I have to say I fell in love with this story from the beginning. It's just that the note in which it started set the whole thing wonderfully. This last train ride was so meaningful, that silent pondering alone, thinking back on those things that marked him, changed him, even, that moment with Neville, even from then I could see how far Draco had came even if back then I didn't see or know how much further he still had to go.

And it was amazing, to see Draco grow, become someone who isn't afraid, someone who is proud to be, to love and be loved, and you know, seeing Harry through his eyes was falling in love with him, with all of them, their little family. Oh my gosh, you had me at the house full of Slytherins knowing about the broom and killed me with, "Well, your family has chosen you back."

I admit I'm all teary in the best of ways. This was brilliant and will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for the ride. <3

I love your reviews. You are so good at them - despite being ill at the time! The first scene was written for a while before the rest of the story got off the ground. I wanted this to be. Draco's coming home fic, so it had to start with him leaving one section of his life and physically "coming home". Neville was a bit of a happy accident - he just turned up in the scene and I liked him! Thank you so much for reccing this story too - it made me really happy!
