For this story and the previous one, Leetters of Summer, I applaud you. This is the first story line I have seen that has incorporated religion of any kind and you have done so in a kind and caring way. I have enjoyed the stories and am looking forward to more. I, myself, was raised Roman Catholic and was quite serious in my belief well into adulthood until the church started making chages in the services. Even then it took a while, but it seemed that they were seeking to compete with other variations of Christianity and not stay true to itself and its history. Anyway, a well done to you for an enjoyable and engrossing story. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for the Chapter.
Jasmine and Abelard have always been two of my favorite characters. I think it is that distrust of Dumbledore thing.

thanks again for sharing

It was interesting to have a chappie that involved neither Harry or Ginny. As I'm rather fond of all your original characters, especially Jasmine, I rather enjoyed it! Good job! Esp. on the updating quickly!

Pleasant interaction between two interesting characters. A little back-story filling.

Thanks for sharing.

Firstly this is a fantastic universe, and it was wonderful to see another update in such a short time. I enjoyed reading the introduction of the horcrux hunt into this universe and the other thing that struck me was the conversation between Jasmine and Abelard about Voldemort - probably as it showed little emotion as they are not personally involved.
Look forward to reading more.

Good Job, John.

I still like the mirroring, where first Abelard talks of his own history w/Romance, and then we unexpectedly turn to Jasmine's.

best,

This is an interesting chapter. I was under the impression that Jasmine was committed to helping Abelard. Now it seems that she is free to become betrothed to a man that she can accept or reject as she sees fit. Changes some things. I wonder how it will affect Harry and Ginny to have Jasmine leave Abelard if that were to happen. Thank you for an interesting chapter. pms

I can hardly believe that I get two updates in such a short time frame. I understand you were in that peculiar hell known as "meetings" or was it a "conference"? ;-)

Seriously, I really like Jasmine, goon on her to get a beau. And don't get me started on Abelard, he's the grandfather I wish I had.

Thanks for another great update. I can't wait to see Lupin & Tonks tie the knot.

Cheers!

If she's really a War Witch, you won't have to act quickly, you'll just have to survive when she comes to collect you. ;)

Thanks, John! I needed a pick-me-up. Glad to hear what Jasmine's up to!

Enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for sharing it.

Awww how CUTE!

K nuff of that. Not alot of action (See None) not that this is a problem. Obviously this is storyline continuation, and it doesn't all need to be hack and slash, expecally around christmas. Loved the so called prank however, and thinking of ginny in that dress {Lecherous Grin}

On the whole, excellent story.

"I won’t bother to describe the dress because you wouldn’t appreciate the sewing details . . ."

And as a fellow male, I thank you for NOT exposing us to such a description :)

Thanks for the fun little chappie.

Very nice to see new chapters coming. I greatly enjoyed reading it, thanks!

I do wonder, however, about some of the continuity. According to the last chapter of TLoS, Harry only had to go back to the Dursleys for a weekend.

And after making it a plot point about the bond bothering them if they're apart for more than a day or two, I don't understand why they weren't getting together every other day or something.
