I like how Alex is growing up. And I like how Larry came back when he thought the giant snake would attack her. Love or hate, that couple has chemistry.

Exactly what I've been thinking. Alex not only came when he thought the giant snake would attack, he also put himself between Alex and the creature when Alex was trying to distract it away from Larry. I think Larry has some feelings for Alex, but I doubt Alex has ever thought of Larry that way.

Really? I just thought he wanted to find out what was going on with the creature, and that's why he Apparated to where she was. I didn't see it as him trying to protect her. But maybe?

I got the impression he was trying to protect her. That said, that doesn't necessarily mean he has feelings for her. It could be just out of arrogance: "I'm not going to let her save me!" or something like that.

Agreed, but I still think he has some kind of feelings for her. His attitude towards her has changed quite a bit in this book.

I agree that Larry was trying to protect her out of a sense that she shouldn't save him or he is responsible for what is happening (by stepping over the wards). I don't really get a romantic vibe from him.
