IJ ate my first comment, boo. This was so creepy that you may have to send your Queen of Fluff crown off to get the tarnish cleaned up :). And Cormac, dropping Hermione out of the Imperius right in the middle of things. Gah. Vicious. Clever. I'm looking forward to the point where she resists the spell enough to know what's going on, and flays him.
