Dumbledore must’ve seen it so clearly. Cause begets event begets event begets event and at the end of the chain was a conclusion of his own making. Fate's finger trembled and that was all it took to lose them the world. Friendless and a wanted witch in Voldemort’s Britain, Hermione Granger hides a secret she cannot remember.

This is a very interesting story.  But it has been 5 months since an update....  What happened to your pinky swear to update soon?

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

HelloGlad it caught your interest. You're quite right to call me out on the lack of updates. The story is far from abandoned, but a combination of real life and work on another story has rather left this one on the side D: hopinh to tidy up the next chapter before christmas. Sorry if you were waiting for an update! -zhangers

Wow!  Great story.  I'm looking forward to finding out where this leads.  I'm always interested in stories like this where Voldemort wins and how it would get resolved.  Thanks for sharing!

Methinks Nott has not much time to live. *grin* Better make up his will. ^_^

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

We shall see... although, making up a will should be standard practise under Voldemort's rule, to be honest. ;-D-Zhangers

That was extremely creepy at the end.  Thanks for the update! 

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

It sort of was, wasn't it? It's Voldemort - he always brings the creep. Especially when he's trying to be... *shudder* nice. Thanks four the feedback - it means a lot to me. -Zhangers

Oh, crap. So Voldie turned Hermione into a Lily lookalike, didn't he? Ugh. I won't feel badly to see Nott go. He's much too arrogant, but I have a feeling that's the way Voldie like's 'em. And what is taking Draco so long to get back?

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Ugh is about the word for it. I think he might be into 'tough love'. Not a good idea to distinguish yourself as a DE, really. Someone should tell Nott. I should probably tell Nott. Will I tell Nott? Nah. Thanks for your comments. Finding out your reactions to things usually helps me make changes to the following chapters. -Zhangers

Such a tangled web you are weaving... Somehow I knew that when Snape caught Hermione in the beginning, the timely arrival of the others was not in his plans. She talked too much and screwed things up. Too bad. I just hope he can convince her that he is on her side. After all she has been through, it won't be easy.Good stuff!

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Thank god that came across ok. I was worried that it would be perplexing to people and not in a good way...That is the trouble with tangled webs, I suppose. XDGlad you enjoyed it!-Zhangers

Bloody hell. This is edge of the seat stuff. Well done. Brilliant storyweaving and full of suspense and intrigue. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

I'm glad you enjoyed it (I live to serve ;-D), but you are far too kind. Just trying  things out so it still feels a bit hit-and-miss to me. But next chapter is a fun one, so please tune in. -Zhangers

Okay, whose side is this guy on, exactly? He's way too smarmy for my taste. The flat feels too much like a trap. What happened to Hermione? She splinched herself in the last chapter. Is she still alive? Does Moldiebutt have her? Maybe Snape took her somewhere and hid her away? Hope. Hope. ^_^

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

There has not been a lot of trust for Olivier. Is it the frenchness? Zere is, er, how you say, something a little in'erently suspicious and smarmy about ze accent, non?Where is Hermione indeed. She's...*drumroll*...in the next chapter!-Zhangers

jenidralph

Aaaargh!!!  I need to know what's happened to Hermione!!At least we know that there's some resistance.  I hope they can all team up to get some shit done.So, Snape only mildly tortured professors (I'm guessing McGonagall is considered a bit more dangerous to the Dark Lord) and forced them into breakable vows?  It sounds like he is still working for the light (although, we figured as much).This tale is so interesting!!

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

She is very popular these days, our Hermione. Viva La Resistance! With strong evidence on the viva and continuing to viva. Next chapter will tell...not quite 'all', but 'some', at least. So glad you found it even the tiniest bit interesting - it's what I live for ;-D. -Zhangers

Thanks for updating! I wonder what will happen next...

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Au contraire, thank you for reading! The next chapter will be a surprise, I hope... and I promise it is coming sooner than soon. Well. Soon. -Zhangers

She's definitely a fighter... and apparently, he's a healer. ;)   I was excited to see this chapter up!!

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Alas, she will have to adjust her mode of fighting in future, I think (hint hint). I  have always loved the image of Snape as a healer. There was something so lovely about him re-sanguinating Draco and attending Dumbledore's hand. Not sure about his bedside manner, though. Glad you were excited - it means so much to me that people actually enjoy the stuff I write! -Zhangers

Damn! It didn't work. :-( I think dying would be much better than trying to survive under a Dark Lord's regime.

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

A good point, well raised. And she hasn't really seen it yet. She's been lucky, our Hermione , living in charming Muggle london all this time ; ). But she will learn. -Zhangers

MsTree

Quite the chapter, but a suicide attempt? From a Gryffindor? What was she thinking? ^_^

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

One does wonder what or even if. But then, our Granger isn't exactly well...Are some things worth dying to protect?-Zhangers

gurlimargrethe

that was a surprise,bad Severus? your little hint in answering Severus 49 brings my hope up that he is not. Glad to know the next chapter is on its way

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Is there such a thing as a third option? Let's go for 'complicated'.

10/10

MsTree

You know, when I first read the title of this story, my first thought was of the long concealing cloaks and masks that were worn to masquerades in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries. I guess it could have a double meaning, though. This is a good chapter. Where's the rest of it? ^_^

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Actually, that occurred to me too. Great minds, etc ;DI'd be quite happy to claim the clever double meaning instead of an awkward coincidence. The next chapter is in the queue already, and the rest of it sitting on laptop. So glad you enjoyed it, -Zhangers

Isode

This is great! So exciting, more please.

I'm enjoying this very much and getting quite impatient for more. It's very well written, mature and original. Sorry....swallowed a Hermione Granger All-Purpose Bossy Boots pill. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Hello Ali! So glad you enjoyed it - there is more on its way very soon (next chapter is in the queue and a load more sitting on the laptop). Never apologise for taking the Granger pill, she added bossily. -Zhangers

jenidralph

Oh... you can't stop THERE!  I can't wait for more!

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

I suppose that was a tiny bit cruel... But the next chapter is already in the queue so keep the eyes peeled *wink wink nudge nudge*- Zhangers

jenidralph

Wow.. what an intro!  Very cool start. 

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Hello! Glad you think so - the intro and I didn't exactly get on for months and months (so don't entirely), so it means a lot to me that you found it effective.All the best, -Zhangers

Severus49

I read the first parts, and though mistakenly that this was going to be another rehash, but no, it's very different! I'm intrigued now!

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Glad that I managed to intrigue you! Yes - I was also worried about the first chapter being too much a rewrite of the book. It's sort of necessary as it's the boring, block-by-block setup. Easily the weakest chapter of the thing in my opinion. Better chapters to come, winkwink nudge nudge.

10/10

MsTree

Interesting start. I'm not a big fan of Dark!AU stories, but this has been good so far. I'll need to see more, however. ^_^

Response from zhangers (Author of Chasing the Domino)

Hello! And you will see more. This chapter is a boring old setup, the next chapter is where it starts. Watch out for it!
