    If they're not on the Map, they are not at Hogwarts, right?

    The interconnected rooms seem like a maze, probably mental.

    If the voice is in Harry's head, is he producing it?

    Author's Response:

    I can answer only one thing: the Map only shows the rooms the maurdaurs put on it (which is why it didn't show the room of requirement).

    If I answer the other question I'll give the story away, but I must say you've gotten closer then anyone else who's reviewed.

    Thanks for the review!

    That was an excellent chapter! It's killing me to wait though to see what will happen next. Could it be some kind of Boggart related creature? It seems like it was trapping them in bad memories or something so that made me start wondering. Anyways, pretty pretty please (with cherries on top!) update again soon!

    Author's Response:

    I'll update as soon as possible.

    No, the creature is not related to a boggart. I really can't tell you anything else because I don't want to give anything away. You shall find out soon enough.

    Thanks for the review!

    My thought are that I hope you post a new chapter quick or I might scream. Lol
    Cliff hangers rock!

    Author's Response:

    lol.

    I'm working on the next chapter, but it will probably be a week or two at least before its posted.

    And I'm glad someone appreciates cliffies.

    Thanks for the review!

    Wow. Great update. I was very excited to wake up and see it!

    I love this chapter. Your story is becoming even more creative as you go on. I like the way you have McGonagall and Tobias seeing their memories...And the facts they used to prove they were real made me laugh. (Which is amazing, considering their situation.)
    Poor Severus! Losing your father and brother at the same time...I can't wait to see what his revelation was...And what that creature was! Looking forward to your next update.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!

    You'll see more memories in the next chapter.

    I felt bad for Severus too. Even though I'm the one torturing him.

    You'll soon find out what the creature is.

    Thanks for the review!

    Sorry I didn't review earlier...busy with writing and my wretched job. lol. Anyway, have I ever mentioned that you've got the suspense thing down perfectly? I love how you write in short, powerful sentences. I also like how you switch rapidly between scenes. It keeps the action alive in your story. Some wonderful description in this chapter:

    "He smelt vivid long forgotten aromas. He felt the cold, slick floor. His mouth tasted dry."

    **Simple, yet brilliant. I just love it.

    I can't wait until the next chapter! You've really kept yourself busy with all of these re-writes and re-posts and, of course, your own story :) Keep up the great work!

    Author's Response:

    No worries, as long as you review I could care less when.

    Suspense, for me is easier to write I think. With suspense I can just start typing and everything falls into place. With more emotional scenes I'm always worried about over doing it. Speaking of suspense...you plan on updating...when? :P

    My short powerful sentences I blame on George Orwell. In an essay he wrote (Five Rules for Effective Writing) he list some very common sense things, but at the very end the last rule is to abandon all the rule in order not to write something "completely barbarous." When I was in high school, I was always taught just the opposite. The rules of writing had to be followed to the letter. Big words and long sentences convey more then easy words and short sentences. George Orwell's esay changed my mind.

    Also, I confess, I'm one of those really annoying people who has to be doing something. Plus I live on four hours of sleep a night.

    Thanks for the fantastic review!

    Ok, deep breathe. If it terrified Tobias, I don't ever want to face it Even as I realized he was seeing a memory, that was still terrifying.

    Author's Response:

    lol
