Title help needed, if you'd be so kind



The trilogy I'm writing now originally had the titles 'A Potion Named Desire,' 'An Intellectual Discontent,' and 'A More Worldly Man' for its individual parts. However, then I chose the series title 'An Intellectual Love Affair,' which means I want to change the second story's title, so as not to get them mixed up.

Problems:

1) I have fuck-all idea what title I want to use now.
2) ...That's it, really.

I still like the word 'Discontent,' but have no idea what it should be paired with. I've never had so much trouble titling a story. Any ideas? The middle story of the series is about Harry and Draco marketing a powerful potion, the Ministry getting on their asses about said powerful potion, and Harry beginning to realize that he's more attracted to Draco than the kind of nice, quiet witch he'd ordinarily be interested in looking for.

Reading through the other's suggestions I like quite a few of them, but here are my own.

A Realization of Discontentment
A Discernment of Discontent
An Insight of Discontent/ An Insightful Discontent
A Perception of Discontent
A Reasoning Discontent/ A Reasoning of Discontent/ A Reasoning With Discontent
A Justifiable Discontent/ A Justification of Discontent
A Rationalization of Discontent
A Dissonance of Discontent

I couldn't seem to get my brain to attach to any other idea then that the second story is one of learning and relizations. So those are the words it thought to look up. Either that or the mind connection isn't going as well, Harry's unhappy with the way his thoughts are going.

That pretty much is the second story, yeah: Harry realizing he wants Draco as more than just a business partner, and his attempts to deal with that (especially as Draco just got a girlfriend). Thanks for the suggestions!
