Aw, I am so glad that Hermione and Severus are getting along. Though Draco's wedding is a bit worrying. It's unfortunate that Ron and Ginny are both being so stubborn.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks,

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

! Yes, now that they've opened up, at least some, SS/HG do seem to get along! Yes, I have plans for the wedding--or reception at least. In Ron's case, he's fighting his feelings, and in Ginny's, well I think its a matter of the other wanting their spouse to admit their feelings first.

YAY! A new chapter! I was wondering where it was. :) Love the Cho/Harry dynamics. Can't wait to see what happens at the Quidditch World Cup!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks, Gin! Teehee, just finished writing that part, so it won't be long!

(waits for author to get busy and distracted with real life... KICKS that Won-Won so his head falls off, 'cos he certainly isn't using his head to think with!) that Harry is not going to be in good shape to rescue Cho, and she could be distracted as well when the murderer comes around. bad news! they could end up needing Hermione and Severus to rescue them. looking forward to draco's wedding, and seeing S&H happily together. thanks for the great married life S&H are having, esp this "morning"!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

LOL Won-Won doesn't seem to want to go down without a fight, does he!

Harry and Cho are both bitter and guarding their hearts at the moment... I think they need to let their guard down a bit an have a talk!

Draco's wedding is up next. Glad you enjoyed the Morning bit!

You have me worried that Ginny is going to be the target for the killer. It's like watching a TV horror movie and yelling at the babysitter: Don't go into the basement. I want to tell Ginny: Don't go shopping alone.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

LOL! Thanks

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

! No, remember in a previous chapter that the killer only takes women with long, straight, dark hair? That is why Cho is a perfect decoy. No worries for Ginny!

I liked this chapter the most - the strides that Hermione and Severus are making in the relationship are great - I loved how open with sex he was with her - Severus is opening up some after all.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

! Yes, he is opening up. In that department, at least! tehe! Glad you enjoyed.

Brat!! I was sure it was draco at the door! I did always wonder why Cho was suddenly not needed in the plot after OftP. Perhaps JKR just didn't need her.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

LOL! ;D You know, I wonder about a lot of things I feel JKR left... Unfinished? If I am not mistaken, Cho is fighting in the last book. (I can't check, my son has it with him at his college dorm...)

Its good to see Severus calming down a bit now and behaving better to Hermione.Angry and jealous Cho... Interesting development.As badly as Ron behaved, at least he is doing something.All in all, another brilliant chapter!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yep, he is starting to get used to her now...

Glad you like the Cho plot!

Right, Ron is very confused right now...

Glad you enjoyed it!

The Harry plot is starting to get very interesting. I never thought I'd say this, but jealousy looks good on Ron. Both Ginny and Hermione are starting to see their husband's POV. It's sweet to see Severus taking care of Hermione.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! I am glad you're liking the Harry bit, and the Ron bit too! Poor Ron! LOL! Yeah, Hermione is growing on him, eh?

I think I've lost the plot, literally. What child is Hermione on about?

I do love the Oliver parts. He's just so underutilized in fanfiction.

Hm, wondering if Ron is going to pull his head out of his... wherever... sooner or later? Stoopid boy.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks, GG! You remember the little boy in earlier chapters that was attacked by the werewolf? Well, the populace wants to do something radical because they remember Fenrir from the war, and Hermione is helping by working on the case.

Glad you like Oliver! I agree, not used nearly enough!

I say, gotta love Ron! LOL

Response from Gardengirl (Reviewer)

Whew, thanks for that. I do remember now. Thanks for setting me straight! Hope to see more soon.

Wow, Cho is being unreasonable. Harry is right- she was just looking for a Cedric replacement, and took offense when she realized Harry really wasn't Cedric.

It was nice to see something so domestic from Severus and Hermione.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Exactly! Yep, I wanted them to be a little more... "married." ;D

Cho was a bit of a surprise, and so bitter still. Ah, well. OK, no Draco. I just thought it would be funny, actually.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yep, Draco would have been funny, but remember, he is marrying Pansy!

Well, if I didn't know better, I'd say that our dear Professor Snape is concerned for his little missus! THis is getting excited!! I really am not liking Ron as of present... he's acting so childish, but I hope for Luna's sake he'll turn around. Thanks for updating!! Can't wait for more!!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yes, I do believe you are right! ;D Ron is just so confused, he doesn't know how to act! More up soon!

Another good chapter. I like how you are developing the relationships. I still feel sorry for Harry, but his being in Italy sounds like fun. Have you been there? I hope so, it’s a beautiful place and has great customs. I hope you use some of them.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thank you Bea! I am glad you are enjoying the slow developing relationships! ;D I haven't been to Italy, but man, I would love to go! Could you tell me a few customs? Since you don't know who I am and can't email, you could just reply to this review if you'd like... I would appreciate it!

