Draco certainly didn’t put the page in her hand. That’s ridiculous.
Otherwise a decent chapter. Keep updating

Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting that. It's entirely plausible; the part where Madam Pomfrey should have noticed the paper. Malfoy's conscience shows, just a little.

Been reading this fic for years since it came out and I had to perform this fairytale in university and now I’m graduating so! Idk this was beautiful and brilliant, especially the stuff about Draco! Thank you for writing!

Brilliant update. The parallels you draw up between fairy tales and Harry Potter are pure genius. Can't wait for more.

Am thoroughly enjoying your 'fractured fairy tales'! (reference to a segment of the Rocky and Bullwinkle TV Show).
Gives me something to ponder, as well as smiles and giggles!

Not a fairy tale but a bundle of tales - The Krakatoas Saga
Another is the very nice tale of “Lazy Iwan”

It really made me laugh to hear Ron says Shakespeare was the poshest posh. The absolute irony of it, if only he knew that Shakespeare had more in common with him than the likes of Draco Malfoy in terms of wealth and class.

I am still enjoying this though I don't always comment. It's a lot of fun.
Baconlette, I mean Hamlet, what a good idea. Why not keep on doing Shakespeare's plays?
They are so right in comparing Hamlet to a soap opera. I suppose that was what people had before they had soap operas. And I am sure that in the future, people will talk about the artistic merits of Coronation Street. They are already doing that about some old sitcoms.

Um, German reader here: Maybe you should consider a small correction to this chapter because in the current version, Hermione does not know her German, but Ron does :-D
Donder and blitzen are not German for "thunder and lightning" - these would directly translate to "Donner und Blitz" in German, so Ron can now preen all he likes! :-)
(Though the word "Blitzen" does exist in German, it is either a verb ("blitzen" to flash), a Gerund i.e. verb made noun ("das Blitzen" ongoing flashing - okay, this might be used with reference to a thunderstorm, as in "eerie lightning on the horizon heralded a thunderstorm" "unheimliches Blitzen [or: Wetterleuchten] am Horizont kündigte ein Gewitter an", or what I think is dative plural ("Gewitter mit Blitzen" a thunderstorm with flashes of lightning)).
If you google an article called "Donner and Blitzen: The Real Story" on uTalk blog, it has an interesting explanation of how the names came to be:
"Donner and Blitzen, together with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, were all named by American writer Clement Clarke Moore in his 1823 poem, ‘The Night Before Christmas’.
And the poet originally gave Donner and Blitzen their Dutch equivalent monikers of Dunder and Blixem, which were a popular form of mild swearing in 18th and 19th century New York – equivalent to ‘gosh darn’! (...)
Moore later changed the names to the current German[ized] ones – Donner and Blitzen – possibly because they rhymed better with Comet and Vixen."
As reindeer are not part of German Christmas mythology, I was never even aware they had names (other than famous Rudolph!) :-)

Really branching out if we're now into Shakespeare. Be interesting to see Ron's reaction to the Scotish play (Macbeth). Also noticed they forgot the Queen in their list of casualties.
