Ah, seeing this in my inbox put the biggest smile on my face, and then you start it off with snarky!Draco, one of my favourites...and he's insulting Harry's intelligence too. love!

"Your reply by return would be just peachy" I was choking on my breakfast when I read the first part of this fic, so damn funny!

Draco has gotten himself a mother hen for a secretary...and of course he puts his coat on...and his gloves..haha

"He is not highly strung." No, of course you're not dear, not at all. You're just...dignifiedly tense?

I'm happy I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read "his lack of straight", I would have choked to death...and then Janice's reaction when she found out.

Harry adopted Mrs Norris? OMG! I totally called that the first time Hermione mentioned Mrs N! I feel so smart ;P

I still love your "bad guys", they bring so much exasperated fun to everything.

The Cupboard makes a cameo appearance! LOVE! and the crup! don't think I didn't notice ;)

and of course Draco is totally smug about understanding the cupboard when Hermione doesn't.

Maudlin is my favorite word in English, just saying.

Harry's confession made my chest hurt. I love how you portray the little bubbles of intimacy they find themselves in from time to time, it's so easy to tell that something big and great is in the works.

You really have me questioning if I'll ever like reading an established H/D relationship again (a part from your Foundations!verse, which I'm going to re-read and review next. LOL) I don't really have the words to say how much I love the slow build/getting on each other's nerves/getting to know each other/starting traditions together/having heated snogging sessions. and the fact that a lost of it primarily involves coffee is just a bonus.

"Cool on the outside, racing and crackling on the inside, as is the Malfoy way."

This is such an amazing description of Draco's character, I'm just...wow

Harry's comment about Draco knows about fixing cabinet's felt like a slap in the face (Yes, I get terribly invested when I read, haha) It made total sense for him to be saying something like that in that moment, but it still killed me a little :(

Love the distinction Draco makes between "Potter" and "Harry", that's a really interesting touch!

“Did you kill that for me?” he asks, strangely touched. “I’m feeling a bit delicate right now, why don’t you eat it?”

I never thought the day would come when I like (love) Mrs Norris, but that was ADORABLE! (I don't know how many times I've put my cat down in front of a spider in my room and demanded that she eat it, haha)

and Harry went outside because Draco's it and that's adorable and aw and then there's hawt staircase almost kind of sex and coffee and yay.

(figured I'd finish off with a one breath rant, so that you'll recognize me, haha)

and thank you so much for the shout-out. having such an amazing, epic one-shot dedicated to me completely made my day ;)

Wow! This was just wonderful.

I'm touched by this story and I think I'll keep it with me for a long time. I laughed and even cried a little.

Thank you so much for posting.

... That was really really long... You should have made it into chapters. :)

i really did enjoy this.

It is very very very long,

but it was worth it.

keep writing.

Gosh, I haven't read any fic in ages. But I saw this and omg it's brilliant. You play with my emotions like nobody's business and you do it through fantastic writing.

Thank-you.

I adore this story! You did such a wonderful job with it. I love the length and the amount of thought and care you put into this. It's sweet and just plain awesome! I wish more Drarry stories were like this. Brava! .

I'm glad that Draco decided to be stubborn and continue to visit Harry. They both would have missed out on the wonderful opportunity that is their relationship. I also really enjoyed Mrs. Norris' role in the story and the cabinet's as well.

Great story!

Wow, just wow. Amazing story!

I so wish I could read this at any point in the next 24 hours but I am in the middle of a Harry Potter movie marathon which won't finish until 2am. Still movies 5 & 6 to go. And then I have friends visiting all day tomorrow and then I also have a thing in the evening. :( Which means I'll probably be reading this story at work on Monday. And the dissapointment I am feeling because I can't read this right now is immense. And I apologise for any typos in this. I checked my email from my phone and am also typing this from my phone as well. I now have the (likely unbearable) anticipation of reading this whenever I can fit it in! I am so looking forward to it.

yay!

that was great!

it took me like 2 hours to read it, but it was so worth it

good luck!
