*Chapter 30 is 'To Be Loved'*
good chapter ! i really like the idea of Sirius and Rosmerta. That was really funny when Peter said "I'd drool" - i actually laughed out loud
Author's Response: Yay for laughing out loud! Thank you! :D
I really enjoyed that chapter. I just wanted to give Sirius a big hug when he realized he wanted to hear 'i love u' first b/c he never had! glad to hear there will be some one shots after the story is done! update soon! oh and I like how it was Peter who went to see how Sirius was.
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked that it was Peter. If he had been an Iago, all bad, no WAY would he and Sirius been so close and Sirius had to have loved him like a brother to hate him so fiercely after the betrayal! I say we all hug Sirius! ^_^
I really enjoyed that chapter! Awww...the first years girls are in love with Sirius, very cute and so sweet of him to allow them to brush his hair, haha. I also loved all the dialogue betwen the Marauders - you really catch how at ease they are with each other by their conversation
Author's Response: He\'s gorgeous, he\'s charming...he\'ll let you brush his hair...if I was a firstie, I would so be doodling \'Mrs. Sirius Black\' all over parchment, LOL. I\'m glad you like their cameraderie. It\'s like how I see the twins and Lee Jordan bantering back and forth. (Lucky Fred and George not to have a Wormtail!)
WHAT?! Oh no! You can't end the chapter like that!
Well I really liked this chapter and the fact that James, Sirius, and Peter confronted Remus about working too hard, and over exerting himself. It showed how much their friendship is growing.
Author's Response: Those darn cliffhangers. It does show how strong their friendship is, doesn\'t it?
Lovely chapter! I do hope Remus doesn't get too caught up in revenging Blake's death. And I really want to know what Wilkins is...please update soon, I do love this story
Author's Response: Ooh... well you\'ll find out what Wilkins is in the next chapter! So, you won\'t have to wait too long, just for it to be edited. Thanks for the review!
I just found this story and I'm enjoying your Remus. Update soon!
ah! so that's what Wilkins is! Very interesting! I really hope that map helps them remember their friendship with Remus! great chapter!
Author's Response: Yep that\'s what Wilkins is. The map may be helpful... it may not... not saying here. Thanks for reviewing.
Once again I really enjoyed this chapter...and I can't wait to see what happens next...it seems the story can go in so many different directions, which is great!
Perfect ending! I'm glad you didn't make it too happy, but a realistic happy...if that makes sense...because his life didn't turn perfect the moment Wilkin's was defeated. Remus still had to put in some effort to fix the problems in his life, but in the same instance you know that Remus is going to be ok. And I liked how you had Remus approach James, Sirius, and Peter about their previous friendship - that definitely took a lot of courage on his part. Thank you so much for sharing this great story and I'm going to miss it!
Author's Response: No, realistic happy makes sense. It wasn\'t a fairy tale ending but, like you said, you know he\'ll be okay. You\'re right, it did take courage for him to go up to James, Sirius and Peter. Thanks for reading, I\'m glad you took the time to!
Oh! I can't wait to see how it will all end! It's been a rather sad story lately (but still very, very good) and I hope Remus can conquer all those fears of his. I think he has more power in him than he thinks, since while he was in werewolf form, his 'human side' was still able to get through...
Author's Response: You won\'t have to wait very long, expect the final chapter up sometime next week. Thanks for reading!
Poor Remus! You sure like to torture the poor guy don't you? And I think Sirius' nickname for Remus - Lupy is great! haha - its so stupid and yet so perfect.
Author's Response: I don\'t like to torture him! It\'s Wilkins, who tortures him through the use of the author... which would be me.... Well it\'s not a task of enjoyment. I\'m glad you like Sirius\'s nickname for him. Thanks for the review!
wow...i was def shocked by Blake's death...poor Remus. What is going on with Wilkins?!!!!!!
Author's Response: Ooh you\'ll see what\'s happening with that evil child.
well that was a sad chapter...though I expected it to be. It was still a really good chapter! I can't wait to read about them becoming Animagi and then making Remus' transformations easier.
Author's Response: I think everyone\'s expecting some sadness in every chapter by now. Thanks for reading!
I'm so glad I found this story! It is excellent. I know writing in first person can sometimes be challenging, but you do a great job of it. And the interludes really add the the whole story, not only giving a different prespective , but also giving a realistic view of how it must have been like or how we think it woul dbe like. I also think you did a superb job of characterizing Lily and James - really developing their characters and putting a refreshing spin on who they are and how they got together. Its great to see a different take on how Lily and James fell in love and I can't wait until the next chapter!
Author's Response: I\'m very pleased at what you\'ve mentioned in this review: first off, I love that you think the story is excellent! :p I\'m also glad that you think the Interludes add to the story overall, because that\'s what I was going for, and I feared, slightly, that it might detract from the main Lily and James storyline. Finally, I\'m very happy that Lily and James seem real to you--realism is my top priority when I write. Thank you so much for the review! <3
Great start...I love Maurader era fanfics, but they do sometimes all start sounding the same. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope this will be different, that\'s what I\'m trying to do ... Thanks for reviewing!
haha...good job Remus - pouring your drink into Sirius's. I'm thinking that something interesting might occur next now that alcohol is being involved.
Author's Response: What self-respecting author does NOT include Firewhiskey at some point? lol. Thanks for the review!\r\n\r\nxxx
Awww...James...don't worry you'll get Lily eventually. (Though that was a low blow about Sirius not even loving his own family). I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: You are a very faithful reviewer and I very much appreciate it :)\r\n\r\nxxx
Quick update - which is good because your chapters are on the shorter side. I'm still really enjoying the story, and I loved the little comment at the end about Sirius making a better dog than human (I laughed out loud :) )
Author's Response: I\'m glad you\'re still enjoying this and I managed to make you laugh xxx
Wow you're an amazing writer. I don't usually read slash, but I've enjoyed your descriptions and characterizations, and so far the slash has been subtle.
Author's Response: Thank you for your wonderful review. I don\'t usually like most of the slash I stumble across as I find it very out of character and too unrealistic in its depiction of a relationship that develops between devoted friends. I hope my story sustains your interest and you stick with it. xxx
I was very excited to see an update. It is never easy to hear a friend cite your faults and I thought the dialogue between Sirius and Remus was very realistic and genuine.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your encouraging reviews. I hope you enjoy this story for many chapters to come\r\n\r\n\r\nxxxx
