Well, that didn't work out so well, did it, Albus? 'Twas quite a ride and I thought it was well-finished. The use of the shaking-off of dust was a nice metaphor that I suspect took Albus a while to figure it out. I like the way Harry managed to deal with everything without losing control of his magic.
I rather imagine that given some time to percolate, you'll find some more interesting ideas to work with. In the meantime, I most certainly enjoy re-reading the work you have posted.
