So Lupin's visit could have gone better, but Harry is right. That does explain why Lupin has been so miserable, but it wasn't really a surprise that it was a werewolf thing, with Lupin it's always a werewolf thing.

I was sort of envisioning that the ministry had been dissolved, but a silent coup makes more sense. I should have figured that out from the conversation in the first chapter. Anyway, that sort of explains why the others are being watched instead of being hunted. They have to give some illusion of the ministry still being the ministry.

I've found out that Snape is now the headmaster. Once again, one year for the DADA teacher. However, I'm not sure about the cleverness of Hermione stuffing the portrait of Finneus into her handbag of holding. Wouldn't that sort of give away there position. How about just closing the door to his room? He could hear things I suppose, but at least they wouldn't be carrying him around with them all the time. Having that portrait with them seems dangerous.

Kreature has brought back Mundungous. I love "Just one more, for luck". I starting to really like Kreature, well I've always liked Kreature, I suppose I just like him in another way. So Umbrage has the locket, another character I've always liked since she is so wonderfully vile.

All those Death-Eaters outside are really confirming the Snape is a good guy position. The only way it makes sense that Snape hasn't gone in Grimwald place or given the secret is if he sold Voldemort some story of how he couldn't enter the place or reveal the secret. I'm sure Snape can enter, and I'm pretty sure he could give away the secret if he wanted to.

I like how Harry makes the decision to act on going into the Ministry. Ron and Herminone seem ready to prepare indefinitely and it takes Harry to make speculation into reality.

I'm leaving off with the start of another vision. Voldemort is still off looking for Gregorivich apparently.

Harry finished his vision when Voldemort killing a woman shielding her children. I'm thinking Harry is wrong about Voldemort killing her whole family, because been there, done that, had his body destroyed. Maybe Voldemort will find Gregorivich soon and I'll find out what's up with Harry's wand.

The ministry infiltration has begun. I'm amused by how many W.W.W. products Hermione has packed in her bag of holding, the twins are like Harry's Q. Personally, I think flushing yourself to work would be bad for morale. The new ministry sculpture is pretty sick.

So far the plan has gone like one of Mal's plans. Right now Ron is trying to fix the office of rain, Hermione is off with Umbrage, and Harry is wandering about the administrative offices. The minister I guess is still imperioused, but he seems very natural talking about catching Arthur in an act of subversion. I suppose it's not a very important point.

As I left off, Harry has inspected a pamphlet and discovered Moody's eye on Umbrage's door. The whole eye thing is pretty vile, but then Umbrage wouldn't be Umbrage without be vile.

Har. And yet some days at my job...

So far the plan has gone like one of Mal's plans.

double HAR! I find myself looking forward to your posts every day, Gud.

Hypothetical Dialouge:

Ron: What are we going to do?

Hermione: I expect Harry has a plan.

Ron: Thank God.

Hermione: It's possible you don't recall Harry's other plans.

Hee hee hee hee. Anxiously awaiting more as the story unfolds.

Spoiler: Harry kicks Draco into a spaceship engine!

I forget, did he say "Ooops!" right after that?

Well, Harry has gone in Umbrage's office and he found Arthur's file. No news there, he already knew that the Weasley's were being watched. Also, Ron's cover story has worked perfectly. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore appears yet again. It sounds like Dumbledore's childhood friend could be important as well. I find it amusing about how little suspicion the decoy detonator causes.

The elevator ride with Arthur and Percy was a bit awkward. I thought Harry did a nice job of warning Arthur, but I imagine that the news wasn't a surprise. Arthur doesn't appear to be intimidated by anyone except Molly. To be fair though, I don't think anyone couldn't be intimidated by Molly when she's in full temper.

The Department of Mysteries makes it's first appearance, although it isn't Harry's destination yet. Anyhow, the hearings sound pretty horrific. Hermione once again shows good thinking (unlike with Finnius' portrait) with the replacement locket. The plan of leading a whole bunch of accused people out of the ministry doesn't seem well conceived to me, but sometimes you have to chose between what is right and what is easy.

I left off at the point where Harry has stopped them from sealing the exits and the muggleborns are evacuating. The real Reg has shown up and my commute ended at an inopprotune time.

I love it so much when Gud says something really prophetic and he doesn't know it, but we do!

I love these summaries, Gud.
