Years after the fall of Voldemort, a mysterious illness throws the wizarding world into chaos. While struggling to find a cure, Hermione learns new things about old acquaintances, and Severus learns that self-preservation may not be the path he wants to travel. Harry learns the price of neglect, and Ron learns why “May you live in interesting times” is a curse and not a blessing. Draco learns… very little at all.

Hello, dear readers and fellow writers!
I read and write in the Inuyasha and Harry Potter fandoms, preferring non-canon pairing that involve bad boys of the fandoms: Sesshomaru, Snape, Draco, Lucius (mmm, Slytherins), and Hermione is the Potterverse bicycle.
Completed fics in the Potterverse:
* The Devil is in the Details (HG/SS - M for language and violence - and I'm happy to mention that it was a Featured Story at TPP for 2/08 and nominated for the SS/HG awards Round Two)
* For All Intents and Purposes (HG/SS - M for language and violence)
Completed fics for Inuyasha:
* Darkness (Kag/Sessh - NC17 for smut - won multiple awards at IY groups)
* To Shed a Little Light (Kag/Sessh - NC17 for smut- won multiple awards at IY groups)
* Quadrangle (Kag/Sessh - NC17 for smut)
* Moving Pictures (Sessh/OC - NC17 for smut)
* Don't Know What You've Got 'til it's Gone (Kag/IY - NC17 for smut - and this was my first fic ever, so be warned)
WIP:
* Cereal Box Romance (Kag/Sessh - Inuyasha - updated irregularly- won multiple awards at IY groups)
* Primal (Kag/Sessh - Inuyasha - pretty much abandoned)
Upcoming projects? Yes. I've got a one-shot HG/SS cooking that I may never finish or post, and I've started a multi-chapter HG/SS as well. I will probably write a number of the chapters before I start posting, so you probably won't see anything new for a while.
Reviews for Becoming Silhouettes
I like how the synopsis of all the chapters unfolding. But I'm not reading it whilst it's a WIP. Hope this gets to you and that you have the current focus to finish it. I have ADD, so it's not that I'm perfect. I only have the skills and ability to review because it only takes a few minutes and my attention span is probably 5mins.
Dear God, what a place to leave an intensely reading person. WHY won't you please, please, write more about these enthralling, colourful, grown-up people... Please !!! I´ve searched your other sites with no luck, hoping to find it sporting 33 or 34 vivid chapters, and the relaxing word, Completed, as a flourish. Ah!
Won't you take pity on us all. At least on Severus, trapped in the jealous desire he has held back for so long, and it is a long time to let Harry annd Ginny be separated, Dear, sweet heaven , a curtsey to you for plotting a really memorable tale. Won't you please delight us all ? #she waited, with stoppered breath#
Will you be coming back to this story? I haven't read it in a couple of years but I remember loving it. I'd love to see more of it.
This is an absolutely amazing story, though I find it disconcerting that Hermione is making her money from cosmetic surgery. LOL...
The characterisations, plot and action are all top-notch, and I earnestly hope that you will return to this story one day (hopefully soon).
(Or how about posting those chapters you already have, even if incomplete? This story is too good to be abandoned....)
Thank you so very much fo sharing this story, nonetheless!
Oh no the magical world is going to hell evil in a hand basket. Who planted those dark mushies? What happened to Luna? Did Hermione get to try out her Hazmat suit? HEeee!
Hermione and her cotton ball test subjects completely crack me up! Also thrilled to see Luna. More Luna!
Severus Snape was used to obeying orders Well aint that the truth! I love how Draco has figured out all his Godfather. Its rather cute how he handles him. Although I am sure SS would object to being "handled" by anyone. Also I am hoping Ms. Granger makes Draco grovel. A lot.
ZOMG! I love that your Hermione does esentially cosmetic surgery! LOL! How terribly creative of you. I am impressed.
Draco's exploits are hilarious too. Poor Severus is always aflicted with something isnt he?
I am absolutely riveted in this story! It's so good! I cant wait to see what happens, & I really do hope that this story hasn't been abandoned cos it's amazing! You're a fabulous writer & I can't wait to see how this pans out. Will Malfoy bed Hermione while Severus watches, hiding his anger & envy or will Severus give in to his feelings and persure her, is Ginny being possessed by Voldi again... The possibilities are endless & I would be extremely disappointed if this was discontinued.
Much love & chapter wishes

Just a random question, by small stature do you mean he's short in this story or that hes just skinny?
