am just taking the time to review your fic 'Primer to the Dark Arts'. I have really enjoyed the way you took the more absurd moment in JKR's work and turned them into an awkward, rather touching yet sexy treatment of young people exploring their sexuality. There is also he fascinating premise of Harry getting these lessons, and starting to empathise- slowly- with Snape. The pacing is slighlt quick for me- but then, I like alot of exposition- but it truely well done. I like the last chapter, ith Harry botching the magic that snape had him sumon. It is pitch perfect with what goes on these books- that sometimes, magic is quite unpredictable! One small thing- with Harry trying to hide his love from Ron, and yet allowing himself to be Ron's friend, even when he is experimenting with others- namely Hermione. Harry is a quiet sort, and introspective, but surely he would feel a bit conflicted at the thought of sharing his friend in such an intimate way? Well, that is all for now.
