I like the start of this and it's a return to the intelligent and determined young witch we saw in th first five books. I'm going to be looking forward to further chapters. It's going to be quite interesting to see what all, and how in depth, Harry's discussed with Hermione's picture and how this'll affect their reunion; it's already obvious that there's going to be significant Weasley conflict here and if -this- Ron does the desertion number, he damn well may not be accepted back.
