Glad to see the update.  Looking forward to the next part.

Italy... so I'll go for Zabini. Guess I'll have to wait to find out, though!

Wonderful story so far! Just a complete delight. I'm secretly hoping that person speaking to Harry is Draco Malfoy… but I could be a bit biased in that respect! =)

Yay for Ron and Luna!  A break through of sorts, there.  Way to tell him, Luna.

Severus and Hermione ... slow going but they're on their way.

Ooo!  Who doesn't want to see Harry?  I have a guess.  Can't wait to see if I'm right!

Hermione has a plan.  I wonder how it will go?  I really like your mature Neville. 

Ginny and Oliver seem to be doing the best so far.  Let's see what a month has brought ...

Oh, they're gonna fight it tooth and nail, aren't they? 

Loved this:

“Do not stand here in my home and call me a liar, Granger!” “Then don’t sit here in your home and lie, Snape!”

GO HERMIONE!

Draco!!  Draco!!  Draco!!  heehee--  I'm hoping its him or I'm stumped.

ROTFL!!  Of course Ron would sleep through the deadline! Love Luna's reaction, too! It's just so her!

Oliver and Ginny seem to have hit it off fairly well.  

As for Severus ... I wanted to scream at him, "Come on, man! You can do better than that!"  LOL 

Can't wait to see what happens next! 

Loved the conversation with Harry and Hermione.  I'm glad they've talked things out somewhat.  George has a good head on his shoulders.  I really like the brotherly interaction.  But what's Ron thinking going to sleep? 

I am really enjoying this!!

Oh, be Malfoy! C'mon for some Drarry!

XD

I love how Luna is making progress with Ron and forcing him to accept his own culpability. If she allows him to play the "You Owe Me For Trapping Me" card, he will always hold it over her head as a debt she can never fully repay. The same goes for all of the couples, really. 

Loving it more and more!  Have I mentioned how much I like seeing Oliver?  He's really an underused character in fanfic. It's nice to see him here, and putting him with Ginny really makes sense.

So much anger all the way around.  These wedding nights should be interesting.  And what will Harry do?  So glad there's more for me to read! 

Woot!  Drama and angst galore! I love it!  Severus is really in full Snape-mode -- yay! 

Loved this line the most: “Right,” Severus said, making the word long and drawn out. “Azkaban it is then.” 

Oh, this is gonna be so much fun to watch!

I love this!  There are so many great things, but I really have to say I love a scheming Luna!  One of my favorite things ever!  I can just picture the scene with all three of them.  *giggles*  All six reactions were priceless!  I'm so glad there's more for me to read!

This is funny. I like it.My guess for the last question would be Draco Malfoy :-)

Erm, Uncle Vernon? LOL. Sorry, he's the only one I've read who'd use the word 'effing'... although what Uncle Vernon doing so far away in Italy, I have no idea...

It seems to me that the two couples we have here seems to be so determine to call it off after a year. Well, on the husbands' side though. I don't know if *I* can face it, let alone live together for a month now by having to listen to such hurtful remark. "Really, we may live under the same roof but comes a year, you and I are nothing but two separate people..." Urgh!

But I see Ginny and Oliver are moving on just fine... at least one out of three eh?

I love Mrs Weasley's howler though... I wonder if the howler will only disperse when Ron had rectify the situation...

i cant wait for the next chapter and is ron really being and ass and how slytherine of lunashe is playing a very good gamethank you for the story

YAY!! Another great chapter! Thanks so much for your timely updates! This is one of my favorite stories!!

OMG Who is it???! It's a Slytherin I'm sure of it. I want to say Draco, but... Hmmm... I also want to say Zabini, because I don't care what the colour of his skin is, he could still be half Italian, dammit! Or it could be a girl! OMG it could be Pansy and they could fall in love! :D How about a hint?

And yay Luna getting enough, and Ron beginning to realise how he's treating her. They are totally on the right track now, and I'm sure the Howler will burn once he accepts that. 

And Severus and Hermione are getting places too, although somewhat more slowly. At least he seems to begin to understand that he's got more forthcoming. That whole thing was his own fault, he could just have told her that it was because of Lily and there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding. But on the other hand it was probably a good thing that he didn't at first. They're getting places now. Hermione definitely is, she's totally falling :D

I missed Ginny and Oliver, but from the bit about the Prophet it appears they're doing quite well without too many problems. I'm not surprised, they've been the most rational people about it all along.

A serial killer though? I wonder who that could be?

"Harry effing Potter," eh?

Right off the bat, I'm not sure, other than Draco?

And of course I'm also wondering whether Harry is gay or straight in this fic.

But mainly I'm looking forward to seeing how our favorite pair spark together, with a side order of Ron and Luna!

Good story!  I'm glad to see it updated and look forward to the next chapter!

Draco seems to be the obvious choice for Harry to meet, but I'm not sure if you would go with obvious. I'm also not sure that Draco would say Harry Effing Potter. The only people I can think of who might say that are Tonks, Seamus, and possibly some of the courser Slytherins. When you think of all the possible interactions with people you would normaly have in a school that large we barely got to know any of the characters. I know, it's Hufflepuff Justin. lol.

Seems like Ron needs to come off it - he obviously does fancy his new wife. And Sev needs to stop feeling sorry for himself as well. I wonder if Hemrione will pull a Luna and tell her husband off, right and proper one day.

You continue to write well-crafted chapters that keep me interested and eager to have more.  Thank you.

gits... those boys are gits.  being mean to Luna is like beating a baby - cruel.  I hope Molly really whomps down on Ron!  thanks for the new chapter.

This chapter was great! I love that the relationships are tumultuous and exciting and that no one really just jumped into "Hey, here we are. I love you now!" My only critique would be that Hermione isn't quite as huffy and puffy as she is normally, but your characterization of her makes total sense with your plot line. Hell, if I performed a charm and got matched up with my soulmate, I'd want to make it work too! Great work, and I can't wait for more.

Thank you so much for the update! I must say that I absolutely looooved your Luna in this chapter! Not only did you give her a backbone, you also let her say some very needed words to Ron. Yeh, yeh, I know he is supposed to pine for Hermione, his "true" love a while yet, but as Luna points out: the "poor me" routine he so often uses are tiering and unattractive. He is not un-intelligent, his skills in chess and quiddish shows that, but his "my way or no way at all" attitude is not very attractive and does not give much room for symphaty. In that regards, maybe his relationship with Hermione had been much better off if he had not only noticed that something wasn't quite right, but actually done something mature like talking to Hermione and tried to work things out in stead of pretending that everything was fine and dandy. Anyway, so far he is the kind of guy who needs to have someone yelling at him to allow some information into his brain, at least Luna got his attention that way. I hope for him that he will start using some of the analytic brain he uses in chess and sport to start analyzing his realationships with the opposite sex too, he migth find that he would come out the winner if he does:-))So, who did Harry meet in Italy? Something makes me guess that it is Draco Malfoy? Probably because it most often is, I belive he is more often paired with Draco than Ginny in the fanfic-world:-) Though I don't mind said pairing and have seen it very well done many times, I would love it if you proved me wrong and paired him with someone else, like Pancy, Millicent, or some other, most likely Slytherin, who doesn't admire the boy-wonder, but will come to like Harry for being just Harry. It was as usual a very well written chapter, and I loved it. It really makes me happy to see this story updated, i love it:-)) Update again soon!
