Story Notes: Chapter 4 on its way!
1. Temptation by goldensnidget92 [ - ] (1539 words)
An unexpected visitor arrives at Malfoy Manor.
2. Contemplation by goldensnidget92 [ - ] (1312 words)
3. Preparation by goldensnidget92 [ - ] (2577 words)
Both of the scenes that appear in this chapter also appear in 'Half-Blood Prince' between the pages 121-122, and 143-147, UK edition. I've italicised any speech that I've had to take from the books.
Disclaimer: all the characters, and of course some speech, comes from the wonderful JK Rowling.
Enjoy!
4. Agitation by goldensnidget92 [ - ] (2148 words)
Again, I had to use a few quotes from the book for this chapter. They're from pages 175-80 of Half-Blood Prince, UK edition, and all italicised. Hope you enjoy reading :)
