Ah, I should have known. I was trying to get you to come up with the idea first, because I knew if I suggested it you would tell me that it was a bad one, but now that you've come up with the idea you're taking it all apart and scrutinising it, anyway.
I think it has an elegant simplicity, myself. Harry is the only person Bellatrix would allow Hydra to date. If they present themselves as a couple, it gives Hydra a good deal more freedom, and has the added benefit of putting Teddy in his place, while raising Harry's profile at the same time.
But yes, he may not agree to it if his feelings for Katie are genuine. Even if they are genuine, what kind of future do they really have together? Not much of one, things being what they are right now.
I suppose I'll have to ask him about Bell. I hope he doesn't go odd about it. He's never really been the sort of mate you can talk to about girls. Too much the chivalrous Gryffindor.
