I notice several new commenters this time around--if I'd thought about it, I'd have expected that. Antagonism and a good dose of angst bring them out of the woodwork every time. *grins*

That said, feedback! This chapter? Ow. Ow ow ow. But so well done. And the fact that this story follows immediately after the one about Harry's acceptance of his feelings for Bob only makes it hurt more--which is totally appropriate to the development of the series.

It'll be interesting to see how this confrontation changes how they relate to each other. It feels like a turning point. Oddly, I'm kind of wondering if this might be a transitional moment between them relating as teacher and student and/or adult and child. Even though Harry has been an adult for some time now, that kind of method of relating does tend to hang on if something doesn't happed to change people's perceptions of each other.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this. *g*
