Oh... yuck/. I bet that Harry releasing his whole magic charge into the troll has left a really, /really nasty mess for Filch to clean up. I strongly suspect that this is going to be the girls' first understanding about just how powerful Harry is.
I did love the bit with Snape. We start to see the differences between gryffindor!Harry and ravenclaw!Harry. This version of our hero plans a few moves ahead, something that a 'charge forwards' Gryff would have a hard time doing. We also see this in the confrontation with Draco. Harry is aiming to disarm instead of destroy, at least for now.
This story is keeping its momentum and I look forward to seeing more.

- Perhaps more importantly, they will see what using this magic does TO him.
- I've upset quite a few people with the Snape scene... I've been getting 'stinking Snape Lover' emails all day. Odd really, I detest the git, and am trying to make him less of an ass in my story.
- Draco, of course, isn't going to roll over just because of Harry's friendly words... Which isn't to say that he hasn't made sense to some of the Slytherins...
