An excellent story! I enjoy your take on an Americanized Harry. I like how he interacts with Matt and Hermione as well. You've also done a great job at adding Luna to their group. Hmmm, has Malfoy actually learned to keep his mouth shut or is he just waiting for help from daddy dearest? As for animagi names, how about Talon or Ghostwalker for Matt, and Windwalker or Aquila for Hermione? Maybe Shadowdancer for Harry? Perhaps you could base their names on literary or mythological models of the animals. Anyway, thanks for writing this!
