I absolutely loved this. Everything about it. The plot, characterizations, writing style, the magic...oh, the magic. So very...magical. Ah, look at that. You've keft me incapable of articulating coherent sentences...

This made me snort with laughter: "Is this some tripe about the power of love?" Draco asks. "Because, if so, I feel my happy memories dissolving rapidly."

I might have a pretty good guess as to who wrote this. Maybe.

Thank you so very much. Your comment made me very happy. Goodness, I am thrilled that you liked all of the aspects you mention. And the magic. And that silly line! Thank you.

A wonderful story! Hogwarts! Mystery! Rimming! I adored Pansy-going-Filch, and the mirror was lovely. Thanks for writing this!

Thank you so much! LOL--Hogwarts, mystery, rimming isn't a series of words you read often, or maybe it is. :) I'm so glad you liked Pansy. Not sure that would work, but I liked the idea, so I'm thrilled you did as well. Thank you!!

The was lovely - plotty and hot and sweet. I really really liked the way you managed to describe the complex feeling of panic and trauma without just saying it but describing how it felt. Well done.

And the mirror. Oh my god, the mirror has just entered to my list of favorite side characters.

I also have a good guess about who is the writter - lets see if I am right. :)

Thank you for sharing this with us -

Thank you! I am really glad you enjoyed and so pleased that you liked the description of trauma. That means a lot. I figure we know Draco (and Harry) must have remnants of that trauma and I had to show it for it to work. Yay that you liked the mirror!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. :)

I really enjoyed reading this!! What is it about those DADA professors, huh? Very canon-esque!! *g*

I loved Draco's patronus, too! And Harry's obvious jealousy. Very nicely done!

Thank you very much!! LOL, the DADA professors have issues--until Draco. :) Thank you so much, oh, and I'm really glad you liked Draco's patronus. I agonized over that a bit. Thank you!!

Hot and cold, Harry and Draco, mystery and spells, what else do you need for a most exciting and thrilling mystery. Enjoyed this very much.

This was such a nice read! I really loved the on-going fire&ice theme, and I loved Draco being a little of a coward and making things difficult between him and Harry, but not being a coward at all to save the children.

I also liked this ominous feeling with the children's disappearances, it was really creepy.

And Harry through Draco's eyes? Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you liked the fire and ice theme. That was the first, vague concept I had for this, and I spent the rest of my time working out how to have those themes interact. I'm really glad you liked Draco's character. I wanted him a little complex--not a flat out hero every minute, but in the right place when it counted. So, thank you, thank you!!
