I loved this bit. I adore the whole Zabini/Blavatsky family and I loved the return of Blaise's appallingly nosy bathroom mirror and I especially love your Harry. This is a terrific incarnation of Harry in the future. So many authors make him into a one note character, hero or villian, but your Harry is brilliant multi-faceted. I know he's not your favorite character, but you write him very well, this--He was devious, backhanded, and sarcastic enough to amuse Blaise on occasion, but he seemed to do the right thing, not out of any pressing desire, but just because he could. so perfectly captures all of the many sides to Harry's personality.
