I quite enjoyed both chapters you've posted today, thank you. I found this chapter quite interesting as he found Hermione and came to her aid. I daresay those seventh years will not particularly appreciate that they've been the first since Halloween of 1981 to run afoul of Harry Potter and he's obviously not a friend of bullies and bigots; I'd argue that they got off lucky, they're alive and the broken bones can be repaired - though the "BIGOT" tatoo or marking is definitely going to hinder their employment prospects.

oh yes it most certainly will. those particular seventh-years may come back in the future.
what I was trying to convey with that was that Harry isn't a killer, nor is he overly violent towards those who incur his wrath, he just does what those people deserve and little more.
