Looking good and a lot happening here. Sounds like the wheels might be coming off Height's nasty little empire and Rita's defection could help a lot.
Be interesting when you tidy up to see Olivia meet up with her dad. Good that Darren turned out to be a good guy as well.
Pity they arrived when they did as it fouled up Hermione and Draco finally getting it together but they seemed to have done the important thing of sorting out the mix-up they made of their previous attempt to get together so it should be OK when they finally do.
I didn't find anything odd or cruel about the comment about Pansy and Lavender abilities. A bit inflated possibly but a clear sign of Draco's respect for their abilities.

Well that was an eventful chapter.
On the good side it looks like some of those children may have been rescued, although by implication that a lot more were less lucky.
Also that Draco was rescued from the Dementor attack, although not without a fair amount of damage being suffered. Rather surprising that so many mages were present at the right time but lucky.
On the down side, between them Draco and Hermione came close to a good sex session that would have helped them both but managed to get their wires crossed and messed it up.
Also if Luna has actually been kidnapped then that would be a hell of a shock, although its seems strange that the authorities are running a scheme not just for kidnapping mixed race children for abuse but also for kidnapping adults for sexual slavery and breeding. I would image as well she's such a high profile person with many powerful friends that the people responsible have to feel very confident or are really bloody stupid.
I suspect Rita has been encouraged to spread the lies about Hermione and Draco but that in itself is likely to bring some nasty pay-back.
What an amazing fic
can’t wait for more
Some new twists here. It does sound like some sort of sex/paedophile ring and glad Ron reacted as he did. Hopefully it would be dynamite in the case against Height but there is the danger with the fact a lot of rich and therefore probably powerful and influential people have bought those children and that the wizarding world is socially still very backwards it may not be decisive. However trying to help the children and finding out about the others, as this is one set of documents, probably not complete, from one of those 'schools' suggests there's a hell of a lot of other victims out there. That could be a hell of a task, especially with the secretive nature of so many wizard families.
Good if grim chapter.
Well a lot happening here, in a number of areas. Think you have made Molly, Ron and Ginny a little too 1-D villains for my tastes but definitely an interesting story. Like Draco helping out Tonks with her son.
Possibly Hermione didn't notice that 'love' in the last chapter as she seemed a little surprised by her own reaction to Draco's kiss but things are developing nicely there and the visit to Tonks for dinner is another way of getting him out of his shell.
Wonder what Harry will think of those pictures but I suspect he will be quite happy with the couple.
Well a fair number of events there. Given that George said all his family were social climbing monsters except for two brothers, and that another had died is he including his parents as well as Ron and Ginny? Sounds like there could be major Weasley family conflict developing. Also interesting that George seems to be such a good information source, both advicing Harry and then being suggested by Draco to Hermione.
So Pansy and Lavender are working together as PI's. That sounds like an interesting combination.
I wonder if that half-breed orphanage actually exists or whether all the children have had nasty accidents. Hope not but it could be the simplest solution for the people who don't want them around. :( It does seem to have given Hermione a purpose in life, which is a good think.
I noticed that Draco referred to Hermione as love and she was quite happy with the term, although whether Harry noticed I don't know.
There is of course one other simple way Harry could find clear evidence that Ginny was cheating on him, although it might not be accepted in the wizard world and its a way he would hate to find evidence. Getting a DNA check to confirm he's actually the father of his son.
Some interesting threads coming together here. Along with that Height seems to be a real evil piece of work.
Well that shows how much Hermione had been injured by the last few years. Also that Draco is possibly the best person to help as he's been through a similar ordeal. Their already started to thaw in their relationship with each other and trust as well. Looking promising.
Sounds like Harry is also starting to show some bottle as well.
Definately no problem with longer chapters either. )
I love this chapter!!!! I really enjoyed it when he got to the ministry and carried her out before his signature sneer. What an exit .... Oh, I swoon. I’m impatiently awaiting the next chapter.
