This is such a wonderful fic! I love that Harry chose to become a Healer... but I love even more that Draco did. You wrote this plot so exquisitely well! I love this whole story to bits and the sex is utterly fabulous! LOL Yeah yeah, I'm a porn lover at heart. :P Hermione was fabulous in her secondary role and you left me feeling utterly in love with everyone and everything in your story. I love the bits of Snape, though long-past, that we get, I love the everyday details, I love... the whole story!

	This was an intriguing mystery and a wonderful romance. I loved that it all came back to Snape ... what a devious plan old Voldemort was cooking up! And I adore Draco as a researcher -- and the image of his messy flat all covered in books fits perfectly with this life you've given him. I'm so glad Harry finally got over himself! Thanks for a great story! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm so pleased you found this intriguing. I can't help but think that if Voldemort was obsessed enough with power that he created Horcruxes - he'd be crazy enough to come up with potions and plots for his nefarious purposes. Thanks for your comments. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ah, I do enjoy a mystery! That was a fabulous read, mystery author, and it read as easily as a far shorter story - great stuff! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This was fantastic. I always love mysteries and I love that it came back to Snape. Harry and Draco as healers is wonderful. Hermione and Charlie was a nice little side bonus. Great work! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh my. That was one hell of a plot. The story was brilliant. Long enough to leave me satisfied, yet short enough to read all at once.

Kudos to the good job on Fanon Harry and Draco. This is officially a favorite. Honestly, I've been reading too much stories lately where the plot isn't significant enough to keep my attention, and this has COMPLETELY ruined the pattern, so THANK YOU.

I am an avid (understatement!) fan of Harry/Draco; preferably with a top!Harry. So that second sex scence on the potions desk was PURRRRFECT! ^_^
Why this fic doesn't have a million reviews is beyond me because it is so spectacular and well written and the characterizations are just as I love them. I love a snarky Draco (even though I prefer him to bottom).

And oh my! Hermione/Charlie was quite unexpected and yet completely fitting! This story really is breaking all the patterns! And setting new standards. I adored them as the secondary couple.

And Snape.. oh Snape. I miss him so. I still hate that J.K killed him off. I always prefer to ignore that part in the last couple of chapters of Book 7. I cried more when he died than when Dumbledore died. heh. Snape was my 2nd favorite character. Draco being the first, and Lucius being 3rd. What can I say - I love my Slytherins :]

Exquisite piece of art you have right here. I can only wish for us to be graced with more pieces as good as this in the future. Keep up the terrific work!

	I have to tell you. As a writer, I have dreamt of receiving a comment like this one. You have no idea how pleased I am - that not only did you like the fic - but that you took the time to comment and truly make me feel better. I do have some things hosted on The Hex Files, but will admit that I am most proud of this fic. Thanks again for your comment! ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh my. You are most welcome.

It's times like this that you truly realize how much an author loves feedback.

It was my pleasure to leave a comment for such an amazing piece of work. I really did love the plot. Gosh, I can't remember when I read a fic that had such a good plot!

And I will most definitely be checking on your things at The Hex Files :]

And if I were you, I'd be proud of this fic too. It was really really great.

	Harry as an active healer and Draco working in R&D with Hermione make perfect sense. And you created a wonderful mystery around those women and that potion. (Reply to this) (Thread)
