Great sequel and I hope you get inspired to continue it.

Growls, a bit convenient to have tara and spike back, especially as i don't like spike. And i still find this "love" between him and buffy quite wacky.

Huh? Tara isn't back...

Uh? Harry receives willow's mail, and decides not to give it to her???? That's...Weird. And decidedly not polite at all!!

It always makes me kind of laugh when i hear Dumbledore saying a reason about who he hires as a DADA teacher, given his abysmal record.
:p

I really liked the end of the chapter, though the beginning irked me, at the same time for the "true love" thing, for the *spike* being the true love, even after what happened between them (a hate/love/dependence relationship, then once spike had his soul, kind of wary of each other, and the finale scene of chosen so screamed lying, or at least that buffy doesn't know what she wants).

I am a bit worried about the whole willow should not become a witch thing, and her loss of power...i still think a simple meditation should get rid of the problem, or at lest identify it, but...

Hum...Willow has been known to teleport, so things could be simpler for her in order to find oz or go to sussex, and i wonder hwy she didn't try and copy/Drain the library books, or is it too dark? Glad for the willow/Tonks, though i like willow/hermione too!

Nice so far, hoping this isn't a willow/snape story, as i kind of despise snape, but i guess it's a bit late ot say one way or another :p

Great story. Please update!

Tsk, tsk. Albus warding everyone. *sigh* Just because you SHOULD be a soulless-bloodsucking vampire... I loved the note about Spike's arms actually having been cut off, I'd completely forgotten. Why aren't any of Dawn's letters getting through though? You'd think Harry wouldn't just keep Willow's letters from her. So when does Tonks show up? I'm really enjoying your story, and I'm looking forward to the next part. =)

Hey, just wanted to say that I'm loving this story, and I think you're doing an excellent job. I noticed how you like to have things true to cannon though, and while I'm not sure about an exact exchange rate,

"I think the current exchange rate is something like two and a half Galleons per pound. It's twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, seventeen Sickles to a Galleon." -Harry

That would put the value of a galleon close to the value of one US dollar, which would be very cheap for a gold coin, not to mention the Weasleys never seemed to have more than one galleon. Sorry, I know it's a very small point. Maybe if Sickles were worth two and a half pounds? *shrugs* I could just be crazy...

Well actually, this is wrong *sweatdrop*. It's actually worth twice that - 5 pounds. But at the time, I hadn't discovered the currency converter on hp-lexicon. I'll change this when I have time, after I've found the next chapter (which is currently wearing an invisibility cloak and lurking in my c drive ^^.)

Yes!!! I'm so glad Spike came back- although, the scene in which he returns inspires more questions than it answers: does Buffy actually die?? I'm kind of hoping not, and hoping he bloody gets over the Immortal.
I think I have the prophecy figured out, except that I'm not sure who the jeweler is. Then again, every time I think that, I read the next chapter and have to totally rethink everything. I know you haven't updated in a while, but I'm a hopeful kind of girl, so I'm hoping you'll finish the story so's I find out whether I'm right, and who's draining Willow's magic???

I am really enjoying the story. Please add more. I am looking forward to seeing what happens.

I really like this story. It's well written and I like how you add notes at the end of chapters to explain where certain things came from. I hope you update soon as I can't wait to read more.

Damn, I was loving this story, the way you didn't just have her get a letter one day and be a teacher the next, but put a bit of thought into it and I really like the way you have the characters going.

Unfortunately you lost me when you brought in Spike. I hope Dawn picks him up and takes him back to Buffy's arms soon. He was an excellent villain, made Angelus look like a nappy commercial, but ever since the Innitiative he's been more boring than first season Xander (who seemed to get better as Spike got worse). And please don't let him know about the wizarding world, everybody just assumes that because he and angel are vampires and have lived a measly 100 to 250 years that they would automatically know about wizards, witches and their world.

Sorry for the rant, and I know you'll take the story any way you damn well please and I'm sure I'll continue to love it whether Spikes in it or not.

Anyway keep up the good writing and power to your muses.

The reason i gave this chapter such a middling review is two-fold:

1. Never poll your readers to determine where the story goes. That's the mark of an amateur.
The only place that's really allowable are round-robin stories that share multiple authors, or stories open to editing by anyone who wants to.
2. There's a mechanism in place now to reply to reviews. You really need to re-edit the existing chapter to make use of it if you're going to continue this fic, which I hope you do.

Without those two errors, this story would would so far rate at least a 7.
