Changing Courses in the Alternity-verse....

Aliethen asked:
Can you give us a sense of (a few of the) plots which were surprises but worked really well in the end? For example I always had the impression that Terry/Hermione was supposed to be endgame at first but Draco/Hermione ended up evolving organically...was I right? (Was it even known at first that Draco would be in the Order in the end?) Did you always know Harry and Neville would die?


I felt like that sort of thing deserves its own thread, so here. Discuss!

When this happened, did you as a player already know they'd get together, or was there still doubt? (It was fascinating to watch.)

I totally did not know! I just knew that Draco's pursuit of Hermione was going to make him do something stupid... and it did.

He actually believed Hermione wrote that note (he was drunk at the time, so there's that), which is just so funny it hurts.

I also like that moment because it shows just how crafty Teddy could be, and how insightful he was. Other than Sally Anne, he was the only one who figured out that Draco had a Thing for Hermione.

Yeah, Hermione had no idea Teddy had written that note and she certainly could have pointed out that it could not have been hers.

Well, Hydra might have figured it out. But she cheated, of course.
