Today was an embarrassment of riches. Every entry was excellent -- in fact, I think I've read some of the best stories of the whole fest today. But this one, quite simply, knocked my socks off. There are so many things I like about it, from this comprehensive imagining of what the future wizarding world will look like, complete with Face Floos and magical takeaways, to the great characterisations of the hellion sprogs (Lily taunting Albus with the rasher reminds me of the things I'd do to my brother).

But mostly, I adore the slow unfolding of Harry and Draco. It all came about rather abruptly, like continental plates crashing. What an extraordinary way to put it!

I can't wait to discover who you are. Whoever you are, you have a wonderful way with words and I truly loved this story.

	I have to say this right now. I absolutely adored Draco's raspberry flummery logic. Its...its so random yet it made so much sense! You're brilliant, you truly are. The entire thing was so detailed and absorbing, I totally forgot myself for an hour or so..XD Plus all the bits of subtle humour! Genius. Sheer genius. (Reply to this)

This was great. I loved the description of life in the Potter household, it was vividly painted and Ginny in particular was very real. Draco's tattoo really caught my imagination (want one now!)and I love the thought of Harry auditing the various Ministry departments and shamelessly using his name, just because he can. This has to be one of my favourite Dracos; not afraid of having to work hard, still snarky and still totally Draco. Barefoot!Draco...I may have developed a new fetish. Anyway, this is a gem of a story and one of my favourites so far. Sometimes OK is all you get...this time readers got lots more than OK!

	The Department of Accounts and Boring Paperwork alone would make me love this! Absolutely fantastic fic ^___^ (Reply to this)

	YES. that was the most awesome thing EVER. And good god do I hate Ginny. Ugh. Ungrateful bint. The kids.. the kids were hilarious. I seriously wanted to strange them all [except maybe Scorpius, he seemed rather serene.. and James, too, besides the spouting off] and Ginny for most of it. I will die if my kids end up like that [and watch them do it too!] (Reply to this)

I adore, adore, adore that Harry's kids are overindulged, irritating, brats. I love that Scorpius is less so. I love the name and physical setting of APB and Harry spending more and more time there, finding it more and more stimulating. Yeah, that way, too. I love the pace of Harry and Draco's love affair, and I love the way Draco can be kind and remain in-character.

In short, I love the story!
Thank you.

	I know people who've worked in the ABP - I've certainly had to deal with getting information out of that department. Very nicely done. (Reply to this)

	This, I loved :). So much happened in the story! I was completely absorbed into it, and couldn't stop reading. And ow, ow, Harry absolutely crushed like that. Fabulous story. (Reply to this)
