hey! great fic so far. well for me, when i read this chapter, i thought back to when i read "the scarlet letter" by nathaniel hawthorne. u know cuz of the red, blistered 'A' on draco's hand .. i dunno, if its wrong, sorry! i tried :)
Author's Response: Interesting! I knew when I started writing that SOMEONE would make the connection to The Scarlet Letter (which is one of the greatest peices of American literature ever written, IMO), but you're the first one so far...however, the "A" does not have the same meaning in this fic. But congratulations on being the first to make that possible connection!!

wasn't there a poem or folk tale about something like this. two roads one that have never been traveled on and one that have. but anyways good chapter.
Author's Response: There is a poem, called the "Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost...which is a great poem. But, I can honestly say that this story is not influenced by it...well, the intertextuality does exist, but I wasn't thinking of it while I was writing it (at least not consciously). The one thing I love about this site is that it contains so many well-read readers!

This is a great story, and I'm not really confused, except to wonder wether the clearing place is real, or in his mind.
Author's Response: If I told you, I'd have to kill you (but good thinking!)

Yes, I AM a tad confused..but not as confused as Draco must be, lol. What does Ginny think of all this happening? Does she even know what's going on? I hope Draco's on the right path!
So far so good!
Author's Response: Ginny's role in this....will be a little unorthodox, I guess you could say.
