Actually, I thought about it.  But then I decided no, expulsion is rare, and they wouldn't do it for what could be considered a cruel prank, after all the Marauders were never expelled for what they did to Severus. So they have detention with Snape, which could be considered worse than expulsion . . .LOL.

I'm glad Draco is part of their family too and as for Magik , you'll see.

They should, it's not like they don't have decent role models.

Holly's two brothers will be able to protect her, or get her into mischief too! Thanks!

Neither can I.  Used to volunteer at a humane society and some of the poor things . . .ah, I won't go there.

Yes, the kids are finally getting along, although they will quarrel on occasion, it won't be too bad.

Thanks.  I always felt Slytherin got the short end of the stick, since it was the House that Voldy came from and had a bad rep for that, plus they were the ambitious House, which is a quality that some people look down on, and had a snake for their symbol, which can sometimes be seen as being an "evil" animal.  And I think a lot of people overlooked the fact that Peter pettigrew--a Death Eater--was in gryffindor--so they're not all perfect.  I suppose it was assumed that because the Golden trio was in Gryffindor, it was the "good" House, but the Marauders were horrid bullies and I'd like to know how the heck they changed from tormenting students to suddenly being defenders of the weak.  It always got me that it was never explained, because in my experience, kids who bully grow up to be bullies unless something happens to make them totally have an attitude adjustment. 

I think it would have been better if JKR had made Harry have friends from ALL the Houses, so then you could see that there was good and bad in each House. 

As for Throckie, well he's going down.  Be assured of that one, because no one escapes Snape!  Working on the next chapter now!
