i like draco in these articles. he sounds very grown-up and like he's come to terms with his past. i'm looking forward to reading about how fell for harry :)

Thanks. It's fun writing from his point of view. There are still a few more to go before we get to his and Harry's relationship, but it's coming.

And there will be way more on that in December, when we showcase them as a couple. ♥

i don't think i've ever gotten first comment cookies :D

save the best for last, huh? either way, it'll be nice to hear about how they fell in love.

I hope you like chocolate chip. :D

Mel was the one to come up with the schedule, so I blame her for leaving them to the end. But of course I'll put a few comments in both Draco's and Harry's series.

i love chocolate chip!

i think witch weekly's readers would be sorely disappointed if there was an article series on draco and there was no discussion of his relationship with harry ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. No worries - I have no intention of disappointing WW readers. ;)

Oh my god!
What a way to end it!
Hate for Harry...? *shivers*

I'm dying here!

*bites nails*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Well, he did hate Harry then, didn't he? In his mind, Harry was the cause of everything bad that had happened to Lucius.

Breathe ... next one will be posted before I head to bed tonight. ;)

*scowls* - stop biting your nails!

I don't know if any one else if having this problem, but the articles are really very hard for me to read. The print is so small i can't even read this one. The last two made my head hurt. Is there somewhere else i can read the where they are in regular text format?

enchanted_jae said she had the same problem, but it may now be resolved.

You have to click the link, which takes you to the scrapbook image. Click it again which opens in a viewer. Click it a third time to zoom in, and you should be able to read it. A pain, but alas is the way I have to read it when using the images.

If it's still a problem, I can eventually post a summary with links to all of the articles in text format instead. It'll take some work (because I don't use html coding for PhotoShop), so I won't be able to get to it until all my fest fics are done. I'll do it for all of them if need be (Ron's as well).

Let me know if above works, because I suspect that's what everyone else is doing and I know Alaana likes larger text, and she hasn't complained.

[slasher-hd.livejournal.com]

It worked.

Thanks!

These are very good btw.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Whew! Someone else had the same problem after you, and it worked for her too. Yay!

I'm glad you're enjoying them. You know they started with Ron Weasley (http://sesheta-66.livejournal.com/tag/wizard+of+the+month+rw) in January, right? Just in case you're interested in those ones too.

I think it's really interesting how open, and matter-of-fact Draco is about his mishaps like the inquisitorial squad and Dolores Umbridge. Oh, and I really that he calls Harry by his first name. Came a long way these two, didn't they? <3

*g* Well, there's no point denying what happened at school, plus from his point of view, he didn't do anything particularly evil - he just did what the Headmistress had wanted, looked after himself, and got to get back at Potter and the gang in the process.

He and Harry are a couple now, so when he's talking about him, he refers to him as 'Harry' unless he's relating an incident in which he's immersed in the memory of it, when he ends up referring to him as 'Potter' - I tried to do it consciously, so his use of 'Potter' carries some emotion from the time. :)
