Hi there! My name's Arty and I just had to say something....

This is the best fanfiction I have ever read. Period. Now, I don't read very many FF, or even all the time, but this one was special. I'll be honest, I was just looking for an old Harry/Fred/George fic that I hadn't read in a while when I noticed yours and I decided to give it a read. I'm so happy I did because once I got into the first couple chapters I just couldn't stop! I started on Monday, read all night, read a little at work and did the same thing Tuesday and Wednesday. Every night I fought with myself over the need to sleep and needing to read just one more chapter. I was so invigorated and invested. I used to read all the time when I was little and would stay up through the night with my books, reading. Harry Potter among them of course! It's been so long since a written work has captured my attention like this story has and it actually reminded me just how much I love to read. Your style, the characters, the world you built; it's all just so capitulating that I loved every word.

So, that was my overall impression but I have specific stuff too:

First off, the Leolin saga, thank you so much for letting him live! I gasped out loud when he fell ill and I just became more and more sad as the story went on. And then, when I saw that the next chapter was named "Goodbye" I lost it and starting crying and whispering to myself "No, please no!". I've become so attached to the little guy that it broke my heart to think he wasn't going to live. On top of the pain his fathers were feeling. It was hard to even read the chapter because I didn't want to read the words that he died. When he pulled through I was as happy as I have ever been reading a story. The thing to understand too, is that I've only cried because of a book twice: when I read the last words in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, and The Green Mile. I'm not a crier but you really pulled my heartstrings with that one. Amazing job!

Secondly, I always personally loved Draco. From the books to the movies I emphasized with him and his situation so I've really enjoyed reading him growing up and become such a warm man not only to his mates but to his children as well. Just a soft spot for me and I love it every time I see an instance. (Also as I side note: I'm so hopeful we get to see a little Draco baby before this story ends. I know just by numbers from Scaled that at least one has to be his but I'd love to read how he reacts to being the biological father)

Third, I very much enjoy how many chapters may not have so much conflict or a huge problem to sort out. They're just a slice of life and give the reader a chance to enjoy the characters they love just being themselves. It's rare and so fun to read in between the huge drama sections.

Fourth: I'm American, I live in the city of Chicago in the Midwest. I say this because I find it fascinating all the British (I hope I'm not offending you by calling you that. I'm not sure how Welsh consider themselves) terms and habits. A great example is the unit of measurement "stones". That threw me off and I had to make sure I was reading it right. It was fun to look it up and learn something new. Along with a ton of other references and things I have no idea what they are but it's fun to learn.

So, yeah, in summary I fell in love with the story and the world with in it. I'm going to be an avid follower and will look forward to every chapter here on out. If it's ok I have just a couple questions.

1) What will happen in the far future when people realize that Harry is a hundred and two but still looks in his forties? (I assume that's how old he'll look) Will he have to come out and admit he's a Dracken?

2) How does the rest of the world view Drackens? Especially here in the United States where we are currently having a big gay rights movement and just had a civil rights movement in the 60's. Would Magical creatures maybe be more accepted here as versus Europe? Or in any country in particular like how France treats the Veelas?

I know that is a massive chunk to read and I don't expect you to look at it all so if you skimmed down, the long and short of it is that I adore this story and avidly wait for any future chapters. Thank you for being so awesome!

All the best,
Arty

They talk about Ellien and her being on heat after everyone is there, but you already said that Bill and the others don't know that they aren't human. Why don't they question what everyone is talking about? And is plaster gauze something normal to put on gashes in England? Just that, other than a cast for a broken bone, Ihave never had or heard of getting something like that - even after I had surgery.

Other than that I really love this story and how long each chapter is. Can't wait for the next chapter, but I'll try to contain myself for a few weeks before I resume checking Facebook every few hours for news on the next posting date. :)

Ch. 89

I loved this chapter, as I have all of them. The descriptions of daily life with so many babies (and mates) are just wonderful. A couple of corrections:

I actually wanted to cry when I read that they weren't Draco's your such a heartless person. I mean like really 89 chapters and like 7 kids later and Draco is still childless! I almost wish he would have just listened to his father, because at the end of the day Draco is not married and without an heir. If he was to die today or tomorrow that would be the end of his line and his name. It doesn't matter that he views them as his kids and his family that doesn't change the fact that in the court of law and to the rest of the wished wizarding world. I feel like you just don't get that. If you didn't like Draco or didn't want to make him one of Harry's mates then you shouldn't have. Their relationship would probably be better off as a friendship anyway. All I can say is if Draco was my child there is no way in hell I would be ok with his situation.

So the older mates are doing a bang up job in the baby count! Max has 4, Nasta has 3 and Blaise has little Braiden. Poor Draco still has none biologically at lest but following scaled bits we know that Draco gets be eventually and how cute will he be with his own. I do love how much the boys really do care for the children regardless of who is the biological dad. Draco is especially cute. I am somhappy with everyone right now and they are getting a chance to bask in the newness of the twin girls. Also kudos to the rehabilitation of Lucius. He is really trying to change his attitude around the mates all because Harry opened his eyes to how shabbily he was treating his own son. Thanks for a wonderful chapter and I hope your next month is better than the previous one.

I love this story! When you finish it I will cry if you don't do a scaled bite for the girls sixteenth birthday and first meeting or a 5 shot if they are submissive, which I hope they are. Submissive raised buy harry would be the most sought after and with 2 of them oh thee drama.😝
