Well, interesting. Draco has finally said how he felt about Hermione, albeit by denying it in a lying game.;) However as she's at least half drunk at this point how will she respond and how much will she remember in the morning? Hopefully, having done it once he can actually say he loves her openly soon, preferably the following day.

Not a lot of stuff obviously happening on the wider picture, at least for the moment. However a few new characters introduced and suspect Evelyn and Adeline will have roles to play. I hope that the distressed Dr Hammond isn't going to end up being the ripper but that's a possibility that came to mind.

  Take your time with the story and post when your ready.  If real life gets in the way no problem, as there are far more important things going on, especially at the moment.  Keep well.

No problem with any delays. The story will come when it comes and everybody has something more important to think about at the moment.

There was a big reveal with Caleb's research. If anyone who sees them use magic, except possibly members of Osiris's family, dies almost immediately then that's a serious restriction on when they can use their power.

Still a lot of tension between the two couples and also between Draco and Blaise, although at least Draco and Hermione are half way then in calling each other love and definitely being interested in getting physical.

It also sounds like that spell Caleb remembers from the page he brought back from Egypt could get used. I'm wondering whether that will be part of the last test with the other three lending the fourth, who I suspect would be Draco taking some sort of time travel trip.

One question is has Caleb realised yet that this trial probably involves the ripper? That would really send his concerns about his daughter, as well as the 4 through the roof.

Anyway look after yourself and hope you keep well.

Good to see that Caleb survived and that he at least found someone else as he has a daughter. I had a feeling when you said Lucy had a southern accent you meant US rather than UK. ;) However he's definitely worried to see the party again, which is rather concerning.

Sounds like their in hot water with the ministry, but hopefully Kingsley will understand when its explained. Although he's likely to be unhappy about not being told earlier and as they discussed he could have problems politically with pressure for him to do something.

It sounds like Ginny's going to be threatened by the ripper, which since he, as far as we know, only went after known prostitutes is a bit odd. It could be that somehow she is mistaken as such, that she is playing the role to try and trap him or something else. However given what's happened so far its going to be bloody traumatic for her so that's going to be an issue. Then we have the 5^th challenge which will presumably affect them all, or just possibly Harry in some way as, while the 4 don't know it he is now linked into them.

Good interchange between Pansy and Luna about Pansy's relationship with Harry and how she shouldn't try to be too much like Hermione. :)

My thought with what they can and can't do is they don't know in detail who lives and dies so for instance if in slightly different circumstances one of them saved Tala's life that could have been what's intended.  Similarly here, if the timing is after the Ripper's final victim its quite possible that he's not heard of again because they actually stop him - probably by killing him given his nature and that he obviously won't be arrested and charged with his crimes.  Which I would quite like to see happening. :)

  Anyway, see what you come up with.

Loved the twist at the end with Caleb! I cannot wait to see what Ginny's trial is. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I thought I read somewhere that the Ripper had a preference to red heads or something for his victims (that or I'm just remembering the movie From Hell). Either way I cannot wait to see how the story works itself out. I have a suspicion the Ripper will be a patron of the tavern. It would make sense how they run into Ginny honestly if they stick around the place.

Once again another fantastic chapter! i love how you intergraded the past and the present and showed everything happening at once. But I have to say that I literally cried when Tala's scene came up. That Ohiyesa man is a ruthless asshole and I hope that spell Hermione used on him kills him in the end. I hate that dude. And my god poor Caleb! That man needs a break from everything.

I do also love that Ron could see past that hate he should have for Thorfinn and without hesitating called him in to help with harry.

I know I missed the deadline for guessing and I'm okay with that. I have a strong feeling where the group his headed but I can't say for sure what month you're starting in. But I can't wait to see what you do with them in Jack the Rippers time! I loved studying him in school!

Another totally awesome chapter! I'm glad they're finally getting out of the Civil War era though, rememebering the way my native ancestors were treated is always upsetting.  The next era is pretty easy to figure out, but I have no guess on the date for it. I like being surprised anyway. :)

Damn I was hoping Tala and Caleb would come through OK. Had a feeling Ohiyesa would cause problems but didn't think the worthless little s**t would sink that low. :( Hopefully Caleb survives but he's now both a Confederate deserter and hated by the tribe he befriended. I shouldn't be surprised if Ohiyesa seeks to play on that and possibly even tries to blame Caleb for the attack.

Given that the Confederates are possibly only really hunting in this area because their after Draco and gang their already changed history so would have preferred seeing them go to town on the attackers. In the chaos of battle its unlikely that any survivors who got back to rebel lines would have been believed and a lot of innocent lives could have been lost.

Sounds like Harry's connection to Draco is getting more intense. Which is going to cause him a lot of problems and possibly Draco if it starts going both ways.

I have my suspicions about where their going next, although that might be too easy, as one word in particular seems to be a give away.  Mind you I was totally wrong last time. ;)

Oh wow okay, first blinny was unexpected but totally worth the wait to see them fianlly get together together. I love a stuttering Blaise and how he admited he loved her. It was too adorbs! But that O dude is an asshat! I can see why Tala chose Caleb over him. He's definitely someone to keep an eye on.

Second! That dramione moment was so cute. I love that even though Hermione didn't trust Draco in the beginning she still accepted his gift and tried to give him a chance. Even though it took awhile for her to fully accept that she really liked him and wanted to be with him. Which is understandable due to their history with each other.

