(ahh, seem to reviewing all your stories recently XP live with it)

That was so good! You're right, no one seems to look at James as an individual, and you did such a great job! Marvelous writing!

OK, I thought I submitted a review for this one, but I'm not sure where it went. Here's what I said in my first attempt. Feel free to delete if this is a duplicate.

I love: your portrayal of Snape, “Life was opening the door again and again to Sirius, it was wrapping an arm around him in silence, able to communicate with something more than words and magic,” and James’ inner monologue about the badge.

Other notes:
Remy- not a canon nickname
There’s actually a rule against using song lyrics in your fic on but I won’t tell if you don’t tell.

Oof...my favorite part of this was the brackets...it was so raw to have those in there, but so James.

Actually this whole thing was just James, and even Snivellus was perfect with his quavering voice...I admire your ability to portray James so well without putting him in the context we usually see him.

This is so perfectly blissfully sweet, and I particularly loved his thoughts on recieving the Head Boy badge. The brackets were awesome, I'm a big fan of brackets being used in context. It's great how you included the others, but still made it completely about James. Really interesting, and I feel priveledged to be reading it :).

Wow … I feel so loved today, both you and Huffie have dedicated the most amazing stories to me. *humungous grin* between that and the beach, I’ve had such a freaking fantabulous day. =P

I love the James you write, how not only does he have the relationship with Lily, but he has one with Remus, with Sirius, with Peter. He’s not perfect, he has his faults, but they love him for it, because they are his friends. That’s what James should be like, and not many people get that. Love the song, too, it fits so *perfectly* Is. Amazed. Those bits in brackets, they add so much more to the story, and wow, this is amazing and I am so proud of you.

Lots of review love,
