Great chapter! I loved Draco's house-elf almost spilling his secrets about his injuries. For some reason, I just found that very funny. And I liked Draco calling Cordelia's bluff. I'm not sure about the whole plan though - somehow I don't think "boring" Daphne will be as easy as Draco would like to believe.

I don't know if you can tell me or not but I'm interested about Ginny - is her reaction to Harry, seeming fearful, because of what happened between them or is it something else? Is his guilt colouring his interpretation or is that actually how it is?
