You know how Harry kisses Ginny and then leads her out of the common room at the end of Chapter 24 of HBP? I doubt his virginity made it to Chapter 25.
I don't. That scene in DH sure looked like it was supposed to be Their First Time.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been thinking of magic as a recessive gene all along...
Yeah, this.
Or else maybe a spontaneous mutation, kind of like the one that sometimes produces hairless kittens even though there's no hairless cats in the family background....

Yeah, you're probably right. But not for Ginny's lack of trying.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I think there's always a fundamental mistake in trying to apply real-life scientific laws to fantasy magic. It inevitably constrains more than is really neccesary. One would always expect the response to be, "well ... kind of."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Another story I'd love to read is Snape's POV of 7th year.
Oh, would LOVE to see that.
And while Ginny would probably jump Harry's bones at the first opportunity, I suspect Harry would have to get over some worries about how Ron would react.
Oh its just so TRUE!

Oh see now, that would be sad. Let them have their happy teenage fumbling... everything is so mysterious and fun. Such a shame to rush that.

Luna started a blog
Oh. My. I am now filled with the urge to write that. Sure, the computer part would have to be all handwavium, but the notion of writing Luna's blog entries is nigh irresistible.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Luna started a blog
She should also have a bit in each blog called "Luna's Daily Nargle" and it be one thing that irritated her that day.

I always thought of butterbeer as being slightly alcoholic, the way rootbeer used to be, back when they used fermentation to make bubbles.

I think that Luna would have some incredible, fanciful description of the computer, a magical lighted tablet or something.
