I love the title of this story, just to say that first.

I love the way the character seem more realistic than you usually find in fanfiction and am enjoying the storyline very much. Cant wait to see what happens to Lucius. I hope he gets cured personlly but I shall stick with you and see what happens. Whatever way it turns out Im sure Harry will find happiness with Draco, so I'll be happy with that :D

Ok I'm lost. What was he like before everything? How is Harry affected by that? Apparently badly...like does it turn out that it's something that prevents Harry & Draco from beimg together? Sounds like it. No no no that can't happen!!!
I want them getting MUCH closer in the next chapter please not farther apart. I'm anxious to see Ron come to see Harry..at Draco's house..& Hermione there with Harry & Draco! Should be quite a chapter.

I love this story. I think you deserve it when I say this is one of the best H/D fics I've read on this story so far (and God knows you have to comb through them to find a gem here :D) I love your attention to detail and characterization, and how you choose to take the story to progress slowly as it should because these boys do have to work through some stuff before they can have a romantic relationship, I think. The attraction and fascination with each other is always there, of course and there's always so much potential there but it's supposed to take them awhile. One of the things I really love about them is how these two boys fit together (or have the potential to), how Harry needs someone like Draco in his life to encourage him to be selfish for once in his life instead of the way Ginny (along with Mrs Weasley and Ron) would want him to give and give and give just because Harry has to be the bigger person in every goddamn thing, and reprimand him and guilt him when he acts less than perfect. This is one of the things I always found problematic in Harry and Ron's relationship, he has too many expectations from Harry and isn't able to understand that Harry has his own demons like Hermione can (I love your portrayal of Harry and Hermione's relationship, it's the way it is in canon. Too many times in H/D fic Ron is portrayed as the only true best friend Harry has and Hermione's portrayed as just Ron's wife/girlfriend and nothing more, which pisses me off)

I like Narcissa with all her sneakiness and delicacy, haha. I can't say the same for Lucius, he does need to suffer for all the things he has done, he's just lucky he's not in Azkaban because he would deserve it, I'm sure there are people who went into Azkaban for less than what Lucius did, Lucius just got free because of his priviledges and Harry.

Draco is just perfect with all his uncertainty and there's the hesitant beginnings of longing here from both boys' side, I love that. Their chemistry is palpable, I love how they tense up when they look into each other's eyes or one of them smiles at the other.

I always wait patiently for updates on this story, thank you for writing and update soon :)

Oh, I don't know if I like the sound of that. If even Narcissa questions curing him, then it must be bad! My initial thought is maim/torture/eventually kill with glee (kinda like Bella only male and not as insane), but I'm wondering what else there could be. Makes me wonder if Voldie leashed in his more violent tendancies, or made him pull his sanity in more? (Luc that is, not Voldie's sanity...we all know near the end the first time he had very little, and by the second time around there was none.) Herm needs a better boy-toy, Ron's just an ass and needs to be dropped like a bad habit. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more!

Oh hells, what a mess. Still, at least bill and draco are willing to bury the hatchet. Okay, it's pretty much a given Ron and to a lesser degree the rest of the weasleys are suffering that lash back thing... now if only there's a way to help them.
neh, if they reverse the botched thingie on Luc and he reverts... does that mean he'd get his magic n such back considering he'd still be counted as a head case?

yay for more story! poor confuzzled harry, he really does need to stop overthinking so much, good thing the other three are there to help him sort things out. and i love how draco still gets the whole embarassed flush when he knows he's said or done something to disappoint his mother lol. keep up the great work, i look forward to more :)

I don't think it will take long for har to go from doing his hero thing to genuine feelings. Har just doesn't like being pushed or forced into stuff and that's how he's feeling atm. I hope he takes Cissa's advice and meditates on it rather than going with his knee jerk reaction.

I am soooooooooooo glad they got Luc out of there. That 'healer' is a menace. Wow, Bill and Fleur turned up pretty quick too. I hope they can help. Luc may have been a complete bastard but even he doesn't deserve the 'care' he was being given.

yay for Mio, she is epic with her support.
