Good for Hermione. I'm glad she came to her senses. Now she has to convince Harry and Ron that she is sincere about it. I can see that Hadwyn and Sirius are going to be a fun pair. I'd put my money on Hadwyn besting Sirius though.
Poor Harry - so certain that Severus would desert him after the accidental magic episode. The scene between them, where Harry said he didn't have to do anything to get Snape to love and accept him as opposed to the Dursleys, was such a poignant discussion. Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Hadwyn is having all kinds of adventures. I bet he had no idea what he was in for when he agreed.
Lots of action in this chapter. Sirius unmasked to the surprise of Albus and Harry's panic. It must have been a long day for Harry and Severus and they must be exhausted.
I loved Hadwyn's letter - it left me laughing. Clearly, Hadwyn is learning all about interhouse quidditch matches. I especially liked the last line about hiring the Weasleys to help him keep an eye on the 2 Slytherin girls. The situation with Harry has been so sad and difficult that the humor was a nice change of pace.
I thought that Harry would end up with a beautiful room. The mural sounded really neat and the safe place should help him feel even more secure. Nice that he wanted Severus to have access, too.
Hadwyn's cabin should be a nice, peaceful place where Harry can begin to recover. He needs to be away from people so that should fit the bill. His new room should be beautiful with the lake view.
Go Snitch. Severus must be glad that they have him. Snape wouldn't have been able to get Harry help on his own.
I'm glad that Harry finally wrote to his friends. Ron, interestingly enough, seems to be acting as the more sensible one. Hermione deserved the angry letter and, hopefully, will finally lay off. Severus' list of student to watch was interesting and I look forward to some of Hadwyn's experiences with them.
From the sound of it, Hermione may have been put off but Harry and Severus will have to leave Hogwarts for Hadwyn's cabin sooner than they thought.
The scene where Harry names Snitch was fun. I liked the loris' reaction to the names that he didn't approve of. And Hermione is back and confronting Dumbledore, no less. This should be good.
