Thanks! I'm really glad you got that much out of it. :D And you know I'm not usually a writer, so this really means a lot to me.
Yeah, George seemed broken to me at the end of the books, and I wanted him to have someone who was also broken with whom he could resonate. And h/c had to happen. They both start out being hurt, and end up comforting in their own ways.
and yeah, Coming out scenes... I figured there would be one or two who would be somewhat supportive (Ginny and Charlie in this case), and the rest of the family either in denial, or upset about it.
When the bunny she bites, it is very strong, indeed!
