I can understand both sides of the arguement. Harry was making a life for himself, things were (somewhat) normal. Then he gets hit with wings. They're huge. They won't be hidden. They cause all sorts of (supposed) problems. The ONE benefit is that Harry can fly with them.
Buy they're in the way, and cause a certain pointy git to stare at him with bedroom eyes.
Had Harry been hit with this a year or so after he defeated Voldemort, I wonder if he would have been more accepting of them then. Perhaps he would have just flown away for awhile. At this point, her percieves them as drastic hinderance to his life.
Yes. He might learn to control and conceal them in time, but right now, he really can't, and it's embarrassing.
Your instinct is good. Yes, Harry would have been easier with them a year after Voldemort. But now, he thinks of himself as an adult, not someone who can make a huge change.
Well, I don't know yet whether I sympathize with him or just want to roll my eyes and wave my hand in his direction. -snort-
Interesting facts Draco discovered, though I'm sure even more interesting ones will turn up in time. I also like the comparison of Harry to a phoenix a lot, makes a lot of sense, really.
Draco continues to amuse me though, he's so damn aggressive and subtle at the same time? Also enjoyed his explanation to his attraction to Harry and how he did want to approach him in the past, but had reasons for not.
Well, he thinks of the wings as a disability, kind of. They're not really, but in the meantime, his being upset until and unless he can get used to them is a realistic reaction, I think.
Draco did want to approach Harry, yep, but I doubt he would ever have drummed up the courage if not for the wings.
Kind of, yes. :) Although I don't know that it ever says in canon what phoenixes eat, or if they do, so Draco might have some interesting experiments ahead of him.

Draco, knock (or fuck) some sense into him.

If the spell was (semi) successful, I wonder how much of it is due to he commonality his personality has with that of a phoenix.
Questions, questions, . . . .

Eager for more, as always!
And Happy Birthday, Harry! -cheers-

Yeah, probably.

Harry finds it overwhelming, what Draco's saying. Not easy to deal with either way, whether the attraction is new or old.
