Oh, poor, poor Draco, wanting that for so long. I thought you did a wonderful job of revealing so much about him through Harry's eyes. (Even if it meant I wanted to thwap Harry.) Living his life by thinking of what Lucius would do and doing the oppposite, and not letting Harry get up after that first time, and shattering all the potions bottles -- all wonderful illustrations of his thoughts and feelings. And I loved how devious he was pulling Harry into compromising positions. ;) Nice parallel story of Asp (cute!) and Scorp too. Very well done!

	Harry does miss the signs doesn't he? This is one of the best fics I've read here. I absolutely love your sense of humour and how you make them sound really older (Harry not playing Quidditch anymore, the changes in Hogwarts...) Also, I really enjoyed the Albus/Scorpius subplot. All in all, this is a wonderful fic! (Reply to this)

	I really enjoyed this! The AS/S plot, too, and in particular the way it tied back to the main one; what a mess, awesome. And wow, the potential for massive guilt if Al ever found out. Great story :D. (Reply to this)

	I loved this story. It's going into my binder of stories to be reread when I want one of my favourites. The circular plotting with Harry/Draco and Albus/Scorpius was just the perfect touch to an already good story. Thank you. (Reply to this)

What a wonderful story. Harry locking himself away seemed just like something he'd do, and finding a new beginning with Draco was very hot and lovely. I also liked Snape's cameo and AS/S. I would have thought that Harry's kids would be more embarassed to have their dad at school, but it worked, especially with AS's sullen moods over Scorpius. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this!
