you have probably vanished from here but i wanted to say i love this story, its really beautiful and i am sad to think that it will never be continued.

This story was super super good! one of my favorites...too bad you are not updating anymore because it's awesome.

Poor Ron please update soon!

I know this is pretty old but why didn't you ever finish it? This is probably one of the best Harry Potter fics that I've read so far and actually had me almost crying.

wow herm was a ron

i liked this story. the plotline was original and held my interest. the ideas and thoughts of the character are well-formed and consistent. the only real problem i had was that you seem to move between past and present tense without any real reason and it tends to make the sentence structure a bit choppy and difficult to read. i would go over the story once more or have a beta go over it and fix the verb tenses so that they are more consistent. other than that, i thought it was insightful and interesting.

_ I actually never read slashes...this is my first one. It was interesting to see another view instead of the typical hermione/ron ones. Although I feel really sorry for Ron..*sniff poor Ron.

This is beautiful. I loved it. Will you continue? Really well-written, and the imagery is really good.

The simple want to destroy something beautiful is horrid, because it's the last thing we should ever admit to wanting. That said, it is also frighteningly human. There's a fine line here between Ron wanting to kill Draco and kiss him, and he's crossed it, and it works. Ron wants to make Draco suffer, but in a different sort of way than the way Draco hurt him.

The prose and imagery lends itself to a very AU feeling...it's definitely purple, but I don't think it's overdone. Maybe it's because of the simplicity of the image that you can get away with the slightly flowery descriptions.

One sentence struck me as VERY odd: "What did he say?" I repeat, the humiliation inside of myself rising to a crescendo. The sentence itself reads awkwardly and it's really the improper use of "crescendo." It would be better worded: "...I repeat, my humiliation rising in a crescendo." A crescendo is the sound getting louder, reaching its pinnacle of volume, not the peak itself.

Overall, though, very surreal and a nice read.

This is so beautiful. I can't think of anything else to say.

Damn! Why don't you have more reviews?

This is *wonderful*!

I think you should keep it in Ron's POV..it makes Draco more of an enigma that way, and it's always helps the plot along if you don't know every character's intensions.

I bow to your creativity and flourish for writing..well done!

this is really nice...i love how you're doing ron's pov. i think you should keep it there, because there isn't as much fanfiction with ron's pov, and you are very good at it.

the angst is wonderful...i love it. i'd love to see where this goes.

That was... incredible. Intense. Wonderful. And so sad and painful it made me while a couple of times.

Harry's and Hermione's reaction was pretty cruel, although Harry seemed to react in a somewhat... guarded manner. Still, there's no excuse.

Ron's reaction to Draco was very much in character, especially considering his quite fragile mental state - it seems to be his way to react physically, and here he definitely had no friends to restrain him.

I'd prefer it if the story continued from Ron's point of view: you've established his mindset so perfectly already, and if we're in the dark about what Draco is playing at, it'll keep up an additional layer of mystery.

I really like this story. I love how you handle Ron, he's very... intense. Like, he feels everything so intensly. I'm interested to see what happens between them, and how their interactions continue now that everyone knows.

I would say that you should stick to Ron's POV, I think you have a good handle on it, and it might be strange to just change it in the middle. Excellent story though, excellent.

XOxoXO

I think you should keep it Ron's perspective. If you are going to Draco's, write a companion story (because it would be nice for him to explain why he spread that rumor), but I think that adding Draco's wiew would interrupt the piece and you've got a nice flow going. Keep up the good work!