:)
yikes! what a mess! wonderful update. thanks
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Thanks and you're welcome! Yes, a mess sums it up nicely.
Wow, what a mess! And now Hermione is probably infected. At least she has the antidote. Hopefully Draco or the boy wonder and his ginger-haired counterpart don't drop it or something. Draco is so hilarious in this. His Slytherin cunning working overtime to get the goat of Harry, Ron, and even Severus. Despite him being a total jerk, I love it!
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Ha! Or mistake it for beer and drink it. Yeah, things aren't going so well for our heros.I think Draco is one of my favorite characters in this fic. He's a shameless git and doesn't care what people think about it. He's true to himself. :)
Well Draco is certainly going to enjoy himself at Grimmauld Place. Man, Harry, Ron and Draco having to try and get along for how long? I hope there's enough beer!And the vandalism at Hermione's lab. Two guesses who.I'm still waiting to find out about GInny.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
I'm not sure that there is enough beer to make those three get along. Two guesses? I wonder what they are... ;)I know. You'll find out soon. :D
Still reading. Still lovin it. Wicked turn getting Hermione exposed.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Good to hear it! Yes, poor thing. ;)
Well, out of the cauldron and into the fire they go. Come on Severus, quit being a not so disinterested party. Get in there and give Draco a run for his money. There, I said it. LOL Wonderful chapter, glad to see an update.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Yes, exactly right. Severus does need a kick in the pants, but it would have to be pretty hard. He's stubborn. :)
There is always something new and daring in each update, and this one has a bumper crop of new things. Severus is feeling more drawn to Hermione, and Draco is still determined to pursue her for himself. Sooner or later there will be a confrontation of some sort, but not just yet... there are bigger fish to fry.The reception they received at Grimmauld Place was about what I would have expected. Harry is trying to be a good host to his "guests" (even Draco), but Ron is his usual hot-headed self. I'm glad that Luna is there to keep him in line. I could not believe the level of destruction Hermione and Severus found at her clinic. I did not see that coming. Good for you!I know that Hermione must be infected with the fungus. With all those spores everywhere in the building, she could not avoid it, so why is she being so stubborn about taking the inoculation? Is she afraid that someone else close to her might come down with it? Could this exposure to the spores cause Severus to relapse? The one thing I think Hermione may have in her favor is that she was not drawn to the Dark Arts.How will they be able to disinfect the clinic and all the equipment? They can't take the lab ware into Grimmauld Place until it is decontaminated. It is smart to set up a makeshift lab in the kitchen at Grimmauld Place because it is secret kept, but how will they isolate it from the rest of the house? Is there another location that will suit? Won't the inhabitants need the kitchen to prepare meals? So many questions! Great chapter!Beth
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Well, Hermione has always been pretty tough and does what she thinks needs to be done. The clinic is also her baby, and I think she would put something so important to her above her own needs if she thought she could get away with it. The rash does take a few hours to manifest - she thinks she has time.It seems more and more often Luna is the voice of sanity in this fic - scary thought! Granted, she throws in Fizzing Whizbees for flavor.Yes, things will get sticky with our heros all under one roof with conflicting agendas and personalities! Let's hope they'll survive each other, let alone the epidemic!
