    Chapter 5: I hope the same potion that healed Snape will be used to fix Lucius' face. Will the Weasleys all come over to Voldemort's side? I would imagine Molly would change sides in a trice if Dumbledore really attempted to murder Ginny.

    That group certainly believes in marriage and especially babies. Ginny looks to be the next blushing bride. I think Voldemort may have to hold his breath about Draco and Harry, though. those two look like a pair.

    I think you must like Narcissa as much as I do - that is to say, "off with her head!" but I realize that may not be an option. She passes up Lucius because he likes sex too much? How many readers will volunteer to be the newest Death Eater to get a chance at his marriage bed? Even with the facial scars? LOL The scars shouldn't affect his performance, right?

    Narcissa is going from the frying pan into the fire, methinks. If she thought Lucius was too interested in sex, she may come to regret her stance. Voldemort is very powerful and one of his powers probably is stamina. Narcissa is beautiful, but very stupid. I'm glad Lucius is shot of her.

    This story is heating up and getting more interesting as the 'good guys' have a bit of trouble in their ranks between Narcissa, Aquila, and Voldie. Will Narcissa try to betray them? I wonder what will happen next? This is getting suspenseful.

    Oh my. Update again soon! I am really intrigued by your story. Its a welcome change when someone twist the plot around so well as you do here, I really love it:-)) I hope Ginny will be ok, being betrayed by the ones you should trust always makes me want something very good to happen for that person. So, Lucius and Narcissa is not so close, maybe there is someone else for Lucius to love and to love him back? Ginny, or maybe Hermione maybe? I do wish you will have Herminoe to be on Harrys side. First of all, she is intelligent and smart, Dumbledore and his companions dont deserve such a clever witch on their side. Seccond, I like Hermione and therefore would like her to be on the rigth side of the figth. Third, and most important, I don't want Harry to have another friend that wasn't a friend after all, I want him to know that Hermione really is his friend no matter what!!! Please update soon, I want to know what happens next!!!!

    Chapter 4: Sorry I took so long to review. I was on vacation for ten days and now I'm catching up.

    Family dynamics are always the most convoluted and the most interesting in stories. Aquila's dichotomy of resenting Narcissa's disinterest in her spouse while simultaneously envying her the ability to stand clear of emotions is fascinating.

    Draco's comment that Harry would think any family better than none was very insightful.

    I'm relieved that Harry is distrustful of Ginny's abrupt entrance to their enclave, but it sounds as though Ginny's going to be an asset, whenever she gets over whatever she's screaming about.

    Ginny's full name is Ginevra, not Virginia.

    Short chapter, but packed with family interactions and it moves the story forward. Nice writing.

    Chapter 3: Wow, chapter three already! Nice! And the plot thickens. The witches aren't quite all as chummy as one would suppose, are they? Why is Aquila picking on Narcissa? So far, it seems unwarranted. Will we learn why Aquila feels such antipathy toward Narcissa? And how does SHE know what Narcissa feels for her husband? Is that common knowledge? Aquila saying all that in front of Draco seems even more bizarre. And rather mean of Aquila to say Draco's mother feels nothing for his father.

    So Ginny Weasley enters the equation. Are the Wealeys all on Dumbledore's side? If so, then having Ginny in their stronghold may be dangerous.

    Nice chapter, increasing the tension. I can't imagine what will happen next. Good work and nice writing. Thanks for the quick update!

    Chapters 1-2: Your ability to build alternate realities is absolutely amazing! All the parts fit together into a coherent whole that matches canon just enough to make your story slide right into place as a true possibility. Kudos!

    I also like the little touches which bring the tale to life like the little elf darning a sock in Harry's bedroom, while waiting for him to awaken.

    There is a glimmer of a Harry/Draco pairing in the offing and it's obviously okay with Draco's parents. Having all the baddies turn out to be good people with loving families (especially prolific Snape - well that makes sense in any universe, he's hot) is a constant jolt. Grandfather Voldemort? Good gracious. In common with many, I think Dumbledore has been way too shortsighted in the books and movies, making one wonder if he's just 'dumb' and that's how he got his name, or if there is something more sinister about him. You're portraying the sinister avenue very well. It all clicks together.

    There have been two chapters in two years. Are you going to continue this?

    I think I am going to like this!!! I find it highly entertaining when someone takes the plot, twist it all around and does it well. You are doing it very well, exellent writing I must say:-)) I would like you to have Hermione on Harry's side, there are several reasons: First of all, I like Hermione, never been to fond of Ron, but I really like Hermione. Seccond, so many stories where the story is twisted like this, Hermione is on the "wrong" side, I would like the change. Third, she is one of the most brilliant minds, surely a brilliant mind would be able to see and aknowlegde the truth like Harry does. Fourth, I would love to have Harry keeping a friend who is a friend because they like him, not because of some scheeme made by Dumbledoore. I usually like her to be paired with Severus, since that is not an option here, maybe Remus will be available? I know it is a Harry/Draco main pairing, but some other pairings would be nice too:-) Anyway, keep up the good work, I look forward to see more of this!!!!

    I really hope you continue with this story, because it's so enjoyable and well-written. I like the fact that you decided to leave Hermione in the equation, and I've never really trusted Dumbledore. I don't know what it is that's starting between Harry and Draco, but it looks like it could be fun! :-) Maybe Hermione could join?(heehee!) But seriously, keep going!
