Great story any chance of it being finished.

This story is captivating. It drew me in from the summary, and I couldn't put it down. This ending is such a cliffhanger. I don't know who the last two characters were, and I'm still in the dark about what happened to Hermione. I know it's been a long time, and you likely won't read this review since you've gotten so many, but please would you consider writing one more chapter? Or just at least tell us all who attacked Hermione. I cannot bear not knowing. I'm going to favorite this story, and I'll follow it just in case you decide to tell who attacked Hermione. And maybe Millie too? You don't have to make it fancy!

This is a very intriguing story. Both Draco and Pansy's characters are good. Draco seems especially in character in the line "He touched what was mine" from chapter six. In that we can tell that Draco is starting to care for Pansy. He stays in character well too, though, not being too sentimental.

Pansy's character, however, seems to be a bit varied. She's obviously gone through a lot, first with the death of her family, then the rape. However, she seems to 'break' character at times, like when she completely remakes Millicent's costume. Maybe it's just mood swings? However, your Pansy on a whole is very well done.

I am a bit confused about when exactly this story takes place. It sounds like sometime between 6th and 7th year, but I'm not sure. Is it the summer?

This is a fantastic start, and I look forward to reading the rest!

Pansy really annoyed me in this chapter. Yeah there was supposed to be a lot of angry tension to build up to the kiss, but she was just a whiny, childish, obnoxious, ass. Draco should have told her to grow up and get over herself. Anywayssss the ending was hilarious and I cracked up for a good five minutes. I'm excited to see what will happen. Also, I respect Pansy for refusing to succumb to Voldemort.

Wow. That was intense. That sucked. That made me wince. That made me say, "Oh my God". That made me sad. Depressed. Want to eat a pint of ice cream. Alright, guess I should just move onto the next chapter. Draco better show some TLC. And hopefully Pansy doesn't go through another cryin, "I'm going to go lock myself in a room for a week" phase again. Ahh this is just angsty and intense.

I felt like everyone's been in character so far, but Voldemort was definitely too tolerable, casual, and overall nice. Why did he tolerate Draco's feelings for Pansy? Draco did well with saying how Pansy being raped made him seem like a failure, but wouldn't Voldemort see Pansy as an unacceptable weakness for Draco? Pansy and Draco have been IC, Pansy's getting soft and not really snarky, but her family was murdered so its alright. Overall, great job!
Oh one more thing, was Draco going to have sex with Pansy?! What the HELL was he thinking? Why would Pansy want to have sex after being raped? Even if Pansy wanted a distraction, Draco should not have assumed sex was the best option.

Wow. Usually I don't review, but that ending was just powerful. That was raw, pure emotion from a Slytherin. Amazing job. I hope we get to see some more in-depth speculation of Pansy. And I can't wait to see more of Draco and his personality. Great work!

Is the 2nd last one Blaize?

Argh, too bad there is no end.

It was so great that for once Pansy was not... well you know.

And there is so much tension... really too bad it stopped like that.

Just in case I will add for story alert.

(even if it stopped a long time ago)

Heya,

I came to check up on this story. Ir ead it ages ago and loved it, although there hasn't been an update since, I couldn't resist rereading it and I fell back in love with it! This is such a fantastic story. Thank you so much for all the detail and effort you have put into it! The last chapter particularly left me captivated, it's just like the battle lines have been drawn and we are all waiting for the next chapter when the war begins... I just hope you haven't given up on this story! I hope you write more soon.

Thank you so much for that detailed reply. I'm always interested in hearing what an author thinks when creating her characters and plots. You definitely succeeded in creating Slytherins who are real people and not just out and out evil like Rowling nwould have us believe. I hope rereading Helpless will get some creative juices churning. I think you have done a great job in maintaining its stride and voices despite the fact that the story has been going on for a while. Good luck!

I am so in love with this story. I just sat down one night and read all of it. It has everything I want. I love your Pansy character, she is so strong and real. And the new trio's relationship is so complex and caring, I can really tell what they mean to one another. The House intrigues are fun especially the Slytherins' interactions with Harry & Co. But the best part has to be the Dransy love! I don't know if you are still working on this story anymore but an update would be so great!

A masquerade ball sounds fun. But I think Chapter 3 is missing?

I can't WAIT to read the rest of this...and the sexual/romantic tension between pansy and draco? MEOW!

I hope it's not going to be Blaise/Ginny, can't stand Slytherin/Gryffindor ships (with the exeption of Ron/Pansy). Ginny was a little funny, curious what's she's going to do with Blaise. Wouldn't mind it being one-sided though. Is it someone from Gryffindor?
