I just wanted to say that this was a truly fun story and I feel certain I'm not the only reader who would love to read the flip side of the story, with the poor, unexpectedly displaced Draco's point of view. The moment when our Draco laughs thinking of his counterpart attempting to seduce Harry Potter, and exclaims that he's happy, I think we all find ourselves wondering just what is going on in that universe.

Well done. I really enjoyed this.

	Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this. :D You know, I think that would actually be a really fun story to write. That Draco would share a lot with our Draco but like the Harry we see the most of here, there would be some key differences. It would certainly be interesting to explore. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)
