Dreaded Het

I was really worried. Unomesowell set me here, but this was really good--I already commented several times today, but I wanted to say a final word--

If only you knew the joys of Harry/Draco . . . sigh.

I read this story because of your recent post on LJ about your fics. This one is brilliant! I didn't read it when first posted but absolutely loved it!

I enjoyed reading from Ron's POV...I can see where you really did get into his head, his feelings for Harry and Hermione...great job!

Oh, thank you!!!

Yes, this was something of a departure for me - all that plot to keep straight - the Harry-used-to-be-a-Horcrux thing kept collapsing if I looked at it too closely!

And, yes, my boy isn't a teaspoon anymore - he would do anything for either of them!

I don't usually comment on fics I read, but I really enjoyed this one. At points I almost felt like I was spoiling book 7 for myself, it felt so canon x)

And let me tell you, using "scar" at the end caught me completely off guard. I stared at it and suddenly realized I was grinning like and idiot. And it's such a great take on the last sentence.

Also I suddenly realized that I don't care who dies in "Hallows" as long as all of the trio survive ;_;

This is the only fic I have ever planned and plotted and it is my baby and thank you, thank you, thank you.

I thought 'scar' was a bit too soppy, but I couldn't resist - and your reaction is perfect!

I really loved this - i've spent most of the day reading it.

I love your theory on the Harry Horcrux idea (it all holds together so lets see what JK has in mind in a few months) it's totally believable.

Good job. And well done for the award, Ron is awesome in your story

[shocolate]

aww - thank you so much!

The Horcrux thing drove me insane, but I think iot almost hangs together!!!

Absolutely Perfect!

I'm addicted to HP fan art, so I saw a drawing posted on The Leaky Cauldron of Ron punching Draco. The description referred to your story, so I sought it out and for the first time I truly fell in love with Ron. Although I think Ron is integral to JK's novels, you really made him stand out as a man and someone that supports Harry and Hermione. I believe that writing this from Ron's point of view made all the difference in the world.

Thank-you for a fantastic story!
