Absolutely brilliant! You DO NOT disappoint! You've written Draco and Harry's first kiss perfectly. I am now an official, card-carrying member of the Shanfawn16 fanclub. After reading this chapter, I realized just how emotionally attached I have become to your Draco. I was very annoyed with Harry for being such an idiot, but if Draco can forgive him, I suppose it's the least I can do as well.
Author's Response: Yes! That's what I need! Actual cards that I can hand out to people! ;)
Thanks for another lovely review! I happen to be quite fond of my Draco, as well. What can I say, I love the boys! :)
Reader's Response:
You might want to look into the card idea; I'm sure your other loyal reviewers would each love one as well! This story is so brilliant (I might have mentioned that once or twice?) that I sometimes get annoyed that more people don't leave you rave reviews. I guess what we lack in quantity, the five or six of us loyal reviewers make up for in quality! And incase you were wondering, there was another "incident" at work today after receipt of my Owl post.
Author's Response: *smile* Yay! I love enthusiasm in the workplace! I love it even more when it's about my fic and not work! :) I hope you keep enjoying it just as much! It means so much to me that you and my other loyal reviewers keep letting me know. Just so you know, you've made my night! :)

Lovely! I figured that's what Harry was doing, trying to gain some experience. Glad to see they're working things out. Update again soon! How many chappies did you say this story might have? 30-something? Just curious.
Author's Response: The story has 33 chapters total, with two outtakes currently written. I'll be queuing the first outtake today. I'm glad you're still enjoying it! Stay tuned! Thanks for another wonderful review! :)

"He had gone from complete and total rage and justifiable hurt to fondness and warm Hufflepuffy goodness in less than ten minutes."
I know i said it before, but i love the idea of him having fluffy thoughts!
Nice bit about his background too.
Author's Response: Thanks! I just wanted to throw a little bit in about Draco's childhood. He may have changed a lot, but he's still Draco! Thanks for coming back for more! :)

i kind of suspected something like that would happen, but you made it seem really believeable. and i loved the lesson on being Still. this was another amazing chapter, fantastic job! ~katie
Author's Response: Thanks! I think this was my favorite chapter of the whole story. Thanks for coming back to read and review! :)

Hmmmm....I promise not to throw stuff at you, but I must say I`m a bit disappointed... :-( I seriously hope Harry is just trying to get some experience to dazzle Draco with, but It`s kind of a wrong way to do it... Poor Draco!! *sniffs* Looking forward to the next chappies! Kiss and make up!!! ;-)
Author's Response: Remember... Harry doesn't always think everything through...
But yes, I did feel a bit of saddness about poor Draco, but I've always promised that the boys would end up together!
Thanks for the review!

Excellent plot twist! I have too much faith in you to take that scene at face value. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve! You've written this chapter with your usual finesse. It was great to see Draco and Hermione becoming friends; it added more depth to Draco's character and fleshed out Hermione's a bit more. I'll be keeping an eye out for my Owl post for the next chapter. Hopefully, it will show up when there aren't too many of my co-workers about. I'm still getting teased!
Author's Response: Hey... being teased builds character. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! The next chapter is in the queue, and they've been averaging every 2 days or so, so hopefully it'll be up soon. I'm glad you're liking the interactions! There's some twists coming up! Thanks for always taking the time to review! :)

Hmmm...is Harry geting a new type of 'lesson' from George?
Author's Response: Well, the twins always did like to share information with Harry... Hang in there, it'll all be explained! Promise! :)

I know that I always sing your praises, but please don't let that detract from this review. I think that this chapter is one of, if not the best, that you've written so far. You handled the "caught with your pants down" scene (poor Draco!!) perfectly. So many other authors would have used the situation to jump right to the sex. I loved the way you used the "getting drunk" scene to push the boundaries of their relationship a little without getting remotely physical. The evolution of Draco as a person is very evident in this chapter as well. Although he couldn't stop himself from falling back to past behaviour, he has grown up enough to know immediately that he was in the wrong and appologize. Thank you for this absolutely brilliant chapter!
Author's Response: Wow! That might possibly be one of the best reviews I've ever gotten! Thank you so much! *blush* I'm so glad that you like the story and that it continues to live up to your expectations. Thank you so much for continuing to read and review my fics! :)

"This seemed to be just one more example of how fate was really trying to screw with him."
lol, poor boy, your realy doing a number on him arn't you?
Author's Response: After everything he's done, he deserves it... just a little! But, don't worry, things always have a way of working out! Thanks for always coming back to review! :)

Yay, updates! Thank you! Can't wait for more - update again soon.
So, is Harry soon going to get a physical demonstration of what it's like to kiss another bloke? ;))
Author's Response: The next chapter is in the queue! And, Harry's going to get something, don't worry! Thanks for reviewing! :)

Oh, my! Poor Draco! I can't imagine things getting worse than THAT! Tell me it only gets better from here ;)
Author's Response: Fear not! The tide will begin to turn... Stay tuned! Thanks for the review! :)
03-16-2007 17:53 Rated 10 *laughing out loud* That was brilliant! Can`t wait to find out where this goes ;-) Author's Response: Yay! Glad you liked it. I giggled quite a bit as I wrote this one. The next chappie is in the queue! Thanks for reviewing, as always! :)

Harry took that well. Perhaps he was hiding something?
Author's Response: Always a possibility... You'll just have to keep reading to find out! :) More is on the way! Thanks for reviewing! :)

Thank-you for an excellent (and humorous!) chapter. Poor Draco! I was actually embarrassed for him. That just proves your skill as a writer; Draco seems so real that you can empathize with him. I can only imagine what you'll subject him to in future chapters. I'll be keeping a close eye out for my next Owl post!
Author's Response: I'm afraid there's a bit more embarrassment in store for our Draco before he can reap the benefits... Stay tuned! The next chapter is in the queue! Thanks for continuing to come back for more! :)

hehe! handled very well! I'm glad this chapter came now and not earlier in the story. it was all ready!
(hehe, handled! came! Oh good grief, my immature thoughts betray me)
Author's Response: LOL. If you liked this chapter... just wait for the next! There'll be more to 'handle' then!
Thanks for the review! :)

"Draco shuddered at the extremely naughty images that quickly ran through his head at Harry's statement."

poor draco, all 'dressed up' and no place to go...

Yay, updates! I like how you're developing things slowly -- makes the relationship more believable, I think. Can't wait to read more. Update again soon!
