Um, since they know what it is, couldn't they easily just look it up? Then, it wouldn't take much to take a rooster down, use a compulsion to make it crow, and then be done with it.
When I saw that Moody blamed Dumbles for how bad thing were going in the last war, I made a connection. The old pedo was probably clamoring for leniency for DE because they had a bunch of pretty poufs like Lucius that he wanted a piece of.
I guess watching one of Harry's girls getting Parseltongued left her thinking that she was going to just be happy with what she had.
Wait, so the six Dukes are Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin? So Harry is in control of five of the six, and Sirius is in control of the sixth? Oh this just keeps getting better and better. It probably won't happen in the story, but I wouldn't mind seeing an omake of side story where Harry and Sirius actually do remove their authority and grace. Would prove quite amusing.
Wait, why is Dumbledore getting upset about being called a homosexual? He slept with Snape, he had designs on No Name, and his vision in the Mirror of Erised make it pretty fucking plain. Or is it that he has problems with others knowing it.
Dumbledore won't learn until someone kills his ass. Personally, I think Harry should sneak attack, and nut Dumbledore.
