Aww, thanks for reading m'dear! Yes, these poor teenagers just completely trapped by weird emotions and loyalties in this horrible mess. It's what I love about the first HP war as a setting. Interesting thought about the romanticizing of violence in war. I have accepted for years now that I love war novels and war stories, far more than any of my friends who I regularly read with. I think I like the high stakes and the shared intensity, both elements I look for in anything I read. But you are right that there is also something disturbing about enjoying reading about it so much, especially violence in war as a catalyst for sex or romance. Hmm. Do you know the movie "Hope and Glory"? One of my faves, and has all of this great mingled sex and war, people falling together just needing to feel something besides the horror. I think that's what I like and wish I could write.
