I love the concept ( ... )

Thank you!

Yes, Draco will have to find another way to relate to Harry. For one thing, he'll have to realize that he hasn't stopped missing Harry's personality and soul. I agree that a relationship based on physical repulsion wouldn't be healthy- but neither is a relationship based purely on sex. Draco will have to learn how to relate to Harry outside the bedchamber, which is something he probably never quite learned to do the first time around.

What really hurt Harry was not the suggestion that he hide his face, but Draco calling him a monster. The way Harry sees it, Draco could have broken up with him without becoming verbally abusive.

Yeay, new story! Excellent start, I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Mostly while reading I was thinking... Draco, you shallow cretin! And I'm so, so proud of Harry! I'd love to see Scorpius' reaction to Harry. I'll bet he wouldn't see a monster.

Wee fix:
if he was heading the right direction [heading in the]

Thank you!

Draco may seem a little less shallow with the next chapter.

I think that sentence is grammatically correct, actually- though maybe not in British English.

LJ ATE MY COMMENT WAH.
I'll just sum up my (dead) long review then -
Not my favorite premise. But you make me like it anyway. Greek myths FTW. Go livelongmarry fic!

Thank you! I hope you continue to like the story, but of course, don't feel obligated to continue if you don't like it.

Wow. You made me almost hate Draco. Even JKR couldn't do that, and she wrote the canon!

He would have done anything I asked if he really wanted to keep me, since I was doing him such a favor by staying with him.

What a complete jerk! And poor Harry!

But, at the same time, I kind of feel sorry for him, that he can't look past the surface to find real beauty. All of the things he claims as beautiful are only beautiful in a superficial way. Kind of makes me wonder how he would react if Scorpius were the one horrifically scarred. (Probably make him wear a glamour and then pretend there was nothing wrong.)

I can't wait to see what happens in this story.

Thank you!

I pity Draco in this fic. I think his revulsion is understandable. What isn't excusable is his reaction in terms of verbally abusing Harry and demanding the impossible (when he realized that Harry wouldn't hide his face, he should just have broken up with him right there, rather than saying that Harry should love him more or calling him a monster).

And yes, that probably would be his reaction with Scorpius.
