Description
It's both a really interesting and sometimes irratating thing that nearly all of the harry potter series is told in such a way that you only see things from his point of view (Spinner's end was a brilliant deviation from that) but it makes it understandable that some characters, Draco majorly, come off as extremely one sided. It made me happy to see him show a little depth in HBP, and the idea of Myrtle having someone to console is so cute.Oddly enough Harry/Draco is still one of the few pairings that just plain leave me cold. There's hardly any slash pairing/grouping, pluasible or not, that doesn't appeal to me from HP, though Remus/Sirius will always be my favorite. Ah well.

edit - changed Myrtle's tail a little bit as per Fala's suggestion

The expressions are perfect. People are ugly when they're crying.

It was indeed WONDERFUL to see some depth. I admit, I was disappointed by Draco in the last book. I hoped, heck, expected at least faint redemption or something but no, he was more sniveling and whiny than ever. I really wished he could be a little less one dimensional you know? something more than this whiny little coward. I dunno, I was sad.

Aww, I feel so sorry for Draco in this moment, because it shows everyone that he's not as cold as he's made out to be and that his icy mask can be melted away to show his true image, brilliantly portrayed in this picture well done!

Awww, yes. I love your design for Myrtle. She looks so sweet here and Draco looks helpless. I like the expressions - you usually don't see the right wrinkles in the face when anyone's crying. Too often you see bishified crying. XD;
I agree with Harry/Draco. Doesn't excite me very much except for mistful's fiction, and that's because I love her Draco. She could pair Draco the way she writes him with anyone and I'd be happy. XD Cause she writes him like the flawed little snot he's supposed to be, and yet totally human enough to like. Personally I'm becoming somewhat of a fan of Draco/Neville. XD; Just cause.

I didn't that HBP made Draco any more likable. If anything it made him even more pathetic. I liked him back in first year and second when we didn't know yet that he was a total wimp.

It's been said but, that's such a cute looking Myrtle. I was cheering out load when I first read that scene and I've been a devoted Malfoy fan ever since.

A loud and resounding YES to your description. I cannot express how glad I was to see a step taken to adding depth to a 16 year old kid who can't possibly be classified as good or evil just yet

Aaaah! Very cute! You did very well on this, I love the colouring and the way you drew Moaning Myrtle and Draco. They look cute. (Did I actually say that? *eyes picture suspiciously again* Yeah, guess so)

Awww. ;-; That scene made me flail, and I reaallllyyy wanted to know more about it. You're right, I hadn't thought about it - Harry's view all the time IS yummy and rather frusterating. I wanted him to go after Draco and question him, 'cause that was the only way we'd get to know any more about it. Ahh, I love that she's actually giving substance to Draco. Makes him really interesting. And the actual picture itself! XD I love their expressions, and the shading on Draco's face I especially noticed. Very nice! I love how you did his clothing, as well, and not to mention his posture. *_* I think I gotta favorite this.

I totally agree with you. When this happened, I was like, "Yay Draco's a lot less 2-D!" And I felt very sorry for him.

oh, I love it!
I love myrtle, her bluish glow, and draco looks more like I pictured him than in the movies, exept that i never really pictured him crying like that...

I also like that she told it from differnt points of view. She only did that in the begining chapter of gof but it wasnt any of the characters that we already knew and he like died right away.

The whole background is amazing, and Dracos posture is done very well. I love your Myrtle.
Well done.
