    I've already told you what I think, Jonny Boy, so no need to point out what I dont like and did like again. Good work.

    Very good. I liked the personality Luna had. Daphne was pretty good as well.

    4/5 now, reserve right to change later

    I liked it. Only part I didn't like was Harry leaving Daphne when Ron and Hermione came in. 4/5

    I agree, but that little plot action did its job: it left us the readers wanting more.

    I like this 'naive princess' Daphne. I can't wait for more. 5/5

    I didn't understand why a SLytherin is so trusting considering the resembalances between herself and Malfoy Jr.

    Some people were having problems with getting onto ff.net, so don't worry about it, and since i realise I sounded vague in my last post, i'll explain.

    What made Draco dislike Harry? That's all you need to ask yourself.

    Harry turned down his friendship. And because Harry Potter is a bigger name than his own. ;)

    Yeah, I couldnt get on FFN either. It was just being a slut. Now its cool.

    An interesting start, I must say. Characterizations are probably the best part so far, but to be honest - there's not enough to give a real review. At this point, it's written well, and has some intriguing plot ideas, but that's about all I can say so far. Logically follows? Sure. Good writing structure. Yeah. Okay, so the real review I have is positive - as I am quite curious to read what comes next. When that happens, I'll throw out a more complete review.

    Tentative rating: 4/5

    You and your stories are made of win and good, therefore I do not want to even bother with that bet as I know that you can surpase it in less than 24 hours.

    I like it so far. Characters seem pretty spot on, and no visable bashing (Unless I missed something). The plot seems like it could go somewhere, so long as you don't start forcing it to go faster.

    Will edit the review as more becomes available.

    4/5 ATM

    Hm. Jon, you forgot to put 'Suggested DLP Catagory' in your post. I need to know where to place it.

    nice chapters, the writing seemed even better than the last chapter.

    Only one error that I noticed.Its in the fanfiction review, as most of my other comments.

    4/5, because some of the dialogue seemed a little wierd in the first chapter.

    My review from ff.net:

    I forgot to say a few things on there though.

    1. Sectumsempra is one word, not two ("Sectum Sempra")

    2. I loved the little bit with Dudley at the end of chapter 2, that kind of stuff makes or breaks a fic.

    3. Daphne is by far the best character in this...make sure to have loads more of her (as I'm sure you will).

    I liked the latest chapter, Jonny, I thought it was pretty damn good. I'll give it a 4/5, and I'll echo Taure's words: MORE DAPHNE, MOFO! :p
