Dammit...Hermione wake the hell up! Those aren't your friends if you have to defend your relationship to him and now he's regressing...Dammit.

I don't have the words to fully express what this story means to me. While I do not suffer from an eating disorder, I am recovering from self-harm. It is another form of control over things. There are times the urge is so strong that I have to fight not to relapse. This story brings that to life for me. To see a story system that is trying to help. The emotional turmoil, the ups & downs. It is helps. This story is beautiful and heartbreaking and gives me hope. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. It is incredibly brave.

This one hurt. Poor Draco!

I really liked this part, as it was quite profound: "...and that is what anorexia really took from you. Not your body, not your friends, it took your reflection. What you see is not what everyone else sees." I just wish Alicia would have kept that last question to herself! Poor Draco! I hope Hermione finds him so she can talk sense into those negative thoughts of his.

Looking forward to the next chapter, poor Draco but seeing him recover will be amazing

I understand that it’s about him feeling “in control” but why, why? Why couldn’t he call someone, why did she let him go? I just... :patience: I’ll wait, I’ll trust.

Oh my heart...

i don't think i would call people like that my friends, how horrible. i can only hope she stayed to tell them all how awful they had been.

And here I thought that things were on the up. I'm almost to scared to read the next chapter, but I really want to see him come out of his storm a stronger, better person.

Welp how much does hermione have to do to make him understand that she doesnt want anything from him only his love like i feel so bad for him

I am so sorry the next chapter is coming, just as I am sorry her friends sent him into a spiral. I just don't get why his friends are all so accepting, but hers are so horrible. Sigh... I feel horrible for him, but just as badly for her, as she just learned that she has spent the past 20 years of her life with people who aren't real friends. :-( I am sure the next chapter is going to be hard to read, but I trust that you will get them through. Thanks again, HG4eva

Awe poor Draco. Hermione should have known

You broke me. (Yes, I follow this on AO3 too but I was HERE this morning...) This is so friggin' heart wrenching that I can't find words to properly explain how shattered I feel. I don't even want to read the next chapter and yet we both know that I will...and I will cry the whole way through it. Amazing work, as always.

It’s a beautiful, devastating reminder of a past life.

This is such an incredible story. It has made me realize a few different things about myself that I have been struggling with and I thank you for that. You are a very talented writer and I am eager to read more. I am so sorry you are not getting the support you need from your friend. They are obviously not being a friend you might want to keep. I am sending positive vibes your way and I hope you can find the support you need in someone who deserves your friendship.
