Hello nota bene,
short chapter here. Poor Harry's having a hard time, isn't he? Wonder what happened to him, but Im sure you'll let us know in good time (hopefully).
I'm not sure Ron would use a phrase like '...the guy's a jerk' - too American for a boy born and raised in England. Wizards won't have telly (T.V.) - especially a pure-blood family like the Weasleys (unless Arthur's got one stuck in the shed - in which case he's probably disembowelled it to see how it works, haha!) - so Americanisms (as cool as they are) would probably be nowhere near as prevalent in Wizarding society as they are in our own. Perhaps a suggestion? Ron would probably say; '...the bloke's a greasy git', or '...he's a complete prat'.
Other than that, I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter to see what (if anything) Snape discovers in Harry's mind. And I'm curious to know how Harry coped in such close proximity to his friends, after their presence on the hospital ward sent him into meltdown...
Thanks for the chapter,
Kara's Aunty ;)
