Thank you! I think I'd have trouble making ordinary brewing that sensual, or else Harry and Draco would have been holding hands in Potions class. :) But I really enjoyed writing this.

And you're right, the Weasleys would never have tolerated anything like rape. (Nor would Ron have badgered Harry out of sulking on the couch and brought him back into the family). But it was something that terrified both of them and drove them apart. You'll find out pretty soon.

And thank you so much!
