Hogwarts magic. Answers my question of how on earth Juno and Harry find out from last chapter. Should’ve thought of the portraits.
Like Harry realizing his and Juno’s power, unchecked, will breed horrific consequences. Curious if they’ll clash before the end. Juno’s a Dark Witch and that means something. For all that she loves him, she lacks Harry’s goodness. Harry tends to acquiesce to her way of thinking, so his mild pushback reads well here.
Notes:
1. Dumbledore’s eyes shouldn’t be twinkling in death. He’s somber. He lost, and his allies are now at a significant disadvantage due to his carelessness. He doesn’t need to be tripping over himself apologizing, but twinkling eyes are weird.
2. Narcissa’s stutter. She’s tired, she’s terrified, and she’s a grown witch who’s of House Black and the lady of another house. Stuttering is out of character for someone with her history. You’d sooner expect her to flee rather than stutter in the face of who was in the room.
3. While Harry should 100% be the one to convert Narcissa, his speech is flat. Their cause is currently hopeless and he provided none, just encouragement to fight for her children. Appealing to her as a mother makes sense. She should fight for her children, but if she’s on the brink of collapse that alone isn’t bringing her back. Harry needs to inspire hope; that’s his entire role in both canon and in CoF via the DA and even Juno. He makes people want to be better than they are. Invoking Lily, who’s magic brought Voldemort low the first time, might play well there.
4. Regardless of how hopeful or full of resolve Harry’s pep talk ends up, Narcissa “smiling brightly” at the end doesn’t fit the moment. Resolved, motivated, etc. but not bright.
Thanks for writing, excited as always for the next.
