Poor Harry just can't catch a break, can he? He goes away to try and forget about (what he thinks is) a crush, and when he comes home he just discovers that he's matured enough to have fallen head over heels in love.

And poor Bob! Thinking that he's never going to see Harry again, trapped with Justin again... Even if the feelings weren't mutual (which I trust they are *g*), the idea of never seeing Harry again would have to be painful.

This part really made me look forward to the moment when it becomes clear that Bob will be with Harry full time for the forseeable future, though I suspect that'll be awhile before any feelings are discovered. And that it'll take a bit to get there, but hey, the ride will be fun!

Well, there's stuff that's gonna happen between now and then, as it were, and it might be something of a rough start, but it'll be interesting, I hope? :D

Yeah, not seeing Harry again would've been a wrench for Bob, because hey, this is probably the first time that Bob's ever gotten to teach a young wizard magic, and even if all Harry and Bob ever felt for each other was friendly affection, there would still be that bond of mentor-and-student there. *^^*

Glad you liked!

Oooh, good point about the mentor-student bond. There's a kind of intimacy there, too, especially for a group like wizards. I bet training geneologies{sp?} are just as important as bloodlines in that kind of world.

G-E-N-E-A-O-L-O-G-I-E-S. :D

I mean, shit, do you remember in Summer Knight when the LaFortier tried to say that Harry was responsible for Archangel because Harry's teacher had been taught by Simon Petrovich? That was both out of left field, and showed the kind of consideration that kind of stuff has in the wizarding world.

And my God, why is it that "wizarding world" sounds like JKR? It makes me sad!

[crimsonquills]

I had forgotten about that bit in Summer Knight! But it's consistent with the universe, even if it's irrational. *g*

And my God, why is it that "wizarding world" sounds like JKR? It makes me sad!

It makes me really sad how much fantasy language JKR and HP have co-opted. :-( We were here first, damn it! *g*

It was our genre first, you writer of heavy-handed, do-as-I-say-not-as-Harry-does tripe! *shakes fist*

But yesh, omg, Harry! (Dresden, not Potter, because Potter can go forget himself). He needs emergency cuddles, a week's worth of rest, and enough food to feed an army. Stat!
