Very interesting. The candle was clearly a well thought out magical item. Great creativity on your part.

Chapter 2
Merlin, how did he get himself into this mess?
I don’t understand the man. In the prologue, he seemed happy of being in the rank of the Dark Lord, even if a bit disappointed by all that ‘hiding and escaping’ thing. Instead, right now I have the impression I wasn’t a Death Eater for a full and conscious choice, but because he just had to do it.
I don’t want to think he is a double agent too, because it would have been such a easy solution. But I think the guy has still something left of his soul, enough for question his choice of life. Maybe he’s going to surprise me?
And… I was right! Pierce was the one that turned the corner. Even if I don’t think a half-drunken teacher can really be so intimidating. But, if he wants to gain Draco’s trust he doesn’t have to act all happy and kind… on the contrary, that would only make the boy more wary.
I liked how you described the different reactions of the two students: Ginny, being a Weasley and the very sister of her mischievous twins, hid immediately her wand. Instead, Draco seemed just bored, even if I dare say that he was a bit worried about being discovered arguing with a younger witch, and with his wand raised. It’s not like people weren’t looking for a reason to kick him out of the school!
I think you’re doing a fine job with Pierce… he’s more cunning than I thought, a fair enemy to Draco’s intelligence. And the idea of punish them both was just amazing. Pity for the teacher that this will cost him his mission, since I have the feeling the two students are going to became friends spending all that time together (well, I think there will be MORE than one detention, am I right?).
And I liked even how you make the two accepting the detention: Ginny being the understanding one and Draco being utterly pissed off. They are so true!
The only thing that didn’t convince me is Pierce behaviour with Ginny, the morning after. He’s still a professor, you know, and instead he acted like a student. Okay, he has to appear friendly (it’s not like McGonagall is going to accept another Snape, without proper references), but I have the sensation he is too much friendly. Are you sure Draco is going to accept someone that acted like that? But, on the other hand, I think it’s just amazing how you made Ginny and Draco interact immediately after. They actually talked, without saying a single word! Yeah, Ginny wasn’t happy at all about it, but I think this is just a prelude of the deep understanding they are going to have.
Last, I found the story about the candle a bit odd. Too much near the story about Harry’s Mirror of Erised, but it was till fascinating. Moreover, I have this weird feeling someone is going to find her using that candle… and it won’t be a happy meeting!
And now… chapter 3!

OK, way creepy. There's got to be something off about that candle...it's got me worried. But it's also interesting, because it sort of fits in with the title, right? Ginny's fate is sort of tied in with Harry, certainly not Draco.
You know what's frightening? I actually like Jonathon Pierce. A lot.

It is nice to see a new story from you. I am looking forward to seeing just how manipulative the new professor is, and just how dangerous this candle will turn out to be (it reminds me a little of the Mirror of Erised).

Hey, I really like this story. A lot of people seem to have been thrown by HBP and Dumbledore's death, but you're doing well writing a believable story. I love Pierce...he just seems too nice to be a Death Eater. Although, that's the point, I suppose. Update soon!

Oh, so cool! Another great story from HC!(bounces up and down excitedly.) I look forward to lots and lots more. It's fascinating to see Ginny left behind at Hogwarts with Draco, because I think it's very realistic as far as the way she would react, and also that Harry would have left her behind. (Although I certainly do hope that Ginny and Harry didn't have sex. Dear God, please, no.)

Jonathan Pierce is a very interesting character. I like his sense of ridiculousness with regards to Voldemort. Nice touch. I'm fascinated to see what the candle brings Ginny.
