A few things:

This kind of setting in which Harry and Ginny are equally good at stuff doesn't really work in an after prophesy story. It was all well and good in a story like Ruskbyte's Order of the Phoenix but now Harry is supposed to be the chosen one with the power Voldie knows not. Now, if the power if his ability to love there is no need for extra magical power or knowledge. But that's where you're taking things. If the power is that Harry can do some really cool bit of magic, then having Ginny capable of the same thing makes Harry un-needed. Or otherwise there's no point for the whole prophesy. What I'm trying to get at is that I think you should make some kind of difference between Ginny and Harry other than what they forgot.

And that brings me to flying. The fact that Harry forgot how to fly was more that a bit weird. You can forget what has happened and what you have learned but Harry never learned how to fly, did he? He just did it. And the learning spell affects the part of brain that handels learning(you wrote this) and apparently some of the memory part too(although you didn't say it). So how come Harry can't fly now if he could fly as a first year student without a memory of how to fly or a memory of learning to fly? Now it seems that you just wanted to create some angst without thinking things through and if I'm guessing right, Ginny gets to save the day again..

I hear you on the flying thing.

As to the power-sharing thing, trust me.   It's still all Harry in the end.

Great chapter. Quite a turnaround for Harry. A really good sequence with Cho. A great resolution to that problem. A little sad that they lost to Slytherin but well done and for a good reason. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you for writing.
