Summary: Does Ginny have a serious rival?
Who is the most fancied bloke in the DA?
What Lunacies happen at Christmas?
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw House realising that this long planned story scrapes into prompt 3 (Operation Mistletoe) of the Great Hall-iday challenge, and that my story title is an even worse pun than the challenge title.
Lovely, so Luna!
Of course Nev is everyone's favourite, thanks for a bit of pre-Christmas cheer.

Of course he is, and you're welcome.-N-
Beard Hunters: A Yuletide Tale by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 14]

Consumer Warning: Like many Christmas gifts, this may contain nuts/nut traces.

Great story, Ginny and Harry spot on, good to see their relationship develop through your different stories.
Love the grandparents, such a creative idea.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Most of my recent H/G stories have been "Harry and Ginny Potter - parents of young children" and it was a lot of fun to return to their teenage snogging days :-DThe idea for the Potter grandparents came to me in a flash, and I thought, surely someone has done this before. It may be original, but in fanfic, I doubt it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
You'll find out how Mark survives his day in the third and final chapter.Rye is a beautiful little town, and that's from someone who doesn't like the south coast much.

Mark is so nice and Laveder is such a complex character, thay are great together.
Hope to hear more soon.
Well done on revealing another facet of the story.
Author's Response: Thanks.
I wanted to write a first-person Mark story (Lavender's already had one in Bare). It was supposed to be a one shot, like Bare. It grew to over 11,000 words so it will be three chapters of Mark doing what he's best at, worrying.-N-

A nice (and very Scottish) saying I’ve never heard before.I tried to make them a good fit. Luna certainly recognised a kindred spirit.

Very convincing story, we know that Tom went down some very strange roads trying to cheat death.
Like the idea of Camelia becoming less evil because of her contact with good and bad.
Author's Response: Thanks
The idea that Tom would consider becoming a vampire was one I really wanted to explore.Camelia somehow managed to take control of the story. Can she mend her ways?

Author's Response: Thank you. It took a surfeit of wine and an ill-considered bet, but yes. And Ginny is, in my opinion, very competitive. She would not want to lose. -N-
