It's the old "Harry Potter does it when he absolutely has to" trick!
Nice that he finally got control (mostly) of his animagus. Now he can get on with other things. Calling Chico "little meat" was funny.
Nice (sort of) to hear about events back in England. Sorry that Luna is being the ministry's target, though. In stories like this, after the war I expect Harry (and in this case Luna) to just leave the country. She might leave before hand, if they cannot keep publishing the Quibbler there.
Good story. Looking forward to more. Thanks for sharing it!

Well that trick is tried and true. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. The next one will be out this week.~Jim
