Another excellent chapter, even though I do have one admittedly small quibble.
Holly caving to Hermione simply because of a little shakespearean prose seems a little weak to me, though I'll withold judgement until I read the related Tangent.
By the way, loved the way you girl-talked Charlie into submission.

Thank you! Your insight is fair and reasonable- that bit of prose wasn't Holly's reason, just what she was willing to tell Minerva. (Yeesh! I better get moving on that Tangent!)
