I'm proud of him, too. I thought he was going to lose it when I went into writing the chapter, but as you saw he had other ideas. Molly knows how Severus can be towards students so it would be unrealistic if she didn't make sure Harry was okay with Severus, though I don't doubt it won't be the last time Harry has to answer those questions. 

I don't know about a "real fight" as in throwing punches, but the Order meeting will be very tense and I'm sure Severus will have much to say. Maybe our drunk friend, Remus, will even throw in a punch though it might have nothing to do with the current predicament. lol. Writing Remus as drunk was really just a sudden decision when I was writing it and now I'm happy that popped up in my mind because I get to have a little fun and play with that.

Ugh, I don't think fun will cover Black Friday though I get to work what essentially is opening which is good though I do have to close the following day. I swear closing that weekend is torture. I had to close last year on Black Friday and the following Saturday and Sunday. Black Friday I was stuck at the mens denim walls for like six hours and it was pure torture having to refold hundreds of pair of jeans and try to get the walls looking somewhat presentable.  

Wow, you have parts memorized? I don't think I even have parts memorized. lol. 

Yay for extra squiggles. I'm sure there'll be more to come.

Word for word that's what you were told? That's awesome. Well, not about your grandma, but that I basically nailed in it a believable way. Grandmas can be crazy, at least one of mine is in a good way and I can totally see a grandma not caring about anyone else's reactions. Harry, though, well he's a teenager and at the stage where he's naturally self-conscious, but I think his upbringing made him more self-conscious than a lot of guys.

About the meeting, Dumbledore will be enough, but remember there's a drunken Lupin that might cause some of his own fireworks. Of course, in his drunkenness they could be about anything. lol.

Honestly, I didn't know i was going to end the chapter there, and then that line popped into my head, and it was like that's the end of the chapter. Sev will never let his teenage son fight Voldemort. I don't even think he'd let Harry fight him after he came of age. lol. Part of it is protectiveness, but I also think Sev knows he's done more than enough for the war, and with his son is where he's going to draw the line.

I'm so glad it's smooth to read for you. Sometimes it's hard to balance the facts and not overload you with them, so I'm glad you aren't feeling overwhelmed by information. lol. And yay for learning. I love learning stuff when I read, so I guess I like to pass that on. Thanks! 

Yay, someone actually didn't mind the cliffy too much. :)

Dumbledore is totally going to have his plans backfire on him. It's going to be fun to write. I'm sure Sev's temper has been lying in wait, just waiting for an excuse to explode.

I'm happy that little reference made you smile. I've been having a rather exhausting and stressful week. Well, I worked/had class six days in a row and then by Monday when I had a complete day off I was just emotionally exhausted, so I've been kinda chilling the past few days. Well, except for last night where I had a mini-freak out realizing that it's already November and my grad school applications need to be in soon. I thought I'd need to write a paper to send in to some of them, but thankfully it's not as bad as I thought. Most of the deadlines are a few weeks later than I thought, and I started my GRE studying this week with a bit more of success than I initially thought. Now, I just need to continue my GRE studying and figure out what scenes/excerpts I want to use for my fiction submissions.

As you can guess by this reply, the chapter hasn't even been started yet. *sighs* I hope to work on it some tonight if Game 6 of the World Series doesn't last all night.
