Just wondering when will the bond magic end its influence on them...when Harry becomes strong mind again? I am also very interested in the new discussion about the bond with Hermione...would she really ask Harry to end it? How's about Ron? Or Ginny?

Okay, this has to be the cutest chapter ever! Even if Harry still doesn't think Draco and he are right for each other, and that he still wants to end up with Ginny, I still had a goofy smile on my face at the end. I'm also finding myself really enjoying your portrayal of Narcissa. I love that she's a strong female character in this story, one that even Draco looks up to. As a supporting character, in my mind, she's damn useful at moving the story forward.

About Ch 22:

Love love love love love! I feel that when Harry is allowed to go back to the regular world and the blood wards are dropped there's going to be a resurgence of his stubbornness and a lot less intimacy but while it was here I really enjoyed it. Will there be another band on the ring for sexual attraction at some point? Or is that kind of relationship actually promoted as paart of the original bond? My understanding of the original was that it was geared more towards companionate love or friendship but Harry's concerns have me curious.

wow. I bet at the moment Harry feels a bit like a deer with it's hoof trapped in a rock fall at the bottem of a rappidly filling pool, swallowed whole and drowning in the intencity... although that might not be a bad thing. bonded or not, having someone that's unequivically got his back would be good for him, though I also think Draco needs to slow down a bit I think, Harry isn't quite ready for that sort of intencity yet.

awwww, can't really say more than that

I just finished chapter 21, and I enjoyed that Harry's feelings for Draco are strengthening into something close to an actual romantic relationship, although Harry doesn't think so just yet. I also liked that there was a little Draco/Ron interaction. If Harry and Draco do end up together, than I'm guessing Draco will need to interact with Harry's friends fairly regularly, and vice versa.

I love your story but I understood what happened to Harry while he was locked up for so long in the dark and horrible scars these AHG, it scares me.
Draco ever closer to Harry that Harry maybe I love it arrives.

The description of the beast in Harry's back was terrifying. I love your pacing with this story, but each revelation makes me greedy for more.

Have I already told you how awesome your story is and you as a writer are? If not, I apologise. You have real talent at constructing your stories and crafting your characters (particularly: you've written many stories about Harry and Draco and you've managed to make the story and them different each time!), and this story is a prime example of it.
I love how the relationship between Harry and Draco has evolved so subtly on both sides. Now I only wished Harry would let go of his stubborn misconceptions and Draco would let himself feel more instead of following family rules (although I think he's definitely making progress, as Narcissa has perceptively noticed). It feels obvious now that Harry has let himself open up and trust Draco like with no-one else before, and I can't see how he can still expect a normal relationship with Ginny with his traumas. Also, he keeps thinking that the marriage bond influences and controls his feelings, but it seems to me (although I could be wrong) that the bond strengthens depending on their actions and feelings, it doesn't decide for them but is fed by their trust in each other... Of course, with his friends against it, it is not helping Harry get over his hesitations. I wonder how you'll make him realise that he only thinks he's in love with Ginny because he's idealised their couple (in my opinion). Plus, the relationship between Draco and him is still platonic at the moment, so that's also something I look forward to see you work on.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful story with us!

Obviously the bond is working, it is using all it can have to change Harry's feeling...yet the question is: how does Harry feel about this whole event? And for Draco, I don't know where does the possessiveness and protectiveness come from, yet he does have an advantage over Ginny - he is more accustomed to and is willing to accept the new Harry, e.g. the wounds, the darkness and the fear...

BTW, who is the culprit? Who can get pass the wards of the Ministry?
