This is an absolutely amazing journey!
When I began this journey at chapter 1, I enjoyed your story-telling fluency greatly, although I was a bit disappointed when you pronounced Hermione a Mage. Somehow, I felt that \"Oh no! Not Mary Sue!Hermione!\". However, I\'m glad to see that your story did not descend into pure fluff, even if essentially Hermione is the kick-ass heroine, but the chapters 19 onwards where Hermione had to deal with the devastating loss of her family and sanity were well-written angst. The descent from smoking to sex and drugs, and the final overdose from drug-taking were an effective, although brutal way of showing the depths of her despair.
I felt that you used Hermione\'s Mage powers to \"share\" her emotions with the world a very interesting writing device. It reminded me greatly of the Thai horror flick, \"Nang Nak\", wherein the ghost\'s displeasure sent a raging storm to plague the villagers in her village. However, does this emotional expression work only for anger, pain and depression? Might it not also work for extreme pleasure?
The Mage powers were also an interesting addition to your love-making scenes; I enjoyed the white butterflies created by Draco and the rose petals, which I think/hope were crd byd by both their powers combined.
It worries me greatly that you mentioned in your final author\'s notes that Draco won\'t die, but gave no confirmation of Hermione; and that the story might end in tragedy. However, it is your story, and even if I get the sense that I might not enjoy the ending, I feel that I\'m in too deep into your story to pull away here. I\'m very curious how you\'d tie all the loose ends; and even how Snape will fare. (You are not the only one to be besotted by those wonderfully compelling Slytherin men. *grins*)
As you continue to plot your story further, could I request an email update for this story? Like I said, I\'m quite hooked and have recommended this story to the Contras Veritas website; and would love to inform other D/Hr shippers if there are updates to this story.

I am really enjoying this story! It\'s such a nice change to read one where the author has actually taken the time to edit. I also loved the talking clocks. The \"barrowing\" of the Little Shop of Horrors and Princess Bride alave ave me quite a chuckle.
Keep it up.... I definately look forward to the rest of the story. At the risk of sounding like a giggly groupie, you\'re a very good writer and I am definately into your vision of the HP world!

\"When his tongue slipped inside of her, she fell over the edge and died a little.\"
did you ever read the rocking horse winner by dh lawrence? did you ever read any victorian age literature, whether it was by lawrence or thomas hardy or tha that of joseph conrad? that one line reminded me of something i will never forget-
because of the uber-prudishness of the victorians, when they wrote of \"death\" in their literature, they were talking about orgasms. hence the rocking horse winner- it was a story of lost innocence... but anyway, that was what your line reminded me of and i was just curious if you too were ultiimately influenced by an english class gone wrong. :)

O! I liked the fire part. Very original. And it seems like Harry is in on their little...or, rather, big escapade to defeat voldemort.
Anddddd......................you never mentioned what the prophecy had to do with Hermione and Draco! *pouts* thats not fair!
