Had a review, but lost it to the limitations of the cell phone internet. Just gonna say it was great chapter and leave it at that. My desire to read more over powers the urge to rewrite what I had earlier.

I dont think this chapter is mediocre! It seems like it was hard to write but i think you did it wonderfully. And you really do have a way with the quirky sentences might I add. Very well done!

Chapter 8
Uh, it’s me again. Being honest, I really hope you don’t mind all my blabbering into your review space. I know I can be really annoying, but I can’t stop myself from all this reasoning will I review a story I really like. Of course, feel free to tell me to stop at any time, if you think I’m annoying you with my all no-sense. And now, back to the chapter.
I don’t think I can agree with your dissatisfaction about this chapter. Yeah, as it happened in chapter 5, you’re trying to say too many things in a small space, but this time I think you achieve your goal quite well. Being honest, I had to read the chapter twice to get all the things you implied here (and I know I’m far away from actually grasp everything you put here), but I was quite satisfied by it at the end.
I still don’t understand the real reason of that Death Eater set up in the Slytherins’ common room, and what Pansy & co were looking for, cornering Draco like that. They should have known better than acting like that, but now they can’t back down.
Moreover, I start to see small cracks into Draco’s armour: Pierce is growing on him and it’s not a good thing. But I always knew that the only way to interest Draco is bluntness, and probably even the professor understood it. It’s still funny that a over-grown adult had such a hard time with a young boy, but at least it seems Pierce efforts are starting to work. But, the blond Slytherin is starting to look for Ginny to have some relief from all the stress. And it’s interesting to see that even her noticed it. But, instead of taking advantage, she simply revealed him the truth and left… maybe because she’s starting to feel her enemy’s pain and, being a Gryffindor, can’t really make her do something vicious about it.
What worries me now is how Draco will react to this, He’s not accustomed to accept people help, he can’t even accept he needs it!, and all this emotions thing can just screw him up more. And, in this confused state, he can’t really realize that it wasn’t normal AT ALL that someone could recognize a Death Eater set, without being actually one of them. How can’t he see that?
Or, better, he saw it, but he didn’t focused enough on the detail, confused by what happened next. But, still, something is really wrong with him, since so many people can start to figure out what he thinks and how he feels. Apart from Pansy that had known him from ages, it’s just weird that even Ginny was able to analyze him… and she did such a good job that Draco left out a temper tantrum when he was alone.
Only one thing: don’t fret things, you’ve done a great job till now and I think nobody will ever believe your Draco could be redeemed. Or that he could suddenly feel so at ease with a Weasley that he actually looks out for her. It’s not like Draco will ever freed by all that mind-games and plotting: this is his own nature and even he’s a bit tired like now, he can’t stop pretending that every people is up to something. Also because, most of time he’s right, you know.

*smiles serenely* I was aprehensive about beginning another story that didn't feature the characters from the other one to which I'd grown so attached, but you've effortlessly gotten me hooked on this one. I'm already sailing through the chapters and pouting that there aren't nearly enough to keep me busy =)

Not mediocre at all! I liked the Draco-Pierce conversation, and it's interesting the way Pierce keeps throwing new ideas at Draco all the time, and confusing him. As much as I worry about our boy, I love watching it happen.
Draco-Ginny interaction was, perhaps, a bit disappointing, because their relationship didn't seem to advance very much. OTOH, clearly Ginny is also putting new thoughts into his head, which is remarkable. I only hope she doesn't encourage him to confide in Pierce!!
Please update soon!
PS--It's always fun watching Draco obsess over Ginny, especially when she's unaware. So, yeah. That was...fun. (deep, I know)

Don't say that about your work HC. I found this chapter very insightful and not at all mediocre, especially in regards to Draco. It's sad that he has no one that he can trust and who truly a *friend* to him, and right now that is what he neeeds, even if it's just someone he can vent to without the pressures of being on guard or thinking that they'll use what he'll say against him. I must reiterate that I adore Pierce, this man is that snake from the Garden Of Eden, saying things that the person wants to hear but has an underlying motive for the person's downfall, I love him to bits.
Ginerva does have a vicious tongue, but she has too. Especially around him and what's he's done, I adore that she's very insightful and is able to say things to Draco that unnerves him like Pierce but in a different way. TFP, I enjoyed this chapter, and I look forward to your next update.

It wasn't at all mediocre, don't worry. The Slytherins are all so funny - though not exactly in a laugh out loud kind of way. They remind me of the other houses in some way, except they like to play at being Death Eaters - whether they've got the Mark or not, none of them has experienced what it really takes to be a thorough Death Eater.
And I felt so bad for Draco at the end of this. He really does seem lonely...ah, poor him!

Gah I love this story! I think one of the best things is the characters. Firsly, I love Pierce, becuause he's such a comple and interesting character. Secondly, I feel like you understand Draco's character really well, what with him detaching himself from people/emotions, and all that he said in the last chapter about using people and constantly being on his guard about what other people want. And then at the end of this chapter, with him feeling so lonely because he feels he doesn't need anyone... it's very in character. It gives him depth without making him warm and fuzzy. Can't wait for the next update!

I liked how you showed Draco's confusion in this chapter. And the failed intervention ("It's not an intervention!") made me giggle. Thanks for the update!
