okay, so I came back because I couldn't remember whether or not I had actually left a review when I read it and I hadn't. I'm really terrible about reviewing.
Blerg. Oh, well, the chapter was very interesting. I like seeing Draco's internal debates and how he actually is trying to change for Harry and for himself. I actually like it more because it's become something bigger than merely doing it for Harry's sake, because while love does require compromise, the person needs to, essentially, still be the same otherwise 1. they'll be unhappy and 2. the person that fell in love with them is no longer with the same person with whom they fell in love. Am I making any sense?
Well, the debate was very cool, and I admit I probably would have embarrassed Draco by ogling the debate arena too. ;)
I can see that Hermione means well, but she's Hermione and she has a tendency to stick her nose in things that don't need it.
The debate over house elves is very interesting though, because on the one hand it is a bit like slavery because even though they are born to and live to serve their master, that trait can be attributed to the eons of generations where their enslavement has been considered okay. It would be like if slavery were still legal a couple centuries from now, most people wouldn't question it because it's the way things are? Again, not sure if I'm making any sense. But on the other hand, the elves very well may be naturally inclined to be subservient. There should be some sort of research to find out if it's just in their nature, like the nature of mother's to be protective, and beavers to build dams, and bears to hibernate. Is it genetic, is it evolution?
