I have a dim memory that someone once told me that in the British version of CoS, sometime between Harry and Ginny's exit from the Chamber and everyone's arrival at Dumbledore's office -- i.e., near the end of chapter 17 -- Ron attempts to hug Ginny and she rebuffs him. No such action occurs in the American version. (Trust me, I've checked.)

If this passage does, in fact, exist, I would like to use it in "Secrets" because it's an immensely useful bit of characterization... but I need the exact phrasing and timing to work with -- i.e., I need the text of the book from a couple paragraphs before the attempted hug through to a couple paragraphs after.

Does anyone have a copy of the British version, and if so, will you help me out?
