You have to admit that this was rather short and an immediate follow up is expected. Good chapter. I like the challenge against Bellatrix. Here's a bit of a challenge. I would like to see you let him beat her, but don't kill her off. You've got such a long running story that it would be worth it for her to have her arse handed to her to get away. Second, you have a very OOC Narcissa heading there way. I am curious what you plan to do here. You could kill off Malfoy, or have her performance with Draco be an act, or not be an act and have Narcissa's death at Bellatrix's hands be a launching pad for a more firm light-sided Draco. Food for thought.

I do post some rather short chapters at times, normally becuase either the next chapter is long or its a convenient place to end it.
I am afraid I have already written the next chapter and it does not quiet happen how you would like, but I will say that Bellatrix will never try to duel Harry again and she does get her arse firmly kicked later on, not by Harry but by a student in the DA who holds an even bigger grudge against her.
I am afraid the Narcissa you want is not going to be appearing in the story, I have planned the story out and things like that would create significant changes to the plot.
Thanks for the suggestions.
