Welcome back to writing. A nice mellow chapter to get back into things. The only critique I have is the mention of the Deathly Hallows. These are one of the worst plot devices ever created. It completely invalidates the struggle to learn and practice magic if the real powers lie in some pieces of magical technology instead. I hope their role is minor.

*smiles* I've got a nice twist on the hideous plot device that is the Deathly Hallows, never fear.

OK, so I've got the bit about Hallows and Horcruxes, and there seems to be something about Krum. Does "the wolf's darling kit" refer to Hermione?
Moving on, glad Ron's finally getting his head together re: Hermione - hope he will be telling her that soon, not just staying with Lavender because it's easy!
Please don't leave such a big gap next time (I know you are busy, but I just love this fic so much!). Thanks for a great new chapter.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Ah, but Ron's a boy, dear. They do stupid things because they're easy.

How can Harry be so trusting? And Meghan too. So who's the untrustworthy one? Nott or Dursley? Putting my money on Dursley. Hey, but then it could be the two of them. The prophecy was too long for me to make any immediate sense of it. But Meghan was supposed to save someone, there's something about hallowed objects so I gather the three hallows will be featured, cloak, stone and wand? Will look at it more carefully later.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Harry is trusting because he's learned to follow his nose, and Meghan because she's twelve and just went through a shocking experience. Yes, the Hallows will show up, but I don't think they'll be used quite as anyone expects.

"Oh Dastardly Slytherin Plots! this chapter made me tear up...It just reminds me that I missed a few chapters and have a great time doing it.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

You... er... had a great time missing a few chapters?

Welcome back!

Okay, so the third wand is the "Elder Wand", because of the reference to the "cloak" and "stone" (which are now where?). I can see the Horcruxes mentioned too...

The "curse" on "best-loved gift" - does this refer to Draco? (as Harry's brother)

hmmm...

Oh, and what _was_ Snape up to? Legilimency showing Meghan his own childhod?

Okay, I'm moderately stumped!

More mysteries for us - I look forward to seeing how you play all this out!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

No, you're not. Moderately stumped, that is--not if your review is anything to go by!

At long last, we've missed you!

/me scampers away to start figuring out prophecy ;-)

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Good luck with that.
