Wow, it was very emotionally draining to read this chapter. I cannot imagine what you had to go through to write it.

Harry is being silly once again, very cannon like. I know he feels guilty for how much and many he took from Draco and it is noble to feel this way. What is not noble and extremely stupid is to tell Draco that feelings of guilt and debt are the reasons he slept with him. I would imagine that to Draco it sounded like a pity sex. Poor Draco, crumbling once again.

It is ironic that for Draco Nott for a substitute for Harry, but Harry thinks that he is a substitute for Nott. How can be Harry so oblivious? I hope that the confusion will be resolved very soon.

Ginny should voluntarily give up the bond at this point. She is a smart, proud and brave girl and deserves to be with someone who will love her.

The scene with Blaise was interesting. It reminded me about Frodo in front of the Black Gate. I hope that Blaise will survive his mission as well, even if he is alone and does not have a companion in person. He has Seamus in his mind and heart though. Hopefully, it’ll be enough to survive the ordeal.

Great chapter! Cannot wait for more!!!
