I remain so, so grateful for your commentary; you really did help me polish up some awkward sentences and ambiguous/not-quite-in-character moments, the one in Draco's kitchen, especially, comes to mind. You were spot on throughout. I hope I can call on you again as a beta!!

I love Ron, too, and since I sortof 'was' Draco, it was fun to play in that realm of push and pull of atraction and not wanting to get too involved. But he can't resist. I sure couldn't!

Many thanks for your assistance, and for rereading.
