Nice chapter, tho' a bit depressing. Death is part of war, but I wonder why they just let the attacks happen. Are there really so many death eaters and so few Aurors and Order members that the Deaters had the upper hand? Why not have something like wards that isolate apparation (doesn't the ministry have that? or why is there apparation points?) so the death eaters are trapped? Oh well, Harry can't have it too easy, can he?
