Voldemort is defeated. How are the death eaters powerful enough to capture Harry life that? Perhaps this is their Battle of the Bulge? Would Snape , both Malfoys , and Pettigrew survive the final battle? Wouldn't they be pursued if they did and be on the run? Would Malfoy still have his house? Would they be so free as to watch Harry's house so easily?
'they had slaughtered him' -- why a him, if he doesn't know the sex?
Interesting escape and chase; that is quite good. I feel no regret for the lose of heartless Malfoy. But too bad his wand is broken (I guess things can't be too easy for Harry ).

The way I see the Malfoys is in the end, they're only concerned with saving their own bums. I don't see them staying very long in battle if their side is losing. They got out of being accused Death Eaters once, what's to say they couldn't again. Scrimgeour is also corrupt as Fudge was.
About the "him" statement, what man doesn't expect his first child to be a male? Watch for that come the last chapter as well.
Thanks for the reviews! Another chapter should be up in a few days.
Interesting enough to be starting with except for a major plot error. No where in canon does it indicate that a wizard has to have his wand to Apparate. That is purely a device of fandom prior to the release of HBP, which tells us exactly how to Apparate (no wands required).

Yeah, but letting him Apparate without a wand wouldn't make much for the story, huh? It'd make his return too easy. I overlooked that fact just to develop the plot, otherwise I wouldn't have a story at all.
