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.

um, I'll just throw out some ideas, based on the summary you've given for the second story. I won't try to explain my logic, because it wouldn't work correctly anyways.

-The Heart of Discontent
-Underlying Discontent
-Laced with Discontent
-Cognitive Dissonance

and, a phrase that I end up using far too often in my poetry and writing, but for some inexplicable reason I feel compelled to put down here for you now,

-Revolution's Fingertips

I love the phrase and for some reason it's what popped into my head when I reread the summary. well, that's all I got! hope to have helped! =)

Thanks, you did. I've chosen 'An Alchemical Discontent' as fitting best with the themes of the story, but I'm keeping 'Cognitive Dissonance' in reserve.
