Thanks!

The sexual awakening will happen over the next little while (and no, not like that. As Harry's wolfie senses come on line, and as he spends more time with people who spend most of their days dealing with sex, it's going to start to percolate into his thick skull that OMG there are girls and they smell like potential mates and what do I do now?)

(By the way, Micah's last name doesn't have a g.)

You know, one of these days I'll get that right. *shakes head*

Harry's already begun to have sexual awakening with Anita. Not "like that" but the realization that he is attracted to women and Anita in particular though he knows that wouldn't be healthy for any of them.

Well, what do you expect in putting a teenage boy around a succubus? Poor Harry. Poor Anita, too, being overly worried about all this. They're both a messed up pair. And Ronnie's little comment didn't help Anita much, either.

But I digress.

Okay, let me try and respond to that in a manner that's less pervy. We've seen how Harry has an almost miracuous inability to deal with the female of the species.

Another thing I was thinking about was how all the strong women in his life are not "available" to Harry. I'm thinking really of Hermione, and to a lesser extent Tonks, Fleur, and Ginny (pre HBP). None of those girls are ones Harry conciously thinks that are potential girlfriends. The closest he's come is Cho, and we all know how beautifully that turned out.

Now he's around women like Anita, Cherry, Vivian, Meng Die, who while still are "not available" they haven't known Harry since he was a little kid. Harry sees them in a more mature light and, for all that he's 17, he's still almost grown. Meng Die, for example, has noted that. And Anita being so very upset over Ronnie's comment is only a little bit because she's noticed as well.
