I had for almost forgotten the love that is Draco's potion making. There is a current, even a flow, to the dynamic that is soothing and invigorating, simultaneously. I'm a little wary that the potion contained blood, but that shouldn't be a litmus test, I suppose. A finely tuned version of Desire akin to Harry's potion to be "given" to Lucius, I can only wonder at the effects (and potential side-effects and/or consequences of withdrawal). And Draco falling down is one of those moments I suspect he'll keep to himself ;-}
But the trial is where my heart is. The winner of the oooh we forgot that one line, has to be: “And that I killed a Dark Lord,” Harry said helpfully. “You might want to mention that, too.” It was suitably hysterical in context. Eleanor didn't take her shot when she had it and it showed how out of her element she was. Harry Potter voluntarily under Veritaserum! It probably was only because he was the one to suggest it that she balked. Or, maybe she wouldn't have gotten all the answers she wanted, but the possibilities to get him were enormous. Instead she goes to the complete other end of the spectrum and wants to gag him and convict him solely on her say so. Pathetic!
Winifred Firstfruits?! LOL, Where do you come up with these names?
Charlemagne seems to think he's got enough goods to bury Harry, hunh? His confidence, or perhaps overconfidence, is working well for him right now. But it's like having all your ducks lined up on a conveyor belt, it only works if you have complete control of the mechanism and he's not all that powerful. He does an admirable job of putting on his show, though the delay caused by showing each member of the tribunal the memories does hinder his time line. I suspect he has other traps waiting out there for those who would like to help free Harry.

Two Words: Hurry Draco!
Thanks for enabling us once again!
