll get over it :)

Excellent, simply wondrous. I love how you incorporated the sense that Avalon is not merely a physical place w/ magic infused in it, but is made of pure and ancient magic itself.Thank you so much for updating it so quickly.
