The thought processes are maybe a little overdone, but it's a good, realistic progression from the events in the book, to what would have happened, but not been discussed later. I can definitely see Harry's slightly overdeveloped sense of honor making him pull away like that, but I can also see him offering to come down and warm her up after months with no "romantic" activities, so that part's quite good. Next chapter??

It is worth noting that, like the Sectumsempra ear, it is possible that since the fire was set by dark magic, it was impossible to extinguish it directly. The fact that the overall structure of the house was not damaged indicates that this is correct; that the fire was entirely magical not natural. The thing that annoys me more about this scene is that Greyback is capable of a sufficiently good Shield Charm to stop Harry's spell.

Author's Response: Hmm, I guess that's possible, but there's no indication it's anything but regular fire. They certainly try to control it at the beginning of the scene when Harry first runs out of the house. Fiendfire seems to have a mind of its own, and is extremely agressive and out of control. IT's not pictured as anything like that in the film, but you could be right. Either way, they should have either addressed the fact that the fire was undistinguishable, because without that, the bunch of them still look ridiculous holding their wands passively watching it burn.

This makes a point that, if remembered by leaders throughout history, could have saved a lot of lives: sometimes the consequences of continuing a war are worse than those of either side winning it. If Voldemort had won, they could have simply left Britain, escaped to other parts of the world able to defend themselves. But it went on and on...very dark, but powerful. I'd take issue with some of the dialogue, people not really talking that way, but it's clearly symbolic and I get that.
