This is truly incredible, and one of your best pieces ever. The message comes through quite strongly and eloquently, without being overdone. Perhaps we can put this in the California voter information booklet for Prop 8?

*hugs* Thank you! I'm glad it works out and that it is a strong fic. I put so much work into it that it would kill me if people hated it. XD

And that would be amusing. XD

At first I was like 'Evil OCC Draco? Not my style.' But this Albus was so interesting I had to keep reading. I'm glad I did. Awesome story, I really loved it.

Oh no! I hope the OOC "Draco" doesn't scare people away. >.<

I'm glad you stuck around though and enjoyed it! :)

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Oh this is enjoyable. I wonder what Dumbledore would have thought ?
What a consveration he and Al could have about this. I always wondered if perhaps Al being young and having fallen in love with Scorips doesn't know what to do. And he ends up talking to Dumbledore and his reactions to Al being in love. Snape wouldn't be so nice. I am sure he was quite snappy at Al when he first started to see him, but boredeom could have mellowed Snape out by then.
Snape being Snape probably knew Al was gay before he himself knew. And Snape does understand love. I hope he will find peace one day, perhaps having a good relationship with Al will balance the one he had with Harry.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Harry and Snape meet up again after everything that has happened or when Snape learned that Al was named after him and Dumbledore.

I would hope that Dumbledore would be more than happy. :) If he were alive, I can imagine him calling Al up to the Headmaster's office, serving him tea and lemon drops, and telling him exactly what to do to get the laws passed ASAP. XD

I definitely think Snape would have been a bit standoffish about Al and Scorp at first, but death and his love for Lily mellowed him, I think. Plus, he always did look up to Dumbledore, and I think he would have known that Dumbledore was gay and kind of come to terms with it.

I think that Harry and Snape's first meeting post-war would have been explosive. XD Especially now that Harry knows about Snape's love for Lily. And when Harry came to ask Snape to mentor Al... that would have been interesting too, especially with the name thing. I'd hope they have an okay relationship now, if not a good one.

Thank you so much for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I really liked hearing your thoughts! :)

Your welcome, I think even in portrait form Dumbledore know's what is going on. And even as a portrait he knows exactly what is going on the world, and probably still has his hand in. Otherwise he be quite bored. Dumbledore as portrait form probably has kept a eye on Al and Scoripus. If he did hear anything in the school I am sure he left his painting and would seek out Al or Scoripus. With it looking just like an accident as not stress either one. :) Somehow I see for years to come Dumbledore giving out such advice to students.

lol, he would so be trying to manipulate things from his portrait. I just hope Minerva would keep him from getting into TOO much trouble. XD

So awesome. The kidnapping was terrible but Albus rose above and it was amazing to see such a strong character with such a strong supporting family (and boyfriend). I loved Snape, Charlie and Neville. The bonding ceremony through Lily's perspective was genius. I wish we got results that quickly with equality.
Fabulous story and perfect for livelongnmarry.

betelin_notecor October 24 2008, 22:16:02 UTC

Sigh... I wish things happened that fast too. I tried not to make it TOO unrealistic, but getting even the minor laws I had them pass go through in under a year is kind of insane. XD Oh, well. At least I didn't say marriage was suddenly legal!

I'm glad you liked it and that it seemed to fit with livelongnmarry. :) Thank you for reading and commenting!!
