Chuckle....so Harry owns Teen Witch Weekly. Looks like Neville will be on that list for a long time! McGonagall and the twins are definately going for the throat Weasley wise and wating patiently is the Lady Black. On the whole the potion trio would be better off not giving Daphne a chance to get at them. Ron is totally stupid, he saw Hermione smack Malfoy upside the head for having a smart mouth and he thought he could lay his hands on her? He's lucky that she didn't castrate him then and there! Then again her sister-wife and husband would want to see that and dish out their fair portion of the pain. I bet the Weasley pair will have a fit when McGonagall's prediction becomes fact since they love quidditch. Ron'll be as upset by losing that as he is Hermione. By the by, did anyone hear what he said about McGonagall? Dissing one's head of house can be bad for one's health. I'm glad that Remus is rethinking his position, he's one of my fav chacters and I'd like seeing him bond with Harry and his wives. As for Dumbles, he's about to get stomped on again via Neville and his grandmother. Unlike Harry and Hermione they know the ins and outs of pure blood social behavior, and he could find himself marginalized socially with a few well chosen words. It looks like Tonks will really live to regret getting involved in this mess, her mother respects Harry both as a person and as the head of the family and such behavior from her own child has got to hurt. So Dumbles tried to murder Hermione using that basilisk eh? He'd better hope that Harry never finds that out or he'll be coldcuts. So Voldy intends to attack Dumbles in hopes that Harry will be throw off balance. That's unlikely given Harry's current attitude, he's lumped them together as bad news and wants to take both of them out. And if he thinks that Harry would trust Malfoy Sn even in a family meeting he's really grasping at straws. Is Fawkes going to dump Dumbles soon, or did Dumbles do something to him as well? Anyway, thanks for the chapter, and as always it was enjoyable!

The least he could do and all that.
A smart guy would listen to Minnie, no one ever accused Ron of being smart.
Actually Ron didn't see Harry do Malfoy and Snape... Though he certainly heard about it.
Hermione would never do real damage to Ron, she basically thinks of him as her old friend who has somehow gone wrong. Harry would feel the same. Daphne on the other hand...
Only Hermione heard him, she's not likely to turn him in.
I'm trying to write Remus, but i've never had much success doing so intelligently.
The House of Longbottom is likely to be slightly miffed.
The punishment I have in mind for Miss Tonks is inhumanly cruel... And funny.
He needed to remove her from the equation...
Harry won't trust Lucius, but cannot refuse...
Fawkes will be leaving... unless he doesn't.
Thanks for the review.
