This story never ceases to amaze me. You have once again included scenes from canon and have some how seamlessly incorporated them into your story. Truly amazing. The birds scene with hilarious. And then you add:
then Sirius continued, “Just bloody brilliant—scary, but brilliant!”
Amazing!!!

I completely forgot to comment on the 'bond' thing that Harry/Hermione did in the last chapter. Quite clever of Hermione stating to her mom that we don't do anything until we are properly bonded.

And they have even managed to pull one over on the great 'Maraunders'.
The Fred/George thing was soo funny. I can only imagine Harry and Ron running around not being able to do anything. To have this happen in front of their significant others as well. Priceless....
