Beautiful art, and I liked this immediate post-war picture of Draco's life...and Harry riding in on his white horse, of couse. Wonderful entry, and great use of the prompt.

My sweet Harry, he's usually not this cool in my drawings, more like a Draco's boy toy. It was only fair to portray him just this once as he ought to be ;) Thank you, darling. So glad you approve of my take on this prompt!

Holy cow! That positively gave me goosebumps! Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! I also thought that X Japan was rather appropriate for the scene you were portraying. :) Kudos!

hinochan April 11 2009, 04:02:37 UTC

Oh, yes. I also wanted to say that I loved the scene where Harry bursts in, looking like some sort of avenging angel. :D

Am so glad you liked it! My Harry is usually not so handsome so he needed a wee makeover :P

Oh my, I didn't expect this song to be recognised! *flails*
X-Japan FTW! *waves flag*

The first thing that grabbed me was how perfectly the music you chose expressed Draco's feelings.

I loved how you told the story, how the world shut Draco out and left him in a dark and lonely place (both real and emotional) and how Harry opened the doors and brought light and love.

It was a pleasure to see (a few times). Hope you don't mind that I'll keep the file to enjoy it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the music! The original lyric verse is a bitter-sweet song, indeed!

I'm blown away that you perceived my intentions in its entirety. Thank you for your brilliant comment and of course, the file is for you to keep ;)
