Review of chapter "A Little Friendly Teasing" from CadyNicole
Review:
Wow! I was just browsing through the site tonight, and happened to come across the Covenant section, which I've never noticed before. I'm suprised I haven't, because I'm a huge Covenant fan, and writer, and I have to say that I picked a wonderful story to read from the section.

Seriously, your story was amazing. Well thought out, well described, and very plausible. Draco and Tyler are just too cute, and Caleb and Reid are definately my favorite couple, ever, in the Covenant section. I hope that this story isn't discontinued, and I will be anxiously waiting for the next chapter!!

Thank you SO much! I'm really glad you loved it! Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I can't stop grinning! *grins*

I totally agree, Reid and Caleb are a great couple and Drake and Tyler really are so cute!

This definitely isn't discontinued; I'm planning on working on it here in the next couple of weeks...I think, lol! I have a schedule of what I'm planning to work on over the next 2 months or so and I think this one is sometime in the next few weeks. I already know what I want to happen in the next couple of chapters, so this one will definitely get updated when it's week comes up.

Again, I'm glad you like it and thank you so much for the wonderful review!

Review of chapter "Meeting The Sons And Drake Garwin" from (2007%20Donor)Aomizuoko
Review:
You've americanized Draco too much, he hasn't had much contact with Mericans so he wouldn't lose the way he talks so fast. And Tyler's really shy, *pout* You made him un-shy.
Comments from author:
Yeah, I'm horrible at writing Brit-speak so the HP normaly end up sounding more American than they should, its just something I can't really help very much, I'm American and its the way I talk and think, so its how it ends up getting written. I try not to Amercanize them too much, but I don't really have a lot of luck with it.

I don't really think I made Baby Boy all that un-shy...He only said like three things in the whole chapter.

I hope that my Amercanized Draco doesn't keep you from continuing to read. I'd love to see what you think of later chapters...

Review of chapter "Waking In Ipswich" from (2007%20Donor)Aomizuoko
Review:
Well, you've got Reid down right. Though I generally give him an alchoholic mother, but that's just my taste.

And you know, Reid being magical already might explain why he's more addicted than his other brothers. Wonder how Draco'll react to the muggle friends? Probably badly. You know, his usual self. Plus, Caleb is a bit like Harry in lotsa ways, except, you know, without that pesky prophecy hanging in his head.
Comments from author:
WooHoo! I'm glad you think I got Reid down right! I was so worried about that!

No bad reactions, but a big part of it is that I think Draco is more than capable of playing a part and wearing a mask. That the Draco we see in the books isn't all there is to him, that he could be playing the part of the Junior Death Eater, but doesn't actually really believe in it. Plus, Caleb, Tyler, Pogue and Reid aren't exactly your typical Muggles, they're still magical, its just a different type of magic.

Thanks for the review!

Review of chapter "Refusal And Running" from (2007%20Donor)Aomizuoko
Review:
I like it so far. You've got a good voice, and seem to be sticking pretty much to canon. Its hard to tell in the first chapter, lol. Anyway my only thing is-- Draco's British, he'd probably say Ares instead of Ass. Sorry. I'm picky with Draco's characterization. With him, it's easy to stray from Canon and easily accepted. Theres Canon Draco and Fanon Draco. My guess is your going to use Fanon Draco, from what I've seen. Which is all well and good, since, well it *is* still Draco, just a different version. :) Over all, so far I say good work!

But I also thought of another thing.
Isn't Reid technically a muggle? If so, wouldn't Draco be a bit...iffy going to him? Just because he doesn't want to be somebody's slave, doesn't mean he's going to just let go of his prejudges. Just a little thing to think about, and it's probably too late, considering you've got fifteen chapters up but whatever. XD
Comments from author:
I'm glad you like my voice!

I've had the ass/arse thing pointed out once, and I'm going to change it, but my internet kicked off on me before I could do it last time and I haven't had a chance since...But it will be fixed soon, I promise!

