Faithless light is lucius?
But reflected shadow... Narcissa?
It would make sense...
Since the serpent/draco comes from them...
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Well done! "reflected" is a pun on the myth of Narcissus, btw.

Nice to know Peter was decent in a different universe.
I feel like i've reached the top of the roller coaster/luge ride and now i'm tipping forward into a downward motion.
If that made sense...
Go Draco!!!
The Boy Who Defeats Dementors!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Yes indeedy. The tipping point may not be quite this chapter but it's very close now.

So the threats are coming to a head in both worlds simultaneously. Makes a certain amount of sense. Hmm... wonder if Draco gets to help Harry with Voldy, and then Harry gets to help Draco with the dementors?
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Indirectly, but yes.

Wait, let me guess, the serpent is Draco, right? This is certainly an interesting plot twist, so good job on that. Each chapter just makes me anticipate the next even more! I really need to re-read this from the beginning though.

Yep, "serpent" is Draco, and "faithless light" and "reflected shadow" are each a person. Guess who?

this is so You!
Just when I'm trying to keep it al together in this mad rollercoaster that is your mind (NO! I will NOT leave just because I hate heights. Lol) you suddenly throw in a prophecy that I had forgotten about!
Amazing. You love doing this way to much but I love you for it.
Thanks.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Mwahaha. I'm not sorry and you can't make me be! :-)

HAHAHA! The end is just pure gold, seriously.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Yeah, Cecy's not much for self-blame. She sees too much of it.

I'd been wondering what happened to Peter Pettigrew in the Beauvoiverse . . .
It sounds like the dementors are getting worried. I would be too. The first sign was already fulfilled back in Chapters 47-49, the second will be when Draco manages to bring Snape's soul across the worlds to inhabit Snape-BV's soulless body ("no sight" puzzles me--will he be blind?), the third . . . I can't guess, but it worries me. Who's going to forswear Luna--and which Luna?
Thanks for the updates; now, back to work! :whipcrack: :-)
Anne B. Walsh replied:
I hadn't intended the 47-49 arc to be the first part of the prophecy, but it does sorta work. Neat. "No sight" is another of my extreme sneakinesses. No one's going to forswear Luna--Luna herself will become forsworn. Aie, a whip! :ducks: (If you want a hint, "no sight" and "forsworn" are the same kind of wordplay, one I'm very fond of.)

Thank you for the note on where to find the prophecy!
You're getting a little *too* good at writing obscurity into those, I think. (No, actually I admire the skill that goes into making them get progressively less easy to interpret line by line, I'm just frustrated by my inability to be a smartypants all the time and figure it out.) Draco is going to give someone a baby mole? What?
When you're writing one of these prophecy-based fics, do you write the story first, then the matching prophecy? Or does the prophecy come first?
Thank you for all these lovely updates!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
I think out the story first, definitely. I could never be as sneaky as I am in the prophecies otherwise. As for writing... it goes brain, fingers, screen. I don't hoard chapters, except in my mind.

Seems like the action in one world is already starting....^^ Or finally? Whatever. It was great, that's all that matters!
I, as always,. can't wait to read the next chapter!
Cya!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Next chapter coming as soon as it can be written!

I think Harry speaks for all of us...Hope you are not too tired to update again soon (hint, hint).
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Yeah, this is a definitely not good development.
