Wow. I went from laughter in the first part of this over the recurring "no present" theme, to being on the verge of tears by the end of it because of the beautifully hot and sweet love scene. Great chapter.

You built the tension very well; I could feel my blood pressure rising with every paragraph I read!

Interesting developments: Narcissa worried about The Prophet, Lucius setting out to ruin Vernon and Petunia' s lives. Thank goodness they've discovered that Dudley has had a change of heart, so he shouldn't be included in the plans. Good chapter.

Very interesting! I like the new twist of the Magical Debt.

"He couldn't rely on the Ministry for justice; even now, none of the Aurors had taken any action to find the curse-casters."

Really? I would have thought Aurors Banks and Proudfoot, at least, would respond to the attack, since they're supposed to be guarding Harry. Or was that Crockford's duty now that Harry is Cuffed to Draco? In which case he was still being derelict in his duty.

Ah, good for Kingsley, getting rid of Crockford. And good for Harry, for not falling for Lucius's trick!

Somehow I don't think Draculw will agree with that. And wouldn't the Debt itself not allow that?

Uh, that should have been "Draco" in my review of Chapter 15, not Draculw or whatever it came out as (I blame the Kindle auto-correct program, which is truly awful). Can't believe I didn't catch that.

I haven't mentioned yet how grateful I am that you're presenting the Weasley family as mature, responsible people. So many writers villainize one or more of them (usually Molly, Ginny, and Ron) that it's refreshing to find a more reasonable portrayal. Add to that your excellent writing and it's no wonder I'm enjoying this story!

A terrific epic of a story with a very original plot point ...the Debt.

That was clever "explaining" for the elder wand and its' loss of power. I think it was smart of Harry to not bring in the stone or anything else.
