This just popped up in a random search. Bloody brilliant !!
This story was recommended by an author on another site and, intrigued, I searched for it. You've reached deep into Draco's mind, uncovering layers of thoughts he carefully keeps tamped into place. Great job.
I must say that this is one of the most believable Draco's I have read. There is always an implied weakness of character to him that you have covered so well. Draco's emotional outbursts are always something that is counter-Malfoy to me and often makes him distastful and petty. This character study makes them sort of forgivable.
FANTASTIC. One of the best representations of Draco, or perhaps what I want Draco to be, I've read. Keep up the good work!
No, I can't imagine Lucius in the throes of lust either. It would probably mess up his perfect hair... I love Draco's voice in this. The idea that some (very small) part still believes in myths and heroes and so responds to Potter (happily without any intimations of slash) is fascinating. Thanks very much.
Oh.. This was.. good. Oh my.. I'm speechless.
I don't pity you but I must say your story tuches me.You remind me of severus when he was young(prof.Snape)
Impressing. A wonderful, convincing charakter-study -- I feel ever so slightly... "enlightned" for reading. Your formulation is flawless, running like structured thoughts would and all the more real for it. You perfectly convey a sort of... glacial supression of feelings that your Draco seems to strive for... and the short glimpses into emotion that betray him are only all the more painful for it. Like sparks in ice -- I can't claim to be unaffected. Thanks for making reading FF worthwhile.
Bravi. Interesting perspective.
That was one of the best Draco Malfoy insight stories I have ever read!!!
THIS WAS BORING SORRY BUT IT WAS
Amazingly well done. i have had similar thoughts as to the character of Draco. I agree with most if not all of the insights written here.
wow, nice story, i was like, referred here by a nice chap @ fanfiction.net, who sed ur fic was GREAT!! and im glad to say, it CERTAINLY WAS!!! congrats, u really gave an interesting insight into the mind of Draco Malfoy ::grins:: i love it, i love it all!!! thankyou :D
Excellent. You are such an incredible writer, I swoon over your work.
How utterly, heartbreakingly sad. A small glimpse into the frozen child's life; full of nothing but broken dreams and familial obligations sharpened in the what it means to be Malfoy edge. Even if he wanted to be other than he is, it would be nearly impossible, because he has been carefully bred to this point. I've got to say I have loved everything you've written so far.
You know how much I love this story! I am very happy to see it uploaded here.
Happy New Year,

I loved it! I have read the Prince and it did have a very similar feel to it. I enjoyed reading it and i can definately see Malfoy writing something like that! You've got a great Draco Muse... :)
I really liked this.
Excellent! This is how I see the young Malfoy. Unable to connect emotionally, socially, even sexually. Wonderful piece!
Very lovely ratiocination on Draco's part. such self-knowledge and such self-delusion.
Wow! That was really well done. Some of those things I'd never really thought about before (through the eyes of Draco, I mean), and some of it matched directly with what I've always thought of him. Thank you for writing this!
This was very well written and insightful. Draco is actually human after all! I really enjoyed it.
What a marvellous little one-shot. Very to-the-point, and wonderful to read out loud.
