Awwwww.....poor Fudge. He might be greatful that his guards took him to St. Mungo's, at least he'll be closer to medical assistance then. I can't wait to see how Harry and the Wild Hunt start cleaning house! Why hasn't Dumbles guessed who the Baron is? Does he believe that Harry wouldn't make a move without consulting him first; or does he just want to avoid another beating? It looks like both Harry and Hermione are picking up plenty of information and skills! Thanks for the chapter, and i liked seeing how Crabbe and Goyle showed a bit more smarts than Malfoy......though that's not hard to manage! I'm looking forward to the reunion of Dobby and Harry, and eventually Harry and Hermione's! I bet Dumbles tries to take credit for that! :)
