I guess Adam will be important in those battles ahead, because the reason for bringing him with them seems quite ill conceived. To bring a child into a battle is pretty crazy. It will put him in danger, he will be a liability and a distraction, and this spell will weaken Harry, putting him and everyone else in additional danger. There have to be dozens of places where he would be safer. Okay, he can only speak parseltongue, but that's the same as if he's mute, it does not mean he is completely disabled. People would be able to communicate with him in other ways. Even an orphanage would be better than in the middle of a battle. They could hire a muggle nanny. Tell Hermione's parents to take care of him, if they don't want anyone magical to do it. I don't get their reasoning.

Ron would probably leave more of it alone if Draco simply expressed himself more explicitly, alas I doubt he will so Ron will have to deal with it. I didn't realize it was possible to hand items through the floo connection, that was interesting. I think Draco needs to explore why he wants Harry's full attention, it would bring about some necessary conclusions. In all I enjoy how Harry is handling everything, sane Harry is definitely better to work with than one crazy from the Dark Arts. I can't help but feel that this is a calm before the storm, you never give our boys much rest so I don't expect this to last. I understand what you mean about the phrase repeats sometimes there simply no other words that satisfy what one would like to say. Well written chapter, I am curious to see what direction this takes now. Keep up the good work.

Great update!

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, if not, I meant
to last time. But, when this story is almost said
and done, will we see the reappearance of the 'seer'
who predicted this would happen with Harry & Draco?

...and I must admit I thought this story would SOME
light-heartedness to it throughout the story, considering
how it started, but oh well....

because if he didn't have Har's full attention, he felt Har would leave him.
Maybe he just needs the concentrated ego stroking Har's full attention would give him. At any rate, i love Draco's 'shrugs' attitude towards the original vision now.
poor adam, i hope they can do something for him.

Huzzah! Finally! That was fantastic, I love how they argued the whole damn time. You also managed this conversation without either of them confessing their love or going on and on about their intimate feelings, that takes skill. The point even made it across and sealed with a romp. For how they both act and are as far as their character development goes I don't think this could have gone any better. I can see Draco going either way with the terms of the thought reading. One as you said he would love being mysterious and enigmatic. On the other hand Harry knowing his thoughts would probably lower his frustration by several notches. Interesting how at the during the chapter Malfoy becomes Draco but Harry remains Potter. I'm curious what will happen to have Draco change to having Harry on a first name basis. Now we go back to saving those poor children! I can't wait. Keep up the lovely work.

p.s. a lot of repeated phrases or words this chapter such as "on the other hand" it's not a big deal but they happened so close to one another it was noticeable. The phrases were so common though that they seem more purposeful than anything. I just thought I would share an observation. By the way it is fantastic how much depth you can put into these characters. I just caught up on Parsimony and Desire in a Day before this and even though they are the same characters they are worlds apart. Their growth through experience and age is apparent, and it really makes everything you write just that much more of a pleasure to read.

oh my yes. Still, insecure much draco. Theiry're well on their way to that picket fenced house huh.

Curse you and your cliffhangers, that was probably worse than any we have had thus far in this story. I do hope we get even a slight development between those two, with everything else they are worrying about, their dynamic moves seemingly slower than your other stories. Draco always makes me laugh, it's so easy to agree with him that his frustration is pleasing, it's nice to know at least someone is thinking what I am. It really would be interesting if the potion worked both ways wouldn't it? Now that I think about it, you're definitely right about Ron and Hermione having more to lose, lucky for Harry Draco will keep him company I'm sure. Keep up the good work, I hope you had a good holiday.

Draco's a cocky s.o.b., ain't he? But, that's
alright..he may THINK he dominates in the bedroom.
but this IS Harry Potter we're talking about. Just
wait until Harry surprises him....he WILL right? O____O

Wonderful sex scene but they really need to get moving.
