Such an enjoyable story - I do like the manner in which you are weaving in the legendary figures of the old world to help Harry - since after all - they would be affected by Moldie's actions if he took over.
Your characterization of Hermione and Ron does seem spot on as well - one a true friend, and the other fickle and thoughtless.
thanks for the unexpectedly rapid updates - much appreciated

I would say Ron is more thoughtless and self-absorbed than anything else
