>>> Again Victoriana -plenty of healthy outdoor activity to keep their minds
occupied - and on the occasions when they're indoors Molly makes sure
there's no opportunity for hanky-panky. It got tedious, it was all so 
un-natural and eventually it seemed so contrived. Surprised there wasn't
a plot requirement for Harry and Ron sup a bromide nightcap and to wear 
boxing gloves in bed. <<<

Come on, guys.  Surely you know, when Ron & Hermione dashed out, claiming they were off to the bathroom, what they were REALLY doing?  

Yep, sick of the endless camping trip w/ third wheel Harry hanging around, tired of all the adventure, stunned by all the carnage strewn about them, they realized they'd better consummate their relationship NOW or risk never making it to that point. 

That malarky about Ron being able to speak Parseltongue, just by standing there making funny sounds over & over?  Well... you know....
