I know I only left a tiny review last time, but that was because I felt I was interrupting the story - I really wanted the next chapter to come out before I wrote anything more - but it is such a long time coming!

I am dying to know if Lindi is going to find out who spiked the punch, and if Lily knows already. Also, I know this is a Remus fic, but I do love the little Lily/James touches. It is lovely seeing their romance unfold through the eyes of friends to whom it is not the most important fact of life. It almost makes it more potent!

And I am dying to find out if Lindi is terribly embarrassed about what she let slip about Remus's kissing prowess, or whether she is going to take it in stride now they are together. I also want to find out if she actually thinks they really are together, because if anybody could not think that after this night it would be Lindi.

So you see what a fantastic writer you are? Each chapter leaves so many questions, your readers are literally going insane or dying to find out what happens next, besides thoroughly enjoying the chapter they are reading. And re-reading.

Just a quick question - since you do have this, shall we say, fairly evil tendency - to leave us hanging on the brink of insanity (if I am still hanging instead of having fallen in, which is doubtful)...were you Sorted into Slytherin?

Author's Response: Fairly evil tendency? *gasps* And here I\'m submitting the next chapter...But it has been a really long time in coming. *apologizes profusely* I think it will answer some of your questions, though. I am just so thrilled that you are still even interested in having questions answered after all this time.

I am so glad you like the bits of Lily/James. Thank you. And you make me laugh about Lindi. She really is a bit daft about some things, isn\'t she? And, me, sorted into Slytherin? *dies laughing* That would never happen; I\'m a Gryffindor! (Though I don\'t know how that happened, either!) But thank you so much for such a wonderful review (even after I\'ve been so negligent in my updates). I really, really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the next chapter.

I just love Rena. She is completely hysterical! My husband came in to see why I was laughing. Poor woman.

Just two things - it would be usual to have "Why? I didn't do it." rather than "“Why, I didn’t do it?” and you have an "s" in decent, so that they are descending.

Sorry, I am a nit picker. But I loved the story. Definitely not a letdown. Can't believe it updated the very day I left a review berating you for not posting!

I do like your characterization of the Marauders. Especially Sirius. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you like Rena. I feel for her so much and can imagine myself being exactly the same way when my own son gets to that stage. I absolutely dread it!

I feel like the chapter was a success if you laughed loudly enough that your husband noticed. I\'m so glad! And thanks so much for the nit picking. I went back and corrected those things when I saw this earlier today. When I saw your review from earlier, as soon as the chapter had posted, I had to laugh. Of course, I felt guilty that I had let it go so long to deserve the berating, but I don\'t mind being chastised when it is done so kindly. Ahh...Sirius...I do enjoy writing him. I\'m glad you like the way I\'ve done it so far. Thank you, Buckbeak22. I really appreciate the review.

Getting better and better. Once you have read this, it is hard to imagine it happening any other way!

Oh no! Poor Will! I was so glad he was figuring more largely in the story and now he is gone. So far I think he is my favorite character. I hope it is going to be Remus to the rescue, but I suppose I will just have to wait and see!

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad to hear you like Will so much. It is really special when someone likes one of my very own characters. Thanks for that. I truly hope it isn't 5 more months before you find out what happens to him. <.< :) Thank you, buckbeak22.

Wow, I hadn't realized that it had been almost two years since I left my first review.

Also, I realize that I have started to say "my favourite chapter so far..." each time I review. But since it is true, all it means is that your writing is getting better and better!

Author's Response: (Today is Mob’s Anniversary!) Yeah, two years, I think we\'re both insane! LOL I\'m so glad you think the story is only getting better. I wish I had more time to dedicate to it, as I worry I\'m going to start slipping. I will do my very best not to let that happen. After two years, I feel I owe you. ;) Thanks, Buckbeak22.

Very funny as usual. You really have the Marauders down pat. I love Sirius and his remark about Lindi not being into anything kinky! And I also like the fact that even though Remus was watching Lindi in the air, he didn't see her catch the snitch, but you imply that James did - seekers eyes!

