Kemper now:
McLaggen wasn't picking up on Hermione vibe/words.  He may be socially
retarded, but as he obviously has anger issues it leads me to believe
that Cormac /could/ be date rapey.

Kemper now:
So you are agreeing with Merope?

Kemper now:
Does it matter?  It's a love potion.  Not a
talkmyearoffaboutthingsimnotinterestedin potion.  Romantic love leads
to sex.   It's not an agape love potion.
Earlier, you refer to ruffies.  But slipping someone true E may have
the effect on the victim of being more inclined to have sex.  Sounds
more like the love potion.
