You're setting the ferret up for something, I can tell. OK, I've read ahead and already know, but I could tell the first time that he was going to come to some sort of trouble.
Nice party you've thrown here.

Re-reading this chapter for the I-can't remember-how-many-th time, and I still think it's great. You did miss what I thought could have been a priceless opportunity for ferret-bashing, though. Call what follows an Omake:
"Oh, and what could the great Golden Boy do to a Slytherin Lord such as myself in the great Salazar Slytherin’s own Chamber?" As Draco said this, he casually drew his wand. Nobody ever said that he was the sharpest tool in the shed.
Harry held out his right arm and a flash of light lit the Chamber and then solidified into the form of a familiar weapon, which he grabbed out of the air and held high.
"Well, I could always do what I did to the great Salazar's little pet four years ago," he said, scorn dripping from every word, "and ram the Sword of Godric Gryffindor into your gullet and up through your brain. Or I could just warn you that you will find this Chamber is protected now from all darkness and ill intent." [...]
And so on. I know, I know, I have a nasty mind, but IMO, one can never have too much Slythergit-bashing. ;-)

Love it. I do love when readers are inspired with ideas. I do have plans for Draco that will surface later.

Absolutely wonder fic you have here. You have me enchanted with the Chamber and the teleportation pads set up around Hogwarts.
Harry has really grown in the few months he has been at Hogwarts. In fact, he may have matured a bit more than I expected. Certainly, the pretty red head has him entranced, and may be helping him grow up.
Good job. Thanks for sharing the story.

*sigh* Will Ron get a clue about girls before it becomes to late? And Malfoy always has to ruin the fun . . . Ah well, those are the elements that speak of a good storywriter!

This is just terrific! To have them enter the horrific Chamber of Secrets as it once looked and then have it transform to its new look. That was great. I really liked the little look into the house elves ways of doing things. That was an eye opener. It was great that they included Mrs. Weasley into the people they honor. That was a nice touch.
Of course Draco Malfoy had to be a flea in the soup! He just can't let sleeping dogs lie can he? I like the way that Harry dealt with the problem. I really liked the way he dealt with Remus. That was cool including the puppy dog eyes. Of course the finishing touch was Ron's appetite and Hermione's reaction to his hunger and derogatory remarks about the 1st and 2nd year students. A masterful treatment of the Ball! Thanks for writing it. pms

I was so hoping to see Draco shot out of the Chamber of Secrets up through the dirty slide into Myrtle's bathroom, getting filthier all along the way.
Well, the ball isn't over yet. We live in hope.

I think you might like his fate. Even if it isn't balistic in nature.

It shouldn't be too much longer before Hermione figures it out . . . I look forward to that revelation . . . love the party so far. Keep up the good work

Yes, it won't take too many clues for Hermione to figure it out, but she has to be presented the clues, and that doesn't happen every day. How do you imagine Hermione's reaction to Harry having knowledge of the crests and her not? (Just sewing seeds)
