Thanks for the story. W.

The second version is definitely better. The events/dialog are/is explained more rationally and Harry seems to be less of a sullen jerk.

Now if your Harry could just break free of that damn potion and find his true love in Hermione and/or Luna. ;-)

So you're saying that Ginny had her, strawberry flavored, love potion in the lip balm? ;-)

Otherwise, this seemed a little lengthy and morose for my tastes. The writing mechanics were good, though.

Canon Nazi: Harry DID ask Cho out on their date (HP5, chapter 24).
