Merlin's Magic - what a powerful chapter. I love the way you have taken us inside Hogwarts and pulled in many of our characters to keep us in the place and time. To write the turmoil within and around Harry and Draco... emotions of this nature especially by people who always put up a front would reverberate among teammates, classmates and professors. The reality of the impending war, the fact that classes and daily life must go on as Harry and Draco both fight with their inner emotions to figure out what do they feel!?! You really have written this as I see them ... it does not come easy. These two people have always had to hide their true selves both at home (with cold, heartless relatives) and at school (pro&conVoldemort, light/dark, good/evil) where people always want to classify you - there is no middle ground. I particularly enjoyed Montague, Snape and, of course, Dumbledore and his all knowing but always cryptic self. You have captured the swirl of emotions as they try to sort out their feelings and have me spellbound with your story.
WOW
