Heya! I'm Patty. I love everything about Harry Potter (a very big fan at that, though never one to show the world just how much - I might someday). I love reading fantasy, adventure, romance and those books that captivates you no matter how much you disapprove of their genre or concept/plot or whatever it is about.
I read fan fiction to pass the time. I've read many that I've never dreamed of getting attached to. I'm usually in HPFF reading those marvelous fan writing, but I'm here also reading if there aren't any good ones left to read there or to FanFiction.net. I've recently found that I don't like reading those stories that aren't canon (those Dramione stories and few stories that are completely AU and disregards the Epilogue massively). I've learned to tolerate a few non-canon pairing stories, but I still become uninterested.
Almost a year ago, I started to write a novel fan fiction, but it soon dawned to me that I can never write and I'm happy to know that. I seriously suck at making plots and developing characters and improving my literacy nemesis, grammar, but I do have creative ideas - just put a small amount of bragging. So, to the point, I read but never ever write except a poem or so.
In this fan fiction world, I am a very big fan of the James/Lily pairing. They're just otp and it was what got me started, reading fanfiction that is. I love the Next Generation Crew, too. They're quite adorable, I must say.
Oh! Wow! Amazing! This is by far the best Marauder story I have ever read. Heck, it probably is the best fanfiction I have ever read! This story made me laugh, made me cry and made me like then hate Peter Pettigrew. You have characterized Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs so well that I have fallen love these Marauders, except for Wormtail of course. I like how you wrote this story. It was deep, meaningful and captivating that I've spent most of my week reading the whole story. I don't think I'll ever find another story like this.
This Epilogue is a brilliant closure to the story with Teddy Lupin stepping into the Hogwarts Express. May he have the friendship like his father had, without the tragedy end of course.

Author's Response: Wow, thanks! I spent a lot of time writing this, so it's awesome to hear that you liked it. Peter was really fun to write, with his change from being a pretty good person to what he became. (I really didn't want him to be useless from the start, he had to have some part of the Marauders, otherwise why would he be friends with them?) The epilogue was something that I worried a lot about what I wrote it so it's nice to hear that you liked it. Yeah, hopefully Teddy's friendships won't have that kind of end, but be just as good. Thanks for reading!
Your story has potential and I like it. It's awesome. Brilliant even. I really do like how you wrote this chapter and I can not wait to have a read of next and the next one and the next one and so forth. =]
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm sorry this has taken a while - RL put me on a long hiatus - but my next chapter's in the queue and I really hope that you do like it. XD x
