Maybe Cho Chang? Man alive, Severus needs to get a grip!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! I think it would be hard to know that someone died--not just someone, but someone you loved very much--died because of something you did. I know I would have a hard time dealing with that....Not saying about the mystery person, but that will be up next! ;-)

Well, at least Severus has started to open up to Hermione. Its a start.One tends to forget Luna is so smart because of her weird behaviour. But she is lovely and wise too. Silly Ron.Cant wait to see who is in the Italian Ministry.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

! Yes, I agree. Of course, the alcohol helped, but I think he will see he can trust her more now.Luna is smarter than Ron thinks, and we will see just how smart soon! ;-)The mistry person is up next.

I'm delighted with the fact that Severus and Hermione are slowly starting to communicate. And I'm extra delighted that Luna put her foot down. And Harry -- just who is this mystery person that showed up? Draco? Hmmmm. Can't wait to find out!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

! ;-) Glad you enjoyed the chapter!I think there would come a time when anyone would get tired of Ron's behavior, even Luna--even though she truly loves him. ((Not Draco))

I expected Molly to really blow up and she seemed way too calm and agreeable to all this. It’s nice to see every couple as they bounce through the awkward phrase of their relationships. I do hope you match up Harry. He could really use a soul mate too.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks Bea! Right now, Molly is in shock, it hasn't really sunk in yet. We'll see her again though, once it does. Don't worry, I won't leave Harry hanging! ;-)

Ron sleeps while Luna waits alone for him.... grrrr.... Well, Oliver seems to be taking things wel, and I think he and Ginny will adjust quickest. Severus and Hermione - longest. That's my best guess for now, as I await your next chapter to prove me wrong! Thanks for updating.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Teehee! Right, Luna is alone. Don't worry, I will fix that before too much longer. Glad your enjoying, even though aggravated with Ron! ;-)

I snickered so much reading Molly's reaction. I loved that part. Bwahahahaha

Thanks so much! She's not done yet!

Well this seems like a good set up chapter. It looks like Oliver and Ginny might be the most comfortable with each other so far. But George's straight talk with Ron did some good too -- although I hope Ron doesn't over sleep. (I love the line: "I just happen to love you more. Ron") But Hermione and Severus, now there is trouble waiting to happen. Still loving your story. I can't wait for more. Thanks, JoAnne

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks so much JoAnne! I am so happy you're enjoying it! I am almost done with chapter 5 now!

Well, those were a few talks they needed to have! I love how fearful Ginny is of her mum; and how thoughtful George was, how he'd noticed how things were going, but knew they were all too hard-headed to listen to a prankster's advice. Hope Ron doesn't sleep to long, or Luna may have to track him down at work to ...formalize their wedding...

Really enjoying this so far! Looking forward to the next!

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

THanks! Yep, needed to clear the air at least a little! Teehee I still have some fear of my mom! Yeah, George was in a position to see everything, especially now that Fred is gone. He knew they wouldn't listen to him though. More coming up soon, over half-way done with the chapter.

Ahh the irony, I always wondered what would happen if it had been THE BOYS who cast the charm instead of always being a female flaw.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yeah, that would be a hoot! But the prompt said specifically Hermione, Ginny and Luna. You write a fic where the men cast the charm! I would like to see that!

Nothing like an outside view to see what's really wrong. George really cut to the heart of the matter, as did Hermione. Let's see how a step back and a little time adds perspective for our everyone involved.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! RIght, I agree. It's easier to see things clearly when you step back, the problem is, is that sometimes its hard to step back!

*bounces* I loovvee this chapter! Molly's reaction was hysterical, I can totally see her laughing and thinking it was all a prank. Harry was a jerk blaming everything on Hermione. It was nice that they worked things out but I really adore a petulant Harry. uh oh ~ Ron fell asleep? *laughs evilly* So does he end up in Azkaban for not sealing the deal? *waits anxiously for the next chapter*

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks so much! I am glad you liked Molly's reaction! Harry was feeling sorry for himself, and she was handy! More up soon!

Hmn, Harry needs a political wife does he? (snickers) I've just had a wonderful, awful, brilliant idea!! Harry preforms the charm himself and ends up with ... wait for it ... (snickers) ... Daphne Greengrass!!! Too fun, yeah? After all, she's a Slytherin, so she's bound to be no stranger to politics - plus: she's always been a background character so you can play with her a bit. (Possibly a blonde, pale-purple eyed, willowy bombshell with a brain hidden underneath! (Hermione has the academia intellect and Daphne has the political/people intellect.)) You love me - admit it!Happy Snorkack Hunting (don't you just love Luna?),~Sempra

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Teehee! Yep, a Minister needs a political wife, after all!Daphne Greengrass? Hmmm. Not bad and worth giving some thought to. I do love you! :D You've got my wheels spinning at any rate.Luna is awesome--something that Ron will eventually find out!

Well that was interesting. I'm surprised Molly didn't blow and Harry is so much calmer.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

. Well, Molly is in shock and Harry is resigned. He knows deep down that his feelings for Ginny were not what they should've been to make a marriage work.

I get excited each time I see a new chapter up. I can't see how the new couples get along on their first day together. :)

I'm surprised to see George beeing so perceptive. That's a nice change. Now I'm really looking forward the wedding nights.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Yeah, I think he has some brains in there somewhere, and is perhaps a bit more serious without Fred...

Arabella Bloodgood

Who would have thought that George had it in him? I still think Severus protest too much. Harry will pull through.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! I think George has to have some kind of smarts, inventing all of those things! Severus definitely does not want to be married to 1/3 of the trio AND he still does love Lily, even though she's been gone years. Yep, Harry will be just fine, I won't leave him without! ;-)

i think severus is in denial. actually i think they all are in denial. but i hope harry finds someone to be his soul mate. this is such a good story. keep up the good work.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks! Of course they are all in denial! ;-) Half of them were engaged to someone else. Added to that, they don't really "like" their mate... I'm glad you like it! More up soon.

I'm glad to see they are all starting to evaluate their relationships. I abhor the thought of Hermione stuck with Running Ron the rest of her life. I'm interested in seeing how you develop Oliver's character, and whether the couples will give in and make the best of the situation or just fight each other every step of the way.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

Thanks. Well, throughout all the "madness'" I wanted them to have a mature moment. Trust me, they are just getting to know one another--it won't be smooth sailing! teehee

So they're all slowly beginning to understand and come to terms with the way things have to be for a while at least. Except Luna. Where's Luna? Is she all alone and hurting somewhere? With no-one to support her, even if she's the one mostly responsible for this mess.

I loved George here. I love how he can show a serious side like this, even though he knows that it might be difficult for others to take him seriously because he's a prankster. It just means that when he does get serious, it's really time to listen. I liked that a lot.

But I still say Luna needs some friendly support and non-shouty 'what were you thinking?' and little bit of 'I-like-you-anyway'-loving.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

THanks! Well, they're understaning some at least, I don't know about coming to terms with things yet. I am glad you liked George. I figure he has to have a brain somewhere in there in order to come up with all of those things. ;-)Luna will be up next!

Now you did surprise me with Molly's reaction - she took quite better than I expected.

Loved the talk between Hermione & Harry, as well as the one between Ron & George. He's rather insightful.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Magical Betrothal)

LOL Molly is still in shock. She is not happy about this--at all!Glad you enjoyed the talks.
