Oh, I liked that. Ron and Luna, Snape and Hermione and Ginny and Oliver.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Right! Trying something different! Thank you!
Oh crap! Elf-made wine that brings out your dark side!I love Ron's reaction, very mature and clear thinking. He seems to have hit the nail in the head with his explanation of her actions. I can't wait to read more!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! Yep, Ron loves her and is very hurt. We will see Harry's reaction up next... I am so happy you like it so far!
AAAHHHH angst every were.. Hee HEE naught Luna. As i told you befor i love your premise this is a good story every way you tell it. This is the kind of story i normaly look to read and i like how you took the same idea and tryed it another way i love taking a good idea and twisting this way and that for different result's.I also love marriage law story's I think i read them all just to see every one's take on the same concept. I don't know which story i like best though there somthing like apple's and orange's your pairing were a good suprize didn't see that coming it add's exitment i think. If you want to even throw out another idea i would love to read it also these are such good story's. Though i'm not trying to be pushy i just know all the idea's i get when i get on a good topic.You are a great writer keep it up.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks!Yep, I enjoy a bit of angst! I am so happy you are enjoying it! I, too, enjoy reading different stories for the same idea. Glad my pairings surprised you! More up soon.
Lol The shit is really going to hit fan now. lol Never mix witches and elfwine and charms together. lol I love this spin on things.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! Uh huh--you got it! It sure will! More up soon!
This is delightful. Just what I needed after a week of jolification (and caring for a sick family) Thanks for writing this. I am really enjoying it.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying my fic!More up soon.
This is very funny, confusing but funny.
Eagerly awaiting an update.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! Sorry I confused you, I hope things will become clearer to you soon! More coming soon!
Well, they've got quite a fine kettle of fish, haven't they? At least they only have to be married for a year. If they wanted, they could consummate, then not see each other again for the rest of the year (live at different ends of the house or whatever). At least it's not permanent. (Tho I'm sure they'll fall in love eventually, but I'm thinking of what would be possible solutions for the present...:) )
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks!~Right they only have to be married a year, but they also have to live together during that year too. Now, it doesnt say they have to sleep together except the one time, but it does say that they have to still live together.Severus turned to her and sneered. "Funny. I thought research and too much information were your forte. Looks like I was mistaken, or either you've lost your touch. According to the Magical Contract, the couple has three days to wed. After doing so, the marriage has to be consummated within twelve hours, and the couple has to reside in the same residence for one year." Gives them a better chance for a love connection! teehee
Response from Sporky1126 (Reviewer)
Oh, okay. So, for instance, they'd have to share Severus' quarters at Hogwarts, she couldn't just live in Gryffindor Tower? Just living in the same building (ie, Hogwarts) doesn't count?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Right, it has to be the same quarters.
What a delightful chapter!!! Everyone but Luna at the Ministry in a state -- loooove it!!! Snape taunting Ron was delectable -- I can't wait to see what else you have in store for our poor hapless couples. So who is Harry going to end up with? Will he be casting the charm as well? (Hmm, there's no Slash warning on this fic, so it's not going to be Draco as his one true love for a change!) Please post again soon! Thank you!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! Oh, Luna is coming, she will be up next.Couldn't you just picture Snape? I haven't made a final decision about Harry, but I have a few ladies in mind. ;)More up soon!
Ha - Manipulative!Luna is one of my favorites. This is a great start. I cant wait to see how the first meetings go with each of the couples. I can see Oliver with Ginny (even though this is not a pairing I've read before), but I must admit I was hoping for Draco. LOL
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! Teehee Luna's behavior will be explained in chapter 2!I had thought of Draco actually, but after talking with my beta, we decided on Oliver! Something you don't see a lot of.
neat begining. i look forward to further developements
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! It won't be long!
Oh this is going to be funny!More please.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! Chapter 2 is with my beta now!
It's funny that you point out in the first chapter that Ginny claims, “Yes. I’ve always loved Harry… before I even knew him, which is strange now that I think on it.” Because if Oliver is her soul-mate, she only knew him between the ages of 11-12. She must not believe in long courtships! And I can see why Oliver thinks of his job with the Harpies as being his dream job, since they only hire witches ... he's got to be the only guy on the team. At least both he and Ginny like Quidditch!
I could see Ron and Lavender ... I could see Harry and Luna [or Luna and Neville] and naturally I can only see Hermione with Severus, but am curious to see how you play out the combinations you've planned.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
LOL! Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
! Well, to be fair, Ginny didn't pick out the soul mate, the charm did. For all we know, the charm could pick a stranger...We will learn more about the Harpies and all that in future chapters.
