Another fabulous chapter. I love all of the angst. This is a brilliant chapter. So happy Harry is gaining some semblance of himself back. Re-readings the story for the millionth time. Excited for the next chapter, whenever that is. Good luck with real life. I know how that goes.

Unfortunately I think for harry he will lose the ground made when Ginny walks out the door, and I have a feeling they are both going to be home school before the end of September with harry basically relearning everything he has learn for the last 4 years….. kutgw and good luck with the upcoming school year.

Great update! Good luck with the classroom preparations. Could another Healer look in on Harry? I mean, if Madam Pomfrey isn't real and upsets him, what about Andromeda or Ted Tonks? Both healed him after he and Hagrid crashed in Dh, so they have some skills and are part of the Order. I wonder if Harry could accept someone with no connection at all as "real" as he did with Kingsley and Tonks better than someone who he's actively mistrusting?

I LOVED Tonks transforming into Voldemort. OMG, I've never seen this before, but it's brilliant and hilarious at the same time.

Still don't trust Snape - never will. I know he's on Dumbledore's side, but I don't think he'd ever go out of his way to ensure Harry's emotional well being after all the times he's harmed it anyway.

I was curious by Sirius mentioning that caring for Harry helped him come back to himself. Perhaps Harry needs something to do to occupy his mind. Where's Hedwig? Or maybe get him a cat that would bring some comfort?

This will stay in my head, pondering, until September, so here's hoping life goes smoothly for you to make it sooner rather than later!
