Hermione is awesome in this chapter. Then again, she’s always awesome in this story.
“Harry, you can’t just lie back and accept what happens to you because of who’s doing it.”
Someone had to ask him that, and try to make him realize it’s… well, stupid.
He still didn’t know how to tell anyone about the way he had endured the Dursleys’ insults when he was young because he had hoped they would love him if he was good enough. After that he had endured the insults because of sheer determination not to let them see him cry, but the first impulse still remained with him.
That makes Harry’s irrational actions make much more sense! I love how you don’t forget Harry’s past; everything that happened in his past left a mark (it does with everyone). But I think I already said that ::lol::
I like that Shacklebolt becoming Minister didn’t mean everything would be fine, and corruption would end, etc.
Draco’s little speech was perfect but I don’t know if Narcissa got the message. She could ignore it and pretend it never happened, she’s good at that.