Now for that ending! I am legit on the edge of my seat and can't wait for the next update. I hope everything will turn out alright but knowing how you are writing this story, twists and turns will be all over the place haha! I'm excited though to see the clue for the next era! Each chapter just keeps getting better and better!

Yay, another awesome chapter! You make me look forward to every sunday, because I just know there will be another chapter to this amazing story. :D

Well that ended in a cliff-hanger. Sounds like a bit of a battle coming up. I wonder how a Confederate raiding party will do against four angry witches, albeit two not being there yet. Regardless of what Tala wants I can't see any of them holding back if they or their friends are in danger. [Which makes me wonder what if any controls the wizards councils have at the time on unauthorised magic use. I think in time of war and with their lives threatened, not to mention their not going to be there much longer anyway so not an issue.] Hopefully not just our four heroes but also most all of the others come through OK.

A couple of queries please, possibly me missing something simple.

a) Tala is very hostile to the idea of them using magic at all, even in defence of the tribe but she didn't seem to be concerned at all about Hermione and Draco having used it to expand their tent for instance?

b) Wouldn't the quickest way for Ginny and Blaise to warn the main camp is by sending a message. Ginny has been contacting Draco every couple of hours anyway under their agreement so its possible. True it sounds like it would be too late as the attack has already started. Also if the two Confederates are prisoners of the hunters wouldn't they want to tell them so they could all return to the main camp ASAP? Rather than quietly sneaking out. Unless your thinking is that there are other rebels watching the camp?

I'm guessing the watcher is the obnoxious Ohiyesa and he's going to be seeking to cause problems. Wouldn't be too surprised, since he hates Caleb even more than the mages and a rebel deserter is probably even more at risk that the Shawnee, if he's actually informed on them.

Good to see Blaise and Ginny having some fun. Well Hermione did as well at the dance but you know what I mean. ;) Plus good to see her looking and acting a lot better and more like her old self.

It sounds like the next one will be the last before the charm will be moving onto the next location. In which case I wonder who will be tested next. Anyway looking forward to seeing what happens next. Plus seeing the other two couples catching up with Blaise and Ginny in the smut activity. :)

  Anyway have a happy week and looking forward to next weekend. :)

I forgot to say Happy belated Birthday as well!!! I'm sorry. I'm an iditot lol.

This is so amazing! Sorry for the late review. It's been a busy week. But first things first. Hansy...is freaking adorable! I love them together so much. Normally I'm not much of a Harry and Pansy person but the way you have slowly built them up makes me like them. You are doing a great job with that couple. They are realistic and pair well together. It doesn't seem forced like some other stories I've read with them together. Also...Luna is the shit! I love her in this story. She's so genuine and caring. Not as loopy but amazing all the same.

Now I noticed Blinny wasn't in this chapter which makes me wonder what sort of twist youre gonna do with them or if we are going to see more of a focus on them next chapter. I can see why they weren't really in this chapter though because the main focus for now was on Dramione. But you have me curious.

For Dramione, I loved the scene in the woods and how Draco accidentally bit off more than he could chew with Hermione. Though I am happy he was finally able to break her walls down which allowed her to heal more. And I love that you also showed him still having ptsd. A lot of stories seem to do something bad to one of the characters but then have them contiune on with life as if they are fine. I really love that you showed his mental state too. Well done. This story keeps getting better and better and I am so happy there are still three more eras to go. I never want this story to end!

Well 1^st of all belated happy birthday.

Another good chapter although both Dracoime and Hansy seem to be so doubtful of themselves that you wonder if they will ever start listening properly to what the other is actually saying and take it at face value. I get the feeling it will probably be Ginny and Blaise that actual accept their a couple 1^st.

Good interaction between Luna and Pansy. Also a nice twist Draco managing to get to Hermione and start her understanding then having a painful flash-back herself. Their all damaged people who have gone through a lot even before the four were thrown back into this adventure but helping each other out is their best way forward.

Anyway another very interesting chapter and looking forward to the next. Keep well.

Hansy – I like it. :) Also like the developing relationship there, especially now Pansy is starting to admit she fancies Harry and also Harry's reveal about the use of the cloak.

Well it sounds like Hermione is starting to heal and also coming out of the depression and self-hatred she had before.

Ginny was a fool not to mention to either of the guys that the hunting trip was for four days, especially considering the possibility the amulet would be ready for them to move on before then. Not surprised that Draco was outraged and a bit that Blaise wasn't similarly angry and left it to Draco to read her the riot act. Going to be interesting to see how Ginny asked Hermione for permission, and how things go then.

Also a bit surprise the hunting trip will last that long as it presumably means going some distance and given there is a full scale war going on with elements of two armies on the rampage they could run into problems, either being attacked by mistake or attempts to conscript them. Or is the battle over by now and the Confederates in retreat. Losing track of how much time has past but checking it ended a couple of days back so that might be the case.

Anyway looking forward to seeing more. Plus from Ginny's comments about why she wanted Blaise to come with her are we going to get some spice? ;)

Wow....that was so amazing! hansy is so adorable and that argument between Draco, Blaise, and Ginny was so sweet. But Hermione. That poor girl. I'm glad she's finally seeing hope again and that Tala was able to help her. I love me some Tala. She is so amazing and thoughtful. I need her in my life. I think we all do actually. Caleb needs to marry her and soon! I would love to read a native american wedding. She is so perfect for him. They fit so well together. Excellent chapter!
