Excellent chapter! I loved seeing Neville and company take care of Draco and his stooges with just the right amount of flare! It looks as though Luna will have loads of filler articles for the paper.......maybe even a book " Dark Lords and Idiots: the Biography of Harry J. Potter ". Dumbles, Snape, Voldy and the Weasleys would give her loads of material for it! I'm looking forward with glee to smackdown central......the Hogwarts students are going to see one devil of a show this year........what's the odds Dumbles tries to have the marriages annulled? After all, he has proven to be both stupid and a control freak. Then again, Harry, Hermione, and Daphne were fairly powerful to begin with, now that Harry's power is unblocked and they can support each other through the bond the smackdowns magical and otherwise will be nasty. I hope Madam Pomfrey's got lots of healing potions on hand.....she'll need them when the carnage starts. Thanks for another great chapter! As for Molly, if she had good sense she'd head for Outer Mongolia, forget she speaks english, and would dye her hair before trying to punish Harry and Hermione for escaping!

" Dark Lords and Idiots: the Biography of Harry J. Potter "
I'm stealing that.
Direct attacks on the marriages are only a couple of the things Dumbs is going to try...
Poppy is likely to be on the Newlyweds side... Healing potions for the others might be hard to come by...
I'm outlining the confrontation between Molly and Hermione right now...
