Holy Cow!  What a wonderful sense of confusion you've put into Draco.It's nice to read a likable Pansy, also.

ooooohhh...frustration!  this is good writing.  I hope they resolve their issues sometime in the next decade.

Holy cliff hanger. Okay maybe its not a cliff hanger per say but it is a dramatic revelation at the ending of a chapter. Does that sort of thing have a name?thank heavens for Pansy, both for Ron and for Draco, hey and for me. Moi because I secretly love Ron & Pansy or Harry & Pansy. Ron because he needs the love a worthy witch and Draco because he needs a life long friend to tell him to get his head out of his ass. My most favorite line? he’d be declared a holy saint before he went willingly

He almost got there, one day he will admit he has already fallen for her, and catch up with nearly everyone else who has already figured it out!

Thank goodness for magic cleaning up the aftermath of a paint war. I was flinching thinking about how horrible that would be "the muggle" way. What the hell is up with Hermione? She is playing mental torment games with poor Draco. Make her stop.

Your story is so lovely and nuanced. It is simultainusly original and very true.I can't wait for the bext chapter. You should be proud.

Holy long ass chapter bat girl!!! Will they all be 10k from now on?I pledge my eternal fangirl love to you for showing us the paint samples!! It was like HGTV porn and I loved it. Will they magic the paint on the walls or do it the muggle way. HEY I make notes on my garden every year. Its called a garden journal and you are not to mock Draco. He is being a good gardner, not an obsessive geek. Unless I am an obsessive person? NAH!

Nice insights into Draco's inner man

I like the way you have drawn the characters and the relationships. Hermione seems to fancy him.

Ah, colour names. Always a little barmy, aren't they. No wonder Draco would rather just have bare walls!

Head-banging = rather funny, too!

Author's Response: Thanks! For everything! :)

Ooooh, this is beautiful! I hope there will be another chapter soon...

Nothing like a good paint fight to make things heat up LOL :)

Argh – Men! They CAN be really stupid sometimes...

reading this is sort of like eating custard--sweet, creamy, and meant to be savored slowly.  I really like that bit about tiny events being life-changing.

one bit of confusion--where are draco's apparition boundaries?  because I thought I read at the beginning of this story that there was quite an expansive anti-apparition jinx around the house, and yet hermione apparated just outside the front doorstep.

is this story finished...?  it's so open ended...  I do love it.

I like the description of a friend as a person who'd give you the bigger piece of cake.  it feels right.

and just by the way, i am impressed with draco's ability to grow avocados in scotland, warming charms be damned.I do not have a ginny so my walls are white.  you have a way with words.  and the bit where friends are a bonus...draco has turned out rather philosophical."For example, an uninterrupted lift could go from the entrance level of the Ministry of Magic to halfway between the third and fourth levels in six and a half seconds, if the journey was not interrupted"  this sentence is slightly awkward ;)"I cannot buy another book until I have read all the ones I already have. I made a deal with myself.”  good god, this sounds just like me.draco is like my dad and his friends.  spatulas and spoonulas...cambozola and tomato slices....I am thrilled.fabulous!
