Oh, you're so sweet, Rose! I'm sorry I made you stay up too late, but I know I've done it myself when I start reading something long.

I think I've learned a lot since writing my first fics, and I'm glad you think the stories are getting better. I had some great times writing this one (well, and some frustrations, too, I have to admit).

That rascal Daniel wanted to take over the whole story. He made such an interesting diversion for Draco to tell his woes to. I wanted to make sure all us H/D lovers didn't end up hating him after he put the moves on Draco, but he's a sensible boy and knows true love when he sees it, right? So we've forgiven him. I think he'll get something going with Tommie from the Flame. He deserves someone of his very own.

Thank you so much for all your comments.
