An excellent chapter! I loved how Harry dealt with Snape and Draco......by outthinking them! Though that's not hard to do.....snicker. Why the pair of them might actually get a few thoughts in their heads that aren't bigoted. Then again, maybe not. I'm not suprised that Dudley's lack of common sense caused a disaster, it's just too bad that innocent people died along with him and his parents. Harry and Padma came up with a great way to cheer up Hermione on her birthday, and it was also a nice way to bond with the other students. As for Harry and the troll....well, sometimes you can negotiate and sometimes you need the Terminator......looks like Filch is going to have quite a mess to clean up! Hmmmm...Snape can now get a first hand look at what Harry and his techsuit can do. Thanks for the chapter!

- Snape may have decided that not actively abusing Harry might just be a carreer enhancing action...
- For a while I've had the picture in my mind of Dudley going apeshit on a control console while Vernon defended him for being an inquisitive boy... And of course Harry catches it in the shorts as ususal.
- Actually Filch will have less to clean up than one might think...
