How sad!

But very well written, I think. It's just like Remus to try to find the hidden explanation. And I think you portrayed Mrs. Pettigrew's thoughts and actions very, very well. It was like reading her diary.

I especially liked the random diary entry in there. Lots of emotion, and it seems like something one would actually have found in a journal.

Very nice. :]

Aww how sweet. That's adorable, and you know what? That's right. Candlelit dinners in fancy restaurants aren't needed when you know you want to be with the one you want. *Tear* It's wonderful!

Ooo, i love this story! Wonderful!

"Then get on with it." ;] haha

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I\'m glad you liked that line too! ^_^

Oh my gosh I've always loved this story- I cannot believe that I never reviewed this.

Simply beautiful. Such a way with words and emotions you have. Words can't describe what I think of this, just know that it's a good thing. :]

Wonderfully fluffy!

Author's Response: lol so glad you liked it :P:P Im usually more leaning towards humour angst n drama so that fic was very foreign for me to write :P

Still many thankies and huggles for the banner; I love it! Sorry for reviewing so late, I've been busy and stuff. *shakes head* Anyway...

Gosh, I really like this story.

I think it's absolutely wonderful how you repeat his number over and over, and how it symbolizes his prisoner self, and that he's not Sirius Black anymore.

Oh, but I did notice that instead of a period in the first sentence, it should be a comma, because you say the official is reading the number. ;)

And Lily wouldn't be in a pool of blood, would she, since the AK doesn't leave a mark, unless of course, you had Voldemort torture her first... (Sorry, this is just my beta side coming on. *laughs* )

The memories are fewer and fewer, slowly replacing themselves with a constant barrage of everything he has ever tried to forget. Mostly though, it is the few last memories that haunt him the most. Sirius reminds himself that it was not his fault, that he is innocent.


Sometimes he wonders if he is losing his mind.


I feel this is a very powerful few lines. It captures how he remained sane, really, with the thoughts of being innocent. Yet, while it keeps him sane, he thinks he's going insane.. Funny how that works.

Snuffles curls up in the patch of sun and dreams of chasing rabbits in warm fields, his nose twitching slightly as he sleeps.

For some reason, I find this adorable. To think that, being an Animagus - an illegal one at that - could save you. So technically, if someone went to Azkaban for being an illegal Animagus, wouldn't they stay mentally intact because they could change at will? And if they could turn into a bug or something, like Rita Skeeter, wouldn't it be insanely easy to escape? Haha, that's kinda cool.

The Minister seems a bit surprised by this statement. Snuffles realizes that he has probably been greeted by blank stares or screams at every other cell.


“Well, good then.” He turns to go, and Snuffles is struck by a sudden thought.


“Er, Minister, are you done with your paper?” Fudge stops and looks curiously at him. “I miss doing the crossword.” He finishes lamely. The Minister turns and confers with the assistant before speaking to him.

I love this. I particularly liked reading the line where the Minister isn't used to having a prisoner reply. Fudge should have known right then and there that Sirius was sane and fine - well, as "fine" as you can be in Azkaban.

The next day, he begins pacing his cell as he considered the situation. It felt decidedly odd to be doing something like this, for someone who had spent the last ten years in a haze, but it was something that needed to be done. For the first time in twelve years, Sirius felt alive. For the first time, he had a purpose. He knows that he needs to do something, but he isn’t sure what.

I like this because it shows Sirius' loyalty and love for his godson, even if he's never really known him.

Admittedly, as much as he wants to protect Harry, and as much as he owes it to James to ensure that Pettigrew isn’t able to complete what he started, he is afraid.

This line also shows Sirius' dedication to his best friend. I also like it because it shows he is actually scared. Because he is afraid, it shows the way he wants everything to go right, and this leads back to his loyalty to James, once again.

Okay, okay, last one, I promise. :)

Sirius is alive once more, prisoner twenty-one, forty-three, eleven, ninety-nine left behind in the foaming surf.

Once again, the symbolism of the number 21431199 and how he leaves it behind in the sea, as if washing it off.

I tip my hat off to you for this writing. 'Tis marvelous, and this story will definitely go on my favorites. I'll be off to read your other stories soon! :)

Author's Response: I don\'t mind, a review is a review and late or not makes me happy. I\'ve been debating on whether or not I should leave it a period or make it a comma, because I wanted to create kind of a detached sense, like it\'s not really normal conversation but something that he\'s hearing through his shock because he\'s still dealing with his friends\' betrayals and deaths. And no, Lily isn\'t actually in a pool of blood, it\'s her hair streaming about her that creates the effect, so he thinks that it looks like she\'s lying in a pool of blood. And thanks again for the review because really long ones like yours are wonderful because they actually highlight the good and bad parts of the story instead of just saying they liked it.

Still love this story. Wonderful, so sweet. My heart is warmed by the powerful emotions and use of words here. Truly wonderful writing.

Omigosh I love it. It fits James' and Lily's characters perfectly. :] I can't stress how much I love this story. And yea I agree, Dumbledore's plan worked a little TOO well ;]. Keep writing!

hehe wow that's great. Never thought about it like that. Keep writing :)

Wow, beautiful. :)

The thoughts behind it are excellent and it's almost mind-boggling. I love the way you captured Fudge - it's excellent.

This is so going on my faves. It's really the best poem I've read in a long time.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m actually a songwriter, so poetry has been something I\'ve been relatively good at, but this is one of the best compliments I\'ve received in a while!

Thanks again!
