Reviews for This Present Darkness
This story gets better with every chapter, can't wait for the next one!!
Yay! Someone's come to the rescue. Hope it's Snape and Grayson.
Looking forward to the next chapter. =)
Isaac and Solomon are related, aren't they?
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Ah, well, can't tell you now! ;-)
I love this story -- very interesting and action packed. I think it's Solomon who is the Angel of Death -- he has the connections to Azkhban and the knowledge to do such dark magic. Can't wait for the update.
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
'Very interesting and action packed.' Thanks, sherri! You know, I am finding it harder than I imagined to write action scenes, so I am very glad they are translating well onto the page. Thanks!
I KNEW IT!!!!!! Stupid security guards usually do not remain stupid security guards. Hermione really should have followed her gut instincts though, or at least kept her wand out to go through the whole flat. Wonder how well Snape and Grayson will work together. Looking forward to the next chapter. =)
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Oh, Snape and Grayson! I think they are united with the common cause of Hermione... more about them next chappie. Thanks, Rhiannon!
Oh lord, and of course the guard is going to tell Severus, and she's going to run into a spot of trouble (is the Angel of Darkness Solomon Rochester?) and Severus will assume it's because she abandoned him, and then Henry will go to Snape and he won't help at first because he's a stubborn, wounded bastard.Am I even close on ANY of that?
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Ooohhh, some you are close, which you will find out next chapter (which is up!). The rest will follow shortly. Thanks, dear!
Not sure about this guard. It sounds too easy. Disillusioned, so if he's someone Hermione knows, she couldn't tell. And it doesn't answer the question who the incubus is - is she really nothing more than an unknown guard's wife? It would suit Solomon to send Hermione home (so he knows where she can be found alone). And Henry has admitted to being in Hermione's flat. The plot's certainly thickening. I´m not convinced that we have the answer yet. Though it would explain why Snape recognized him, as an inmate of Azkaban. Don´t keep us waiting too long!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
*evil grin* The rest of the story is more or less finished (though I need, with the help of my lovely beta, to work at it some more), but it will be up soon. Thanks, Hannah!
Well I never would have thought Henry and Snape would be working together to find Hermione. I really thought it was Soloman! Tricky Kizzy. Dont leave the fangirls hanging!!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Hehe. More will be up soon-- I recently finished this, so yay!
I bet Solomon was the mysterious Death Eater though. What's in the locked and warded cabinet? Or is that another red herring?(Although I also like the idea of Des as the M.D.E.; she is so cool it would be a great twist for her to be Evil.)As another reviewer said, I'm greatly enjoying this mystery/fanfic combination.Great work.RR
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Des as the MDE, hmm... Hehe!! So glad you are enjoying, m'dear. Thanks so much!
wow! she did really well but the swine got the drop on her. henry's not so bad after all. exciting update. thanks so much
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Aw, I'm rather fond of Henry! Thank you, kim. More up soon!
Another evil cliff hanger! This chapter was quite enjoyable with all of the action and Hermione's fight with her captor.
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
I am finding that it is rather difficult to write action scenes... but enjoying it nonetheless! Thank you so much!
shit, shit shit!!!!!!!!!!!! oh shit!!!!! damn it!!!!!!! Okay, calm down.....excellent chapter btw. But shit, go Severus go!!!!!!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Yup, he better hurry... Thank you for your excitement,

Oh dear, poor Herminoe... I was starting to think that it was Solomon, but am rather glad to err.
Author's Response: Yup, she needs some help, for sure! Thanks, Alcina, as always. More up soon!
Ooh! I don't know what to think. I was so sure it was Solomon. I'm so confused but as you've probably realised it doesn't take much.Brilliant work and it is very refreshing to have a real "whodunnit" to read in HP fanfic. Just magic! Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Ali, *hugs*, I actually did not know you were on TPP! Thank you so much! All answers are coming soon, which will clarify things (I hope!)
At least Henry and Severus have a temporary truce. :)
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Temporary, yes. Let's see if it lasts, LOL! Thanks, sunny!
I can't imagine Isaac will be in very good shape once he's found. This is so good!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Hehe. Well, I definitely would NOT want an angry Snape after me, that's for sure. Thanks,
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)

Go, Severus, Go!!What a chapter, amazing!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Aw, thanks so much,
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
! More to come soon, the end is nigh.
So this means that Solomon could still get in the way of Severus and Hermione, then? Grrr.... please let something bad happen to him!! lol.. I was wrong too... oh well... hope the next chapter is up soon!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
'Tis coming soon, m'dear. I know, I sure had a lot of red herrings in this here story, LOL! Thanks!
Argh- wild chase ahead!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Oh, crazy action ahead indeed. Thanks!
Yikes, Solomon is using Polyjuice.
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
*grin* Well, you will know for sure next chapter, which will be up soon. Thanks,
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)

Argh, can't you just put everything in this one chapter? I want to know what happens now!!!!! I was so glad she destroyed the syringe. But where is she now? Did he Apparate her to a separate part of the home, where the Aurors aren't? On to Severus. His musings broke my heart, especially when he mused that he tainted everything he touched. And Lily, she really wasn't ever a true friend. Thank you, Henry, for springing him. Go, Severus, go! Hurry!
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
*evil chuckle* But if I put everything into one chapter, where's the suspense?! LOL! As to where she is now, you'll find out soon... I know, poor Sev. Even in canon, you could sense his self-loathing, especially in his memories. At least here, in fanfic, he can find some sense of redemption! Thanks, Deb!
Holy Crap!!!! Red herring! Aaaauuughghgh!!! *deep breaths*I think this is amazing. I hope he gets there in time, and I REALLY hope they let him out in the end. =] You are wonderful, dearest! *hugs*Rhiannon
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
*blushes* Awww, thanks!! More coming soon-- 'cause I'm done!!!!
Holy cliff hanger batgirl! Half way through I had to go back and reread the first paragraph again!! Please update soon, I am all sorts of worried about Hermione. Also I wish she wouldnt have been so honest with Henry to tell him it was Severus she loves. It just makes me nervous.
Response from kizzy7 (Author of This Present Darkness)
Next chapter is currently #7 in the Q!! So more soon, m'dear. Thanks so much; I really appreciate your lovely comments.

Oh dear, poor Severus... I had completely forgotten about his restricitions in touching her and so on.
I'm really curious now about the base, too.
Author's Response: I know! Poor, poor Severus. At least he lived, and I think that the incident brought them closer together ultimately. Ah, you will find all about the potion next chappie. Thanks, Alcina!
