‘Yes, there‘s always Stonehenge,‘ said Everard rather stiffly.

So is this Everad's version of courting?

Also anytime Stonehenge is mentioned I think of this wonderful 📸 my husband took. Love how he caught the bird flying through.

TheBookHippie I wondered too- is he trying to be romantic ? 2y
AnneCecilie I think so. He did start talking about marrying and how an excellent woman might be what he was looking for. But Mildred killed that pretty fast. 2y

peanutnine @TheBookHippie @AnneCecilie I agree, I think he's just awkward and bad at compliments. And she is oblivious and still determined that he is interested in Helen 2y
BarkingMadRead The two of them are so clueless! Asking about the Napiers twice is definitely not helping! 2y
julieclair The whole lunch scene was cringe-inducing. Between Everard‘s awkward attempts at conversation, and Mildred‘s complete inability to comprehend that he might be interested in her, I couldn‘t wait for the meal to be over! How in the world are these two ever going to get together? 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair that's what I'm wondering! 2y
DivineDiana Yes! A lovely photograph of Stonehenge! And albeit awkward, I am glad to see that they are having a “date”! (edited) 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @DivineDiana it's one of his best! And I spotted a typo to fix. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2y
DivineDiana Missed the typo entirely! 🙂 2y

I had forgotten this #taboo idea of not using you-know-who's name. It's a nice small detail. Solves the mystery of just how they were discovered when they first hid after the wedding. Great to see Ron trying to make amends. Keep trying boyo!! Confession. I kept reading (two more chapters), but I will stay on target. Thanks for new #themes, @Redjewel_7734

Jhullie I kept reading too! 🤓△⃒⃘ 7y
Redjewel_7734 You're welcome! My only quibble with the Taboo is how many times they said Voldemort's name when they were at Grimmauld place but it didn't break the protective spells there. A small plot hole, but it is there 🤔 7y
hgrimes @Redjewel_7734 I think it's because it's protected by the Fidelius Charm. That's always been my interpretation anyway. 7y

Harry is greedy for knowledge about Voldemort, and Dumbledore has enough to keep him intrigued. But it's Voldemort's #greed here that is all-consuming and corrupting. Rereading now, I think maybe Dumbledore should have moved sooner, faster, something. But just like with us today, what can be done to stop people who really want to disrupt, cause terror, and frighten innocents?

It's a pretty intrepid tale, and I love how the pair of them don't give in easily. But the injuries don't match the story. I wonder if Umbridge hadn't interrupted, would Hagrid have succumbed to the constant questioning? Maybe.

suvata Hard to believe we're already halfway through Book 5. 7y
Missusb I know @suvata how is this challenge meant to last all the way to Nov? I reckon we'll be done with them all by September 7y

This chapter is exciting and Bagman's commentary almost makes missing the other three Champions worth it. Good to see Ron back where he belongs, and one task is done. Only two to go.
