== Background ==
 
A few months before the last chapter of "Draco Veritas" was completed, Cassie accused Aja Romano of passing around spoilers for future plot points of Claire's Draco Veritas.Aja: Me & CC; or, BNFs do not have more fun, 16 June 2006. (Accessed 17 March 2015) Fandom Wank Wiki. You Plagiarist! Only Cassie Can Write Intellislash!, via Wayback: 15 December 2012. (Accessed 17 March 2015) These two fans had already had previous disagreements. In October 2003, Aja and Cassie Claire had a public falling out over numerous interpersonal tensions. According to Aja, they had already de-friended one another on LJ when they disagreed about whether Aja's story Twelfth Night was plagiarizing Cassie's story A Season in Hell -- Bookshop's Fanlore edits, 11 April 2016. 
The last chapter of "The Draco Trilogy" was posted August 4, 2006, the same day as Avocado's expose, The Cassandra Claire Plagiarism Debacle. On August 4, 2006, Lori Summers made a post at ParadigmOfUncertainty, the yahoo group where The Draco Trilogy had been serialized for years, and announced the end of the series:
On August 6, 2006, Claire announced that she would be taking all her fanfiction offline in an author's note at the end of Draco Veritas, the last chapter of which had been posted August 4, 2006. 
August 4, 2006 was also the same day Avocado published The Cassandra Claire Plagiarism Debacle.
Cassie wrote in "Draco Veritas'" end notes:

== Outtakes & Alternate Scenes ==
=== In Which Draco Realizes Why He Is So Fond of Green Umbrellas ===
Claire and Rhysenn co-wrote an alternate version of a scene from DV Chapter One, published as In Which Draco Realizes Why He Is So Fond of Green Umbrellas. It may have been a December 2001 Christmas cookie.Published at FictionAlley in January 2002 or earlier (archived 28 January 2002); may have previously appeared on a mailing list (accessed 18 April 2013). Written "in honor of" Tom Felton's fourteenth birthday, which was September 22, 2001, and lists "Christmas" as a keyword in the story header. Its FictionAlley summary, titled "Draco Veritas Alternate Scenes," was as follows:
:"This fic is in honor of Tom Felton turning fourteen. One year closer to being a legal sex symbol. Go Tom! It's a bit of fluff that takes off from the "Is there somebody else?" scene in DV1 at the Sleazy Weasel."Schnoogle. Cassandra Claire and Rhysenn - Chapters. (Archived 30 October 2005 by the Wayback Machine.) FictionAlley screenshot 
The story diverges from the events of Draco Veritas to become Draco/Harry slash.
