Excellent reading. I so wish it had happened like that- Sirius cleared ad all...

"No. But the fact remains that Albus Dumbledore is the only reason either of us is a fully trained wizard. No one else would have let me into school and no one else would have kept you in school."

"Don't you believe that the responsibilities of a fully trained wizard include thinking for yourself?"

"That's why I'm not agreeing with you blindly."

ROFL!

And then again:

"What, Padfoot? Lost your sense of adventure?"

"My sense of adventure is more than intact. My sense of realism has grown over the past few years."

"Then realize this: the Ministry of Magic is incompetent in more ways than allowing itself to be led by Fudge."

I love the way you write them.

Loved this story

Harry is defntly a maurader but also one very strong willed young man and i think remus is proud

nice twist but it worked

loved seeing this side of Percy! there is good in him that is for sure

and Ron go ron

and lupin well done

the eight gryffindors brought tears to my eyes in their belief for Lupin and McGonagall had every reason to be impressed with them

loved the interrogation from mcgonagall and the prefect of harry he deserves it

and the reasoning on the prefect brilliant

I loved this. The banter between Lupin and Sirius was awesome. It was great to see the two of them working together on Harry's behalf. I really liked the way you depicted Harry dealing with everything that had happened. It seemed very in character for him, but also something that a fifteen year old boy would do. Sirius and Lupin have long been among my favorite characters, so it was awesome to see them in such a prominent role and being around Harry more. I especially loved the bonding moments between Sirius and Harry.

In short, this was amazing and I'm really glad I read it!

To start off, I am not very familiar with Harry Potter, the movies or the books (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie is a fuzzy memory of a dead Dumbledore and a angsty blonde boy with a bird in a closet.) Needless to say, I usually don't read HP fanfic. However, one author fave tends to lead to another, and I stumbled across this work and absolutely loved it! I don't know that much about the characters, so I can't really say whether I thought they were OOC, but I can say that I read decent amount of fanfiction (okay, more than a decent amount...) and have come to the point where I can spot a good story from a mile away. This was one such story. Your writing was fluid, the plots never got so twisted that I had no clue what was going on, the characters were intriguing, and don't even get me started on the Remus and Sirius interactions. The whole thing was just one big not-so-guilty pleasure and I look forward to reading your other stories, especially the sequels. Thanks for sharing!

Sincerely,

Wonderful. I loved this story... and I can't wait to jump to the next story of the series. Please, tell me you've killed Voldie-oldie at the end! xD I couldn't take another ending!

You characters are realistic, and human: I loved especially your Remus, he is marvellous!

My compliments, again!

after reading your (very long) authors note, which i agree with completely, I would just also like to point out that in Harry's father's year, there was only 4 male Gryffindors. Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs. It would have been completely impossible to plan all those pranks without another dorm mates finding out. Also, great story. I generally read any story with Sirius as a guardian, as he's my favorite character, and this is one of the best I've read. :)

This may have been written pre-OotP and pre-DH, but with only a few exceptions, all the characters seem pretty in-character to me! Dumbledore's still manipulative as ever, lol.

Don't gouge out your eyes! I enjoyed it and I think it was very inmkeeping with character as of GOF and it had two of my fave characters (Sirius and Remus Hurrah!) in it. And Sirius SHOULD have been cleared; well before he DIED anyway. That was a low blow Jo, really. I'm looking forward to reading the next one even if it is from Percy's perspective. He is fascinating to play with if a little annoying. And I have to admit I am curious to see how he and Snape interact.

very good story off to read book 2

Hi!

This was a good chapter! :)

That is a good plan Sirius has! Heheh, Sirius pretends to be Remus... And it was good that he got Hermione invloved. :)

Poor Harry...his uncle and aunt are mean to him...

Aw, such a nice sweet talk between Sirius and Harry... 8D
