Absolutely SMASHING! All the characters were wonderfully believable with their growth, imho. Even the degree to which Ron was a prat. Thanks for managing to not overdo it while making him the cheater at the same time. That's a tough line to balance. I loved how you portrayed the attraction between Draco and Hermione with a fascinating mix of intellectual, emotional, and physical. And of course I adored the use of Victorian flower language. A very fitting old pastime for a family like the Malfoys to uphold.

Thanks so much for writing!

It might be hard to believed, but it was almost compulsory to read your story. Seeing the possibilities develop between the characters, as well as the highly plausible situation given the right circumstances, made me keep reading. Your story was very much in the world of Harry potter, as well as knowledgeable of Healer (doctor) practices. I loved more than anything that it was a Love story, that had a little sex in it; and not a sex story with a few smatterings of love thrown in as most X-rated stories are. Being a fan of the Draco/Hermione pairing, it was refreshing that you included many of the story's other characters in the story. I've read many fanfics from the most innocent, to the most saucy. Your story was addictive, it drew me into the story much the same way that the Harry Potter books drew me into the Wizarding World. Thank you so very much for sharing a wonderful story.

So happy this had the same lovely ending....though, I swear, it seems longer, somehow. :D Can't wait for more the Complexities2, though I think I'll wait til it's done. I can't sit for long periods of time...back problems. ;(

Wow is right. Very well written. You have managed to write a romantic story with a light touch that has made it very interesting. Kind of like a Cary Grant movie. And you have written an excellent Draco and believable Hermione. I usually don't like this pairing much but there have been a few writers who get it just right. Thank you.
