Just caught this story. I suspect Albus is in for a load of nasty surprises this summer as all his efforts start to come undone as Harry & friends, with rather unexpected allies, start forging their own path rather than relying on others. It should be interesting to watch, to say the least.
Author's response
As for Harry, Harry is playing things to a timetable. It is the kind of news he is going to get from his new allies that will upset his timetable and he will have to rethink his plans.
Albus is having a bit of unexpected bad luck, since he is being forced against a wall by events. He will bounce back, however - he is inventive and innovative, if nothing else.
Thanks for the encouragement, and thanks for reading and reviewing. The next chapter will be online in a few minutes.
