Warning(s): Major Character Death


This story is heart-breaking beautiful. It's without doubt one of the best Character Death story I've ever read.

The author wrote perfectly the devastating pain that is to lose the most important person in your life, and I have no words to describe how beautiful and painful it is this journey, seeing their relationship begin, bloom and end in this tragic way, everything Harry went through until he's trying for the first time to find solace after his loss. It's amazing and painful and beautiful.

I just finished it. And I'm ruined. How could such a perfect Draco be dead? It KILLS me.

*sobs* I know. When Harry saw the shadow, it almost died. I mean, I knew he was dead, but man, I FELT it, you know? That tiny hope and then it being crushed. God, this fic. ^^

It's really not fair. I didn't cry, but I am STILL upset about it today.

You didn't cry? Omg, you have stone cold heart. lol

It'll be a while, trust me. I had to find some of my comfort read for a day or two afterwards. *nods* Not right away though, I was a mess after I finished it.

I'm totally torn up over it, but I think I'm too stressed to cry, lol. And also, I kept looking at other things in between scenes so I wouldn't be completely heartbroken. I wouldn't be able to stand it. I can't even imagine what I would do if I loved someone like that and then they died. Omg, poor Harry.

I, too, had to stop a couple of times because I knew I was going to wail id I didn't. It seems such an impossible thing to do, for Harry, to live, survive such a loss.
