Ron rocks :)

Well the discussion which Ron tried to have, and which Harry was too touchy to participate in. Ron seems to be having a good day, overall.

Harry doesn't want to admit that he might be different, in front of his friend. He hates it when people single him out; it's never pleasant (Dudley, or as a Parselmouth, or as a Tri-Wizard participant). Throughout the series, he has always shied away from looking too hard at his own power, even when he does insanely powerful things. Ron has to see it; he sees everything that Harry does, for better or for worse.

Reece was convinced that magic was magic, end of story, and Ron was considering the idea that it was all in the mind.
I really like examining the Reece dynamic. He's a great character to push Harry into new circumstances, making him exercise his new werewolf and protector skills. As well, he's becoming more like Anita, in protecting people that need help. Additionally, in Reece's case, he is experiencing slightly paternal feelings.

And I'm sure Harry has some idea of what boys do with girls.
Not quite like *that*. I mean, Harry gets the tab A into slot B part of it. But I mean the dating part, the spending time, the carrying of books, the walking to class. Harry knows nothing about dating, and frankly, his time in Anita's house didn't quite help him figure things out :D
