I love this story soooooo much! It is superbly done and I think, that if JK will give you permisson, you should try and get it published. This is the best story i've read that had ANYTHING to do with HP. I'm Sirius! (well actually i'm not, Sirius is). But, anyways, I think this is (no offense to JK) even better then the real HP books. Several times during this story, i've had to pause and lat what you've written just sink in (I usually only have to do this when something is very well written). Because of aforsaid words in ()'s, I parctically had to pause in every paragraph. Throughout this story, i've had tears in my eyes (I do now in fact) and at the end of the book I was actually sobbing. You have portayed the Maruaders (and Lily) perfectly. You have done it as no one that i've read of (read their work I mean) has been able to do. You made it perfectly as I had expected it to be. In fact, if you would (PLEASE DO!) write stories for their other six years (I would be SOOOOOOO THRILLED, DELIGHTED, and whatever other happy adjectives that you can think of) I won't have to resot to starting a petition to get JK to do so. When i started reading this, you were at a three way tie for my fave fanfic about the marauders ever! No however, this story is a the top, then comes "The Ever Secret Diary of Sirius Black, and then "All in the Timing". This is done so magnifacintly that I just can't even describe it throughly. I mean, you had everything perfect! From how the Maruaders found out about Remus to the whole Lily and James thing (many have achieved getting down things like the whole them finding out about Remus thing down but you are the first that has portrayed the Lily and James thing with just the right amount of everything) to Sirius keeping an eye on James and Lily. You are the fist person so far to give such an accurate account of what happened with evrything that had to do with the Marauders. Okay, so maybe this isn't how JK would have planned it but this is how I deep down (even though I didn't know it until I read this) had planned it. I mean, everything ties together perfectly! PLEASEEEEEEE do the other six years!!! I could keep going on forever about this story but then, after all, I could finish writing this and have Mugglenet say that i've written to much and then I would have to keep on going back and rewriting this until I got everything that I wanted to say into just the right amount of words and that would be VERY boring. Not to mention that I wouldn't get to read all of your other stories and you (although i'm sure that people have asked you before but you haven't heard it from me yet) wouldn't be able to read my plea for the rest of "The Marauder Years" and then I wouldn't get to read and...and...well, you get the idea. So, now, in just a few, minutes anyway, I will end this review. But, first, your rating. Yes, yes I know they have a scale but I would prefer to use my own. So, without further ado my rating of you story (mind you, this could be almost as long as my review but, I promise that they are to defferent things) again, among other things, here is my rating of your story: Although as I said before, you have written the best HP thing that i've ever read and also the best fanfic, Marauders story etc..., My standards are very high and therefore you will not be recieving a 10 (though I would encourage you to write as you could, though I higly doubt it, get better) so, with that said here is my rating (again, among other things) for your story.

I just wanted to stop by and say again how very much I enjoyed this story. It offers an astounding backdrop for the real series, and the ending is spectacular! You truly are a wonderful author and I hope you continue writing for a long time to come!

This is copied!!!!!!! Anyone that wants to read the REAL story, can go to fanfiction.net The username of the REAL author is SMH. She has like 50 chapters up or something. This girl is a fake!!! I'm rating THIS story as a -10000000 but the REAL story by the REAL author is a 10000000000000!!!!!!

Author's Response: >.< urgh....

Ok, I would just like to let everyone know that what I said earlier was wrong. I mixed this story up with a different one called "Being 16 isn't as easy as it sounds". Their is another girl on here who is posting that story and in doing so, she is copying it from someone else. I had the fics mixed up and I am truly sorry! Liisa is the REAL author of this fic and I love it. Please don't think that she is copying anyone else's work!

Author's Response: Well at least you had the decency to do this...thanks ever so much (that was sarcastic)

I love this!! Please update soon!!

Author's Response: your wish is my command

I like this story. It doesn't seem to stay very close to the clues that JKR has given us (Lily ans Sirius being such good friends, and James only likeing her since Christmas). It's pretty good though.

Please update soon! I'm upping the rateing! I'ts gotten even better!

LOVE IT!! Please update soon!!

Well, I won't be adding this to my faves list. I might check back for updates though. There are quite a few mistakes though. Sorry. From what I've heard though, it's a lot better than the last version so, good job! This story has promise.

Personally, though I can see many people like this fanfic, I HATE IT WITH A PASSION!! It's WAYYYYYYy to slutty, of charchter, poorly written, and just horrible. I'm sorry for sounding harsh but it's true. erikthephantom has much better stories!! I'm rating this a 1 but if I could, I would rate it a negative infinity!!

Author's Response: If you hated it so much why did you bother reading? And thank you sooo much for raising my review count! But one request; Please try to be slightly constructive in your reviews, otherwise I WILL get them deleted.
