Let me guess: The dead man Inspector Collins is investigating is some wizard judge or other ministry official (auror?) involved with Malfoy's case. The barrister Mowbray has killed him so he can use Polyjuice potion to impersonate him and arrange an escape for Malfoy. Rather interesting. I hope this doesn't throw too many kinks into Harry and Ginny's romance. Oh, and Penny and Ginny are going to see Malfoy again? Sounds foolish to me .
Just catching up on this story that everyone is raving about (justifiably) - just had to pause at this point to say I'm loving the story and - 'The Rampant Lion' - that's good , I get it, I get it! Thanks for entertaining me!
You are fabulous. You really are. Try to make it on happy note because I cannot take any tension any longer after all those parts. Please. You are amazing
Mystery abounds. Draco is to be kissed.An as unknown wizard is murdered for his I.D.,wand,and hair. Can it be a do-gooder from America ,a do-gooder from Britain,or some other place who wants to save Draco,or a Voldy wanna-be needing a new "look"??? This is really getting good. I shall surely print this fic out when completed to read at my leisure at various times.I am enjoying it immensely.Many thanks.Jeanne.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! The mystery will start to unravel soon, I promise. Excitment awaits. Thanks for the review!
Hee. I like to see Harry avoiding packing - typical male, lol! (I know that's sexist, but it's still the truth!)
I think my favorite part of the chapter was Harry taking Mr. Weasley out to dinner. He really is very sweet.

I'm moving in December. Hence, the inspiration for Harry. And that's all I've got to say on that... :D
I felt bad for Mr. Weasley at the end, after I set up the bit with Molly and Ginny going out. (Where, you ask? You'll find out next chapter.) And then Harry whispered in my ear and said, "I have too many galleons, let's spend some more."
Introducing the new bit of plot (or is it an extension of an old bit of plot) is great as well.
Love the interaction between Harry, Ginny and Hermione.
Only thing I can complain about is the frequency of coincidences that
your story has. Ginny is there, then she's not at the burrow, then she
is somewhere else. It sounds a bit too contrived. This is a minor
complain though, especially when taken into consideration against the
great writing and character developments you've done.

Old plot? New plot? We'll see.... *cue evil laugh*
I suppose you have a point about the Dues ex Machina, as I look back. I'll try to be more careful with it in the future to make things seem more natural.
