This was an amazing chapter. I loved it... it was hilarious for most of the time, and I think it's funny how he half-berates himself for thinking like a pedophile (ahaha). The ending was perfect... you ended it on the correct note. That would be my thoughts too.

And this is done really well considering it was before the last three books. I never really noticed while I was reading it. Except for the fact you made it so Sirius and James were friends since they were tots, it was fine.

Loved it. And you were right: it can stand alone.

Severus Snape had never bothered to grow up.

Exactly the way I feel about him. I'll come back to read all your stories, but I just want to say, I loved this.

Have you read 'North' BY Inkandpaper? It is about Sirius' journey from Azkaban to Hogwarts via a detour to catch a glimpse of Harry. It's good. You might like to read it.

I don't believe Peter had any noble motives in joining Voldemort, but I loved reading this anyway. Can we please please have stories dating from when Bill and Charlie are in school and the marauders are idolized by them? The coat of armour one? Please?

Plotless it may be, but I immensly enjoyed this story.

This was absolutely fantastic. I even loved Wormtail's chapter, and I'm not normally a fan of -oh, shall we say "minor character"? fics- but I absolutely loved that perspective. Damn rat.

Absolutely amazing.
And I really couldn't care less if you didn't make it compliant to the end of the series. I loved it. You really know the characters perhaps even more than Rowling herself. I LOVE your portrayal of them, and am looking forward to reading more from you.

I think the J stands for John.

BRILLIANT. I am too stunned, amazed, awestruck, bewildered, blinded, dazzled by it's stunning, million-watt Brilliance with a capital B to write a long review. It is beyond me.

You know what? the whole "None of us is hiding Sirius Black under our cloaks. Go," and then Remus considering summoning a patronus using all those old memories, including those of sirius and harry... that just made all the difference, here. my favorite bit, hands down.
another wonderful chapter. i think i forgot to mention it before, but your characterisation of Peter was superb, and Remus is equally as brilliant: i enjoy this especially for all the flashbacks. Remus' sense of nostalgia is so touching and emotive, and once again you wrote this beautifully. the weaving of JK's dialogue in with your own descriptions was a lovely touch. *amazing* story

wow. this does wander on, but in a completely charming way. i loved percy as a child, and him being in the marauder's old dorm... and all the little touches about life with the weasleys. its gorgeous, and i love it. you write wonderfully well, and i am definitely going to favourite this!

OMG! you are an excellent writer! you captured everyones feelings perfectly! Congrats, you have made it onto my favorite authors list. Anyway, i've always seen sirius potrayed as an idiot and point of view stories are really hard to find. the good ones that is. and this "Harry’s arrival had the happy effects of cheering Ron and shutting up the smitten Ginny, who was auditioning without much success to be the next red-haired girl to die beside a Potter." was HILARIOUS. Keep writing and maybe we can see more povs with sirius in harry's 5th year?

until we meet again,

Interesting, detailed, and a nice change of perspective. I like it. Good luck in future stories, although, I daresay you don't really need it.

The 'J' in 'R.J. Lupin' stands for 'John'. Says so in 'A Muggles Guide to the Wizarding World', by Fiona Boyle. You can also find the full name of every other main character, mostly, plus name origins and back round history on every known character as of book 5. If you read book 6, 'R.A.B.' might be Regulus Alphard Black, Sirius' little brother. Sorry, I'm rambling and totally going nerd. I luv the story. Keep up the good work! If u have any other Potter questions, ask me at I know everything down to the color of Uncle Vernon's old socks!(they were mustard yellow)

That was awesome! An believable characterization of Wormtail, best I've come across. Also I must compliment you on the vast lenght of this chapter.
A great start of a promising story.

Hi, first of all I want to say thank you. I first read Innocence lost and found on Immeritus, about a year ago and it got me hooked on HP fanfiction!
And secondly, in response to the last question on questions from readers' Remus' middle name is John. No joke, JK said so herself.
