Excellent chapter. I particularly liked how you made the scene between Luna and Draco so strained. I really felt for Draco worrying about what he had done to Luna.
Nice twist as well, I originally thought Draco would be the betrayer but it looks as though Luna is the one who does that.
The order meeting was good, even though I think your idea of Hermione being accepted is a good one, I don't think it would ever happen and is most definitely out of canon for some of the characters! I know, I know its massive AU but thats what I feel. I like the concept though.
Write more please, your a great writer!

Luna's vision was at once horrendous and beautiful. Poor Draco. I love the idea of the Phantom of the Opera singing. I'm thinking that maybe Luna will go with Lucius as some sort of spy perhaps or under Imperius (which is the obvious one). My jaw dropped at the possible Slytherins line. Worried as I am about Hagrid, I had to grin at the pack line. More please. Excellent chapter. This story just gets better and better, though I think more improvement is going to be impossible soon.

Enjoyed this chapter, although precious little transpired. This appears to be a transitional chapter.
The scene with Draco, Lucius, and Luna was very interesting - I look forward to seeing how that pans out in the future.

Great chapter. I've been a fan ever since the beginning of the series but this is my first review.
I really don't think Luna's vision is what they assume it to be. When has Lucius Malfoy ever approved of singing? And he calls Luna 'Snowbird' and 'my lady', both are Draco's pet names for her. It sounds more like Draco to me.
Or maybe I just don't want Draco to die.
Keep up the good work!

I love it, love it, love it!!!! I have been reading Dangerverse since the kids where in third year, and I have to tell you each chapter is better then the last. I can't wait to read the next installment, what will happen with Corona, is she sincere or will she betray the Order? I just can't wait to find out!!!

Oooh, another good original character :-) I like her, and it's always good to see a nice Slytherin. I also like your purebloods' names. They fit tradition nicely.
Hehe. The Pack'll be back together on my birthday! Yay!
Clever Neenie - that was the perfect thing to say in her first Order meeting.
"Could [the Twins] finally be starting to grow up?" Gah! There's a scary thought :-)
"Things happen," Draco said. "And even people who are strong can die."The Cubs're too grown up, you know. All of the Pride are, poor things. At least they've got each other, and the Marauders and Twins to keep them childish.
One of my favourite lines:this is beautiful, but he could kill you...
Why would Luna say she doesn't love Draco, and going off with his murderer? Is she pulling a Snape (spying)? Or maybe she thinks Voldemort can help her use dark magic to bring back the dead. I won't cry, because it won't happen. It won't, it won't, it won't. (Hoping if I say it enough times, it'll come true.)
Looking forward muchly to next chapter, as per usual.

some very nice progress in thing -thanks - and I quite liked the way you have shown that not each and every member of the pure-bloods is a rotter

I never would have suspected Luna! I of course, along with everyone else thought it would be Draco. What a surprise. Of course I couldn't imagine Luna or Draco going with Lucius. That is just wrong. I'm glad Luna told
Draco. At least now there is some chance of avoiding the seer prognosis. I'm glad Harry knows when he gets to leave the Durseley's. At least he has something to look forward to. What a surprise! I can't imagine Sirius bringing home a pure blood witch! That is going to be interesting. I look forward to the next chapter. Thanks for writing. pms

No kill Draco! Bad dog no biscuit!
Okay I'm channelling Accidentally in Love as my personal "proof" that this is a hoax on ol Malfoy.
Phenominal as always :)

I absolutely loved the chapter, Anne! I'm really glad Sirius' efforts were completely wasted, and he got at least Corona. I can't wait to read more!

That was good. I didn't cry during the vision. I freaked out a little and I'm still swimming in denile. So, to me in my stubborn head, it's not going to happen. Great chapter. I'm glad that Harry's finally going to be able to get home. Sirius too, I hope. He seems to have managed to find one person who wants to fight Voldemort. Cheers.
