What upset me about book 5 was that Harry was constantly getting dumped on and did nothing. I would have cast a severing charm from behind to behead the pink toad...
Sweet little story. Telling my parents was probably the hardest thing I ever did, despite knowing my parents supported me things. Your story captures that emotional yo-yo quite well.