I'm planning on writing a short prequel to this about how Reid and Draco originally met, but I don't really have the time right now. It'll show a little bit of why Draco would go to Ipswich. I hope to eventually get around to writing it, but it probably won't be anytime real soon...

Thanks for reviewing!

Review of chapter "A Little Friendly Teasing" from dixid
Review:
I'm loving the story. I've recc'd it on my LJ, hope that's okay. I love the plausibility of your crossover, and your explanation of how the magic is different. The pairings are wonderful, I hope Pogue doesn't begin to feel like the 5th wheel. Whoever you decide to pair him with, it couldn't be worse than Kate.
Comments from author:
*grins* I'm so glad you like it so far! And that is definitely more than okay!!! The more people that see it, the more people that will read it! And that's never a bad thing!

I'm glad you think this is plausible, I definitely tried! Also, that my explanation about the magic actually made sense; I think I confused myself when I wrote that because I kept rewriting it, not to mention that I was half-asleep when I wrote it, lol!

And Yay! for you liking the pairings! Don't worry about Pogue, he'll be fine. He won't get his final pairing for while but I'll probably give him a few random girlfriends or boyfriends or a few casual dates to hold him over until then. And I agree, I don't think anyone could be worse than Kate! Except for maybe Sarah, but I wouldn't do that to him...Ever! I love him too much to do that. :)

Thanks for the review and the Rec!

Review of chapter "A Little Friendly Teasing" from IceWhisper
Review:
DUDE! You weren't on MSN to see me freak out! I have internet on my laptop! *does crazy happy dance* So yeah, I totally love you for advertising the forum on here, because I was too lazy to walk all the way to the desktop to get the link.

Chapter = Awesome! Poor Pogue all alone. =( Reid is going to mock Drake to hell and back for the choir thing. lmao I remember we had to sing songs in German in mine. Dear Lord, it was awful. We had no idea what the hell we were singing. The teacher says "take out the German song" meant "bed time, Crissy".

Haha. I WANT MOREEEE
Comments from author:
Yay! for internet on the laptop! *joins in your happy dance*

LOL! No problem, definitely don't mind shamelessly advertising my forum, lol! How else are we going toget members?

I'm glad you loved the chapter! And yes, Poor Pogue...He won't get a set pairing for a while yet, but I'll make sure and give him a few dates until then, maybe a short-term boyfriend or girlfriend...

Poor Drake is going to get teased so bad! And I plan on making him sing something in a foreign language just to give Reid more ammo....I'm so mean!

I'm hoping to work on the next chapter tonight. Sadly, my computer is very sick so I can't get my notes off of it so I'll be working note-less...Hopefully I won't mess my storyline up....

Thanks for the review! It was wonderful, as usual!

Review of chapter "A Little Friendly Teasing" from TouchoftheWind
Review:
Choir! Is this because of that thing i mentionned the other day? And i loved thr hand thing...i may have to steal...LOL!

xxx

-hands over pringles-
Comments from author:
The choir is mostly because I couldn't really think of any other classes to give him....plus I took choir so I know a little better how to describe it compared to say, shop, or something like that. Plus I had already mentioned him being a good singer, so I thought it fit.

I loved putting the Hand Check in there, LOL! I hadn't planned on it but it just happened and I'm glad it did, so funny!

Thanks for the review! And the pringles!

Review of chapter "Storms" from kattz
Review:
Great! I love the part about Reid's emotions effecting the weather. I was wondering if later we will get to see Hogwart's reaction when Draco doesn't show up?
Comments from author:
I'm so glad you liked it! I really liked the idea of Reid's magic basically getting away from him and effecting the weather because of how upset he was. And I think it worked out really well.

I feel so stupid! I didn't even think about that! I'll have to see what I can come up with! Thanks for the idea!

And thanks for the review!

Review:
Bloody brilliant, an earth moving kiss indeed, but they now probably both have colds...such a shame...LOL! -hands over pringles- And i loved the bits with Pogue, Drake and Reid, wonder what will happen whe they find out about Caleb and Tyler...Update soon!

