This is absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking me along the ride. I've read for days (interrupted, alas, by RL), transfixed, raptly following how each of the characters grow throughout the story and falling in love with them. The slow building of relationship between Harry and Snape was what pulled me into the story at first, but then when Draco showed up, I couldn't help but grow fond of him too (coming from me, that's practically a declaration of love *g*). And the plot — that's really a kink for me, if one can call it that. You paced the story so well, each scene unveiling just enough new information for me to keep at pace with Harry and Draco, and each deepening interaction between Harry/Snape and Harry/Draco kept me at the edge of my seat.
I really like the way you wrote Hagrid too. I don't know why, but his character just jumped out at me and I'm really glad that he and Harry continued to be friends, even if most of the interactions took a backseat to the story.
I enjoyed reading this very much. Thank you, Mystery Author!
