The owl drops exposing the "The Fantasies of Those Who Wish to Persecute Homosexuals, was so over the top (in a very good way). Such careful planning while implanting seeds of doubts about those who would do the rebellion harm. No PR firm could come up with this; it almost struck me as something WWW would try ;-}
I had so been waiting for Draco to have it out with Nusante. He was as deliberate as we he was patient, well at least as patient as Draco can be, perhaps. Nusante's desire to see violence and bloodshed is troubling. He just doesn't get that there are better, not to mention cleaner ways to accomplish their goals and he's either too naive, or too ignorant of the realities of life to notice. Obviously having no firsthand knowledge of either combat or warfare, he's dumb enough to believe death and suffering are something to look forward to. In a way, it's wonderful that he grew up in a world devoid of those horrors, but until he's actually seen someone maimed, or killed, he may never understand his own idiocy no matter how hard Draco presented the facts (with his little spell).
Alice does seem sensible despite the belief that love follows marriage and not the other way around, which I suppose can be ascribed to Pure-Blood indoctrination. But if Lucius was to bring Draco out and there was already a spell cast, is Harry/Gerald a little bit too overconfident? If Pansy, for some reason sides with Lucius, there could be trouble ahead ... but I'll stop speculating and merely regale you with my usual kudos of appreciation for publishing another fine chapter!
