Such an awesome, action packed chapter! I loved the interaction between Ron and Draco at the Manor but my FAVOURITE part was this:
“Ha ha, Weasley, you slay me,” Draco said flatly, and when he stepped into view looking, for the most part, perfectly well and unharmed, Harry felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
“Malfoy,” he breathed. Draco only had time to blink at him before Harry was lunging forward and throwing his arms around the other boy’s shoulders. “Shit,” he mumbled. “Shit. I wasn’t sure if – the Death Eaters have been saying – Merlin, I am so glad to see you.”
Draco blinked again, and then slowly brought his arms up to circle Harry’s waist. “Oh?” he said, his voice shaking a bit.
Harry pulled back slightly so he could look Draco in the eyes, absently brushing away some of the hair that had somehow managed to escape its gelled prison and fall into Draco’s face. “Are you okay?” he asked, pulling back half a step further to look him over completely. “Voldemort didn’t do anything to you, did he? No crazy werewolf gashes? You’re alright?”
Draco nodded dumbly at him, and Harry let out a long breath before hugging Draco tightly again.
Somewhere off to the side, Ron awkwardly cleared his throat. “I’m okay, too,” he said loudly. “You know, in case anyone was wondering.”
Ginny is back?!?!?!?!? worst timing ever oh no! very excited for the next chapter :D
