The Cause by Pussycat123
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Marty Price works for The Cause, which involves several campaigns and petitions on a weekly basis. It has become common knowledge within Hogwarts that if you see her coming towards you with a clipboard, you should turn and walk the other way. Or perhaps deny all grasp of the English language. And if this isn’t eccentric enough, there’s also her obsessive written observations of four boys in her year, which will one day make a rather interesting book ...
Remus Lupin, meanwhile, has always been a little different, too. Poor, sweet Remus Lupin is, to the casual observer, the picture of a sensible, hard working student. However, he has three friends who have done more for him than anyone knows and they have done this because of his troubled past, troubled present and troubled future. Why the gloominess? Because Remus Lupin just so happens to be a werewolf.
So what could these two possibly have in common? And how can their stories possibly connect?
Runner-up for the 2008 Best Marauder Era QSQ.
Date: 04/19/08 Title: Chapter 11: The Trust Test
Damned cliffies! You had better update soon. Great chapter by the way. The Marauder Bonanza Extravaganza! - James really is a dandelion. :) Please update soon!!!!!!
Author's Response: Isn\'t he? *Loves James* I\'ll try and update as soon as I can, I promise!
Date: 06/08/08 Title: Chapter 14: Very Bohemian
“Secrets, Lies and Deceit: The True Story of Four Hypocritical and Scum-filled Tyrants, and How Their Black Hearts of Evil Lead Eventually to Their Celebrated and Timely Demise”
But Lily, how do you really really feel about the Marauders? :)
I can see why you enjoyed writing this chapter. I love musicals, and I would be cringing at how badly the Marauders could botch one, if I weren't too busy rolling on the floor laughing. James has totally lost it, btw.
I'm kind of also falling in love with Luanne. I think my favorite line of hers this chapter was, “I’d say she’s come to her senses. I only talk to you because I don’t want to be sent to my room.” Teeheehee, the Marauders need a little sass.
Anyway, great chapter! Update soon, I really love this story!
Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m glad! I totally love musicals. If life was one long musical (wait, it ISN\'T?) then I would be happy all of the time. It would never lose its novelty. I also love James. He\'s completely adorable. And, yes, also a little weird ... *jumps on James*
Seventh Sense by roisin_dubh
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A blind Muggle girl shows up at Hogwarts after a run-in with Death Eaters, looking for a solution to her mess and a place to recuperate.
I do not own any of Dante's work, nor do I want to. The former also holds true for Jeff Smith; sadly, the latter does not. I wish I owned his ideas. As it is, I just messed around with them. Please approach this fic with a very open mind; while nothing is particularly controversial, some of the concepts are very, very abstract and possibly arbitrary.

You cannot leave me here! It's too confusing here!

Date: 02/06/08 Title: Chapter 7: Nothing Like Muggle Fairy Tales
Hiya Kevin!
Good chapter. It seems like Teddy has a bit of a rose-tinted view of what it is to be a werewolf. I'm worried he's in for a bit of a rude awakening. Oh dear, Kevin, what will we do? Why would Evie set him up for something like that? Why, Kevin, why!?
Oh, well I suppose it does make for a more interesting plot. Anyway, Kevin, tell Evie she did a great job with this chapter and that I am eagerly awaiting the next.
Author's Response: Kevin: I will tell her that, and she will be very grateful. I have no idea why she sets poor old Ted up for horrible things like that, and considoring her evil cackles as she writes future chapters, I can only guess things are going to get a lot worse.
<3 Kevin the review box
Date: 10/24/07 Title: Chapter 3: The Hogwarts Express
What? This little white box is for reviews? OH MY GOD! That's amazing, really, thanks for telling me, I never would have guessed! I think it was the word "Review" at the top that was throwing me off; I thought this box was for bagels. Silly me! My apologies to Kevin for trying to spread cream cheese on him.
Sorry, I have sarcasusm issuses (blushes).
Anyhoo, I love your story. Teddy's dad is my favorite character (I'm still in mourning, BTW), so it's really interesting to hear your take on his son's life. The whole present-tense thing threw me off for a little while, but I got used to it. Props for the unique writing style! I can't wait to read more.
So, what is Harry's preferred brand of toothpaste?
Author's Response: Don\'t worry - I am probably the most sarcastic person you could ever meet. I have lost many friends because of it. >.<
I\'m glad you like the present tense thing - it just makes my story stand out a little, ya know?
Colgate, of course! :p

