It's interesting watching Hermione and Harry inch toward being with each other as their souls wish and it's a pleasure watching their relationship develop. In the meantime, there's a crime to solve and that'll help the healing and closure.
I wonder if NHS records are ever accessed by medi-wizards or others who'd recognize Paul's symptoms. I thought the scene of the tentacles just missing him that night was a nice illustration of how that cognivore is slowly slipping since Ron's end.

Wow!
Someone's been reading my outline again!
Yes, NHS records will feature into this story.
You're good!
. . . or I'm getting too damn predictable.
Time for another plot twist!
