great chapter!
interesting play by harry in front of the minister...i bet he pissed his pants...=P
liked the harry/hermione interaction at the end! it's good that harry talks to someone about his past...maybe he could take her to the room of requirements while he vents off some of his steam by hunting?? it would give her a good view of the darker aspects of being like harry...
maybe pair harry off with hermione, if she still wants to transform? would be nice...as he said "she amazes him.."
