Concerning Chapter 28 Again

SO, here is a more full post-Chapter 28 post. Spoilers, obviously.

This chapter was very Lily-centric. It was entirely from her POV, except for one interlude, and I know you probably want James's perspective on all this Lily-proximity in light of recent Puppy Killing events (read: Carlotta), so... you'll get that. Chapter 29 is much more mixed with regards to perspectives. The scene at the beginning (with Lily in the dress) will be shown again, obviously, but from James's POV. Also, you'll get James's take on his first Chapter 28 encounter with Lily (at her house).

Also, Chapter 29 will feature some really, really, really cheesed off Lily. Also also, James will tell Lily one of the two big developments that occurred in Chapter 27, and there's some more Sam.
And I THINK Chapter 29 will be less weird than Chapter 28. But really, these two chapters were supposed to be really strange and fast, because its Lily's POV and Lily is experiencing them as strange-and-fast. In Chapter 29, Lily's got a little better standing, though, so she'll get more of a chance to shine. Also, there's more James POV, and James sees things differently. ;-)


Anyway, there are some more thoughts on the last chapter.
Loves ya all.
Cheers,
Jules

EDIT:
And also, regarding Donna: "Off Dreaming" had a good question, and I responded to her, but I forgot to copy and paste it onto here, like I was going to, so here goes an inferior recap. 
Paraphrased Question: Wtf, Donna?
The thing about Donna is that she likes to play by the rules, generally speaking. For instance, in Chapter 2, when McGonagall is questioning them regarding who started the fight in the Entrance Hall, Donna is very hesitant to lie to a teacher, and Donna is not often hesitant. She's very focused on her career and her future, and she doesn't want to stand out in the way that her parents did (i.e. being "heroic." See: conversations with Lathe in Chapter 25). She already feels like she took a leap by going to the protest at all (ditching work, no less), and so staying is just a little further than she wants to go. ALSO, she has more responsibilities to consider (i.e. her siblings, and how her actions effect them), so it's not entirely as though she's wussing out. 

That being said, there's a scene in Chapter 29 that I'm pretty happy with, because it it means both mild shipper-ness and redemptive kickass-ness for Donna.
