 brezy bri 2009-12-26 . chapter 1hahhaha! loved the story! i felt like you had sirius pegged, it seemed that would be his reaction completly. |
 dreams.of.destiny 2009-07-07 . chapter 1I just love your writing style and your characterizations. All of the Marauders act their age (something that a lot of fanfictions tend to forget) and it's just really FUN reading your story. xD
This line just made me crack up, "There was something horrifyingly thrilling about the idea, like discovering that your cute pet kitten had just eviscerated a squirrel.", if only because it is SO Sirius! It ended so sweetly, just the way I've always wanted it to end!
Thank you for sharing!

 Lanetha Mercion 2009-02-05 . chapter 1oh, sirius is wonderful. This is probably how they actually would have found out too. It's fun how I like your characters while occasionally wanting to whack them. Interesting title by the way. |
 CSnow 2008-03-12 . chapter 1You've got the Marauders down pat! I really enjoyed this oneshot, and I hope you write more HP fanfics! |
 snarky Beth 2008-03-03 . chapter 1Amazing job! You had this well thought out and it was a very good length. I liked how you did everyone's reaction to the news, very realistic to how they'd all react. Excellent work! |
 Anonymous 2007-12-01 . chapter 1 I love this story. Keep up the good work. |
 werewolfsfan 2007-07-27 . chapter 1Well done. I think this is the most realistic take on how these boys would have figured this out and how thy would have eventually become close. |
 Flagella 2007-07-24 . chapter 1There were both good qualities and not so good aspects to this. First, the good! I felt Peter was spot on as was James. At first Sirius didn't seem like Sirius. Maybe because he ran away from the Whomping Willow in fright. He just seems in my mind to be too fearless to do that, and I would have thought concern for Remus would have stopped him from running as well. But Sirius began to seem more in character mid-point through this fanfic, so perhaps you were just getting into the swing of things.
I really liked the bit (about a quarter from the end) in which Remus' relationship with Sirius was described. A lot of people always paint the picture that Remus and Sirius were really good mates right off the bat at Hogwarts, so it was nice (and a bit more realistic) to describe it as Remus being 'beneath Sirius' notice'.
Also, this description for the win (I totally cracked up when reading this):
"He was the kind of guy that, if you were a bankrobber, you would want him to drive the getaway car, because he'd remember to keep the tank full, and he wouldn't lock the keys in the car or get arrested for a traffic violation when you were making your escape."
But like I said there were also some things I wasn't so sure about. Like the boy in the infirmary having 'chicken pox'. It always seemed like dragon pox were more common than chicken pox in the wizarding world and I think describing him having dragon pox would have fit more with the setting. Same with the blood transfusion stuff. It seems distinctly muggle-ish.
And minor type-o:
"I don't have acne! It's chicken box!" the boy hissed at his back.
Box should be pox.
There was another type-o I saw while reading, but I can't find it now...
Anyway, I thought overall it was quite good. |
 Lone Butterfly 2007-06-26 . chapter 1I am a huge fan of "Becoming Neville", and I was thrilled to see this story when I was following one of my old "Favorite" links. You have great talent, and I hope you'll continue (come back to?) writing.
I think what I enjoy most is the way you develop your characters. This was an excellent explanation of how the Mauraders could have found out about Remus' "furry little problem", and I enjoyed it.
Wonderful tale - I hope to see more from you. ~Lone Butterfly |
