This week, Andrea and Leah dive headfirst into the emotionally brutal, morally messy, and narratively complex first act of Manacled (Chapters 6–25). And oh boy… things get dark... er.

🧠 Bookmarked – We catch up with Hermione newly owned and emotionally destroyed. We talk about grief, anger, memory gaps, and whether Dracos good or bad.

📌 The Margins – Questioning the logic of “mind poking" and outlining the biggest happenings in 19-25. 

✍️ Writer’s Desk – SenLinYu’s command of dread and delayed gratification is on full display. We talk pacing, structure, and her absolute refusal to give us emotional relief.

📚 Canon, Who Dat? – Leah explains all the things Andrea doesn't know because she's never read Harry Potter.

💀 Dark Marks & Darker Thoughts – Listen, we shouldn't say these things out loud, but you've earned it. 

🔮 Wild Speculation – Is Draco working for the resistance or just in love with Hermione? 

🎙️ Whether you’re hate-reading, love-suffering, or just here for Draco’s moral ambiguity, this episode will help you process your thoughts. You’re not alone. And either Andrea OR Lead probably agree with you.
