I liked this a lot. The 11 year old voices are simple and refreshing and fun. I liked how you showed how each of these boys are still heavily influenced by their parents, but getting to the point where they can speak their own minds.

I like your view of young Sirius. I've read fics where he starts out in first year as the imperious and stuck-up heir to the Ancient and Noble House of Black. You show him also as a somewhat spoiled friendly young pup who needs to establish his pack. Both views are valid, I think. I like the way you've brought out the pup a bit more.

Then, at the end, you remind us that these aren't simple boys who had happy childhoods, these are boys with secrets.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! I agree that both variations on young Sirius are 'valid.' When I was writing this, I kind of wanted to parallel Sirius's innocence in spite of his parents' affinity for the dark arts with Remus's innocence despite his, shall we say, other half. They're both victims of circumstance, really. I also appreciate that you understood that both boys are coming to the realization that they're in the world, too, and that they aren't their parents.

Your review means a lot to me, so thanks again!

I really liked this, but I'm late for work (forgot to set my clock for daylight savings time) so I can't take time to comment.

Err...I hope you got to work on time. (Were you saying my fic is so wonderful it made you late? -wink,wink-)

Well I was already late because I forgot to set my clock ahead for DST and then I was out of town for four days, but when I saw your fic there I figured hang for the sheep as well as the lamb.

Very good. I'd try to make some pithy comments, but I'd just sound like I'm parroting rissabby. So, let me just say, "Everything rissabby said."

Well, I don't mind parrots all that much, but thanks anyway! I'm glad you liked it, and, hopefully, comprehended what I was trying to get across. Thanks for reading!

I like this a whole lot. I enjoy the idea of religion making some sort of appearance because I mean some come from muggle families so it's bound to be a part of some of their lives.
Very nice, liked it a lot.

I agree about the thing with religion; that's why I'd been itching to write a fic like this for so long. Thanks for reading.

That's lovely! I've always imagined Remus' mom taking him to church. Even though later, and for our joy, he deviated from the good path.

And Sirius... I just want to take him home and pet him to death.

I think Remus gets a bit more cynical with age. In my head, old Remus is so jaded, that I just loved writing young, sweet Remus. Perhaps he clings onto the love and hope The Bible brings him in the beginning because he's ready for life to not give him any (and not to send the puppy-shippers screaming, but you have to admit Tonks was pretty great for that).

You're free to pet Sirius any way you please, lol.
