    I cannot describe how incredible this story is. I have read a LOT of fanfic, I'm actually embarrassed to think about how much, many thousands of stories. I have never been so frantic to get to the next page. You really kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat.

    I did notice that you have completed quite a few stories, I'll have to go read those now. Cheers!

    I absolutely adore you. That was a perfect story. Let's see: to start from the first, I myself tried to guess with every work Harry spoke how people would twist it, and yet, you did a great job of surprising me (although the way they reacted was disgusting) alot of the time. To be honest, when Harry had given in mid story (of the sequel) to his affections for Malfoy, I had thought that the story would die down a bit with that frustration, a central theme, gone especially so judging from your first Veela story. But after those chapters, I was grinning every moment at the deeper development of their relationship as well as Harry coming to strength. I enjoyed what happened in justice to everyone, and was a bit surprised and glad for Ginny's attitude. That totally blew my mind especially in consideration of the evil Ginny from your Arguer story. When I heard the minister's punishment, I wrinkled my nose and connected with Draco on some level. Harry made good justifications as to why it was more horrible than it should have been, but the moment I read it I thought it was far too tame. lol I was very glad for Draco's strength in fighting against the curse and the minister's spell (obliviate). That was wonderfully written. I kept fearing that once Batty was gone, she would go to the minister and relay that Harry was in Malfoy Manor, so that she could do what she thought she should be doing: guarding Draco from Harry. I kept expecting that, but I'm glad you didn't go that route. Overall wonderful story. I enjoyed it immensely.

    Another amazing story. My heart really went out to Harry and nearly broke when Draco was Obliviated. You did such a good job playing with the reader's emotions. The soul piece humming in response was just cool. Your description's amazing, but I said that last time. What all did I say last time... hmm... I was worried when Draco sent Batty away since she knows so much. I didn't consider how loyal she would still be to the family. I also think you were right that Harry shouldn't just forgive Hermione and Ron. After what Harry's been through, he really couldn't just start to trust them again. Gah, and all the tension leading up to the sex. I don't know if I should give you a cookie because it was so good or if I should kick you for making it take so long. It was great sex though. Damn good. I really love Draco marking the back of Harry's neck and how that got Harry through his time with Scrimgeour. I was actually proud of Harry when he kept poking that and kept his promise to not hurt himself. Ah, so many other things I loved. I hate coming in and trying to do a whole story.

    The Cassandra Curse might be THE most horrible curse ever.
    Just the thought of it makes me need a shower and a cry. Thank you for the long, satisfying conclusion. A shorter one would have left me still bleeding. In the course of two days, you have become one of my favorite authors. Your characterizations are awesome. The people are complex and Make Sense.
    Thank you.

    This story and A Reckless Frame of Mind-- I just have to say-- Wow. Absolutely stunning. Not only fantastic and emotional stories, but also exquisitely written, I love fanfic, and if I find a good plot, even a poorly written one, I'll usually read it anyway--- but this. Really, it's been a long time since I've seen an author that can weave a wonderful story AND have the writing ability to back it up. I'll be following your stories. Thanks!

    Sweet. I like how Draco snuck in the curse on Eugenie . . . she deserved it for what she did. How can you stand beside someone knowing what super nastyness they did in just pure hatred. I liked Lila, though and how you made her seem less an automaton near the end and more like person. Awesome . . .

    Ch. 5 Shoot. Maybe it was too much to expect that Harry would see through this ploy and realize what Draco was doing. But I thought a man who had trained himself to survive dangerous magical predators and heal his own injuries would be smart enough to ignore a few hours of hunger! Why didn't he do something physical like jog around the house, try to hunt up those damned elves or play with the Quidditch equipment if he wanted to stave off hunger or at least ignore it? Why go marching straight to Draco's rooms? Part of keeping the man at arm's length means KEEPING HIM AT ARM'S LENGTHS!!

    Stupid Gryffindor.

    Ch. 4 Harry is definitely outmatched here. Draco is a Slytherin with years of practice at digging into people and manipulating them. His work as a Psyche-Diver and his abilities at mind-reading also mean that Harry doesn't have a chance at beating him at his own game. It's just so frustrating to read a story that's basically abuot Draco knowing Harry's every thought and wearing him down until he rolls over like a whipped bitch at Draco's feet.

    Why doesn't Harry at least try to run? He's got a wand now and he's made plans to leave London. So what if he has that stinking bit of soul inside him? If he gets far enough away from Draco, that won't matter.

    Draco is dangling that bit of hope in front of Harry to get him to stay and in the meantime he will use every tactic at his disposal to get to Harry. The Gryffindor should just take off...now.

    I guess I'll just have to see what happens next.

    Ch. 3 It's depressing what a manipulator Draco is and how Harry can't see through it. Harry has a piece of Draco's soul in him now! Why can't he see how Draco is leading him on and give Draco a taste of his own medicine. It's really frustrating to see how easily Harry is led around like this. Maybe he should have snatched his own wand and left, after all.

    Ch. 1 I know this story is written already so what I say won't influence the outcome of future chapters. But I understand Harry's bitterness and frustration here.

    Harry shouldn't be blithering on about gratitude. It's a very ephemeral emotion especially when people tell you you ought to be grateful. Resentment is actually the first reaction to such statements.

    He knows that Draco is partially using him to boost his fame and recognition in the outside world. In spite of gloating over the cases he's solved, Draco still remains a pariah at St. Mungo's and despised by the world at large as a former Death Eater. No amount of cured patients can make the difference about that.

    But if he can boast that he's cured Harry Potter, that would be a true feather in his cap. That must rankle. After all, he desperately wants to be with his friends not Draco Malfoy, who would be a poor substitute in most ways.

    WOW! OMG! *gasping shock*

    I am flabbergasted with the depth and complexity of this awsome story. I'm an angst junkie and I just got the biggest fix ever. *shivver* I didn't leave a review at the end of the first part because I just wanted to jump into the rest and find out what happened.

    What a hideous curse, and so well thought out and explained. I must bow to your expertise in weaving a tale, ensnaring my thoughts for a night and a day, enthralled in the passion and overwhelming dynamics between your Harry and Draco. The character development was completely believable and the flow of the story was smooth and fast-paced, making for quite a thrill to read.

    I go through many stories, hoping to find a gem or at least a diamond in the rough that just needs shaping and polishing...but this one is flawless and ready be set. (ok, I'm gushing...I'll stop now.)

    Thank you for sharing your talents with myself and the others that lurk in places that feed our craving for great HP stories and delicious boy kissy boy stuff. Hehehe, please don't ever stop.
