As Harry makes his way through his trunk and reads his newspaper, he is also forced to reckon with the fact that he is now a magic school dropout. Hedwig is trapped in her cage (moment of silence), the validity of Elphias Doge’s friendship with Dumbledore is questioned, and Harry realizes that his education has failed him. But at least he can do maths and stuff! Finally, Alice and Martha come to a surprising conclusion about the Dursleys’ childrearing style.

Wow, congrats on the move, Martha! A year and a half late but congrats regardless.
I remember JK Rowling saying that she liked the fact that Harry had the map so that he could look at Ginny’s dot. But yes, it would be way more useful with an actual student.
I loved the way you talked about how out of character ‘the greater good’ line was. I didn’t even think about it!
I’m surprised that such a bottle/recap chapter ran for so long!
