Harry’s response to vacation: investigate in private. Does he know he’s so predictable?
Being an Auror has sharpened his senses when it comes to people… as long as they aren’t close to him, it seems. He was wrong about Malfoy’s reaction to the change in Aurors and I think he was wrong about Ron and Hermione. They wouldn’t act upset about Kingsley’s decision, because they think it’s right. Maybe if he’d stayed and talk with them, he could have asked why nobody thinks Hermione’s mad when she works too long. Though nobody thinks he’s mad (at least, I don’t. And I don’t think Malfoy’s mad either), it’s the risk of going mad, with the way he’s been living, they are concerned about.
And third, if Harry slowed down too much, for too long, he would start to think there was some truth in what Kingsley was saying.
Which means that, deep down, he knows there’s truth in what Kingsley, and his friends, have been saying (or trying to say). Denial should be Harry’s middle name in this fic.
He had to. It was what he was made for, born for.
What the hell happened to him, to think so little of his self-worth outside his job? To think that nobody would be interested in his ordinary wishes (as if nobody has them too)? To be so distrustful? I loved this chapter, even if it let me with a hundred questions.
Which face was the real one?
I wonder why he has to pick one, instead of accepting both as real.
I’ve considered your behavior more closely, and—well, I think you need the help of the Mind-Healers at St. Mungo’s
This made me laugh. Oh, the irony.
Harry was more physically attracted to Draco than I thought. It seems like Harry’s on the verge of realise (or should I say recognise?) that everyone’s worry over him has a point. He needs a little push, one he can’t ignore. With only four chapters to go, it feels like this will end like The Long-Desired, with Harry on his way to recovery… if it ends well, that is. I’m a little curious about the truth of Keatson’s death, though I care more about Harry’s evolution.
