Harry/Dudley conversation.<

I like writing interaction between the characters, I have to admit.
The Auror thing I'm writing at the moment is really one long series
of character interactions, because there are some characters I just
want to sit and have a long lunch with ....

I'd be kind of curious as to what response Ron would have, should he
find Harry with that picture of Cho. (Not a plot bunny, I swear!)<

Hah! You know, even as I wrote about Harry putting the photo in his
pocket, I was thinking "Ron probably isn't going to like finding this
later". On the other hand, I'm not quite sure what else he could
have done ... although for one wild moment I was tempted to have
Harry give the picture to Dudley.

Which would have been rather unkind to Cho <g>

Everyone seems to have that cold at the moment - on both sides of the
Atlantic! Half of the staff in my office were knocked out with it at
the same time as me, although most of us dragged ourselves into work
anyway. Hope you feel better soon, chucks.

Yippee! That is EXCELLENT news!
