Nice to see you back at it. An interesting chapter, though I find it interesting that Dumbledore didn't feel the need to stop an "out of control" Harry until Harry had turned his rancor on him. The old man is flat out delusional. He should just bloody well apologize to Harry and admit he'd been fooled, with a caveat that he's making the apology because he wronged Harry, not because he's expecting forgiveness. Of course, if Dumbledore was truly sorry, he wouldn't be forcing Harry to return to Hogwarts.
