“Voldemort and Elspeth are cousins. Voldemort’s mother is buried near Elspeth’s mother. And there’s a Horcrux in the grave.”
Holy jumping sheep shi+! No way!! ACK!! It's SO rude to leave me hanging there!
Too bad about the match though, bloody Cannon Keeper! *scowls*
They should get Gryffindor house mates to shine wand light at Ginny every now and again haha, make it look like the Snitch. But that's just my idea haha, I'm positive you have something amazing and sneaky up your wonderfully creative sleeve ^_~
Cheers on another awesome chapter!!

Interesting epithet. Your theory is interesting, as to what they should do in the next match.
Thank you, DK, for all your wonderful reviews. I really appreciate them.
Wow, this is what I call a fast update!
Ooh, what a bad news! A month without a new one? With an ending like this?
Well, a great chapter all in all. Poor things, such a loss! Of course it´s Harry to come up with some improvement ideas!
And I loved all the little things Harry-Ginny,position of hands, blazing looks, etc.
I wish Pascal good holidays, may the time fly by!

I am sorry, too, about the update, but it can't be helped. Thanks for your review.
Excellent chapter. I actually got a bit of a chill reading the bit about Merope's grave.
I'm glad the Hogwarts team didn't win the game. I know the Cannons are the bottom of the league, but how awful would it have been for them to be beat by a bunch of school kids. Of course, I expect that after the first game they'll be much more evenly matched and Hogwarts will probably come a lot closer to winning.
Thank you for writing and for sharing your work.

It would have been unrealistic for Hogwarts to win that match for the reasons you mention. We'll see what happens at the next match.
Peter, that was an excellent chapter. You are a master at building suspense while you further the plot. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up with Ginny's-
And the jinx that hit Elspeth when she was visiting her mum’s grave as a child must be there—”
“To protect Merope’s grave,” Hermione finished. “Voldemort and Elspeth are cousins. Voldemort’s mother is buried near Elspeth’s mother. And there’s a Horcrux in the grave.”
P S-Writing about a Quidditch game is very difficult to do but you managed very well.

Thank you, GK. A little suspense in the dialogue is kind of like aerobic exercise.
BTW, my excellent beta, Pascal, is going on vacation until the middle of June, so unfortunately this is the last update for a few weeks.
