Heehee :)
Great story, and yes, I think you wrote Draco (and Astoria) very well.

That was beautifully written. I loved the way you portrayed Draco's uncertainties around Astoria. That was an interesting way of looking at arrogant, irritating Draco Malfoy, and I certainly enjoyed that.

quick thing: Hair, les cheveux, is plural in French, but when you're talking about someone's hair in English, it's generally singular, so the phrase
"Draco ran a hand through his blonde hair, baffled, making them unusually messy."
would actually be
"Draco ran a hand through his blonde hair, baffled, making it unusually messy."

Also, I really like your Astoria, calm, collected, graceful, but that's really all we see of her. Perhaps that's partly because it's just a short piece, but all we see of Astoria is how dignified and ladylike she is. It might have been interesting to have another little scene that shows a different side of her, if only to round out her character a bit, since we have an interesting view of Draco--a longer piece from you about Draco and Astoria could be interesting? However, in a way, this view of Astoria certainly does live up to the title and the ending, so I suppose it is your call in the end. Good job on this, though! It was a delight to read.

I think Draco was very well done. I found him really likable, yet insanely believable as well, great job! This was a great oneshot!

I really liked this! Your characterization of Draco worked, if only because we're seeing a different side of him when he's with Astoria, but it's a side of him that's realistic considering what we saw of him in the books. The second scene was my favorite--it was a lovely snapshot of that point in their relationship.

I really liked this. In the beginning, she sort of reminded me of Luna, with how serene she was, and I think you did a great job with both her cahracter and Draco's. And bringing the scorpian in it was a nice touch. Your last few sentences were very powerful - nice job :)

IT was brilliant. Draco's transition from childhood to maturity, and Astoria's role as the catalyst and anchor as he changed, loved the motif of her sea-eyes... brilliant! Shall favorite!

This is absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad I stumbled across it. I love Draco here, and I love Astoria, too. The mystery seems to suit her, and the tattoo was an EXCELLENT touch -- it cracked me up to see Scorpius's name for the first time. You've made it make sense! Great job.

"and he thought he was probably as close to happiness as a Malfoy could ever get." THis line sort of grounds it, and keeps the whole thing from becoming to meladramatic... good bitter sweet tones.. and well written

Gosh, it's taken me awhile to come across this, but I love it! And the story behind Scorpius' name is just brilliant - excellent job!

Nice piece of an unknown character

Very cute story! I think you characterized Astoria and post-books Draco very well. Nice work!

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

I especially liked this line:

"Astoria smiled and Draco thought that perhaps saying that a single smile could lighten up a whole room wasn't just an image, after all."

The whole piece was very well-done, and your Draco was in-character. I like your Astoria-- cool and collected seems to suit Draco just fine. :)

I'm such a fan of the Draco/Astoria ship, and you've done it so nicely! Managed to create a character in a short piece and yet give her a sense of reality that I can see her existing beyond what you've written. Excellent work. :)

The Draco/Astoria pairing intrigues me a lot, and I think you did a nice job writing it. I don't really have a concrete idea or image in my head of what Astoria is like, but I liked your take on her. She seemed like a fitting wife for Draco and her appearance seemed right too.

I really, really liked your Draco, though. He can be so hard to write...especially "older Draco" who has to balance between being somewhat more mature but still not everyone's best pal. I liked that you kept him from being one for "roses and hugs" and how your Astoria seemed like the kind of person that would be okay with that kind of husband. So, yes, I think you kept Draco true to canon and I liked your Astoria too!
