Sigh. I really cannot explain the beauty of your words. One of the very OC's that I have ever liked. Wished that there was more.

Wow, great way to write a Muggle/Draco story. I, too, have seen (and been in) some of theses romances, when you're twenty and for the first time a long way from home - and this felt just so real.
I loved the ending, too. A happy end just wouldn't work, and I'd love to read some more romances that don't work out, for whatever reason, instead of pairing everyone up very young...
Great job!

So vivid! It was like I was watching a movie, a very good movie.

Brilliant. Utterly brilliant. (: Paints multiple vivid pictures. Terrifyingly dysfunctional but poetic nonetheless.

Wow this is really well done. The time you can put into it show. Interspersing the Muggle Studies stuff was really important to the tone. I've always wondered what exactly it was that death eaters thought about muggles that made them hate them so. It was interesting to so you explore that.

nice one! i love the flashbacks of the brave students in 'muggle studies' especially.

If anyone could pull off this cliche and spin it into gold, it's you. Loved how you wrote the OC and her relationship with Draco and the flashback to the Carrows was spot-on.

This is wonderful. The effort you put in to it was definitely time well-spent.

This was such a great story! I love how you took a common cliche and turned it into something good. That must have been rather tricky, so I applaude you for making it work as well as it did. Your characterization of Draco was very interesting, and I also really enjoyed learning more about your OC. She seemed like a cool, down-to-earth girl, and I liked her interaction with Draco. Adding the flashbacks from the "Muggle Studies" and having them correlate with the present events was a very nice touch. It's kind of a shame about the ending since my inner-romantic would have liked to see them work things out, but it WAS the most realistic way to go. She has her own life in America, and I doubt Draco (especially at this point in his life) could handle the drama such a relationship would cause. Anyway, thanks for writing this; it was a pleasure to read.

wow, so gd. i love it :)

Wow. Draco humanized to the point of romantic. Thanx

This was beautiful, amazing, and I have never felt so deeply for Malfoy before. Your wording is full of imagery. Well done.

I usually dislike OC's, especially when they play an important part, but I like yours. She's not just there as a love interest, her presence actually serves a purpose. I just noticed that we never learn her name (or did I somehow miss it?), and that just drives the point home. Draco is being exposed to muggles, and it is a bit of a brutal experience (for his heart), but it is so necessary for him.
The juxtaposition of the muggle studies class is perfect. I hope Draco learns from this experience.

And thank you for writing such a lovely American OFC. She acts and talks like an American girl. We DO talk too fast, and we say "like" and "um" way more than we should.

lovely

whoa. i cant even handle all this originality. no joke. it just blows my mind.
