I just spent the last few days catching up on this and I'm so very glad I did. It's been great watching the boys grow up and into themselves. And all the fighting they've had to do to get there along with the fact that there's so much farther to go. There's also their relationship, which I could speak about for a while but let's just say, I think you very talented for having made it so obvious that there is something there without ever putting the spotlight on it. And also how even though you make mentions of it on the fringes of the story, it feels as if it's absolutely central.
And let's not forget Snape because you make that so very hard to do. There's so much to him. I think the part I like best about him is the contrast he provides to Harry and Draco's youth. He's an adult in all senses of the word...his insight and maturity, his mistakes and how he struggles with them. Even how he continues to make them because he is, after all, human.
Anyways, great chapter! My love for Draco grows and Snape was made of pure win xD. And Harry? Well, Harry was pure Harry, with his determination and h ope in the midst of his anger. As for Dumbledore, I'm so glad you addressed him. The insight about him was lovely to read and I like how you gave it to us with such honesty. It's nice to finally be able to see some responsibility beneath all that intrigue of why Dumbledore does the things he does.

Oh and Sirius! So glad he's still alive!