First on your chapter title:It's similar enough to the "real slim shady" song to cause my neurons to overcharge.Do you have ANY IDEA what it means to have an image stuck in your head, of pajama-clad Tom Riddle in a mental ward, surrounded by a whole bunch of fake Vlodemorts? Or running around in full Dark Lord regalia, PLUS fake butt, farting in people's faces?Not to mention an earworm that is now nibbling on my eardrums.You evil, evil Author, you!-----------------------------The chapter itself:PRIMO - Wonderful to have an update. Keep up the good work! In case of RL being pain in the rear, just shout out, and you can expect a large group of impatient readers arrive to give said RL a firm talking to. With quidditch bats.SECUNDO - whoever is the brain behind the thralls (and all the clues point to GinnyMort) is now aware of the cure and is methodically targeting all people and places connected to it's development. NOT good. And Hermione, being too arrogant - or perhaps to focused on her precious project (mad scientist, GirlGenius style) - to take her exposure seriously, can now become the biggest threat to it, herself. She's in perfect position to sabotage the brewing. Not to mention, she has all the notes, and can easily destroy or falsify them. Not good AT ALL.TERTIO - I wish Severus had been a bigger "presence" in this chapter. He's been there, all right, but we only got a glimpse of what's going on in his head at the very end. Come on, show us some more inner turmoil and jealous rage! Let's not kid ourselves, we're in it for The Angst! Right? Right!------------------------------------Summa summarum: great chappie, now go write some more!In the meantime, I'll board the windows, lock the door, buy a face-mask and try to stay upwind of any spores*.Thank you.Maria*this blurb was brought to you courtesy of swine flu scare

Dude. I'm not that familiar with Slim Shady beyond what is played in my kickboxing class, but the mental imagery is disturbing nonetheless. If it makes you any better, I was NOT thinking about that song. :PRL is always a pain, but so was the chapter that I was working on that held this one up. I write a few chapters ahead, and don't post until the current is finished. You can blame Severus - he was being difficult. There is much more Severus to come in future chapters. :) I know because I've already written a couple of them. :D
Of course she is infected. She needs that dose. Sigh. Harry realized there was a tug of war over Hermione immediately.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
She does - but she doesn't always put herself at the top of her priorities. Harry knows something is up, though whether he knows exactly what is uncertain. ;)
What an interesting twist! I wonder if Hermione is infected, I think she may be. She has been known to break rules for the greater good like setting Severus's robes on fire.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
:) Yes, she has. She does what she thinks needs to be done. If she is infected, then we'll see how she reacts...
Yea! Another update!! I really enjoy your story! Cant wait for more!!
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Thanks! I wish I could update faster, but I'm working on two fics simultaneously, so before I can post the next chapter, I have to finish two others. Bleh. They are long, so they take a while to write and polish, too. :P
Great story. Looking forward to seeing how they fare back at Grimmauld.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Thanks!
I do love this story. You do a great job with the characters, they are exactly as they should be.I look forward to another update. You keep me wanting more everytime.
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
So glad you like it. :) I'm not crazy about writing Ron and Harry, so it's good to hear that they come across well.
Wow - loving your story! Please take a well deserved moment to bask in the glow of accomplishment - and then jump back in please - can't wait to see where it goes next - Ginny the evil overlord? Draco -Luna - Ron - love/hate triangle? Harry the love child of Lily and Voldy - now unwittingly acting out his father's final revenge? Luna saving the day? See - it's all so gloriously unpredictable with your writing!!
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Thanks so much! Wow, you've got some great guesses, but I won't spoil anything! Hopefully, the plot stays unpredictable and satisfying. :)
poor seviekins...let me soothe his troubled brow. he can bunk with me whilst we find him another place. lovely and exciting update. thanks so much
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Oh, kind offer, but he's already got a place to stay. ;)
Wow! Thank you for this update. And what a fantastic chapter it is!So much has happened that my thoughts are spinning: • It looks as if Voldemort or one of his lieutenants may have succeeded in transferring his essence to the spores.• If that is the case, then I suspect that Severus, Draco, and Hermione will be making a trip to Malfoy Manor to speak with Lucius.• I hate that Severus has lost his home and so many of the things that have such a sentimental meaning for him. Yes, he is a sentimental man, but he won't let anyone know.• I hope his photograph albums were among those items that were protected with fire-retardant spells.• His library went up in flames. *sigh*• Severus didn't recognize the shirt folded with his pants on the top of the toilet... but it has to be his shirt that Hermione transfigured to fit herself when she was healing Severus at Spinner's End.• Surely Hermione will not give into Draco's seduction.• Surely Severus will decide to make his case to Hermione and admit his feelings for her.• What will have to happen to jolt Severus into realizing that he must tell her he loves her?• Has Ginny been turned into a thrall? Or worse, directly possessed?• I guess they will be working out of Hermione's lab now.• Now it is imperative that they will have to develop a way to deliver the cure in a nebulized form. It will be the only way to cure the many thralls... and the one who has been directly possessed. • There are sure to be a few fireworks when they move into Grimmauld Place for the duration.Whew! I'm worn out, Rhiannonofthemoon. This story is fabulous, and I was beyond delighted to see you had updated!Beth
Response from rhiannonofthemoon (Author of Becoming Silhouettes)
Wow! Some very good guesses, but I won't give you any spoilers. I hope to keep a surprise or two hidden up my sleeve. ;)So glad you like it! I know it's slow going. I'm just not very good at having multiple WIPs, and the last chapter I was working on was giving me fits. I've submitted it to my beta, however, so I'll get the next chapter in posting condition. Hope to have it up soon.
