    Harry may actually not going to be a Dark Lord...except he just got his first follower, one that he stole from Voldemort. Kind of fitting really.

    Oooh -I like that way of looking at it.  That becomes very important in the sequel, too.

    I know there are 8 chapters left but this has to be one of the best, most intense and emotionally ravaging Harry-Draco climaxes of any story I've ever read. I think the thing that makes it work is that it doesn't ignore the dark emotions and connections that make up personal relationships. A a real friendship takes even the things that are, shall we say, less than stellar into account. All the petty (and not so petty) jealousies, dislikes, and non-altruisitic feelings and actions as well as all the good stuff. If Harry had been able to hold back his horror at the Dark Mark from the link Draco would have felt it and it would not have been good. I think that the spell formalizing the life debt would have probably punished him and the harm to Draco would have been irrepairable. I know things aren't all sunshine and roses now (far from it) but Harry's honesty about EVERYTHING probably made it easier for Draco to let go and reelase what he needed to as well. The wound in the relationship is still there but it looks like the bleeding has stopped and healing has a chance tobegin.

    Now I am worried about what happened ot Narcissa. Draco had said that he wished that he could have been a Gryffindor and tried saving his mother. Did he mean saving her from having to take the Mark? Or saving her life? I have a bad feeling that it is the latter (but I might be wrong--you've surprised me with things throughout this fic and I may be reading subtet that isn't there). I suspect that Draco still has to come to terms with his father's death, despite his intimation that he had no respect for Lucius' cowardice in taking a day to have the guts to turn an effective Killing Curse on himself. Given that it seems that he had emulated his father in looks and behaviours from the time we met him at age 11 in Madam Malkin's, his actual feelings concerning Lucius now can't be anything but complex and confusing.

    No, Draco's problems are far from over, this breakdown really only releases those feelings about the part of his life that are connected to Harry in some way. He still has a lot of other issues to bring out of the vault before he has any right be called healed.

    Whew! I think my review might rival one of your chapters for length!

    On to the next chapter!

    'Emotionally ravaging'.  Yay!

    (Uhm... wait, that isn't the appropriate response.  I mean: I am so sorry.  Here are some tissues?)

    Draco is still pretty messed up, but at the same time he's been through so much it's hard to see anything fazing him after this.  I see him now as the type of character who can face any challenge with confidence.

    Narcissa is dealt with more in Geas of Gryffindor than here.

    Really lovely chapter, this. While I've never been one to need Harry and Draco be closer, I have to appreciate the way you wove them together here. And I very much liked Ron and Severus being the combined force that led to Harry visiting Draco. Nicely done.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  As for H + D getting closer, I *so* much felt this was where JKR was headed during the fifth book that I started to think, *hmm... how interesting!*  And then it didn't happen.

    So I wrote it instead.  ;)

    I love this story! I think that this is by far my favorite fic on this site....they're all good, but this has a great, wonderful relationship between Draco and Harry that you aren't quite sure what it is yet...absolutely wonderful. 

    I can't wait until the next installment of this story!!!



    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for your review!  I'm glad you like it.  There will be more very soon.  :)
