Well, for half of the teenagers it's agony everywhere, and for the other half 
(*waves from the other half*) it's "For the love of everything holy, why 
don't they shut up!?".  I can't imagine HRH getting all ... teenager-y on that 
account.  And don't forget, love potions are against Hogwarts rules!  ;-)  That 
is, if we can trust Rita Skeeter, but I think we can on this sentence.
So, if Book Six is drippy romance/suicide/"cant live without you" poems 
*rolls eyes* ...what will Book Seven be?  Using my expertness of the age seventeen, 
I'm gonna say it's the independence stage.  "I can do whatever I want!"  
*rolls eyes again* HRH will be coming of age in the WW...
