Oh... *cries* you are much too sweet, m'dear. You make me float on wonderful words...

It's like at any moment it could wash away but that makes every moment they do have imbued with passion, sometimes even too much passion so that it becomes painful and tense.

YES. I agree. It's such a fragile thing, and there is constantly that choice they both make to stay together, in all H/D relationship fics. They could both have others, but they choose to be with each other and all the pain that might give them.

You've really created him, and molded him into a wonderfully three-dimensional character. (I really liked the parallels you drew between him and Bellatrix, too.)

I'm so happy you think so! I love Blaise. I think he will be big in the next two books.

Harry's magic can be as strong or stronger than any physical pain Blaise, or any other character, for that matter, can inflict.

Yes. Harry is stronger than he thinks in this respect, and holds more keys to locked doors than he realizes. For Draco here at least, he is everything. Draco will cease to be who he has become if he does not have Harry.

*kiss* I love your reviews. Thanks for liking my work so much.
