Awww! this story is definitely the one that has really touched me the most. It is a great story and I agree with HBAR and I'm not above sweet talking, bribery, or threats either. :) This was awesome and I totally enjoyed it. Great work, you two! "Cheers!"

I love Lucius Malfoy in this chapter.  Yes, the dramatic ending kind of outshines it, but the scene with Lucius and Draco really warms my heart.  Of course Lucius wouldn't use the whole "Follow your heart" line- he'd go all "Quod desidero obtineo," Malfoys always get what they want, as a matter of pride.  It was very well done, down to the very last slightly rusty show of affection.  
And of course, the big happy ending?  Makes this reader happy.  Yay!

I liked it, but I felt that the conclusion seemed rushed.

Yay!  I would turn cartwheels through my living room if I thought I could do so without any broken bones.  I always enjoy angst and drama and all of that business, but I have to have my happy ending and you didn't disappoint.

This chapter felt differerent from the others.  Not in a bad, it doesn't fit, sort of way.  I'm not really sure how to explain that.  But, it is a good thing because this chapter was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, so it was fitting. 

I really don't ever care for Lucius Malfoy, but I just can't resist your version of him.  He is still in character, always looking out for what is best for the Malfoys, but he is being a good father, or at least the best he knows how to be.  Draco's happiness is clearly important to him, and that's how it ought to be.

It took some serious nerve for Draco to declare his feelings as he did, both in print and in person.  I really liked the scene of him storming the ministry as if he were there on the most important mission ever.  But wasn't he?  His happiness was dependant on what happened that day.

Probably the most important thing is that they each took some time to find themselves before trying to be together.  Either of them in broken form would have wrecked things.  They will have fights and drama, but I feel confident that they will work things out and be blissfully happy until the end of time.

Bravo to you, ladies.  You are probably tired of each other, but it would be a shame if you never collaborated again.  So I will keep on your case about it from time to time.  Please let me know if my time will be best spent in sweet talking, bribery, threats... I'm not above any of it.  Let me know your preference :)

I'm so glad the boys worked it out in the end, and I can almost hear those sniffing aurors, but there is a niggling question at the back of my mind. Where is Peachy going to live?? Malfoy Manor or with Draco & Harry? I think we need more story to convince me the house elf is being properly cared for.

Awww. You made the Aurors snuffle!  Great finish! :)

Sweet.  Nice way to end.  I could see all those big bad Aurors crying over that, too.

I'm glad Hermione had it sorted.

I'm proud of Harry for admitting he
needs help with his alcohol problem. But at the same, well, he should know by now to never assume or jump to conclusions where Draco's concerned. I hope he'll take Hermione's words into account. I just wonder which one will make the first move...

I love getting the same scene from the other character's perspective.  Not a bit of tedium to be found here.  I especially find it interesting at the end, when Draco petrifies Harry, that in the last chapter, I was siding with Draco and thinking Harry was being a bit of a jerk for just storming out without talking about what happened.  Now, I get Harry's point of view, and am totally seeing how wrong Draco's actions and attitude seem.Thank goodness for Hermione.  These boys would be nothing without her.  She is so perceptive, and is very kind in the way she questions him and presents info to him.  Her theory on Draco's magic is interesting, and knowing her, probably spot on.I think that going to the addictions counselor is a great first step in getting back with Draco.  Before, he would have done it to get Draco off his back, or make Hermione happy or something.  Now he is doing it for himself which is truly the only way it's going to work for himI'm holding out hope that there is a happy ending for these two.  The road to get there may still have a few  potholes. but I think they can make it if they try.  They just feel right together, and I know they are both well aware of that.

'bout time Harry goes for help for his addiction! Hmm...interesting what Hermy discovered.... Great chapter! "Cheers!"

YESSSSSSSS! I can see that things are progressing in the good way for them. I'm so glad! I'm sure they'll be the happiest in the world once Draco get used to the idea.

Luna is a doll. 

Draco seems to be coming around... slowly. :)

awww! how cute! you two are fabulous together! this is easily my favorite story....or one of them at least. (: "Cheers!"

finally!!!!!!!!!!!! a chapter that doesn't end in disaster for them! that must feel really odd, huh? lol
eagerly waiting for more!

run little mouse,run XD
I just hope harry has enough sense to realize how freaked out Draco really is.
wonderful chap!!! keep 'em coming ^^

aww...mommy still loves her little boy! hehe going too fast for Draco?  (: Reading this: 10 min Draco's reaction: Priceless!  thanks for the update!

I loved the scene between Draco and his mother.  It was about time he faced the fact that she is gone.  It can't be healthy for him to continue to take the blame for her death and have so much guilt about the way he turned out.  That he was able to determine that she forgave him (or maybe didn't need to) should finally give him some peace.

The whole "poking" exchange was too funny.  I actually felt sorry for Draco who was digging his hole deeper and deeper.

And bravo to you for the ending scene.  Draco was all fired up, ready to get things going. and I found myself wondering if he knew exactly what it was that he signed up for.  After so much self loathing from wanting Harry, he sure intended to dive in head first.  I'm glad you stopped him, and had him freak out over the reality of the situation.  I think that is exactly what would have happened.  Hopefully Harry will realize that Draco is just reacting to new, unchartered territory rather than rejecting him.  Otherwise, they'll  have a real mess on their hands.  And not in a good way ;)

 

A bit too fast for him, huh?

At least Draco isn't fighting it. He may need time to get used to the idea, but I don't think it will take too long. What I wonder is if their new relationship will help Draco master his wand?

The image of Harry being so confident and Draco being the one to freak out is priceless! :)

(: thanks.

*sigh of relief* I'm glad everything is going to be ok for Harry. And Draco. It won't be easy but it will work. I wonder if Harry will take advantage of Draco's promise. After all he agreed to do everything he'llb e told to...

They made some serious headway here.  No explosive anger and fireworks like I had expected.  This is how is ought to be.  I wonder if they will be united from here on in the quest to regain use and control of Draco's magic, or if this is a temporary truce in the name of his recovery.  I hope it is the former.  They could be quite good together if they weren't both so stubborn.

I would advise keeping Hermione in the dark as to the fact that she cleans Harry's place top to bottom and he continues to drink.  All Draco has to do is look at him the right way and he is instantly reformed (or at least willing to try anyway).

Fabulous chapter!
