I'll post anonymously to keep my identity secret until authors are revealed, but I'd like to respond to this.

First, I am not a plagiarist. I have more literary integrity than most people I know. I am overly worried about plagiarism and often get tiffy with people in comments that do not cite their sources. In fact, once in college, I forgot to include a cite and turned myself in for plagiarism which, in turn, put my whole academic career in jeopardy. Fortunately, because of my honesty over the whole situation, the fact that I was hysterical over the fact that I forgot to include one cite, and because I wasn't caught but came clean before anyone even noticed, I didn't get in trouble.

Second, if it is the same wording, it is purely by accident, I assure you. There was no copying done in my story. I will look into it, and, if the wording is indeed the same, I will add something in the author's note about it.

Third, I appreciate you pointing this out to me. With my stance on the horridness that is plagiarism, it wouldn't do to have any inadvertent wording correlations in my fics.

I just looked around and there is indeed a fairly good correlation from Dining With Draco by fresh_pickled_toad. It isn't a direct copy, but it is a correlation. I will add something to my author's notes when I post the story officially.

Ah, okay. I was a bit tentative pointing it out because it could easily have been put in there by accident, so thanks for your calm response. :)
