Awwww ... this was nice.  I like vulnerable Draco, all-knowing Luna, and all-grown-up Neville.  Who wouldn't want to be cared for like one of his plants?  Lovely.

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

Thank you for the lovely review! I am so sorry it took me so long to respond, but I have a very hectic time the last couple of months and it must has slipped through the cracks.

Aww, that was beautiful.  And I so love Luna. Loved seeing Draco in this light.  And the Draco/Neville thing seems to work somehow.  Well done!

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

I adore Neville/Draco, I'm so glad you gave them - and my little fic - a chance! Thank you for the lovely comment!

Quite lovely.  I adore the prickly plant metaphor.  And you've used Luna very well--I really enjoyed that look between Draco and Harry as she led Draco off.  Well done.  Thank you for a very rewarding break in my exam grading!

Haha! Glad to be of assistance!

Oh, sweet. Good that Draco finally got some insight into his past. I think the canon one never felt as much remorse. If it weren't for Luna, how long would it have taken these two late bloomers? I also like the idea that year 7 had been anulled for those attending Hogwarts. It makes far more sense than 'honorable NEWTs'.  Small critique: I think Draco (anyone) would not think of  himself that he's 'wasting away'--at least not in the words you had him think about it. They suit better for an external observer. However, it matters little since this period is over now.

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

Heh. You're right, no one really writes cannon Draco. We always soften him and make him a bit nicer. Without Luna it might have taken them years! They both would have gone too slowly and been too shy. Them redoing year 7 is cannon for me whatever JKR might say...Haha! I got a bit carried away with the poetic language, didn't I? Maybe if Draco was feeling very dramatic and theatrical, he might think of himself as "wasting away".Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm so happy you enjoyed my little fic!

Very sweet. Love Luna's insight. :)

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

Thank you! I'm happy you liked it! What would the silly boys do without Luna?

So lovely. Perfect characterisation of Neville and Draco, and Luna's brief apperarance was spot on as well. Thanks!

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

I'm so happy you liked my Draco and Neville! And Luna! I love her dearly, but I'm always afraid of getting her wrong! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

Such a sweet story. I especially like the dialogue at the end

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

I'm really happy you liked it! I was grinning as I liked the final dialogue, it's one of my favourites too! Thank you for commenting!

I don't ordinarily go for slash (nothing against it; it's just not my thing), but this was so tender and sweet, that I'm loving it. Thanks for writing!

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

I'm so glad you gave my little fic a chance and you liked it! (You can think of it as a friendship fic, if you prefer, my beta does!) I wrote another Neville/Draco friendship fic too if you're interested. Thank you for commenting!

Neville/ Draco  pairing is not one that I've seen very often. but it works here. I really love Luna as cupid.

Response from mayfly (Author of Like a Flower to the Sun)

Thank you! There should be more Neville/Draco around!

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

If it's as well written as this, yes.
