More, soon....please update must read more.  Snape is going to be pissed when he finds out that Harry left.  I don't think this will bode well at all.  I don't think the necklace does extally as told in the stories. 

I think Harry is in for 3 things

1)Major dissapointment

2) A huge punishment

3) Getting ill and during the punishment.

Well, Harry still hasn't learned to curb his impulses, to put limits on his own behaviour and to *think* before he acts. Oh, he *thinks* allright, he thinks on how to do what he wants to do, but he doesn't think about wether what he wants is *right*. He doesn't think about *consequences*.

So he changed his appearances from dark to blonde, did he? He ended up looking like Draco Malfoy, perhaps? And since Snape increased his wards, he will not only bounce off them, but bounce right into Snape's waiting arms. Hm. Perhaps Harry will now learn that Snape has no trouble punishing Draco for trespassing?

On another note: if Harry stopped to think about that necklace for a minute, he would realise that if it really worked as he thinks/hopes it does, then Lucius Malfoy would have used it to change the past a long time ago: he could've travelled to the past and changed Voldemort's fate. Or Narcissa could have changed the past and kept Lucius out of Azkaban. So either neither Malfoy want to change these things or the necklace does not work the way Harry thinks it does. As usual with these kind of things, there are prices to pay and consequences to their use.

Harry really needs to talk to Snape. *After* a good tongue-lashing of course. Amongst other things :-)

I loved Snape's little speech and Harry's reaction to it. Harry is starting to get affected by Snape's lessons in civil behaviour, I'm glad to see. Good behaviour is it's own reward and a civil upbringing instills a internalized monitor (we usually call it our concience) which makes us feel guilty when we break the rules. I'm so glad Harry felt bad when Snape said "I'm very disappointed in you mr Potter". The old Harry wouldn't have cared less, I'm afraid... :-)
