Nice chapter! I'm sorry real life has been kicking you around, but I enjoyed this one. I particularly liked seeing Harry refer to Dumbledore with some fondness. I'm willing to give the younger Slytherins a chance, but I'm not buying into the idea Malfoy doesn't mean trouble. He is a Death Eater, and I've always thought the Slytherins from Harry's year were a rotten lot as a whole. Doesn't condemn the entire house, just the particular year of them.

Author's Response: Thank you! Malfoy is... well, he's Malfoy. I've not written him causing trouble just yet, but it's coming in the days following Christmas hols. It'll either be chapter 41, or chapter 42 as I've planned things at this point. Gonna start writing chapter 41 today and see if it works with everything else I've also got slated for that chapter or not. I'm trying to keep things a bit fluid as I go, you know? Anyway, thanks for the review!

This chapter felt like one of Professor Lupin's classes where everyone was given the chance to speak their mind, learn why practicing the practical part of Defense is important, and listen to others in an environment meant to foster unity amongst all houses. I really liked it that Draco seems to respect the seventh year Slytherin who acted as the spokesperson for their house. It was also good of Ron to acknowledge the help Hermione had provided in the form of her outline. Well done! I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I remember this behind-the-scenes video about the DA in the OotP movie where they discussed Harry taking after Lupin in both dress and demeanor, and that really influenced me, I think. Harry's had more experience with teaching by this point, so he's definitely more confident. Add in that it isn't an illegal group anymore, and I think you can get a great thing going! I've read some interesting fics that delve into hierarchy within Slytherin house, and I liked the idea that there's someone in the house each year with the most power, or the one who's voice is the final authority outside of Snape. Ron's been learning a lot about compliments from that book Bill gave him forever ago (what was that, chapter 9? 10?), and I've been working to filter in little moments where it's clear that he's taking the book to heart and trying harder. Anyway, thanks again!

Ah I figure Draco will screw it up eventually even with McGonagall there....kutgw

Author's Response: Ha ha Draco is quite the infuriating character, isn't he? You'll have to see how things go. Thank you!

So glad you decided to keep with this because it's a terrific story!! Really good DA meeting and nice to see Slytherin students involved
even tho some of them are bums! The super six, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermoine, Neville and Luna were at the top of their game and
they handled the questions well If I had been MInerva I'd have given each of them 20 pts! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Author's Response: Thanks! This was one of those chapters that just flowed from start to finish with very little editing to make it what I wanted. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Great chapter. I loved that Slytherin students came.

Author's Response: Thank you! I knew once I came up with this idea that the Slytherin students would show up out of curiosity more than anything else.
