Brilliant update. Draco seems so confident and sure of himself sometimes that its easy to forget that he's as broken and 'tortured' as he is. I feel so bad for Harry that he's struggling with himself so much. But I am glad that he's relaxed a bit about his 'closeness' to Draco. And I absolutely LOVE the way that they communicate so well, even without the sphere Harry always knows what Draco is 'saying.' This continues to be extremely intriguing and engaging. Looking forward to more.
Oh yeah! I know Harry doesn't want to start jumping at shadows,(literally) but I just know that those are more than shadows. I'm glad he got some sleep so he'll be alert.
