Most post=OotP stories have Harry back in good stead with Dumbledore too soon or they have an insurmountable breach.
I know you do a fine job of showing the breach but allowing it to be healed slowly and realistically.
Great Chappie.

You know, this is such a cool story. I really like the idea of Tonks being an unspeakable - and dragging Harry into the same. Dumbledore is a manipulative fool, totally unable to see past his own crooked nose. It makes sense in regard to canon that he did what he did, but... urgh. I do wonder what will happen when Harry eventually learns that he started breaking his promise the moment Harry walked out the door.
Welcome to ffa, btw - not that I have anything to say here, but it's nice to see a new author, as I know the story has to be good for you to be here.
Cheers!

Everyone is saying that Harry's mental age is much greater than his true age. Judging from his rather petty outbursts, I would say that is false. Harry is in fact sounding his age. If Harry was actually mentally mature, he wouldn't be getting so inflamed all the time because "he's not controlling his own life". LOL, all his money and fame really makes the classic parent defense against uppity teenagers fail... you know the one... If you are such a big man and can take care of yourself, why dont you just move out and support yourself. You can get a nice blue collar job and start your life...
Really, you are trying to convince your readers that Harry is mentally old (just because he's seen people die.... cough bullshit cough) and its failing miserably. If Harry were mentally mature he would accept his chosen responsibilities like a man and not be such a little whiny bitch all the time because he didnt have enough hugs as a child and because the headmaster of the school "lied" to him. What a load of shit.
Other than the blaring incosistancies stated above and the rather cliched word for word dumbledore bashing, i like your characterization of Tonks and your system of the Department of Mysteries.
