Done rereading for 3rd time.
Still hope that one day you will choose to continue this story

Ahhh at last I've found this story again! Had a nagging reminder of a great lupin story I'd read before and I've searched through loads. None could scratch the itch quite like this one though. Absolutely adore your writing. And the truest characterisation of Lupin I've found. Settle down to reread the whole thing

I was wondering about the presence of a Crouch (Quintilla) and her earlier part in the harassment of Sirius for embarrassing his family and going against their expectations in First Year. Is this a suggestion that the Crouch family has ties to the Dark Arts? I mean Barty Crouch Sr. was involved in punishing that sort of thing but he was extremely harsh. And maybe his family was involved somehow? That might help explain why his son joined the Death Eaters. I ask because it seems like the entirety of Slytherin, even if they aren’t directly involved, must know about Malfoy and Lestrange basically grooming the other Slytherins into little Death Eaters. So it seems odd that Barty Crouch’s own family (can’t remember if you said Quintilla is his niece or cousin) wouldn’t report this behavior to him unless the Crouch’s are somehow involved in the Dark Arts to some degree.
I love to think about all this stuff and I appreciate how good you are at making us think without being obnoxious about it (like pretentious about evoking high thought or whatever) but it’s also not super obvious stuff. It’s nice to be kept thinking of things even on the fifth time rereading it all.

Omg I forgot to comment on the nine year anniversary on the 20th but congrats on nine years of AtM! It’s an awesome story and an amazing feat of writing

Okay I’m rereading now. There is something incredibly magical about this story. It’s been years since I’ve read all of the HP books, and although they will always have a special place in my heart, as time goes on it’s more difficult to relate to Harry/the golden trio. Remus on the other hand... maybe it’s his life long struggles, or underneath the calm and professional exterior lies his severe insecurities and self loathing, or knowing that even when his heart is in the right place he still makes questionable decisions/mistakes like we all do. I don’t know, but reading the narrative through Remus’s perspective I get pulled back into that feeling of comfort and escape that the wizarding world brings. And with everything going on in the real world right now, it feels amazing to reconnect with that. Seriously - thank you again for creating a prequel so well written that, to me, is not only canon but something so personally meaningful.

I love the strengths, flaws, and personalities that you give to all of the different characters - the students, the professors, and the parents. Betta MacFusty and Dorcas Meadowes are my new favorites. There are so many details, scenes, and dialogue that make total sense, but I never really thought about them before reading this. From Sirius’s initial disappointment of being sorting into Gryffindor to Professor Flitwick assisting Dumbledore with charming the Shrieking Shack (the Missing Moments are genius btw), I can’t help but think ‘of course that’s what happened!’ Needless to say I’m really enjoying the reread and am very happy that I’m only on chapter 7.

I just finished reading this, I really hope you continue to write it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every chapter. Each chapter is wonderfully written, addressing the complexity of characters and their relationships and keep me intrigued. Chapter 134 does not feel like an ending and I do not believe it was intended as one. I am so hoping more chapters are written and shared.

This is so good. It literally made my heart start hammering in my chest. It honestly scared me.

First time reader here! So many fans have posted eloquently written, positive reviews/commentary that I wholeheartedly agree with. Although I could not express the sentiment better myself, I still wanted to let you know that you have gained another long term fan of your characterization, pacing, and world building.

I was very happy to read in your bio that you are still writing and will update this story when the moment is right. Thank you for all of the imagination, time, and energy you have already put in.

Now on to the missing moments and your other stories. After that, I’ll do a reread as it’s always a different perspective the second time around. I’ll do my best to provide valuable thoughts on the earlier chapters. You deserve to hit 5k reviews! :)

I think this story is great. Glad to know as of July 2020, you’re still writing and have plans to finish this story. I found your stories through /harry-potter-fan-fiction-read-after-series/.

You might like fan fiction by Northumbrian. He delves into Lavender Brown’s life as a werewolf. Hunters and Prey is the first story featuring her as a werewolf. s/6342013/1/Hunters-and-Prey

I am enjoying how you've written Sirius' character SO MUCH. His character is perfect. This is GREAT.

James Potter is perfect, too, of course! Just obviously not as likeable at this point in the story.

Can't wait to see how the group all wind up as close as they are by the end of school.

This is so good! I love it.

I think you do a really good job writing Hagrid! The way he talks, his mannerisms, the way he responds to people, etc. all fit him really well. (Also I think his dog in this series is awesome. I love Fang of course but Poppet is a funny contrast)

This chapter is so sweet I love it 3 I did a little happy squirm when I finished reading it

This is like the fourth or fifth time I’m rereading this fic and I’m embarrassed to say I’m only just realizing that Remus’ dad’s behavior of shame and horror are because his actions are what led to Remus getting bitten. I have no idea why it took me this long to realize that. Previously I just assumed that he was actually ashamed of Remus being a werewolf.
I appreciate the complex characterization and also that you didn’t spell that out for us. Other people might’ve gotten that before me or maybe you intended it to be obvious, but I appreciate that I’m able to still get new things every time I read the fic. In my opinion, that’s one of the marks of good writing in fiction.
