I'm pretty sure reviews are only scarce because readers are too absorbed in the chapter to think.

I can tell you enjoyed writing this. It's delightfully tragic.

1. Being different is cool per se. And really, a shy dark creature? Way too cool.
2. A vampire, no doubt. Have you met Lestat? :)

P.S: Im loving this story.

Aaahhh!Weeell,I can't believe I finished the fic already!How odd! :P!

OOH!What in the world,that was one amazing chapter!Your description and writing is just gorgeous,you know!This is truly beautiful,the want,the confusion,the starting!Love it!

Wow!Sirius and his angst-y teenage self!James is awesome still,at least with his friends!Good going with everyone!

OOHH!:D!This was absolutely wonderful,your writing takes my breath away with its perfection!

WHoooa!Nice one!The class and everything that happens with the boys there,perfect!

"inability to both defend himself and effectively curse an enemy"?
Lupin is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Prisoner of Azkaban. That would require a knowledge of both defense and curses. Just because he's not the most mischievous or glamorous Marauder doesn't mean he can't take care of himself.

oooh,lovely work! :)

This story is awesome. You have the characters written so well. Thanks!

Well. That was quite the epic. I really enjoyed it, and your notes were ridiculous and great. Good job. You kept them reasonably in character. The only thing I didn't quite believe was that Dumbledore would have thought Sirius was joking if he wasn't. Dumbledore's not at all stupid. Also, Lupin said it was a joke in the third book. I can see why you changed it, though.

SUCH a GREAT fic, aaaah! The first chapters I liked but I wasn't sure if this was going to be slash or not (since it's not in your summary, but I had some feeling that it would be), and then there was something about Remus noticing Sirius' muscular back and I went "Woot!".

Oh, so much angst and tension and angst and puppy-love and angst. Absolutely loved it. Especially that kiss on the train.

On an unrelated and completely un-stalkerish note, a quick visit to your profile tells me you're in Australia and a law student? Also in the same boat here, and I feel your pain about contracts (which I think you mentioned somewhere in a previous chapter).

wow this was absolutely wonderful it's been a while since i've read a new, satisfying fic, and this one was tremendously satisfying. thank you for this! it gave me a lot of feels
