:D Yes, it's angsty but I tried to put in the hope in hell :) And we all know Harry- once he gets his mind into it, nothing will stop him. :) Thank you for reading and commenting!

GO TEAM EWE!

Really nice take on Draco and his mother--I liked Narcissa a lot. And of course, Harry and Draco's romance was a nail-biter! Nice work.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my take on Draco and Narcissa's relationship as well as the H/D romance. :D

Umm... o_0 *lifts up the screen and checks for more* you're not actually going to leave me hanging there... are you? *watery, wibbly eyes*

The flow, the chemistry, between not only Harry and Draco (who stayed very much true to form) but between Draco and his mother as well, it was all captivating. I started reading and couldn't stop. It was brilliant, sucks you in and holds you. And aren't those the best kind. And I do so love the twist of finding one more interesting way to thrust angst upon them. The curse was excellent. Bravo.

*laughs* Sequel in the works, hon. I promise.

Those are pretty high compliments. *blushes* I'm delighted you enjoyed the story that much.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Wow. Just... Wow. So much crammed into here! I love how desperate it all gets. How things move along, and grow. The attempts on lives, the self-sacrificing.... the futility of it all makes me ache! - lovely story!

The war isn't over yet. Mwa ha ha ha harrr.

Very clever to use occlumency like that. It makes the power balance between Draco and Harry less ridiculously in Harry's favour - let's face it, an all-powerful post-war Harry can only be so interesting, and then only if you write Draco in an amusing way (which, incidentally, you did very well).
The "Oh no, but Occlumency is my one weakness" bit is where I really started getting into the story.

"Contrary to popular belief, I do want you as more than just bed partner. And technically, you'd be better off with someone else, too," he pointed out. "Except for the fact that if you do decide to do that, you'd best prepared for random glassware exploding around you at certain times. I never did learn how to share."

I loved Hermione's Yoga lesson followed by My Fair Lady moment, as well. Very funny. Also, when Rashid set fire to his own shop - I cracked up I really did.

Thank you! I quite liked the concept of Occlumency so I wanted to include it. I think its the most intimate thing for two people to do- share each other's memories. Hee! I'm glad you enjoyed my Draco. He was certainly a blast to write!
