Nope, I'm talking about an unknown upstart who dares to come out
of nowhere & slightly seduce Harry into temptation, because the established
relationship between Harry & Draco, while loving, has become stale and this
stranger brings excitement. Thus, a rival is born...

..or better, there is no established relationship, but Draco IS trying to win
Harry's affections, but this other person is doing better him with gifts and words.
The catch...Harry secretly likes Draco too. :-)

If this doesn't have you thinking...nothing will.

about #37...

Okay, gotta say that was a nice conversations between me. Sometimes I have to remember
to picture them as older MEN and not teenagers.

about #36...

I think the chapter in #35 was the best conversation I've ever seen between
Harry & Hermione.

Okay, Al is starting to rub me the wrong way.

You know, I'm surprised you haven't done this yet, but haven't you ever thought about
doing a story where Draco has a rival for Harry's affections?

Now we can check off 'talk to friends', on to Ginny. She's not going to take this well... I can feel it.

Yes Draco is great for Harry...gives him some backbone after Ginny & Dumbledore what to think and what he should do. I still think Ginny did something that kept Harry for herself way back when and knew that she was cutting Draco out. Or is that another story? I read & follow so many. I try to keep them straight.

Another lovely chapter.

I really enjoy how you portray the friendship between Hermione, Harry and Ron. Sadly very few writers can get it just right and you have excelled at it. It was a nice talk they shared and it is only natural that she would be curious as to whether or not Harry and Draco were going to be long term or not. Glad to see Harry is really seeing his own self worth and making all the right decisions and while people might say he is being selfish, he has more than earned the right to think of himself for a change. His whole life he has had the weight of the world on his shoulders and has had to meet near impossible expectations so to see him do something for his own peace of mind is nice.

Hopefully when things settle down Harry and Ginny can still remain friends and not just for the kids benefit but for there own sakes as well. I mentioned it previously but I like how there is no real villain in this divorce, people grow apart and while it sucks and hurts like a motherfucker for a time, reconciliation is always possible. Other writers would pull a character assassination on Ginny and make her into some unholy hell bitch to suit there plot but you have kept to canon while creating a believable breakup and keeping people in character. No character in this story is perfect, they all have flaws but that makes them human, not bad. Hell even Harry isn't perfect and Draco is certainly not a saint despite how good he has been for Harry. He is still a dick most of the time with some jealousy/controlling issues but he treats harry like an equal. Ginny has her issues here and at times needs to mind what she says and she says it around and you have made some very believable reasons as to her and Harry's breakup but she is not a bad person. I bring this up since,and not too beat the hornets nest, some individuals-looks up and shakes head in dismay- seem to like to dig for anything negative on a character that is an affront to their OTP.

-waits patiently for the next chapter-

about #34...

Okay...okaaay. The sex was good, chapter was unexpectedly short. Seriously.
After the interlude, and Harry getting a 'one up' over Robards, I kinda expected
something to go down. Some type of external confrontation, but that would have lead
to a cliffhanger and we KNOW how you DON'T do those.

Don't you think Harry confronting R & H in person is better?

I loved the way you handled things in the 34th chapter.
