I really love how you've portrayed Remus - especially his dialogue and mannerisms! The fact that they were both obviously experienced without falling into any of those cliches was very nicely done. Both of them, Remus and Sirius, felt very real to me.
One of the things I love most about this pairing is imagining the many different ways they can be written and portrayed, and still have it ring true and resonate within me. Because, when it comes down to it, we really don't know much about these characters at all - which means the way I perceive them is always fluid, with multiple possibilities. Originally, I had a certain picture of them in my head, but the talented authors in this fandom have allowed me to expand my perceptions, and I love seeing all of the interpretations. (Well, not all *g*) There are certain authors who I feel capture these 'possibilities' quite well, but in the same sense, I can never completely nail down one particular characterization and say "Yes! That's them absolutely, and all the others have it wrong

Finger charms Those sound like a brilliant idea! May I use it?
Well, the sub-plot had to go, it was plain silly, at least in my opinion. It didn't even make it into the version I sent off for beta-ing, to be honest. But I do have another fic in the making that is about music. It's strange how music is lacking in the books, isn't it? The only live music we had so far were the Weird Sisters in GF, if memory serves.
*not falling for your attempt at distraction AT ALL* You're so done for with the 'Siri' thing, my dear... *GGG*

Be my guest :)
And yes, it is strange. Well, there was the school song. I do wonder though, if the wizarding radios also pick up Muggle stations - seems a waste to just have the one WWN station. And that would mean every wizard listens to the same thing - rather dull, really.
