Wow, the hope so part really got me. Draco shows hope for their future after the war it shows a soft side to Draco. You are doing such a great job, keep it up :)
I found this chapter adorable, because it seems like both Elizabeth and Draco are slowly taking their forced relationship to the next level. Even though they haven't been together that long, and their marriage is closer than they both would have liked, they are still gradually forming a close, intimate relationship.
As loverboy bellow pointed out, you have managed to portray Draco's personality, and also have shone a softer side to him that might not be expected outside of his hard exterior. You have shone another side to him, a side that not many people see. I found you showed that side of him more so in this recent chapter than any of the previous ones.
I'm really excited to see how you will create their relationship, especially once they are married.
I absolutely love this story! the suspense of every chapter keeps me coming back for more... keep up the good work! and like the person before me, draco's comment about how he knew what she ment made me all giddy!
“—I know what you meant, Elizabeth,” he interrupts, voice not hard or curt. “I really do want to love you someday.”
DRACO, YOU SWEET, SWEET BOY. THAT LINE MADE ME SMILE SO MUCH. I'M FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE. Seriously, it was my favorite from the chapter.
Anyway, this story is so amazing. Harry Potter fanfiction is my guilty pleasure, and though I've always loved stories about Draco, I can never seem to find any good ones. But this one... it's so beautiful and well written. You've successfully managed to portray Draco and his personality, but you've also given him a soft side that's completely believable.
Like the previous comment said, I also tend to stray away from arranged marriage stories just because the ones I've encountered aren't too great. However, this one trumps them all.
You're a fantastic writer. I hope you'll update soon!
I have such a soft spot for Harry Potter fanfiction, and even though Draco is not one of my favorite characters from the series, I am happy I found this little gem.
I actually started this story the other night and I just finished what you have posted. I have to say that you have me completely hooked. Although I tend to avoid arrange marriage stories, whether they be fanfiction or original fiction, you've made this story completely shine. It is different from other arranged marriage stories that I've read over the years. I also like how you haven't made Draco and Elizabeth fall completely in love with each other right after they met, because that tends to happen a lot in these types of stories.
I'm looking forward to what the coming chapters will bring.
I love love love this, darling. Seriously, you had to work really hard at this because it is flawless. I love all the detail and descriptions. Please please update?
I must say that I am a big Harry Potter fan and just started to re-read the books. This was perfect in all ways shape and form. I adored this with all my heart. Jus the way you write it flows so very well it's...magnificent really.
I love your story :] I had commented on it before the server crash thing but those got deleted :[ Anyways, I hope you update soon! I love this story so much! >.<
Being completely honest I wasn't expecting to like your story. I kind of stay away from this type of story but it was the one that stood out from the rest and I'm a huge HP fan so I decided to give it a try. I love the way you describe the settings, I could trully picture everything exactly. Then, the storyline itselstands out, its not cliche and predictable. I think you've been able to insert this character well into the HP world, like that's exactly what would happen if a muggle would be involved in something like that. Finally, i have to say I haven't completly understood why are they getting married. I don't know if I missed it or if its intentional to keep readers guessing but I'm definitely hooked and looking forward for the next chapter :)
The story layout, I must say, is absolutely stunning. The banner image, and the background around it, match very well and give a very pure and gentle look to the layout, tha pops against the dark rose-looking background. It's so pretty!! <3
Anyway, as for the summary, I love the idea of this story, though I'm not a Harry Potter fan (never read the books or seen passed Goblet of Fire from the movies) because of how you described the girl: an adventurous-gone-"lady" type of girl. I'm trying to figure out - is this an arranged marriage? It sounds like that from the description but I might be wrong xD
No matter, I think the summary was well written and gives the reader a little taste of what's to come. and the layout with it just adds the cherries on top (: awesome job
Layout is really pretty, it goes along with the story in a way.
The summary was kind of long but it didn't give anything way, which I really like. It was enough to draw me in and leave me hanging.
I only read chapter one but I already like it. I'm not much of a Draco fan and dont really read stories with him in it, but this one is different and Im really glad I read it. The detials are really good, you can almost feel the mood in the story. Its ashame how some families do this. I love how you used the line in the summary at the end.
