I was not thrilled to see that Lucius was released, I prefer when he is in Azkaban as long as possible. Also, I was a bit surprised that Draco was quite happy to see him. Lucius caused his family a lot of pain, so If I was Draco, I am not sure I would talk to him again.
And I have a bad feeling about that box Harry had, I think somehow it will make Draco's life harder.
Also, I don't understand why Harry suddenly invited him, but I don't understand more why Draco agreed.
But I wonder what Draco's secret is.

Took me two days, but I finally finished your beautiful story and I loved it. Even if I would have expected you to develop a bit more Blaise and Draco's friendship. Still, I loved your story - if I was a native speaker I'm pretty sure I would have read it in one time, but my brain got a bit tired haha. Anyways, I really like Hermione and Draco's relationship, and Draco's parents. I also love the fact that he has a cute little sister. And the plot was great! If you wrote any more stories, be sure I'll read them soon! x

It took me three days to read this one. I enjoyed it very much. As I read I wished that I could have a chippy. Wouldn't that make motherhood easier! My only feedback would be that this story coul be half the length and be even better. I hope when things calm down for you you might get back to writing. But that wish is purely selfish on my part.

Lovely romantic story! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry.. I have to stop reading now.. I love to read this story..believe me.. I'd loved to..but the long sentences and paragraphs really drive me nuts.. I prefer reading passive sentences with more character interactions but I think this story is great with all the lovely reviews and follows.. :) Keep up and keep writing.. :)

I just re-read this story, and I can't believe I had forgotten how amazing it is. You portrayed the characters superbly, ecspecially Lucius. Many stories don't quite know how to show him - either he's a heartless villan or he's too soft. And also that characteristic of Hermione's, where if she feels out of her element, she starts panicking and looks for an exit - it wasn't stated in the books themselves, but I think that was an important part of her character. And lastly, the last time I read this, I didn't quite know what the title meant, but since then I have understood it's meaning, and I have to say, it is immensely approriate and I was quite impressed at how you came up with such a relevent title. Thank you again for this brilliant story, and I hope you write more! :)

That was a really good story. a little OOC for my taste, but good nonetheless.

I loved it!

Wow. I read 'We Learned the Sea' way back in 2007 and a few times since then and I've always loved it. In 'Heavy Lies the Crown' I can really see how much you've matured as a writer. This is so well written, the dialogue natural and the characterisations are brilliant. Well done, this is definitely one of my favourite Dramiones now. Thank you for sharing it with us.

this is so so good!

Argh Lucius such a bastard !

Omg it's Bellatrix! Or Rabastan? (Not my namesake, that's just a fake word stolen from latin bred with french.)
I've been wondering if you'd introduce a new person, and/or what happened to her in this particular alternate universe. Though, given that Fred's gone, I assume it is more or less DH compliant...?

BLAAAIIIISSEEEE

C'est Blaise, oui oui, bien suuurr

Or not, who knows, I'm too sleep deprived and still have an opera matinee to attend in a few hours without fallling asleep, dammit

Amazing chapter per usual

So much IRL sophistication for a story... Rare and appreciated! :) You perfectly capture the eerie sensation of being in a box for a sporting match-how uncanny and TV-like it all is.

Oh, and your reference to BNP Paribas a few chapters ago was priceless. Sketchy-sketchy indeed, especially the atms; I never could believe how it was that they had a partnership with Bank of America.

I'm surprised Caleb is the frontrunner. He is a definite possibility, I guess, particularly with how he remarked on Hermione, his intimacy with inner workings of Malfoy Inc... but I rather think you're playing him as a red herring. Anyway.

Bet you anything the perpetrator has serious familiarity with Muggles-may be halfblood themselves. Jean Valjean-! Perhaps someone who was imprisoned for too long... Nott's dad? Lucius? Endless possibilities.

Oh, so exciting!
