I may have said that before, but in this chapter in particular I noted again how perfect you handle point-of-view. The back and forth from a scene in Harry's to another scene in Draco's pov is not forced at all, but moves along admiringly smooth and natural. You do a great job of giving us readers just the right amount of information to form our own suspicions and get mad at Draco :-). I love how self-assured and capable this Harry is. Faustine and the Imperatrix are wonderful, a true wizarding restaurant that it not just another Muggle copy. Hermione and the ring ... I am not all convinced of this as a literary device. Do we need her voice in Harry's head? And she is seriously annoying ;-). Just food for thought, obviously. Thanks for writing this!
