Great chapter! These lines / passages particularly stood out for me:

I had thoughts that were stupid, but as long as I don’t actually do anything stupid, then it’s all right.

Sigh, methinks Harry still needs some therapy....

A solid sound, as though the Weasel had clapped Harry on the shoulder. Draco curled his lip. He always clapped too hard; Draco had seen the bruises before.

I quite liked the protectiveness and possessiveness of this - and why are these scenes where Harry's apparently half-naked in front of Draco so that he can see the bruises on his shoulder not getting included in the story??? ;) I think that it's great for Ron to finally be putting Harry "first" in saying that he's still part of their family and should come home for the holidays, no matter what happened with Ginny.

I do that to him, Draco thought smugly as he walked further into the room. Me.

I often "like" your Harries better than your Dracos, in part just because I'm predisposed towards Harry, but I'm definitely really liking this Draco.

Well, I can still trip him up, or punch him, or hold him against a wall and breathe on his lips until he thinks we’re going to snog. Draco could not decide which of those would be more fun.

:D

He hoped that was right. He was mostly running on old memories of shows that he’d sometimes glimpsed on the Dursleys’ telly that were set in historical times.

I found it hilarious that Harry was trying to figure out how to approach Narcissa based upon BBC costume dramas or some such LOL.

“You need not be so hard on him, Draco,” his mother murmured the moment Potter had followed one of the house-elves out of the dining room in search of the bathroom.

I really like how Narcissa's being all demure except when she demanded that Harry call her by her first name, and how she's trying to get Draco to relax in his treatment of Harry so that he doesn't run him off or make him very unhappy or whatever. I'm sure that her reasons don't have much to do with well-being of H. in and of himself, but I still like it.

And a Harry fit, noooo! But as I think someone else said, maybe now he will have to spend the holidays at Malfoy Manor, yeah....
