Thankyou! It was the most annoying scene to write in the history of the universe, so I'm glad you liked it. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out but it's always good to hear from someone else.

THANKYOU FOR NOTICING THAT! Yes, that was TOTALLY deliberate. There's a lot more to Draco's story in this than one would expect, and it is affecting his judgement somewhat. Also the whole lifemate thing is twisting his braaaaaains.

((braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains))

(P.S. Glad to see you sorted out your icons! pink=love!)
