Alla:

I have only couple moments to mention from this chapter which I was 
thinking about in light of DH, but please as always feel free to add 
your own moments if you see something from the chapter differently 
after seventh book.

"Did you hear about Florean Fortescue, Remus?" asked Bill, who was 
being plied with wine by Fleur. "The man who ran_"
"--the ice-cream place in Diagon Alley?" Harry interrupted, with an 
unpleasant, hollow  sensation in the pit of his stomach. "He used to 
give me free ice creams. What's happened to him?"
"Dragged off, by the look of his place" 
"Why?" asked Ron, while Mrs. Weasley pointedly glared  at Bill.
"Who knows ? He must've upset them somehow. He was a good man, 
Florean." - p.106


Alla:

This quote is one of the reasons why I never thought that Muggleborns 
without wands in DH or any other pictures of destruction and war were 
sloppily done or anything like that. I find this quote to be one of 
the most chilling in the book and beatifully beatifully IMO showing 
how the war came so close and knocked on everybody's door.

I do not know what I found the most upsetting here, but probably the 
matter of fact way Bill speaks about his fate.



"No?" said Malfoy, and Harry knew just by his tone, that Malfoy was 
sneering. "Perhaps this will make you more confident." - p.125


Alla:

So what's the verdict? Does he have a mark or does he not?