Sneaky! but Oliver Wood? That was surprising. So Harry wasn't one of the three. hummmm. Well I think Luna wanted (and got) Ron; I am fairly sure Hermione was linked to Severus (but his response was a bit shocking and I'm not sure who he was referring to) and that leaves Ginny with Oliver (who doesn't really fit her poem to my mind). But this makes it all the more fun to find out just what you have planned. I look forward to your next revealing chapter. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from JoKK2 (Reviewer)
In thinking about it further, I guess Severus could match both Hermione AND Ginny's rhyme. Now that would be an interesting switch.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
! Nope, no Harry...Well, I don't think we know enough about Oliver in cannon to know if he's honorable or not, but he seems honorable to me. He helped in the final battle, so he was honorable enough to defend those he cares about, helping with bodies and such.More coming up next and more reactions.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Oh, and also I wanted to mention, he was completely honest with his girl right from the start. He told her from the beginning he did not want anything serious.Oh, and the poems and flowers are more for the girls casting the charm and what is in their heart at the time. The charm looks beyond that to find their true soul mate, not who they are specifically asking for. Ginny was thinking Harry the whole time... So, the charm cannot be coerced.
Lovely response to the prompt. Oliver Wood was a surprise. I look forward to hear the girls' reaction. And Hermione's reaction to Luna's result no less....
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! All that is coming up in chapter 2, which I am almost finished with.
I'm noticing that Harry didn't get a letter! I think that's the first time that happened and it kind of pleases me to no end.
I love that Luna is hoping her soul-mate will be red-haired, it would appear that she's got some ulterior motives with this.
I'm very suprised about Oliver Wood though. His treatment of his girlfriend doesn't really come across as very nice, so it'll be interesting to see how he copes with this turn of events, being forced to do what he didn't want to do. He doesn't seem to immediately fit any of the rhymes though, or is that because I'm looking at them through Harry-coloured glasses perhaps?
I'll be keeping an eye on this one, definitely.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! Yep, Luna had someone specific in mind! *winks*Let's see, about Oliver... I didn't want him to sound heartless, but he did make it clear at the beginning of their relationship he had no intentions of anything serious. You know those girls who think they can change a guy? I think that is what we have here with his girlfriend. Although he really DOES NOT want to be married at this stage of his life.
All right! I think HG/SS, GW/OW and LL/RW. This is a fine kettle of fish! Can't wait for more!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! I almost have Chapter 2 done!
LOL This is good. The guys reactions were delightful and I can gardly wait to read the confrontations that are surely to be quite explosive!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks so much! Yep, nobody, except maybe Luna, is happy with their 'partner' right now!
Luna wasn't in Ravenclaw for nothing!
If you want a friend's partner,
make sure they get into a binding relationship with someone else first before going after the one you want;
but if it's done magically,
make sure you all cast the charm at the same time,
so you can't be 'blamed' for the 'awful' way things turned out,
being subject to the same rules yourself.
I'm glad that all four of the engaged persons expressed some doubts before performing the charm; that'll make things much easier on their hearts in the end.
Also, Hermione... What was she thinking?!?
Hermione chose an iris for faith, hope and, most of all, wisdom. As she added her flower, she said: “I want a man who’s witty and clever with a burning desire to learn. Who won’t ridicule, who’s never the fool, and will give me all that I yearn.”
There is absolutely no way that her flower or her rhyme could have ever described Ronald Weasley!!!
This is a great start!
I'm looking forward to the next!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Teehee! Yep, her brain, along with that wine, helped her get what she wanted. And in the long run, her friends will too, although they won't think so at first!Yeah, nothing about Ronald in that flower or rhyme! teehee But it does discribe someone else... Working on the next now!
lol I can't wait to see who got who
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
You won't have a long wait, that will be up next! Thanks for reading!
So far so good. I'm totally happy to see Wood in a story! :) Not many people use him it seems
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! I wanted something different for a change!
Hmmm, casting charms while drunk? That can be an adventure in and of it's self. Would the results be different if they were sober?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
No, not different, but there is something about that wine!
Very cute start -- I have a pretty good idea of who is with who -- and I look forward to seeing how this all develops. Thank you for sharing!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thanks! I am glad you like it so far!
Yay, another story from this prompt! I would assume the pairings are Luna-Ron, Oliver-Ginny, and Hermione-Severus? Judging by Hermione's reaction to the name in her cauldron, I doubt she got Ollie or Ron, as she wouldn't be upset by Ron's name, and I doubt she'd be THAT upset by Oliver's.
Looking forward to more! :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thank you! Yep, you guessed it! More coming soon!
Great beggining, hope to see more soon.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
Thank you! Working on chapter 2 right now!
I only say...PLEASE DON'T LET BE GINNY ANd SNAPE!. *thinks of her happy place, happy place* For the love of god..please no!
Anyway great story though, can;t wait to see what happens.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)
LOL! You are too too funny! More up soon.
