hmm...while I was waiting for this chapter to get validated (by the way, it's a very nice intro into book 3) I was thinking about who the mysterious killer would be. I thought about Remus, just because I didn't know who else, but poor Remus, he wouldn't hurt a fly! And, in the lack of Professor Moony, could this possibly open the door to Professor Padfoot or not? So the whomping willow scene can happen....hmm...well this could get interesting....I can't wait until Chapter 2 gets here....you don't know how excited I was to see this up!!!

Author's Response: Of course we know Lupin wouldn't hurt a fly, but he's a werewolf and prejudice was always going to tell against him, as you'll see. As for your other points, all I'll say is chapter 2 has perhaps even more startling revelations than chapter 1!
