Many thanks for another great set of chapters! Here's hoping that Yaxley and his little friends get everything they deserve and more! I'll bet that Madam Bones will have no trouble burning the midnight oil for them, especially if it leads to the rest of the slimy rat pack! I hope that Prof. McGonagall visits Harry and company next chapter. The talk between Mack and Harry was well done. He and Judith are great characters. Take care, and I'm anticipating the next smackdown on the DE's, Dumbles, and that idiot Voldy! :)

Heya Teresa!
Thank yeeeewww!
Yaxley (et al) will indeed be getting their comeuppance, starting next chapter. Amelia will indeed be working overtime on this problem. For the sake of continuity, most of the details will be omitted, as I want to get to the arrest and interrogation of our favorite brewer of freelance pharmaceuticals.
At this particular point in time, McGonagall doesn’t know about Hermione specifically, as she was badly wounded and in a great deal of pain, and to the best of her knowledge, Harry is dead. Her next direct interaction with them will be in the next to last chapter, where Harry disposes of the not-quite-as-dead-as-we-all-would-like-dark-lord problem.
The discussion between Harry and Mack was especially hard to write, as I had to put myself into both places at the same time. Quite honestly, I had Mack considerably easier on Harry than I would have been…starship notwithstanding. I’m happy it worked out as well as it did.
The smack down will begin next chapter, Dumbledore has already signed his death warrant and Voldy has a date, somewhere EXTREMELY hot…and the Deez have an unexpected and rather unpleasant surprise awaiting them.
Until next time…
