I wonder what Dumbledore (and the rest of the non-Auror Wizarding World) will say about Harry, now that he's killed someone. What did Harriet do during the attack? Do we know any of the captured DE?
Did the Minister (is it Fudge, here?) try the character assassination on Harriet that happened summer of book5? I might have missed it - how does Hedwig react to Harry?
Author's response
- People are going to have problems wrapping their minds around the concept of a violent man. Most (including Dumbledore and the Dark Lady) will believe that Luna did the actual killing.
- After a lovely afternoon with Orestes, Harriet found out about the attack when they returned to the castle.
- No, Lucile took Random Minions 1 through 5 on the junket.
- Minister Fudge judged that there were too many witnesses (three, vise one) to ignore the return of the Dark Lady. That and this Riddle didn't hide following her return.
- I hadn't really thought about Hedwig. Have to think about that.
