I love the overall story, but am endlessly frustrated by the short chapters, especially the ones like this where pretty much all that happens is window dressing for future chapters. All the scenes were static; The Old Ones discuss the traitors, but aside from the one self-exile no action is taken. The Weasleys discuss matters on the train, but no action is forthcoming. Harry and Hermione arrive on the island, and the chapter ends. Very frustrating. I love the originality of your work, but sometimes the pacing leaves a lot to be desired.
