A good update. I don't think Harry would give fighting back a second thought, expulsion be damned. If he could incapacitate even one Death Eater, then he'd have proof, and even if he didn't, the Ministry is back on his side. No big deal.
I'm looking forward to the training, though I hope you don't take ten chapters to get through it all unless a lot of other things happen as well. I'm no good when it comes to predicting what's to come, so I'll just wait and see.
