Wow, I just loved this story!
The characters were all so well developed and they fit the brief outline that we have of them from canon so well that they seemed completely familiar.
Favorite line:
“No toothpick had been required to remove Snape from Remus’ teeth.”

I really appreciated the homophobia in this story as it is so often not touched on in HP. All too often the Wizarding World is used as some magical excuse for ignoring peoples inherent fear and hatred for what they do not understand. Another interesting aspect I haven’t seen before was Sirius’ inherited discrimination that Remus points out with the great line, “That’s your mother talking.” I really like the idea that Sirius has managed to dispel most of the hatred he has learnt for muggle-borns or half-bloods but would still posses it in areas that he had never of had the chance to dispel.

I adored Joe; as an OC go he is one of the best I have ever read. I felt so endeared towards him. Very Ravenclaw as well I thought. He didn’t have that exaggerated bravado of a Gryffindor but he also didn’t have the maliciousness of a Slytherin. A part of me even wanted him to get Sirius in the end. But I was so Happy when Remus and Sirius finally did get it together.

Really great story! I’m saving it to my hard drive if you don’t mind. A definite keeper!

Thank you so much for the feedback; I love it when people go into detail about what they liked and didn't like.

I enjoyed playing around with the homophobia, especially the rationalisation of it by Sirius, and I agree with you that it's not touched on enough in HP.

And as for Joe... I think I'll always be fond of him!

Feel free to save the story - thanks for letting me know, btw :-)
