Date: 2013-03-26 05:13 am (UTC)Also- I really like you're style of writing and the way you word things. This is basically just a list of lines that I really liked:
"He had been the shining star the week they reviewed Occlumency—Thank you, Auntie Bella, you old cow" I love that Draco would refer to her as an old cow :D
"With two minutes to spare, Draco finished his final sentence in scrawl that would make his childhood tutors cry." LOVE THIS.
"Two war heroes and a Death Eater. It sounded like the title of a play or the beginning of a joke. It felt like a joke." :(
"Draco might—not that he was admitting to anything—have cast a Crotch-Crushing Hex on Macmillan after the pompous arse implied that Umbridge had been pegging Draco in fifth-year."EWW hahaha
Also-I love the idea of a Slowing Spell.
So, in other words, I really enjoyed your fic !! Kristen

Date: 2013-04-01 01:15 pm (UTC)This was pure delight to devour! By the time I reached the end I was all warm and melty and so happy I could burst! I love the way you've decided to go with this story! Naturally, with Legally Blond and Reese Witherspoon being the epitome of cuteness as far as rom coms go, the easy (and natural) way to go would be to give our darling Draco a complete makeover and transform him into the fluffiest blondie ever. But, no. You went a completely different and original way with this! You've kept to the main Legally Blonde plot but you've made it so canon, so fitting into HP universe and at the same time with such original twists to the plot that it became its own story! I love it!
I love that you made Draco such a flamboyant darling, but at the same time, quiet and resilient and stubborn and still so messed up by the war and its aftermath. I love the way you let us witness how Draco gradually but surely blossomed into his own person and how despite his insecurities, he pulled through with Harry's help. Your Harry was amazing too! I love that he was shy and often flustered around Draco but strong and confident as an Auror. I love how you've made it obvious but in a subtle way how smitten Harry was with Draco. I love that we could all see Harry's feelings before Draco did! ♥
P.S. Aww! Thank you for the sweet note ♥ *hugs you tight, Mystery Author* I absolutely ♥ this lovely fic!!

Date: 2013-04-10 03:58 pm (UTC)I liked how Draco slowly started to gather friends and allies through his dogged determination (such a far cry from why he had joined the Aurors in the first place), and I loved Harry's open admiration and attraction towards him. My favourite parts of the fic is when Draco makes Susan Bones a good friend, and the highlight of the Auror raid at the end <3 Wouldn't have minded reading the entire year of courtship either ;) Loved this fic

Date: 2013-05-12 03:41 pm (UTC)I love how you focused on Draco the character first and not on the love story between Harry and Draco - you showed how Draco had to grow up first before opening himself up to love.
I also adored the how you made parallels between Draco's ex and Harry, with the former underestimating and patronizing Draco and the latter allowing Draco to take risks and respecting him as a person. And poor Harry! Even though he doesn't get as much screen time here, he is still in-character for me. I loved the fact that he allowed Draco to face his challenges alone; only standing up for him when the situation was hopeless.
Thank you so much for this story!
