interesting progression, and i can't believe dumbles didn't come himself... dumbles seems to be throwing a tantrum, which is different, and i think out of character, is has always been cunning, (a little manipulative bastard, sure). but ur dumbles seems to be making alot of off hand comments and lots of mistake, not thinking things through... that is confusing....
i liked harry and luna again, the letter for naricassa didn't really flow with this chapter, it just seemed to hang in there... i hope to see more of susie, and what harry/luna eventually decide regardign the matter, and also how they grow....
hermione also seemed a little out of character, with her beign so polite and non-authoritative... (i'n not sure if that made sense) but she just seemed to agree with harry, and made know suggestions and didn't seem pushy for information... there seems to be more goin on there then hermione is telling atm, maybe it is because of fear of owls getting inter-cepted... did sirius send her some docs??? (knowing he could trust her, with havign harry best interest at heart)....
plus, what should be make of hermione, she is obviously a part of this story, and still loyal to harry.
great work otherwise..... and i look forward to how the story unfolds...
and for once i would like to find someone besides tonks on harry's side... maybe hestia or an OC order member... anyway, thats just me babbling. congrats.
