This is in response to
robofrog's request:
Set during POA. I imagine many girls would've had rather big crushes on Professor Lupin. How would McGonagall, who of course had noticed the closeness of Mssrs. Black and Lupin during their time at Hogwarts, react to their giggling and note-passing during her class?This was meant to be an entirely happy fic, but

Ecstatic that MCGonagall was right and that you liked it because ... well ... HUZZAH!

That's wonderful because I did want it to be, dare I say it, multi-faceted (sounding like a hair commercial here). And bitter-sweet is the perfect word. Now I can describe it properly (it has been in the back of my mind and I just couldn't get it out).
Thanks immensely for the kind words.

I like that you keep that outsiders'-pov sense, yet you show that even someone who isn't part of the inner circle can care about what's going on. It was a small war and a small Order, so of course everyone knew everyone else's business.

Exactly. They must have been close and understood each other to some degree, and that was what I wanted to express.
Thanks for the wonderful and thoughtful comment and I'm more than glad that you liked it.

*nod* She's dedicated, and I think she has faith in her students. Someone like Snape, for instance, may be a good classroom teacher (and I *do* think he's a good teacher in that his students *learn*), but he's probably a lousy head of house. McG nurtures her students, even if that means being strict, and the Gryffs are more or less well behaved because of her presence; Snape controls kids through fear.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and not just because I requested it, heh. I especially adored the scene where Minerva visited young Remus in the hospital wing; so many memorable lines there (and throughout the rest of the fic, of course). I think you got McGonagall spot on, by the way. With the biscuits and the stern-but-not-really-that-stern-ness. And squee! to the Dumbledore-love.
I have tried drawing your Remus playing chess with a monkey. There are two half-finished versions, both of which look like complete rubbish. Wish me luck for the third attempt!
Love it, goose. Z.

Really? Wow. That makes me all glowing and gushing and blushing and terrifically happy.
And thank goodness McGonagall actually worked, especially with the biscuits. She is fun to write and she comes pretty easily, so I like her for that almost as much as for her character.
Oh, Dumbledore-love. That amused me, when I thought to put it in. Teeheehee. Maybe they'll be my new ship, she says in a decidedly joking manner. Don't get any ideas, lassie.
Huzzah! for Remus and the monkey. I do wish you luck for the third attempt and I am looking forward to it.
So immensely, immensely happy that you loved it, because it was all for you. :)

P.S. I love your icon (and I've seen about one-and-a-half episodes and I can certainly sense the subtext (slightly feel like screaming at the screen, 'Just kiss him!', but I do not, because that would be weird) ).

Why, thankyou. I made it myself. Ehee. (Someone on the bronskibernstn comm pointed out that Bernstein licks his lips an awful lot whenever he's looking at Bronski. Yeah. Subconscious eh.)
Also, your Remus jacket is love.
