Harry is adorable and wonderful when he's protective, but if he hadn't finally left the hospital wing, I was going to predict a Draco-resents-coddling-Harry-assumes-that-means-Draco-hates-him scenario. Still might come, but I don't know. Though maybe if Harry does a bit of panicking of his own, Draco won't feel so helpless.
Horcrux discussion iminent! I hope. Regardless, it shall be a very interesting conversation.
Ron and Hermione were well written in this chapter. I always envision Hermione as someone that does her best to balance out logic and emotions, so when she realizes that talking to protective!Harry about grieving!Draco is not going to go anywhere right then, she shoves Ron out and tables the discussion for later.
Ah, Severus. Is it the power of suggestion/the fact that he's looking that makes so many details of Harry seem to belong to his genetics, or is he just noticing how similar they really are? Though I find it ironic that he can mention James as "the man I hated most", yet not realize he fills something close to that role in Harry's life. Though I assume that people like Voldemort and Tobias Snape/Vernon Dursley also fit that bill...
So many questions to be answered. Alas, 3 days before that occurs. Can't wait for the next update. -Jolene
