Patronum Lacrima

In Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts, strange things are afoot. As Ron and Hermione discover new feelings for each other, Harry discovers new feelings for Ginny, but he is not the only one. Ginny is confused and has problems of her own; Draco needs to get his priorities straight. Where exactly does Blaise Zabini fit into all this, and who will help Harry when he really needs it?

Ron has a girlfriend and Ron's girlfriend has a birthday. Neville is baffled, Ginny is indifferent, Harry is happy and Hermione is flattered.

A feast, a quidditch match and an unexpected meeting in the library. The Christmas holidays are approaching and everyone is carefree. Or are they?

Christmas, and, inevitably, New Years. Unexpected encounters on Astronomy Towers, House-elves and shows of pointless violence.

Strange; where were you when we started this game? I wish the real world would just stop hasseling me.

Harry can't stop thinking about the things Ginny said to him, and wonders where everything strated going wrong. Lupin has good news for his N.E.W.T. class and Millicent catches Blaise acting dodgy.
