Thank you! I think Ron is still struggling to define himself. He'll have to find someone else to be than just Harry's sidekick and Hermione's boyfriend and hanger-on, now.

Draco is changing his behavior a bit at this point because Harry's behavior is exasperating him SO MUCH. He's more snappish in the next chapter, as you'll see. His mother does give him the advice to tone it down a bit.

And thanks so much!
