Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they navigate the emotions of Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 14: Felix Felicis Slug Club invite: was Hermione making a romantic push towards Ron? Does Harry have legitimate concerns about becoming The Third Wheel? What would happen to the Trio if it all went wrong with Ron and Hermione? Ron is looking for fight, but picks the WRONG opponent in Ginny! Should Hermione have had more confidence in Ron's Quidditch abilities? Did Harry do more harm than help by giving Ron a Felix Felicis placebo? Was Ron intentionally trying to make Hermione jealous with Lavender? Could Harry's raging chest monster be partially influenced by the Horcrux? Our MVP segment asks who is the most chaotic character of the chapter? Our Lynx Line topic this week for Slug Club patrons: Have you ever started dating someone that you knew for years first, or were friends with, and if so, how did it turn out?
