*bites fingernails* What an incredible, intense, agonizing chapter.
I was almost disappointed when Harry thought that there was no way Draco could come to the rescue. Does he have that little faith in his lover? But at the same time, I know that Harry knows just how closed, confined spaces affect Draco, so maybe it isn't that unreasonable. And then at the end, when Harry hoped the crashing stone was Draco, I knew that he did have faith in Draco's abilities to fight back.
Draco was awesome in this chapter. I loved his determination to call his ancestors to his aid, how he never wavered until they awakened. Julia was quite a bit gory, but I suppose that will only make her more terrifying to Andromeda.
Harry was also wonderful in this chapter. How he stayed strong for the children despite being flayed alive, how he tried to bring Andromeda back with his story about Tonks, how he worked with Draco despite them not being able to communicate--he provided a distraction from the crashing stone, which will allow the Malfoy ancestors to make an even more horrible entrance.
