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.

I feel bad about writing it and I don't suggest you read it.

It had been alright in the end. Perhaps it was better this way, after all, with Ron and Hermione like sheer myths to him.
