Cherchez La Femme

Seven years after leaving Hogwarts, Harry encounters a familiar stranger who promptly disappears, Ron and Hermione perfect their bickering while Ginny and Seamus appear to be the perfect couple, and everyone negotiates romantic complication.

Harry investigates the mystery woman, Ginny gets a promotion, Seamus gets lucky.

Ginny does some damage, Hermione receives a surprising offer, and Harry catches up with his mystery woman.

Delacours abound, and the author begs your indulgence as she tries to mimic their French accents. Meanwhile, Seamus looks Eastward, and Ron ups the ante in his bickerings with Hermione.

More Delacours, something to raise the eyebrows of both those for and against H/G, and the beginnings of a Draco cameo.

More Draco, Ron and Harry go out drinking and Gabrielle has a rock star moment in which she trashes her room.

The Seer who couldn't remember her past has startling visions of the future. Seamus returns, giving Ginny plenty to think about.

The cast of thousands convenes as Harry, Gabrielle, Ron and Hermione battle Narcissa and Lucius. Fleur frets, Sirius sulks, and Ron bickers with Fleur.
