Great chapter! Harry and Draco are sooooo beyond cute, and Dumbledore is rather creepy and clearly still manipulative despite lessons supposedly learned. I find it rather odd that Ron would think that someone turning out to have a different parent than he thought would really make said person any different, considering that the mystery parent wasn't around previously to shape the person's character and personality. But perhaps he will get over that part relatively quickly once he has time to think about it. Despite the fact that it could have gone worse, I still can't help feeling that even Hermione was rather self-centered in her response to the news about Draco and could have given Harry the benefit of the doubt and some more time to express himself about it. But then again, these kiddos are actually teenagers, and Harry and R&H have also been somewhat distanced lately due to R&H's dramas and due to Harry's silent struggles. *bops Ron and Hermione on the head* I adored this line:

Harry said, in a voice so small Draco could have lost it in his cupped hands.
