Phew! INTENSE! While impatiently awaiting the next chapter, a thought comes to mind... 'I would love to go drinking with PrettyDesdemona and Kain. That would be a RIOT!'

Green_Eyed_Mist, if you, me and Desdemona ever went out drinking together....I can assure you that we would put the whole plot of the movie the hangover to shame with our antics. The world is simply not ready for such destruction. The last time I tried to go beast mode with my liquor.......I woke up in a monastery in Tibet having lost 8 weeks of my life with a ring on my finger, my hair dyed a beautiful shade of blue, 623 missed calls all from someone with the alias of "frisky dingo" asking 'where the drop was supposed to happen' and various illegal things and according to a blood soaked note in my left pocket(the entire right half of my jeans were gone) someone would quote, "fuck my world up" if I ever returned to Spain. To give you a scope on just how blitzed and how out of my comfort zone I was...........I live in California. And just the other day some Russian chick who looked like someone straight out of the movie hostel came by my house asking if I could "cut the shit" and just hand over what I took. as of this moment I still have no idea as too what I took but apparently short term memory loss is not a good excuse with these people and I am currently on the run even as I type this from a Starbucks in Canada that has some pretty smooth Wi FI and the service here is too.....ah shit they found me AND the bitch looks even more pissed than last time I gave them the slip. What is the last time you ask? well I gotta make this quick since they are literally three tables away from me and this chick looks ready to pounce on me. So their I was in the local Tattoo parlor laying low when Tito, man giving the tattoo's catches a bullet right in the dicdnfsdlkfnsdsnmlkfsnmklsfnmlkvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Well as long my baby Draco is happy at the end then I'm happy too haha.
P.s you should make your chapters longer. The cliff hangers destroy me. :-( x

Desdemona,

I'm no good at this reviewing thing. Wonderful chapter. I have a big soft spot for Draco, so I can't take this. LOL
Ron reacted just how any man in his position would, I assume. I'd be pissed at Isobel too, and honestly, I wonder if she still has feelings for Draco and is just pretending to be seeing someone, but I digress... I am glad Hermione didn't just fold to Draco right away, but can't wait to see how it turns out, even if that means the two of them parting forever (though I hope not, sometimes love is that way.) I can't wait to see whence his love blooms if they do end up together, however. I do so know the hurt of loving more in a relationship. I often feel as though you're pulling thoughts and feelings right out of me.

I was reminded of Christina Perri's "distance" while reading about what Hermione saw when Draco thought of her and the general decline of their relationship prior.

"The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you understand"

I feel I can't really express myself well, unless it is through song; be it my own or someone else's. Sorry for a long review.
I was really happy yesterday to see you updated, as it was my birthday. I found that rather fitting as this story is the only thing I get excited for lately.

Patiently and Passionately,
D

Long time listener, first time caller. Lol. sorry. I had to.
I just have to say, you have given something to this world that I dare say is more brilliant than stars. I have not, in all my years of reading fan-fiction, been as addicted to a story as I am this one. Your mastery of language and prose is unprecedented in the sad state of stereotypical fan writings being produced right now, and the story itself is certainly nothing close to stereotypical. I have been reading this since the day you posted Chapter Six. That was when I stumbled onto this piece of art. I wept. I felt such a deep sorrow because you wrote Hermione's pain so realistically and in a manner that made sense for the aftermath of the war, that I felt a reflection of my own deep-seated turmoil. I understood what she felt because I had felt something just as deep and harrowing. Not many writers are capable of that. I read your words as if they were what brought me air to breathe. I bookmarked this story.This in itself is a miracle, as I am the girl that begins to read a story and, if it is incomplete, will most likely forget it after I navigate away. I didn't want to lose this. So I checked every day for new chapters and devoured them as you posted them. And after every chapter, I hovered over the review button. But I'm just not that girl. Sometimes, I will leave a review after I finish a piece in its entirety, but never during. You have invoked my desire to tell you that You amaze me. This story, this legend, is so remarkably enchanting and parallel to how I feel the immediate reaction to the Second Wizarding War would be. You have somehow taken all of the despair and anger and futility and guilt of being a survivor and made it seem as truly insurmountable and survivable as it really is, and placed that into somebody else's fictional characters while still keeping the basic nature of those characters intact. That has to be magic.
Now the story, the twists, how broken Harry is. I can't get enough. I anticipate these final chapters with baited breath.
I'll work on that radio silence for the future.
And thank you. I haven't loved a story like this in a long time. I missed it.

I LOVE, ADORE, THIS STORY!!! I just want to know if draco and germione will ever get back together like ever because its so sad that Draco's first reaction was to go back to Voldemort and i think he is very scared that if he does't go back then voldemort/hary will take her away and i feel like hermione needs a vacation or something because she is stressing her sel out with everything. i think they should both stop take a second to breathe and think about what they want for themselve before making any hasty decisions, i really love your story it so different and original its definately going to my top.

draco has been my favourite character in harry potter and when something bad is happening to him I am not happy, haha. I just want him and hermione to make up. i love this story a lot though.

Phew! Seriously, your writing is so good that I can actually feel my body tensing up as I read! I'm so stoked that you said only 2 more days. I'm starting to love you even more. Seriously, completely addictive. I work full time and I'm a university student and I'm having a hard time focusing on my schoolwork because my mind keeps wandering back to your story! Keep it up, you! I hope you are incredibly proud of the work you've done, it is excellent!

Sidenote: I believe Ani Difranco owes you some thanks. Because of your story, I'm actually starting to listen to her music. :)

Oh lookie here, Ronald putting his big boy pants on and prancing about. Lol, I need to stop. My hate for Ron has just gone too far. I never try to see things from his weird ginger point of view. Anyhow, glad he is handling this so well. He really does care for Harry, love a good bromance. Oh Harry, why so obsessed with hermione? I hope for naughty reasons.
Ginny is such a hopeful love, poor Zabini baby. He'll be okay. Can't wait to see this thing climax. And oh my goodness Draco, my wee lamb, pick a side! Gawd that is just so slytherin. No alliance means they can exploit the side that wins. Man...I keep correlating Harry potter characters to surgeons (damn you grey's anatomy). Hermione would so be a brain surgeon or a cardiac surgeon, Draco would be a orthopaedic surgeon, Harry would be in trauma, Ron would be in general, Zabini would be in plastics hehehe. I have problems...
