Heh, I had a few other people say that. I suppose since I always knew there would be a sequel, I didn't really have the urge to tie everything up this time.

The sequel will be An Alchemical Discontent.

Harry does expect himself to be a hero. However, the depth of Ginny's reaction also paralyzed him. If she had shrugged it off, he probably would have as well.

Harry can still experience physical passion and irritation, and other, milder forms of those two emotions. He just holds himself back from getting enraged or overwhelmed with lust. That's another reason he likes rules.

Desire might well affect those moments, and since it lasts for two weeks, Draco might have a chance to find out.

And thanks for reviewing!
