Sorry this is so late, I have been so busy with school/work. I love your creativity with magic--I think you really showed your strength with that in this story. The description of how Draco's mind responded and the whole idea of the scenes on the wall, so wonderful. Since I already read some of your comments, I know that Harry still doesn't realize the magnitude of some of these things that he thinks and says about Draco. I.E. You are the most important person in the world to me and Various desires to make Draco happy occupied many places now, just below the desire to save his life. and How can I ever give this up? How? But if his real priority was to save Draco’s life, not merely make him happy…
Whew. So intense!
One thing that bothers me about Harry's mindset (one thing among many mind you, the silly boy) is how selfish he is about his people-saving thing. He thinks that only what he wants is right and matters. It doesn't matter that people might not want him to sacrifice his life for them--that him existing, the happiness he brings, is more important than the risk on their life. Take Draco for instance. Harry is only caring about what he wants. He wants Draco to live, so he is going to sacrifice his life, not even considering that he might be wrong. Just because he thinks and because he is saving someone's life doesn't mean it's right. Draco would rather figure out another way to escape together. Argh!
