Harry's drug use escalates, and this chapter is so short because he spends most of it unconscious, missing Hermione giving birth to Rose. There's about a half a second where he shoves past Draco in the St. Mungo's atrium. We warned you this was a serious slow burn. A quick chat afterwards has us talking about why James cries every time Hermione comes up in this fic and how functional Harry appears suddenly. A clever ruse.
We forgot to talk about the clever symbolism we used to parallel the two versions of blood magic; Harry finding solace in IV drug use and Draco fighting with the gift-giving waffling of unicorns.
