I'm so sorry that I only now found the time to read your story. Drat, I missed voting for this. A real shame. But I can still comment. Though there isn't that much to say except loveloveloved it! Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favourite Disneys and to have the plot combined with H/D is *love*.

Very clever idea, too, the reversed werewolf. Poor Harry, struggling so hard. I thought his struggles were very convincing and real, for lack of better words. And I loved his dog-like characteristica (shaking water out of his hair, running after a ball ...).

Draco was absolutely, heartbreakingly beautiful. His decision to sacrifice himself for Harry because Harry had become his whole life ... *sniffs* *renderedspeechless*

Truly Outstanding. I want to hug the story and snuggle into bed with a nice cup of cocoa and read it again. I'll definitely add this to my memories.

	Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked Harry's dogginess; I had a lot of fun coming up with activities he might enjoy if he were trying to live with a dog brain. And I'm glad Draco's reasons for sacrificing himself worked for you. So happy you enjoyed this! (Reply to this) (Parent)
