Poor old Abelard, about to embark on a horcrux hunt. I think I've read on your LJ that he won't survive the experience? Interesting to have him do the search rather than the Trio, as I expect will be the case for (too) much of the seventh book of the series.
Weddings everywhere ... Tonks, now something for Jasmine looming in the wings maybe. At first I felt some umbrage on behalf of Jasmine for this matrimonial meddling, but I guess her family is stopping short of actually *forcing* an unwanted union upon her? I had a Pakistani acquaintance who married a girl whom he met via his family's arrangement (she was on a list) and he insisted that he was truly in love with her, it was just another means by which a couple could meet, so I guess such things are still practiced in the East.

Very nice! Thank you for pointing the way to this story, I am glad that you have you continued past TLOS. I think one of the things that I enjoy the most about your story (aside from the excellent quality of the writing)is how you have incorporated religion as a theme in it. It's mostly ignored in this fandom, but has made an interesting twist to an excellent story. Thank you!

hmmm... I think I shall have to re-read the story to be completely up on why these two are the main characters for this chapter.

These are OCs from TLOS - you'll be seeing more of them in upcoming chapters.

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!
