    Thanks for the information on the background for this fic, very interesting. I was had a bit of difficulty with this story line, but I am really impressed with the depth of your character development and the time you have taken to get all the characters to where they are now. All the drug and self abuse that Hermoine put herself through was intense and strange. But i could see how she got there and now that she has moved on, it makes her a much richer and flawed human. thanks for sharing this fic with everyone!

    Fabulous!
    I love the interweaving of the mythology [?] in with the story. You should consider writing an essay for the Fiction Alley or Contra Veritas websites re: the research you have done.
    In terms of enjoying this fic, it keeps getting better. I love the time and care you have taken in developing this story. The pacing is just right. The characterizations continue to be spot on. The story is original and gripping.
    I look froward to your updates!

    Take your time! I can be patient. *shifts* Okay, maybe not. But I will be^

    I don't see Hermione as an Mary-Sue, you're simply exploring parts of her personality that could be brought out according to the circumstances, and I admire you for that. It takes a certain amount of flexibility that not a lot of people had, so kudos to you!
    Good luck on the completion of the next chapter! And thank you for your review! You're right, I can see Rita Skeeter saying Whoremione. *laughs* Although it was Draco that called her that in the story Id.

    Again, I can't wait to read what you have in store. Congrats on a fab story!

    Please tell me you will finish this story?! I think it is one of the best DM/HG on this site. I have been checking back everyday to see if you have added another chapter! You have done a great job at keeping Draco true to the character. Too many fic's have Draco being WAY to fluffy. You seem to have found the right combination of agressivness and heart to make him believable. Please add more chapters soon...I am dying of the suspence!

    I am really enjoying this story! It's such a nice change to read one where the author has actually taken the time to edit. I also loved the talking clocks. The "barrowing" of the Little Shop of Horrors and Princess Bride alave ave me quite a chuckle.

    Keep it up.... I definately look forward to the rest of the story. At the risk of sounding like a giggly groupie, you're a very good writer and I am definately into your vision of the HP world!

    This is an absolutely amazing journey!

    When I began this journey at chapter 1, I enjoyed your story-telling fluency greatly, although I was a bit disappointed when you pronounced Hermione a Mage. Somehow, I felt that "Oh no! Not Mary Sue!Hermione!". However, I'm glad to see that your story did not descend into pure fluff, even if essentially Hermione is the kick-ass heroine, but the chapters 19 onwards where Hermione had to deal with the devastating loss of her family and sanity were well-written angst. The descent from smoking to sex and drugs, and the final overdose from drug-taking were an effective, although brutal way of showing the depths of her despair.

    I felt that you used Hermione's Mage powers to "share" her emotions with the world a very interesting writing device. It reminded me greatly of the Thai horror flick, "Nang Nak", wherein the ghost's displeasure sent a raging storm to plague the villagers in her village. However, does this emotional expression work only for anger, pain and depression? Might it not also work for extreme pleasure?

    The Mage powers were also an interesting addition to your love-making scenes; I enjoyed the white butterflies created by Draco and the rose petals, which I think/hope were crd byd by both their powers combined.

    It worries me greatly that you mentioned in your final author's notes that Draco won't die, but gave no confirmation of Hermione; and that the story might end in tragedy. However, it is your story, and even if I get the sense that I might not enjoy the ending, I feel that I'm in too deep into your story to pull away here. I'm very curious how you'd tie all the loose ends; and even how Snape will fare. (You are not the only one to be besotted by those wonderfully compelling Slytherin men. *grins*)

    As you continue to plot your story further, could I request an email update for this story? Like I said, I'm quite hooked and have recommended this story to the Contras Veritas website; and would love to inform other D/Hr shippers if there are updates to this story.