Thank you for the update. At first I thought Cho? Why on earth would you pick her? While reading I found that yes, Cho is tha absolute perfect caracter to bring back into Harry's life. We know her, she was Harry's first love, they have a history, and not to mention you portraited her perfectly. Harry does so need a woman who takes him to task when being an idiot, Someone who treats him, and are having the same expectations about him as they would for any boy. However often Harry claims he only wants a normal life, "the-boy-who-lived" complex suits him awfully well some times:-) Harry was of course also correct in Cho being way to hung up in Cedrics death to give them an honest shot at a relationship at that point. Yup, I have to say you have found one of the most perfect caracters there is to shake Harry's world:-))I also looove Ron's jelousy, for someone who claims they don't need rings for something that will end after a year, he is rather possesive. It is quite amusing that he doesnt see it him self, but luckely he is bonded with a wife with more emotional braincells than him:-)). Ginny and Oliver seems at the moment to be the pair with the best prospect, but I am not sure, they have quiddish and a good sex-life, but how they will cope with more serious emotions remains to be seen. There is some hope in Hermiones camp thugh, not that they are in love, yet, but a tentative friendship and mutual respect is a big step towards at least seeing eachother as persons they migth enjoy spending the rest of their lifes with. Talking to eachother is a step in the rigth direction.I really like this story, and I am so happy to see it updated, so please update again soon!!!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thank you! I am glad you appreciate Cho! In my opinion, Harry and Cho never really did resolve anything, so I think there could still be some feelings there.

Glad you enjoy the jealousy bit! He is very confused about how he feels, but soon enough feelings will take over his thoughts! ;D

Ginny and Oliver do seem to have the best prospect right now, but they are off to Italy--where Harry and Cho are.

Right about SS/HG. I am so happy you are enjoying.

I see everyone is finally starting to settle in together. It's easier once one gets over the resentment.

Oh dear why in the heck did you have to pick Cho for Harry? Maybe we will get lucky and he will meet someone better than her! Dang, almost anyone would be better. I never liked her personality personally. She always seemed too snobbish for Harry in my mind. Oh well...

I believe did see an error btw.

“I see. Makes sense, if you by into that soul mate poppycock.”

Should be BUY instead of by.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

HA HA HA! Well, I wanted to use characters that are Cannon, but that we know little about. (Oliver, Cho) That way, I can mold them to my liking!

Thanks, I'll fix the error.

Response from DreamHowler (Reviewer)

Well, there are tons other characters that we hardly know about that are canon! Heck, there is even one named Moon (A student in the same class as Harry, though sorted into a different house ) that you could give a first name to, and make up everything about her you like. *chuckles*

If you don't like that one, then there is Demelza Robins was a girl on Harry's Quidditch team.

Just giving out ideas... lol...

I tend to use characters no one knows about sometimes too. I am using Wayne Hopkins in my story.

No problem about the error. Everyone has to make a mistake sometime. :)

If Harry would only be opening his eyes he may find happiness. But I guess we'll find that out soon enough. I must say I never think of Cho in the first place. More something like Pansy Parkinson.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! You know nothing is ever simple with Harry! ;-) Remember in my first chapter, Pansy and Draco are getting married. That will be coming up soon!

Well Ron and Luna are sure progressing - albeit in a strange sort of way. Ginny and Wood seem pretty much happy together which is nice. and I look forward to seeing the progress of Sev. and Hermione.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yeah, slowly but surely progressing.

GW/OW are happy, or as happy as they can be in the situation they are in.

More SS/HG up next.

Cho, eh? I did not see that coming! I wonder if the spell would pair them together if they had done it. After all he was interested in her from the first time he saw her as an 11-year-old.

Ron and Luna are definitely moving in the right direction. I think his jealousy surprised himself as well. :p

Poor Phoebe though. It must look terrible from her end of things. I'm glad they're being reasonable about it though. Once again they show more common sense than the rest of them, although that might be in danger, I guess, when they get to Italy.

It's the second time Severus and Hermione have actually ended up having a real conversation marginally about their predicament without it being full of accusations. I'm so proud of them. I'm sure Severus will see the light eventually. Probably before he even realises it's happened.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thank you! Harry won't do the spell, so we'll never know! teehee (I like to think it would, though.)

You're right, it did surprise him. He wants her, but doesn't want to.

I know, could you imagine! Oh, Italy will be interesting, I think!

Yes, they are coming around. Those are the thinkers of the bunch and have to analyze everything. ;-)
