You are the only one who got that so far! I thought it was sort of clever, the niffler representing Hermione's belief that Lyra is a gold digger who didn't care if she was married. I introduced the idea of Hermione being curious about Lyra, ever since the fiasco with Cliodna. I stuck one sentence in there somewhere as something to build on. She has a latent curiousity in his past which will slowly work its way forward.

I loved sticking a few good guys on the Daughter's for Hermione to team up with. There will be more about that in coming chapters but I will unravel it slowly.

Sirius' seat has been reinstated although he is going to fight it tooth and nail. He has a hatred for the ministry and all its works.

At the end of the last chapter Sirius was smoking cigars in Hermione's library (not too bright), he didn't have a chance to spell the smell away, only the cigars, ashtrays and smoke before he had to rush off to break up the cat fight. He could have gotten rid of it by now but the Marauder in him enjoys skirting disaster, even if it is in a domestic capacity. He's playing a little game with her that he knows has the potential to blow up in his face. If it didn't, where would the fun be?

I actually started working on the bike scene before I started working on this chapter. I'm excited about unveiling it because it will be significant for a few reasons.

The scene in James' room is important because it shows how far he has come, to finally be able to feel some self forgiveness, something he couldn't have accomplished without her. His inabiltiy to express his emotions will be dealt with in a coming chapter, it will be closely tied to his bike and her reaction to it.

Thank you! The emotional states the character's are in is often where my emphasis is. I'm as good at describing how a thing looks, probably because I'm more interested in how that thing feels. It feels nice to know that it comes across well.
