Wow. Great story. Normally, I like to offer constructive criticism to authors, but I don't think I can here. I loved your use of the candle and darkness.

I'm usually not a Dramione person at all (preferring Ronmione), but your story seems a bit more realistic than others. Everybody likes to go either the "Draco turns good" or the scornful relationship route, but in your story, I really like that they kept everything secret. I have doubts that Hermione would accept that Draco is a Death Eater, but I can see Hermione eventually accepting him for the reasons he gave.

Overall, beautiful story. Did you say this was your first one?

Author's Response: Thank you!!! I appreciate your compliments so much!! I too am more partial to the more realistic storylines, so I tried to write my story in that manner. And yes, this is my first story. Lately I've been working on multiple storylines, so hopefully this won't be my only story for too long.

now, r u planning 2 do a sequel? 8D
whoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! 8P

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! The story was supposed to have a sad element, after all, am a hopless romantic!!! But if Voldemort didn't exist, then Harry would not have become the famous wizad that he is, and the JKR would have no plot to write the HP series, and then, we wouldn't be here writing fan fics!! :] Now for a sequel? I haven't thought about it....maybe sometime in the future! ~Rae

Author's Response: Yay; thanks!! I actually got the concept from a song, and it was originally supposed to be a song fic, but I like the way it turned out, too!

very nice story, very realistic (in the HP sense!).
I like that you didnt make Draco mushy, but real... and the imagery was great. well done!

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I know I'm starting to respond to reviews so late, so I'm sorry if you were looking for a response earlier! Anyways, I do love to write really imagery-detailed stories! Thankies for reviewing!! ~Rae
