    Well the rape makes perfect sense in terms of escallating what she's fighting against. It was vicious and understandable, given the standard Draco Malfoy response to things. I imagine the next chapter will be terribly difficult. Thank heavens for such magical things as pensieves, and other things. I can't believe the horrible boils on her face -- talk about adding insult to injury.

    Oh crap, well at least they have Draco. More very soon please. To gut-wrenching to leave like this for long.

    Quit apologizing- you know you love to do this to us. Har har. This was yet another excellent chapter that we've waited AGES to read. The details are great, and you have a real flair for the dramatic. I was relly squicky when I read that LM entered the room with DM, but was quite surprised that the curse backfired on DM as well. Good plot point. Hey, update again tomorrow!

    Even if this is a welitteitten chapter, I'm a little disapoint by the turns of the events. It was like "No, not another rape fic", I trust a lot your writting skills, so I was waiting for something more complex. But let wait the next chapter and see where are you heading.

    It's been alluded to and ve ave a great deal to say about the most recent chapter, though I won't say it all here as there is more story to come. No, I am not myself a rape victim. I have know several people who were and helped them deal with it, but I am most grateful not to be among them. I have, however, been physically assaulted and emotionally abused at some periods in my life, but never from home. I had an excellent childhood and am proud to say so. My experience with abuse is something that took me a great deal of time to come to terms with and I feel I am a stronger person because of it, but the atioation I put myself in the aftermath probably made things worse rather than help me deal with the issues I faced. I want to explore some of the 'what ifs' of other approaches, though some of what you will read in upcoming chapters reflects things I did, but I'm not in any way being autobiographical. I think the rape in this story is very different in many ways from the ones I encountered with people I know. To start, Hermione has a loving and stable relationship and I think that is very significant. She also has guarenteed identification of her attacker which makes justice somewhat simpler to attain. I have very strong feelings about Ginny and Rosemerta in this chapter, but I'm trying not to skew my POV. Perhaps I will write another fic to deal with them just as I am starting to go through the chapters and add a Severus POV (which you can read on L&LS). I promise you, the Malfoys will get their comeuppence. There is also some really interesting (at least to me) back story which will come out soon so watch ahead for that. I really hope to keep the emotions and reactions in this and the next few chapters genuine because they play on such sensative issues. I would hate for anyone to think that the rape is simply a plot device. It isn't. This chapter, in some form or other, has been part of my story plan since the beginning. Incidently, so has George's girlfriend, but that is a whole other story. I think I have waxed on enough so I will end this here. k yok you to everyone who is reading and even more to everyone who is reviewing. You will get a more personalized thanks later, but for now know I am very appreciative of your comments.
    Most Sincerely,
    Da Feather

    Excellent chapter, you nailed Hermione's emotions perfectly....in fact a bit to perfect. I am glad that Draco is suffering from the same blisters as she is, he definatly deserves to have them where he does. I am anxiously waiting to see how you have Hermione recover from this, I really hope that it is as realistic as this chapter was.

    *Sighs* Poor Hermione. Severus is impressive, though. I notice he takes her to her own Head Girl rooms (with the hippogriff painting) giving her privacy, and then tells her he loves her. Good for Severus! I'm sure the vengeance against Malfoys will come after he tends to his wife. Hmmm...

    God poor Hermone! I hope they can get her face back to normal, after all she wasn't a willing participant and was raped so she should not be expected to pay the price for infedelity. Please update soon.
