Minor UI issue: there is no indication in the game whatsoever (for the female MC at least) that the option to "invite Luna to the Christmas ball" is available to them and has to be taken in order to actually be able to meet with Luna during the unofficial part. Combined with very narrow window during which this talk has to be done, it's way too easy to miss. Adding standard '!' indicator to Luna's portrait would probably help.

Not sure if this is intended, but if Ginny and Harry fuck during the Christmas ball and you choose to break up with Ginny over it during the talk with Ginny afterwards, then Quest 29 indicates MC and Ginny has stopped dating, but Quest 32 remains open/active and you can keep "Offer to have sex" and fuck in the storage cabinet as if nothing has changed.

This is not a bug, it’s even written in the dialogue that Ginny doesn’t mind continuing to have sex with you

Hmm the dialogue actually implies quite the opposite:
Python:
    pc "Yes, that's a reason. A very serious reason. If we keep dating, what can I expect from you in the future?"
    jw "Are you trying to say I'm shallow?"
    pc "I'm not trying to say anything, I'm openly telling you this."
    jw "Then go look for a perfect girlfriend somewhere else, you idiot."
    pc "I will!"
And that's the end of it. Nothing here indicates that Ginny would still want to keep hooking up with the MC. And she doesn't say anything about wanting to still fuck even despite the breakup either before, or after.

This is why i thought it might be worth mentioning. If it was stated at any point that Ginny doesn't mind still having sex with MC (as opposed to get all pissed off about it) then i wouldn't have considered it as potential code issue.

It seems to me that this is not the right dialogue. Check # game/events.rpy:40494
But anyway, this is Ginny's behavior that we planned.

Like i mentioned, this is the dialogue which plays when i choose to break up with Ginny before the epilogue i.e. shortly after the ball. So it's not "wrong" but it is different from epilogue talk. You can view it all in the attached save.

Because this dialogue lacks any elaboration that you get at the end of the game when it's Ginny coming to the MC, her behavior in such scenario during the last few days in the game appears rather nonsensical. The player who didn't finish the game yet won't be aware of that epilogue nuance, and if they break up with Ginny earlier then they potentially never even see it.

Similarly nonsensical is then MC's dialogue in that option ("offer sex") because MC is acting as if them and Ginny are still in a lovey-dovey relationship and not just hooking up, despite the fact they've broken up.

But these are overall minor issues, i guess.

It's not 'break up' dialogue. It's a dialog where you express how you feel about the threesome involving her. Yes, you can have a fight in the course of it. Yes, it also affects certain endings. But I was talking about the other dialog I was referring to. It doesn't change the nature of the character. Ginny is Ginny.

It's dialogue which plays when you pick option which is labelled literally "Stop Dating". That is what people typically call breaking up. Ginny herself asks explicitly right before it, "Do you really want to end our relationship over this?" (and that option is effectively answering "yes" to that question)

edit: i'd say the issue here is that the dialogue doesn't give any indication that "Ginny is Ginny" and may create a wrong impression of her. It might work better if it ended with adding something like "If you change your mind and want some more fun, you know where to find me." after her "then go look for a perfect girlfriend somewhere else" thing.

Is it a mistake or is it designed that way? Quest 15. Book for Astoria. If you ask Tonks for access and choose the answer "Lie", you can repeat this action and pump stealth to 19.
