I never thought it'd be that painful when Draco's leaving again. Very well written, all of it, and all of them. Clever take on parallel universes (and I usually avoid them because I get lost easily ;)).

I've been just as curious as Draco to see how it could have been, and his conclusions and decisions just felt right to me. I enjoyed that very much, and I'd sure like to read more :)

I always like a nice time travel fic, and year six is my favourite book - so yay for your story to address both aspects!

Draco's encounter with Luna had such a surreal touch - it made so much sense that her character would be the one to introduce the idea of change to Draco.

I liked the H/D encounter in the parallel universe, and I would have loved to know more about the relationships between Sirius and Narcissa and Remus. Wondered about Lucius and his fate as well...

Draco going back for such an unselfish reason, mainly because he knew that the other Harry needed his Draco, and that this Harry needed him - that was the biggest change of all. And I firmly believe that it would have made a difference and the world would have moved into a different direction!

Nice! Good job. I especially liked "...imagine Potter not knowing a secret he'd discovered himself." Time-travel and alternate universe mirror-worlds rock my socks.

You and I both chose to represent the AU team by having our characters actually *travel* to an AU; I wonder if anyone else interpreted the spirit of Team AU in the same way? Only time will tell.

Strong entry! Catch you around the Team AU com.

Oh, that was fantastic! Wonderful flow, great separation between the two Harrys and Dracos, and a heart-warming ending! PERFECT!

He recalled Lovegood's words about a path he could have taken, but couldn't imagine how that could relate to him sitting with Harry Potter in the Slytherin common room. Touching. He was going to be ill.

heh. Loved that line!

well done! Go, team AU!
