Gawd, you're playing this pretty rough, aren't you? Hands nailed to their bed's frames? Owls with acid? blanches Well, if Harry/whoever was totally convinced that every one of them was privy to the details of an attack that was going to take innocent lives, fair enough, I guess.
Well, my theory of Harry being the one doing all this evaporates further every time another attack happens and he's nowhere in sight. Although his statement that he was at the Three Broomsticks the whole time wouldn't stop another him being on the roof. It's his second vow the last chapter which is the real crimp in my time turner theory.
(that and the fact that a time-turner would really put the cat among the pigeons, it's a dangerous artefact to use unless you're J. K. Rowling and don't mind ignoring the obvious ramifications for the story; i.e. the "but then the bad guys could use one too" possibilities.)
No more harassment of Luna! cheers
Don't make Hermione too oblivious/dumb in comparison with Luna, okay? Viz her failing to notice the Slyerthins' tardiness, and then the signs of Harry's behaviour presaging another counter-attack.
Harry having been obliviated, along with the muggles, while a child at the Dursley's? Excellent idea!
