Just finished reading this, all I can say is WOW. I love your portrayal of all the characters in this story, especially Draco, I feel that you have done him justice. Amazing work!

Nice story! Was an excellent read. Thanks!

I’m really enjoying this story. The various layers are smoothly put together!

I just found this, and I see it was finished several years ago, so I don't know if you're still accepting reviews or not. What I've read so far seems good and well written, but... (yeah, there's a but), what about Ron and Katie Bell testifying? Draco almost murdered them. The fact that neither was his intended target doesn't change the fact that if either had died, Draco would have been guilty of first-degree murder.

I'll admit, I don't like Draco. I don't hate him since he's not worthy of hate, but I really don't like him. There's just something that's both vicious and cowardly about poison being used to commit murder that makes me shudder. I've read reports from people who survived being poisoned, and they all agree it's extremely painful and terrifying.

I do understand that Draco acted under duress. But you seem to think Hermione was the only victim here, and she wasn't. Anyway, this does seem interesting, so I'll keep reading.

I've read this story, from when I awoke, after work & until this time. Though I do not believe it for many reasons, the deal, Lucius' death, the much too easy way in which far too many deatheaters were seized at once, Astoria's overall portrayal, this is certainly, doubtlessly, a wonderful story indeed. I certainly like that, and especially for being a pre-cursed child bit, not that I deam that play to be worth much, Albus & Scorpius are tight. All in all a worthwile read.

When I find a complete story i normally wait until I have finished it before I comment but have just read the first chapter and thought it funny this was just something that would happen to Ron

I LOVED THIS. Every moment was perfection. We don’t see nearly enough of Draco and Astoria AND to have them in the same story as Ron and Hermione was amazing! I also liked how you portrayed the Malfoys. Everything was so realistic and wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! It’s a favorite now, for sure :)

Wow! I've spent two days on this wonderful gapfiller.

It was very kind of JKR to give us nineteen years to fill in and I love to see what many people do with them, but I have to say this will definitely go into my favorites. I love the relationship you show between Ron and Hermione; I believe you very realistically proved that her original decision to put those two together was the right thing and no mistake. They will probably, both of them, always have their own insecurities. But each difficulty will only make them stronger.

And I also love the very slow one step forward two steps back path to redemption for Draco, and how it was Astoria who enabled him to reverse that equation in the end. Like Snape, Draco will never be "nice", but he has learned how to be a good guy, in spite of himself.

Lovely ending. Thank you for sharing it.

This was an absolutely perfect ending to a really great story! I read 2/3rds of this years ago but never finished it until glad I came back! While I came for Ron and Hermione, you left me wanting to read more of Draco and Narcissa side of the story. I loved how you switched between POVs seamlessly. I also thought the plot was original and intriguing and your character growth and development was really well-crafted and well done! Great job and thank you for this gem :)

God, I loved this story so much. I, for some reason, get bored in super fluffy Romione stories after a few chapters, and I can't stand angst stories. I just don't believe that Ron and Hermione would be with other people or give up on each other after the war. Anyways it seems that it's always extreme stories I find and so yours was a gem of a find. I loved the Romione part of the story a lot it felt natural and genuine. I also loved that we saw so many characters in particular of course Draco. I love redemption stories and I kind of wish u kept going to see more. I also loved the ending with the new generationumber and the parallels. It was just a wonderful story and I wanted you to know that. :)

Hermione is brilliant! I think Lucius will suffer more under this plan than he would in Azkaban.

Poor Ron! I'd die of embarrassment.

Hello! I'm almost half way and loving the story! Please do write soon. It's 2016! -p.s my fav is 'Pictures'

I am half-way through, and I am really liking this story, but I just have to say how much I LOVE how you've written Ron & Harry's relationship! I love the banter! You can tell how close they are and sound how true 18 year old best friends would talk. It is the best I've read so far... Well done!

I love Astoria's character!
