Ooh, the plot thickens! Scary and mean! And yet for all the moments of "oh no!" I felt, you didn't leave me feeling hopeless. More like, as said above, I can't wait to see what Draco does. He has cinched up his sword and will soon head into battle like Godric himself! Yea!!!

Nice to see Hermione's shift. She was believably depressed, and now believably without depression. Is she to spend the rest of her life on this potion?
