Absolutely brilliant story. Ron and Pansy are written so well, which is refreshing since Ron always seems to be written as the bumbling, shelfish, insensitive jerk and Pansy is always a simpering, shrill bint. I always appreciate a story that redeems them a bit. I love Hermione as much as the next fangirl, but I easily get sick of the martyr status she's depicted in in so many stories.

And the relationship that Pansy and Draco share is wonderful. It's raw and honest and almost cathartic in a wierd way for both of them. Like they turn to each other for love, companionship, comraderie and understanding, but also (besides apparently having to live together for a reason I can't wait to find out about) kind of keep each other around to remind them both of the mistakes they made in the past and the things they were forced to do. Almost to remind themselves that from now on they always want to be the ones in control of their lives.

And then there are so many questions I have. What is the meaning behind Pansy's purple eyes and why are they so dangerous to show? Why can't anyone know where they live and why can't she choose who gets to floo into her own house? Why do she and Draco live together even now? What exactly is going on with Hermione and why did she push Ron away? Who is behind creating Lycanserum of all things and what exactly does Harry think is going on?

I know I'm rambling but well written stories get me very excited. And now that I've made a complete fangirl out of myself, I'll end by saying that I love this story andcan't wait for the update.

Ohhhh my. I've completely gone to jelly with the epicness of that chapter. So many questions have finally been answered, and they've exceeded my expectations. I think I might be onto who she actually is, and if I'm right then this story is truly epic (there I go saying epic again, but I think it's appropriate). I just need one final question answered and then I can piece it all together. Until then, as usual fantastic story and I CANNOT wait for the next few chapters. Five stars.

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! It made my day. What would you do if I told you there is even more buried in this story? The next chapter is already in my lovely beta's hands so hopefully it will be up next week. 0:)

Whoa, talk about intense. I absolutely love this story and can't wait for an update. I'm still curious to find out exactly what curse it is that Bellatrix put on Ron. And I can't wait to see how his family reacts to what just happened or seeing him with the dark mark. Ten stars for you.

Interesting story. I really like the dynamic that Neville and Draco have, with Neville not being a quivering child anymore. And I appreciated that there was only a seed of possible friendship potential planted there. This would make a really interesting multi chaptered fic. Anyways, good job.
