	Very sad, but so well done! The idea that the spell would send Draco to specific moments was an excellent one - great use of the prompt, too. I really liked this. (Reply to this)

	Oh this made my heart ache deliciously. Well done! The idea of Draco slipping through pockets of time was genius too. Oh and the part with Voldie in a tutu? LOL! Brilliant! (Reply to this)

I usually prefer happy endings. Actually, I prefer endings that make sense and are appropriate for the story. And this story falls into that last category. It was not a happy ending, by any means, but it felt right. I really liked this story, even though it broke my heart. I love that Draco was able to give Harry some happiness and help him find the determination inside to succeed. The premise was interesting--Draco showing up to help when he was needed, and I could feel his anguish when he realized that Harry didn't survive. Very sad, but very well done.
