Interesting! Mafalda Morton isn't someone you'd like to cross, is she?

Loved the moments between the boys. Cute match at Hogwarts.

*shakes head quickly*

Thanks!

Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow!

Ho. Lee. Cow! I can't articulate how this episode gripped my, er, throat. It feels like the story suddenly got SO much more sinister. I have serious concern for my ability to make it to next week with a shred of sanity remaining!

Thank you so much. I love this comment. ♥ It made me smile so much.

oooh - I was thinking how at least John and his wife had strengthened their relationship, when than that nasty bit of memory alteration happened.

Lovely art as always.

I know that was so evil!

I was torn on how to do that, but she had to fix his memory so that she wouldn't get caught. His mind needed a reason for his own odd behaviour and it sort of came together.

Thanks for reading!

Good episode. I liked the fact that it was from Dawlish's POV, though it took me a bit to get used to it. Makes him seem more like a person, and a bit less of an ass:)

Goal accomplished; thanks!

I'm glad you liked it.

The return to Hogwarts was very interesting! I liked the way they both reacted to Trelawney and her visions. I was full of yay when they decided to have a game, and the art was especially lovely. I love Draco smugly clutching the Snitch, his elegant feet :DD and the little stick Harry down on the ground.

The story weaves in and out of creepiness. Mafalda and the memory alteration really ramped up the tension! It's interesting what you've done with Dawlish here, and the changing POV.

Mystery Artist Number Two, this week I think you actually killed me. I am writing this from the special hell reserved for people killed by slashy smut. But I died SO happy ♥ You draw musculature so beautifully, and the boots! Errrrrr absolute boot kink here, and that was more or less the ultimate realisation of it . Thanks for giving us that scene, Mystery Author. The way they are clinging to one another, Draco's throat and jawline, and another glimpse of his divine arse, has made me very very happy. <333

Thanks everybody! Near the end now, woohoo!

When were were coming up with ideas for the over all plot one had them return to Hogwarts, though that one didn't win quite a few people said they liked the idea of going back to Hogwarts. So I found a way from them to be there just for a little while. :)

I was in a dark writing mood when I started writing this. I'm glad you liked it; I was a bit worried about that.

I had the chair sex, but after seeing Rai's art I changed the text a bit to add the boots. The artists were really great at working with partially finished scenes and getting us art quickly.
