Tom finds himself in a war that isn't his to fight.

Regina took the small box from Fred, slid her finger under the paper and carefully unwrapped it. She slipped the lid of the box off and stared at the exquisite dragon hair clip with matching earrings. The dragons were made out of jade and edged with gold. The hair clip was large enough to hold Regina's hair in a high ponytail but small enough to hold a small amount of her hair away from her face. She pulled the earrings from the box and removed her small gold studs to put her new earrings on. The dragon earrings dangled about an inch from her earlobes. They swung with each turn of her head.

"A fine line runs between almost everything in life. Sometimes we choose to cross that line, and other times we're pushed across it. And on occasion, that line is broken entirely, taking the choice out of anyone's hands. I didn't like any of the situations. If I chose to cross it myself, then that would mean that I was responsible for what I had done. If I had no choice in the matter, then at least I'd be able to blame someone else, and then, just maybe, no one would blame me. I had no such luck."

This is a parody. What if Harry Potter was an American red neck cowboy? This is an exercise in learning how to write dialogue different from the normal English language. The British readers may have problems with it. I was also trying to develop dialogue which suggests sensual themes, but does not define them. What is really going on is in the minds of the reader. Overall, intense romance, strong sexual content, and a lot of humor, I hope. The story got the best of me. It was only supposed to be about six pages. I feel bad about writing it and I don't suggest you read it.

However, after a surprise meeting with a man long thought dead, some of Terry's secrets are exposed, and hold roots that will change Harry's life forever.

Harry finally asked me out (hurrah! It’s been long enough). We haven’t had a chance to go on the date yet, but a Hogsmeade weekend is coming up soon. I can’t wait! -Ginny