Comments from author:
LOL! Oh no! Colds! I guess they'll just have to snuggle up and get better together... LMAO!

Pringles! Yum!

I'm gonna work on the next chapter tongiht. I'm planning on including the other three's reactions, actually that will probably be all that's in it....Caleb and Reid getting back, telling, and the reactions....But we'll see what happens, you know I don't really plan out my chapters, mostly just sit down and type and what happens happens.

Thanks for the review!!!

~ Kyra

P.S. You said Pogue, Drake and Reid and Caleb and Tyler...you got Reid and Ty backwards, LOL!

Review of chapter "Moping" from snarrybitch
Review:
thank you for this story, it's one of the best and most refreshing i've read in a long time. I love how you've kept draco sassy but not such a pillock as he is in the hp books sometimes. i loved the whole draco learning to drive senario and the leather trousers scene was a classic, just one question though, wouldn't draco go on about his nice arse, not ass? Also the idea of reid having a wand was one of those i really liked. maybe he is more inclined to use his mojo because he had more magic in him than the others but didn't know how to access the wizard magic because his only example is of the other kind. it will be interesting to see reid use more of this sort of magic and the others reaction to it.

I love the pairings you've gone for, i think that part of the reason reid and caleb but up against each other the way they do is because of an underlying attraction. can't wait for more of both. feel sorry for pogue but maybe a pretty biker girl will come his way.

I really can't wait to see where this story goes, looking forward to more soon. btw, loved the idea of a squib branch of malfoys, fantastic.
Comments from author:
*blushes* Awww, thanks!!!

I really love my Drake! He's so much fun! Thanks for pointing out the ass/arse thing, I totally spaced when I wrote it. I'll go fix that as soon as I'm done writing this. And I could totally see Draco being a major speed-demon if he ever learned to drive! Such fun! I absolutely just HAD to put him in some leather pants; can we 'Yummy'?

I'm going to try and work in some more of Reid using Wand Magic, but there probably won't be a whole lot....And I just realized that I never put in what the other smell was from when he got his wand...oops....I'll have to find a way to work that in....But anyway, he will use his wand some later on, but I don't want to spoil anything so....

I definitely think the pairings are working out better than I could have hoped for! I absolutely adore Reid/Tyler but since I wanted Ty with Drake, I decided to go for Caleb/Reid. And I totally agree; all that tension between them could easily be fixed if they'd just fuck and get it over with! Talk about UST! LOL!

I know, Squib Malfoys! Add that in with Drake living mostly as a Muggle and it's Lucius's ultimate shame! So much fun!

Thanks for the absolutely AMAZING review!!!! You totally made my day!

~ Kyra

P.S. Next chapter will be up just as soon as I finish tagging it! I hope you like it!

Review of chapter "Moping" from Nyn
Review:
Woo! I didn't see that coming, but YAY! Hopefully Reid kisses well enough that Caleb stops moping, LOL! Thanks for the frequent, regular updates; it's very impressive.
Comments from author:
I'm glad I managed to surprise you! Reid kisses....*sighs and drools* LOL!

Oh my gods, do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to get new chapters done on time?! LOL! I'm freguently up until anywhere from 3 until 7 in the morning writing, depending on if I'm on a roll or not; if I am I try to get a couple chapters done instead of just one. I should be able to keep a fairly regular update schedule tho for at least a little bit longer.

And speaking of updates, the next chapter should be up real soon, I just have to finish tagging it!

Thanks for the review!!!

Review:
that was a cool kiss, hehe!
Comments from author:
Yeah, it was! I've had that part of the chapter written for weeks! It just wouldn't stop playing over and over in my head, so I had to write it down...I told myself that I didn't care if it was the last thing I did, that scene was going in the story, LOL! And I managed to make it work, so Yay!

I'm glad you liked it; next chapter will be up as soon as I finish tagging it!
