I meant to comment on this--thought I had.

This is lovely, of course--and a wonderful take on the prompt. Harry is soquintessentially male when it comes to his own emotions: they appear, dissappear and morph below the level of his awareness, and this captures that, and his feelings for Ginny and Luna quite beautifully. (I wonder how much Harry's cluelessness reflects JKR's insight, and how much of it is born of narrative necessity...)

It's funny how the two train rides up with Luna and Neville--in OotP and in HBP--mirror each other, and show how much Harry changed over the course of one angst- and tragedy-filled year....

It is well worth the wait when the comment is as lovely as this!

Thank you.

I love the train rides with Luna and Neville. I love that both in the train rides and in the conversation about death at the end of OotP it is Luna that gives us a chance to see Harry's emotional growth.
