Well, I am still holding out hope for H/Hr in this story. Cho is just too alien of a character to get me excited as a romantic interest for Harry and she also has too much baggage from the books. Heck I'd rather have Harry and a Slytherin pair up than Cho.
The chapter brought up some interesting points. Most people interpret the failures of the deatheaters more as an endorsement for the kids than anything else. So, I look forward to the next chapter and eventually Sirius' will now that you have peaked my interest.
Thanks for writing,
Matt
