Wow, this chapter was intense. I like how you handled Ron and Hermione. They were absolutely in character and acted exactly as I would expect of them, even if I hated Hermione's 'holier than thou' attitude. I understand that she truly believes she is doing the right thing and saving Harry by going to St. Mungo's. But she doesn't understand Harry, she doesn't know him any longer and I'm not sure she even tried to see it through his eyes.

I am rather interested how Harry's going to act now that his life and personae are threatened. I don't want him to use the Pensieve and that Hermione has forced him that far is horrible. I hope Draco will intervene and stop this.

Duh, I hate Hermion right now, even if I love how well you portrayed her. To some extent actually I prefer Ron's behaviour, even if it is partly 'bury your head in the sand' and partly ' 'I don't understand this madness'. But at least he doesn't try to ruin Harry.

Funnily enough Harry was really almost sick and I agree with Hermione (partially), but as soon as Draco appeared in his life, Harry found grounding force, something to help him find his real self and like it. And Hermione is threatening all of this without even realising what she might unleash.

Excellent chapter. Perfectly balanced and executed, great characters. I loved that Harry stood his ground. At the end I feared a little that he would Obliviate Hermione and Ron, but while this would have been the easy way, I'm glad he didn't go there. Not that I am glad about the Pensieve. I am horrified.

And I am still curious about Lucius' spell. Considering that Harry lied to Draco, I had the idea that maybe Lucius wanted to make Harry a habitual liar, hoping to crash his public face (I wonder if he know that Harry IS a habitual liar), or hoping that lying would destroy Harry and Draco's relationship (which is weird for it is commonly considered that Slytherins lie as a way of life). Now, that I consider this, maybe that's not it. I'll see at some point.

Love you! The next chapter can't come soon enough, trust me :).

A small typo :)

I’ve dating Draco Malfoy, and I’m involved in the rebellion to ensure the rights of gay wizards and witches.
