I really enjoyed this! James' reactions to the Muggle things in Lily's house was priceless, and I loved the way you set up the scene when they first Apparate into the alley. I felt like I could see Lily's hometown very vividly. I also liked all the details, like the description of the graffiti on the alley walls and the colors of Lily's candles.

The only complaint I have is that the constant cursing was a little distracting from the dialogue. I think a lot of it could read a lot better without. But that's just my opinion.

:) Otherwise, fantastic job!

Oh oh oh. It's so realistic and the reactions are so true. I rather wanted to drink it in rather than read it. So many twists and turns and moments to linger in. Excellent.

This is gorgeous. I really liked the conversation about Snape, and James loving Lily's big heart, and James being afraid of the Hoover. :-D