A Werewolf's Plight by whomovedmyquil
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Missing moment from DH: When Harry rejects Remus's offer to help him, Ron and Hermione hunt down Horcruxes, Remus leaves in a rage. He intends to leave Tonks and the child, convinced he'll be sparing her the shame as well of the danger of living with a werewolf. But after another argument with Tonks and a discussion with Ted and Andromeda, he may be changing his tune.
Date: 10/18/07 Title: Chapter 1: A Werewolf's Plight
I loved it!
Although... I'm totally in love with Remus and Tonks, so I might be biased. But it was a cute story.
Reactions by Aricia
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Tonks has just found out that she's pregnant, but how will Remus react?
Date: 10/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Reactions
Wow, poor Tonks! This story was so sad. But I have hope; I've just got this idea that Harry will slap some sense into Remus and he'll be back. Great story!
Author's Response: Thanks! Let\'s just hope that your idea comes true!
The Return by Kiley
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Tonks' fears for Lupin's safety seem justified when he appears at her door, bleeding and bearing a remarkable story.
Date: 10/18/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Fantastic! You captured the characters so well! I really loved it.
The Worst Part by Lark_Song
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It’s the night of graduation. The last night that Severus Snape will live under the same roof as Lily Evans. After tonight their worlds will change – spiraling off into adaulthood - but first Severus has something he has to say – something he has to let go.
“The worst part of being me… is not having you.”
Date: 10/22/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Poor Severus. It almost makes you wish she'd chosen him.
Author's Response: Almost... Makes you at least wish his life had turned out better. As it is, his life pretty much sucks. Poor, poor man... On a happier note, much thanks for the review! :)
The Remus Lupin Diaries, aged 15 and a bit... by The Dog Star
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It's Remus Lupin's fifth year at Hogwarts, and too much is happening at once! James loves Lily, Sirius is all for having a laugh, Peter's beginning to resent his friends, Lily need a real friend, and Remus, he's a werewolf, what other problems does he need? More than expected, that's for sure...
Extract from Chapter 4: Detentions and Deceptions
As I am writing this, I have noticed that there is a large box of Honeydukes chocolate underneath James’ bed. Why has he not shared them? We always share our stuff.
Or maybe, he has told Sirius and Peter, but is keeping them a secret from me. Why would he do that?
Oh yeah, he knew I would eat them at the first opportunity. I think I may have one, just out of spite.
Whoops, James just discovered me eating his chocolates, and, to be frank, there were not a lot left when he found me, though I am sure I only had one or two… He says I have to pay for a new box, the original having been a birthday present for Sirius. I do not think that I can afford a new box, not if I get Sirius a present too. Oh, no.
Date: 10/25/07 Title: Chapter 1: Back to Hogwarts
You've got a great start. It's definitly got potential. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanking you very muchly!
A Little More Time by Pallas
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: Was it possible to save two lives in the past without altering history? Was it possible to give his parents a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so...
Date: 04/26/08 Title: Chapter 23: Out of Time
My first reaction was something like this: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! But now I've thought about it, it would have been rather boring if the Ministry had just said "you can live" and they did so happily ever after; and boring isn't really your style, is it? :) So I'll just try to be patient well I wait to see how you get them out of this mess. Because you will get them out of this mess, right? Won't you? Please? You're not going to let them die, correct? That would just be silly, right? Right? AHHH, I CAN'T HANDLE PATIENCE!!!!! But they just can't die, right? Please? *crosses fingers and sends a little prayer up to Merlin*
Date: 02/26/08 Title: Chapter 19: The Bigger Picture
*prays softly for that "Hermione-induced miracle"*
Date: 01/14/08 Title: Chapter 14: Trust
I've decided that your cliff hangers are nasty little buggers. They didn't bother me so much when I was reading "Oblivious" and "Imperius" (I loved them both, btw, they are my favorite fics on this site), but that was because they were both complete and when you left me hanging in one chapter, I could just go to the next. However, now that I am reading this fic as you are writing it, your cliffhangers are nasty little demons that leave my rather frustrated. Argh.
Anyway, I love this story! Except, I didn't know that Tonks was so violent (wacking sticks anyone?), but it's super cute. I love the way you portray Tonks's and Remus's relationship. They are still relatively newlyweds and their flirting is extremely adorable and hilarious. Tonks and Remus forever! I'm really looking forward to the reunion between Remus and Tonks and the other characters. I expect there will be a little comical shock. Although, I can't help but remember that last time I read a big reunion scene in one of your fics, I was hit with Remus's second evil cousin who told him of his approaching arrest (not exactly giggles, you know what I mean?)
Poor Remus. Thirty-five? That's harsh.
Please update soon so I can stop hating this particular cliffhanger and start hating next chapter's.
Date: 04/11/08 Title: Chapter 22: Decisions
PLEASE DON'T KILL THEM!!!! You said at the beginning that this was your way to cope with their deaths, so PLEASE don't kill them again! Pretty please! Good chapter, btw.
Date: 03/23/08 Title: Chapter 20: A Necessary Sacrifice
Well, I'll say this: you definitely have Remus's character and his "martyr complex" nailed down. I imagine that Tonks and her whacking sticks will not be pleased. And as for Sproule, there are many words I could use to describe how I feel about him; words that I think the mods would prefer I kept out of reviews. Fantastic chapter. UPDATE SOON!!!!! Please.
Date: 03/28/08 Title: Chapter 21: Preservation
Stroking fluffy bunnies and skipping in meadows, eh? Maybe she shouldn't have married him after all...
THAT WAS A JOKE!
*sits and anxiously awaits the next chapter: is it up yet? no. is it up yet? no. is it up yet? no. is up yet? no, etc.*
Date: 05/07/08 Title: Chapter 24: Facing Fate
*releases the breath that she has been holding since the end of the last chapter* Great chapter! You nearly had me in tears!
Just Because of a Stupid Baby by Valentinia
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Scorpius was finding it hard to concentrate on potions, and when he heard someone crying he just had to know what the matter was. What he discovered was more than he bargained for, and less than he imagined.
Originally for the September Challenge.
Date: 10/28/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I loved this story! Just one question: When Ted and Victoire get married, will Scorpius babysit the cub? :D
Author's Response: lol! Thanks for the review! I\'m glad you enjoyed this!
Dark Side of the Moon by Lioness06
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
In fifth year, Sirius along with James and Peter managed the difficult Animagus transformation. In fifth year, Sirius played the ‘werewolf prank’ on Snape. One was an act of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship; the other an act of betrayal, vengeance, and recklessness. This story spanning the Marauders' fifth year will deal with both these incidents, as well as Sirius’s increasing rejection of everything having to do with ‘The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black”.
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 4: A Proposal
Liked the chapter? Yes, I did.
Funny line? James Potter's cute butt definitely counts as funny.
Disliked a character? Pretty much the Slytherins in general, but Travers was particularly annoying.
Over all: great job! Please update again soon!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review and answering all those questions - I laughed out loud when I read that :)
