This chapter was good on all fronts. No more Malfoys is a good thing. I look forward to Voldemort's ultimate destruction.A Fist Full of Galleons

Excellent update, though I'm frankly fed up with Remus/Tonks. It isn't a sensible enough pairing to just throw them together as an afterthought like that, so unless you're going to take the time to develop them into a real relationship (for my satisfaction, it has to be done far better than JKR managed), then don't even bother with them. There are less cliche ways of making the pair of them happy.
Looking forward to more, in spite of what my negativity might lead you to believe.A Fist Full of Galleons

Well it looks like all of the people close to Harry have decided to leave Great Britain for good, once Voldemort's been dealt with. Given that all of the corrupt and bigotted purebloods - in Britain's Minstry of Magic - that have been exposed during this story are being replaced by conservative purebloods who are (more) honest, I can't entirely blame them for giving up on the country.
"The Gang" making a profit off capturing Death Eaters, put a smile on my face. If you can act out of enlightened self-intrest and make a profit while doing so, why not?
I wonder if the technomages - with assistance from "The Gang" - has set up missle batteries by each of the isolated Death Eater safehouses (and just relay Harry's signal to the right one, when the time comes), or if they're going to somehow Portkey the missile laucher(s) to the right location just before the attack?
I don't feel any sympathy for Draco Malfoy. This story's version of the character earned anything he got with the attack on Herminone and Ron.
For that matter, I think he got off far too lightly in the books. As far as I'm concerned, the only "virtue" Draco showed in HBP and DH is that he loves his parents. He struck me as the type of person who would gladly give money and use his influence to support "the cause", but doesn't have the stomach to get his hands dirty for it. Which, if anything, makes him more contemptable (IMO) than a homicidal lunatic like Bellatrix. Because at least she's willing to do anything and give everying for "the cause".
I think, however, that there may be some timeline issue with this chapter.
Late April: Nagini can be tracked; Aurors start raiding Death Eater safehouses.
Early June: Aurors have raided six Death Eater safehouses by this time.
Late June: Aurors, while raiding the fourth Death Eater safehouse they have become aware of, find Draco Malfoy.
"Three Weeks later"/(Late July?): Draco Malfoy (what's left of him) is turned over to his mother.
Late May: Nagini is killed; Harry pushes the button onA Fist Full of Galleons

(This is a correction of the last part of my previous review. Sorry.)
Late May: Nagini is killed; Harry pushes the button to launch the missiles at the safehouse currently holding Voldemort and over 20 Death Eaters.A Fist Full of Galleons

The Clueless -- the raids on the DE houses were late April to early June. I then finished off the Malfoy story line before going back to early June. Sorry if that wasn't clearA Fist Full of Galleons
