That was a disturbing chapter, but well written nonetheless. I’m so glad that both boys, especially Harry, are in safe arms with Severus. Hopefully, he can help to heal and protect them both.

You did indeed warn us... : p
Very...well written...poor Harry. Poor Draco...Dursley...oi...Dursley.
I love the Muggle pen lol...I read another fan fic where Harry transformed his quill into a Muggle pen to help him write better. I am now decided that if I ever went to Hogwarts, I would bring tons of spiral notebooks and packs and packs of Muggle pens! What is this parchment and quill nonsense!? lol
awwww Harry awww i want to give him a hug but we now see the gryfindor in him and Draco as a friend love the idea
Well, that was a bit of a shock! I had a funny feeling that rape was going to crop up somewhere in here, but not that Draco was going to come into it. I like the way you portrayed the two as being bonded by similar experiences, it makes sense. I did the same in Heir To Prince Manor. People often think that just because draco's family was rich and he acts like a spoiled brat that he couldn't have possibly been abused, but I disagree. Abuse has nothing to do with money or poverty, it has to do with power and control. I had to attend classes on child abuse as a preschool teacher in FL to recognize the signs, and I've also known a few victims, and abuse is not just limited to the "lower classes", it crosses all stations of life.
draco's parents were huge supporters of Voldy and it would make sense that Lucius, who abused his house elf, would also abuse his son if he felt like it. Draco uses his father as a shield, but also is afraid of him. And no wonder.
But now, of course, Snape has to deal with two of them, and I hope Harry starts to get better.
Great job. The journal part works really well, those victims I mentioned before had to do that exercise and they said it really helped them.
Author's Response: Thank you, I always appreciate your reviews. I felt the same way about Lucius - he is a right old bastard, and I think it quite canon to believe that Draco was doing a lot of things in fear of the man. SO, I'm giving him an out. The poem I mention is integral to the title of this story and will crop up again in a few chapters, where there will be links to the full version. It is a powerful piece - wish I had written it, but I didn't!
... What is "dopping?" (chapter title)
ugh, you did warn us. :( if only you had warned us that draco would be showing up too. why does every long h/c fic in this fandom seem to include draco!? >:-(
Author's Response: Oh Sheesh, that's what I get for typing on the run! Thanks for the catch!
And Draco makes three I am glad he is with him and I hope Lucius ends up in a cell next to Vernon and Petunia.
Author's Response: Muahahaha...

Wonderful story!! Both serious and fun - and I love the way you have managed to explain the father/son-situation and the early inclusion of Draco. It is not too sweet and not too harsh. It is, i.o.w spot on.
Nice! I'm looking forward to the next update. This was a sad chapter though.
Aw poor Harry and Draco! They have alot in common.
Nice story, and the description of the rape and abuse was tastefully done.
aww poor harry, and draco of course. at least they have sev and each other to help them through it, i love a 'nice' draco!
