* Played sympathetically and PlayedForLaughs when Prodigy, a member of the New X-Men, reveals that being surrounded by the insanely attractive and extremely physically fit male and female members of the X-Men was both heavenly and hellish for someone who was just figuring out that they were bisexual, because ''everyone is hot''.

When the two kiss, Ginny finally comes to truly accept it - after a brief freak out. Harry, meanwhile, is an enthusiastic ShipperOnDeck.
