This was amazingly good. I thought the police procedural piece felt very real (not that I would actually know) and the HP/St. Louis cross seemed even more possible/probable. I like how you woven Harry's world into Anita's. The Salem school was a very nice touch. (I'm from Boston.) Really nice work!
It was the hardest chapter to get thorough, I must say. All that police stuff I felt needed to be in there, to get anywhere the realism I see in the AB books. But there are a few definite plot points laid out in this chapter we'll be getting to in a few chapters.
The Salem school is apparently mentioned in Goblet of Fire. I relied on the HP Lexicon a lot for this chapter, because looking up the spelling of "evanesco" was low in my books.

Thanks for your kind words!
