omg, Harry is being really, really stupid! The parents of those children he killed would be much more inclined to forgive him if he showed any of the deep emotions he stuffs away as he confronts them. If his voice shook and his body sagged and his eyes were tear-filled they'd see that doing what he did hurt him deeply, as well. But the cool, controlled exterior he displays now only serves to make him look heartless.
His own reasoning that he would break if he let his emotions out is a flawed one, at best.

Anyway, I think it'S time to call on Rita Skeeter again. She could make him look good even while he's confessing his crimes.

What I don't get is why Harry doesn't simply Vanish Voldemort's "dragon". He's not a living thing. It should be much easier than actually willing a living creature out of existence. And Voldemort would be unable to do anything since Harry would be acting on sheer force of will.

Good, Harry found another way to rescue Draco. Thank you, Connor!
Anyway, if Harry needs another container for the power he sucks from his enemies he could always simply SUMMON some more stones or whatever!

I think the numbers here are a bit unrealistic. 500 death eaters are a lot, but 80 dead students is an unrealistically high toll at this point. After all, about 50 death eaters died before the battle began, and approximately 2/3 of them are BLIND and therefore defenceless, easy prey even for students and not much of a danger. That leaves 150 death eaters, of which something like 30 men have been trampled by giants. Leaves 120 and since there are some extremely good fighters among the defenders of Hogwards, you can count on students taking down more than one death eater ere they fall themselves. BESIDES Harry has been draining the death eaters, so of the 120 remaining, 100 are probably squibs by now and therefore NOT A THREAT either! There's no way that 20 death eaters could kill over 80 TRAINED students. (It's not like they are defenceless children).

Harry's friends and allies die far to quickly. Pansy was still so young! Why did you kill her off now? I cried when you did.

It's not right at all to try and justify what Harry has done. He DID kill those people so he IS at fault. Sure, Voldemort forced his hand somewhat but he's still a murderer. Euthanasia is an act of strength and mercy, true, but it's still a killing. Harry did turn into a murderer. He is right in comparing himself to Dumbledore. Just because he'S Harry and feels bad about it doesn't make it right or any different form what Dumbledore used to do.
Anyway, what kind of word "mercy-kill"?! You could say he "put them out of their misery" or whatever. But "mercy-kill"?

oh, god! The simple vision of Harry just saying "oh." after discovering that Blaise betrayed him and then turning to seek comfort in Severus' closeness is heart-breaking. Such a powerful image!

well, I can tell Harry he made the WRONG choice in killing 12 innocent children! What's gotten into him?! His status as vates is certainly negated now since it definitely wasn't the free will of those children to die. Besides, if Harry had just turned his back on Voldemort and had ignored him, Voldemort would most certainly have killed the children in an instant, as well, having no time to play with them while Harry was destroying his death eaters - thereby sparing Harry the idiotic choice of becoming a true murderer.

I find it highly dangerous to invent such a vision in his divinations exam! He shouldn't be aiming to meet trouble halfway. He's calling down bad luck on him through doing so. This is not a matter of jest!

Aw, why didn'T you write the scene where Harry comforts Snape after this traumatic experience with werewolfs? I would have loved to read that!
Anyway, Draco and Harry are kind of engaged now, aren't they. At 15! Congrats.

I'm so happy for both Snape and Harry, but especially for Snape! He should be honest and emotional more often.

Hey, THAT’s an interesting thought: if Voldemort is blind, can he still do Legilimency? From what you wrote so far it’s impossible. Eye-contact is an absolute requirement and since Voldemort can’t see…
Anyway, what Regulus did was really ugly but it redeems him a bit that he suffers so much from his bad conscience. I hope he finds what he’S looking for in that pictures.

Woah, Millicent is pretty straightforward. I don’T think she’s in love with this guy Pierre but she seems to like him alright. Still, rushing into a commitment like this is unwise. He could have hidden interests concerning Harry. That is, after all, why Millicent gets so much attention all of a sudden.

And I wonder what it there was between Regulus and Severus. They certainly seem very good friends if Severus is able to trust Regulus so completely and let himself go in his company. But certain small pieces of evidence point in the direction of something deeper, a long time ago… well, we’ll see.

Hm, somehow I don't think that the Snake is uprooted yet.

LOVE YOUR STORIES! HAVE BEEN READING THE SERIES AND THEY ARE AMAZING!

To be honest, I'm thankful to Voldemort in a way. Snape was ready to lay down his life for Harry, to protect his adopted son the only way he could think of - and Voldemort prevented his death! Moments later Harry arrived and saved the day. It would have been horrible to have Snape die for nothing. Now he's alive and recovering - and all because of Voldemort (the "alive" part as much as the "need for recovering" one).

well, maybe after they are through with this ordeal, Snape is able to acknowledge just HOW strong Harry really is. Snape is giving up under torture. Harry never did. The closest thing he came to giving up was going mad. But he even resisted that.
