Oh gosh, I feel sorry for Draco. But I can't blame the Slytherins for not forgiving him. Heck, I wouldn't. :{ Can't wait for more! I'm still so curious about "Lucius" and the Death Eaters.

okay, i'm ambivalent. while i'm glad the slyths are back to normal... well as normal as they ever get, the fact that they now have a valid reason to hate draco and do is a little saddening. perfectly understandable, but saddening. at least he's got har at his back. And they still have the mess with draco's da or da look a like to deal with, not to mention the fall out of that spell.
still, that's large prob number two out of the way. snapes back to life, the slyths have their memories back (though, i'm thinking for his safety draco might want to move out of the dungeons neh?) now mio just needs to find her parents and the luc a like needs dealing with (and whoever was responsible for the wolf weres dead cubs) and things are mostly sorted.
i'm sorta proud of har. its HARD to step back end let ppl do what they need to do.

Another great chapter. While I'm sad that Draco hasn't been forgiven for what he did to the other Slytherins, I'm glad that he corrected the mess he made. It means he's actually taken responsibility for it, and was willing to risk the consequences. I didn't think the others were going to forgive him though. It was just a bad thing for him to have done in the first place. He would have been better off letting them keep their memories. Then he would have risked a whole LOT less. Maybe Goyle will come back? But I think he gained something better with Harry. He now has Harry's respect as well as Harry's desire.
As for Klein... Well, she seems to have discovered a chill pill, so I can let her be for now. And besides, the people who *were* responsible for Harry did a whole lot of fucked up things where he's been concerned. She should have taken that into account before now.
Have I mentioned that I love the fact that you brought Snape back? If not, then I do. ^^
And I agree that Hermione's parents and her search for them should be it's own story, but that would *really* throw off the Drarry, and that's why we're all here, right? I'm glad that you've thought to address it.
Waiting (im)patiently for the next chapter.

about #26...

Wow! What an amazing & intense scene that was. O_o
Now, there's the question of...now what? What is Draco
going to do now?

Another thing, [off the subject] now that you've mentioned it in the last
story "TEL', I DO remember that author's name. :-] I was just thinking about
people whose stories I've read & wondered where they were. Also, some people you just
don't forget because their name are so unique.

By the way, email coming...

about #25..

1. Am I the only one waiting for that touch to the face or hand from Harry?

2. I hope whatever Draco is making doesn't make matters worse...

Is this forum acting up? Because there are a lot of words being puttogether likethis.

I will say, the good thing about going on a short hiatus is having so much to read when you come back! Good last three chapters, so much happened I don't know where to start. Definitely loving the tension between them, the fact that Draco wants to be special to Harry, noticed his eye color and didn't mind the little confession are such great signs my heart is overjoyed. I can't wait for them to kiss or something. I do wonder what adjective Harry was looking for, there are so many ways to describe Draco's hair: alluring, sexy, beautiful, amazing, ridiculously shiny, the list goes on. Speaking of Draco, what idiot potion rune combo is that git doing now? Not telling Harry worries me, that mixed with the mad smile, there are way too many ways this could go wrong. I hope Draco doesn't end up screwing up his memories of Harry, or their memories about each other, all that progress would have been for not! My heart would break if that happened. I also don't think Blaise really trusts Harry...it all seems a bit too convinent, but it could also be that Blaise is an idiot under a bad memory spell lol. I will just have to wait until the next chapter to figure that out. On a side note, I am so happy for Snape! That poor man can finally leave the bloody shack, I must say he seems to be acting a bit too harshly on Draco though. In all I will be sad once he leaves to start his new life, it's so nice to have him alive. It would be wondeful if he could find a new love in any case, Merlin knows the man deserves it. As always keep up the fabulous work and I look forward to the next chapter.

My problem with Klein in the beginning is that she's so obsessed with upholding the exact letter of the law, instead of the spirit, that she's seeing Harry as a criminal when he's defending himself while she's being a rather sad auror. I'm not impressed with her abilities, to be honest. She's made me angry on more than one occasion, and it's nice to see Draco and Harry tag-team to make her see that she's a piss-poor excuse for a bodyguard for Harry. Perhaps if she spent more time doing her job instead of pontificating about how she wants to "uphold the law", Harry wouldn't have had to kill. Bah, I hate people like that. Reminds me of that story in the bible about Jesus and the priests in the temple. However, she does get better, and seems to be a half-way decent DADA teacher, for a change. Thank goodness!
And I have to admit that it's nice to see *someone* taking the time to point out the fact of what Hermione did to her parents. Why do so many others ignore the issue of her erasing her parents' memories and banishing them to Australia? I mean, they're her parents, and they seemed like right good ones from the way she always talked about them in the books.
I'm not sure how I feel about Draco being so wishy-washy with the way he acts to Harry. Because it's right annoying and makes me want to bitch-smack him a few times. I do *not* really like feeling that way about my beloved Draco. =P
And I'm rather torn about how I feel with Snape still alive. I love him and hate him, normally, and he's so much like himself that I'm conflicted. *sigh* And he's pretty much an animated corpse when he returns, almost like a corporal ghost. It's disconcerting. >>;;;;
I love the thought of a Healer!Harry. In fact, one of my favorite stories is Bloody But Unbowed; however, that is neither here nor there. ~^
And if Pansy isn't there when the boys finally *do* find a way to fix Draco's fuck up, how is she going to be fixeded? It's hardly fair that Draco was a moron and she's a natural idiot. As is proven by her running to the DE the moment she left Hogwarts. Oh well, some people are just too stupid to live. I really hope, for Draco's sake, that Snape is correct and that it's not Lucius. Otherwise, it's going to be more difficult for Harry to convince Draco to be more than friends.
I have to admit that I love the slow build up of their relationship. It makes it entirely more realistic. Btw, Harry's obsession with Draco's hair is ADORABLE!
I really hope that the ritual works, but isn't that kind of a double-edged sword, considering what Draco really did do the other Slytherins? I'm just glad that he's not doing something truly harmful to the area around Hagrid's hut. And Blaise was right to pick Parvati... She and Lavender really are the weak links in that year of Gryffindors. It's kinda sad, actually. I feel sorry for Seamus if he really *does* like her. And who is Ginny involved with? Dean again? Can't wait for the next chapter!

This was such a good chapter! They are making progress. But it feels like this story is going to end soon :(
