For the readers who wanted to see Hermione embrace her dark side and wish Draco had chosen his own path. For the readers who wonder what dark and twisted path they might have walked together.

If you are that reader, and are brave, and maybe a bit foolish, come, step away from the madness and noise of this world and into a forest full of shadows and secrets. Pause for a moment to admire her darkness, to feel the cold breeze, to listen to the wind in the trees, to feel a prickle of fear.

Do you hear her song, sending roots deeper and deeper into your heart? Keep walking, reader, for if you hear her song, then it's already too late for my warning.

Those who walk into this forest do not often come back out.

Hi! I'm H.J. Nelson and I write stories about tangled love, wicked magic and heroines who survive what should shatter them.  A few quick notes on this story.  I will NOT be putting this story behind a paywall, it will remain 100% free to read here on Wattpad. I WILL ALSO BE UPDATING IT FREE ON SUBSTACK (and this would be my preference for where to read the story. My Substack is called "The Storywood" and is linked externally to this page. Please head over there if you want to read ahead, or read more about me and my writing process. 

Now, read on! H.J. out!
