Nice chapter, just what I needed after Forgive Those Who Trespass :P
It’s clear Harry’s smitten with Draco, and that Draco’s not indifferent to Harry. Unfortunately, it’s also clear that a relationship between them is doomed as long as Harry keeps taking the potion (if, that is, Draco consents to a relationship before>/i> Harry stops). The little scene at the beginning made me think how unfair it is for Harry to be able to tease Draco while Draco can’t do the same to him (or at least, not as much). But it’s more than that… it’s like Harry can’t be an equal to his partner as long as he’s on the potion. That’s the feeling I have. Besides, it’s most likely that Draco, while pushing Harry in every possible way to try and get a real reaction, will go too far.
I think that if Draco tells Harry everything he feels about they way Harry behaves while on the potion (specially about Harry not seeming human), it will make more of an impact to Harry than whatever other argument Draco or Hermione use.
As much as I liked the Q&A session Harry and Draco had, the highlight of this chapter was the exchange between Hermione and Diggory. Hermione was brilliant, and Harry too, his last line was good. Still, I think Harry’s the weak link of the three not being well versed in politics, unlike Draco and Hermione.
That smile was Hermione’s “about to launch missiles of logic” warning.
LOL And of course Harry’s able to recognize it, having been on the receiving end so many times.
Then the snake replied, “Too tired to talk,” and stretched its neck along one of the roots.
You have no idea how much I love you for the Parseltongue!! :D