Author's Response: I’m so glad you think so. I have a pretty clear picture of the Marauders in my own head as I think about them way too much! It’s nice to know you think it is accurate. Ah, Sirius...he is a naughty little hottie! Poor Remus was too worried that Lindi was going to splatter all over the ground to notice the snitch. James, on the other hand, was all about the match. Not that he didn’t care if she died, but the Quidditch Cup was at stake for Merlin’s sake!

Gosh! She has so much nerve! Probably, being Lindi she is used to far too much male attention, but Voldemort is so unbelievably creepy. I thought you wrote him very well. Gave me the shivers!

Author's Response: BUCKBEAK!!!!!!! I haven't lost you! Just a week or so ago, on the Forums, I was lamenting that I thought I'd finally run you off with my horrid updating record. I am truly thrilled to see you are still in this with me, though I am almost as worried for your sanity as my own! :) I'm happy to know you found Voldemort creepy, because he definitely should be, since we know he is! Thank you for letting me know you are still reading. It's motivating!! And I need all the motivation I can get, obviously. :*)

So you need to update again! Definitely want to know what happens. Also want to know if we see Lindi again... Is that it? The last Remus sees of her? Is he going to write?

Author's Response: I know...>.< I'm so terribly distracted, but I actually have 1 and 1/2 chapters mostly written. I can't post the first of the two yet, though, because I keep tweaking it due to things from the second. That and I can't remember things I need to know for them because it has been so long since I started writing this thing. Ugh...I've said it before, but I wish I had a MoB lexicon. Haha... Anyway, I am getting close, because there is more to tell, though sometimes I'm tempted to write, "The next morning, a headline screamed out from the front page of the Daily Prophet, Ministry Official and Hogwarts Student Ambushed: Student killed by Death Eaters, and Remus was very sad for many years to come. The end." and put an end to this endless tale! But I just can't, especially now that I know you are still here after all this time. Thanks a lot!! ;D

Oh poor Remus! Now all he has to discover is that Lindi is actually married to someone out in Australia, or has a wierd jinx that stops her dating. I am sure there is something behind her nervousness, after all Remus is a friend. She isn't a werewolf is she? But you haven't mentioned her being tired at certain times, so I guess she isn't.

Only one tiny nitpick, newspapers don't usually quote the word "bloody". It would probably be filled in as a blank. And you didn't have to put in the bit about Mr Muddlesford gesturing, as it would have been in the photo, wouldn't it?

I really like the way you have incorporated so many figures from the books. It ties everything together with what happens later very well. Are you nearing the end of the story? Only I noticed you slipped your title into the text in this chapter.

Author's Response: *Tee-Hee.*..married...jinxed...a werewolf? *grins*

So, is bloody considered foul language? I\'ll fix that. *blush* I never thought of it that way; that\'s kind of funny. I think the part with Muddlesford gesturing is a good point too; I didn\'t even consider that. *blush* Only with the photo being on the front page and the article on second, eh, I\'m not sure. I\'ll read it and see. Thanks for pointing those out. :)

I really enjoy using many of the characters mentioned in the books, on JKR\'s site and from her Quidditch and Fantastic Beasts books. I just think she\'s given us so much to work with; it\'s so much fun. Nearing the end? I\'m afraid there is still a way to go...(did I just frustrate everyone to no end? O.O) Yes, the title made a showing. That was the second time I\'ve done that. (first came in Ch. 2 :-) ) I don\'t know why I do that; I think the title is kind of corny, which is why I usually refer to the story as MoB. ;*) Oh, well, it is too late to change it now. Thank you, Buckbeak22, I appreciate it.

I really enjoyed these two chapters. I like the fact that all the dress robes are the type that Ron would have worn later on. It does tie it up nicely.

Author's Response: Thank you, Buckbeak22. The description of poor Ron just put this picture in my mind of old prom pictures from the seventies…the ruffled shirts, pastel tuxes *dies*. I almost gave Sirius powder blue robes, but I decided he wouldn’t have looked nearly as hot as he would in elegant black ones. But I had to give them ruffles. :-) I’m glad you enjoyed it.
