Blindfolded Truce by Howl starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 9]
Harry does something that causes a chain of events to happen. Yes, this is Blindfold, but this has an alternate ending. More inside if you wish to find out more, please read. The ending is longer, and different.

    Gorgeous, just gorgeous. The imagery and metaphor you used is some of the best I've read on this site. Thank you for sharing it with us.

A Potions Accident by Arualcopia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 141]
A slight twist to the usual deaging stories. What if the accident created a gas? What if it affected the entire class? How does Snape deal with fifteen toddlers?

    Oh, this is absolutely adorable! I'm so glad my sister told me about it and sent me the URL. I look forward to reading future installments when your muse provides them.

the Secret of Slytherin by Kirinin starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 229]
Amidst misconceptions and reconciliation, the lines that separate the Wizarding World will be destroyed. Enemies will serve one another as friendships are tested and forged. But first, the Sorting Hat Who Will Not Sort has a message for Hogwarts...

Warnings: some OOC (with reason). Definite and unabashed alternate universe, here: takes place from the beginning of sixth year. Snape and Harry interaction doesn't start until chapter 4.

Title: Chapter 50: CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: All Kindred Powers 30 Jul 2011
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    I want to hug Draco again.

    Yes, Harry and Draco are so very much alike which is why they can only relate in extremes until they mature. They both have done a serious amount of growing up in this story, haven't they?

    I do hope that Severus survives. Not just for Draco's and Harry's sakes but also for Remus' sake.

    Thank you for allowing Draco to explain himself. The description of him as an angel as he stood by the window really got me. He is kind of a fallen and broken angel. You know, people mention fallen angels but no one ever mentions the results of that fall very much. The results were demonstratd here so very well, I could sort of see Draco's (metaphorical) broken and crushed wings.

    As for your rec. I have read it and agree with you entirely. I ws so frustrated with the spelling and grammar errors that I copied the printable version to word and corrected them as I went along then saved the document so I could read h story again when I wanted to without the frustration!

    Now your story is so well-written that I'm actually sad that I'm getting ready to read the last chapter. Bravissimi!

    Author's Response:

    *smishes Draco, who accepts it this time...*  LOL, I think he's too messed up here to turn down any comfort.  :(

    I think I understand your impulse, but I have to wonder what story (except one's own) is worth that much effort!

Title: Chapter 49: CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: Goodbye 30 Jul 2011
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    The link made it it possible didn't it?

    Wow!

    I really need to go get a thesaurus because this was an incredible climax and Draco has redeemed himself (not all the way, but significantly so) with his actions. He's the kind of person who really needs a cosmic kick in the pants to take a step forward developmentally, doesn't he? And he was so DAMN sneaky through this whole fic! I sort of want to kick myself for buying into his play but I admit, I'm one of those fic readers who always felt that Draco had so much potential and it was a crime that he never really was redeemed in canon so I want him to be redeemed in fanon.

    But where is Severus and what shape is he in?

    Draco's realization that everyone has a bit of all the House aspects in them as he hovers there undecided couldn't have come at a better time.

    Fabulous chapter and I wish I was capable of verbalizing everything that I want to say about this entire story. I definitely will be reading the sequel!

    Author's Response:

    You really need to get a thesaurus?  For why? 

    Draco needs a cosmic kick in the pants is right.  JKR even did it.  (Guess what?  That guy you think is gonna give you power is about to move into your house and threaten your family if you don't kill someone!)  JKR's kick in the pants at least made him help out Harry, but I certainly didn't see as much about Draco Malfoy as I wanted to in canon.  (Hence ff'n).

    Yay!  I'm glad you enjoyed the story's climax.  Now, for the denoument.  Or however that is spelled.  :)

Title: Chapter 48: CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: Master 30 Jul 2011
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Oh. My.

    Draco. I wish I could say that I was surprised but... I wasn't. I can't find the words to explain why I wasn't. I'm very unhappy about it, of course and I'm frantic to know if Severus has survived but I'm not really surprised.

    I think that its possible that Draco is far more complicated mentally than anyone realized. Its possible that finding out the truth about his family's reality, his father's death, his mother's cold, pragmatic act of facilitating her husband's suicide, being Marked and many, many things that have occurred to him that we are unaware of could have compartmentalized his mind so he could deal with things. That could have allowed him to hide his intent to out Severus. I offer this as a possibility because when he opened his mind to Harry all Harry found were things concerning him.

    Or it could have been a conscious decision made after he analyzed his chances of surviving as a spy himself. Self preservation trumps an awful lot of things and Drao hadn't been raised to have a "Saving People" thing but rather a "Save Yourself" thing.

    I admit I mourn the potential Draco we got glimpses of. The might-have-beens make his final choice heartbreaking.

    Have you ever considered doing a "Five Things That Never Happened..." AU fic for your Draco from this story? I think you have the potential for some really interesting stories with this wonderfully complicted caharacter.

    Author's Response:

    Ooooh, how interesting.  Maybe I will.

Title: Chapter 47: CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: Slytherin's Secret 30 Jul 2011
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Wow! Just...Wow!

    This chapter is the perfect follow up for everything that has come before. It's that quietly happy feeling that follows an "A-ha!" moment when you can see the peices fitting themselves together, making those small adjustments to put the complete picture together. But here it's the relationships doing so. Yes, Harry still has to get his memories back and I'm sure you have plenty of things for us to learn before the story is finished, but I think I could be satisfied if the tale ended right here before a sequel began, if that makes any sense.

    Bravo!

    Thank you!

Title: Chapter 46: CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: Method in the Madness 30 Jul 2011
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    A short review this time: This was an absolutely PERFECT chapter. Severus and Remus and the Fabulous Four. I bet the person that Sev is going to tell is going to be Remus!

    Bravo!

    Author's Response:

    Yup!  Remus!
