AUGH! Why must you write a fantastic chapter that leaves my jaw on the ground and then END IT LIKE THIS???? Good god woman! And the traitor? My god, incredible, I love it.

I can't wait for another chapter! This was just wonderful!

rev02a July 15 2008, 15:52:29 UTC

What do you think of my traitor? Huh? Huh? And Peter? How do you feel about him?

(Glad you liked it!)

moonypads July 15 2008, 16:43:09 UTC

Your traitor is fantastic! I'm guessing its Dumbledore based on one of Sirius' visions and I am thrilled! I don't know if I've ever read a fic where he's a traitor! Love it!

And Peter grrrrrr! I hope he gets whats coming to him! But you characterize him really well!

rev02a July 15 2008, 17:45:00 UTC

I really like Peter... he's such a strange, awful person, but he had to have been a good guy at some point to be friends with such great people. As for Dumbles... well... we'll see more of him soon. :)

HEY IT WILL LET ME REPLY NOW :D

I read this last night and then suddenly lj blew up and I, possessing a five second memory span, forgot this existed until I happened across it on my flist today.

I think my initial response was something to the effect of HOW COULD YOU END THE CHAPTER THERE, YOU HORRIBLE PERSON!?!?!?! I think. I'm not quite sure though.

rev02a July 15 2008, 17:43:46 UTC

I have more written... but I didn't want to go too long without updating again... so I just did a cliffhanger.

I was trying to fix some other mistakes after I'd posted when LJ exploded, so I totally understand!

Thank you for sticking it out with this one!

vwl July 16 2008, 05:37:16 UTC

I guess I can forgive you...THIS TIME.

It amuses me that every time you post on a Tuesday, you pretty much always make the Editor's Choice on remus_news...since I'm the Tuesday editor. Heh.

rev02a July 16 2008, 11:14:59 UTC

LOL Hey I didn't know that. But... wow, I'm really touched... thank you.

That would be coffee ADDICT... brighty18 July 15 2008, 22:43:56 UTC

Ooooh! I love what you did in the beginning to frame it all in. That scene worked well and it was cool how you were able to pick it up again in the bathroom scene later. Poor Sirius! How awful for him to have it all suddenly become real! My only qualm was outcasted but, hey, whatever.

And I adore the bits you added between Sirius and Remus after Sirius and Wormtail return. That bathroom scene was very touching and I liked the way you dealt with Sirius' explanation.

Another small pick (which, I suppose, I can get away with because of my relatively glorified status as your beta): with an assertively.

Also "Not Moo" works perfectly now as does Lily at the end. I really love your Lily, you know.

Re: That would be coffee ADDICT... rev02a July 16 2008, 01:48:18 UTC

You know I saw both of those last night but LJ died before it would let me fix them... BUT, I'm totally on it... NOW.

As for your addiction... it's a shame, really, wasting such perfectly good taste buds on such vile stuff. :)

Thanks for your help, you really are what I gauge reactions on...

Re: That would be coffee ADDICT... brighty18 July 16 2008, 02:26:34 UTC

Ironically, I may have helped kill LJ. Rumor has it that the overactivity on livelongnmarry was, at least, partially responsible.

And coffee = bliss.

Re: That would be coffee ADDICT... rev02a July 16 2008, 03:40:09 UTC

Aww... you cute little do-gooders, killing LJ in the name of love. I'm proud.

As for coffee... pish. Tea, baby. I can't live without the stuff.

YOU! YOU! *points frantically at the spy*

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Of course, I accused everyone in canon at one point or the other, BUT I CAUGHT THE FORESHADOWING!!!

YOU BRAVE WRITER YOU! Oh, this takes me back to GoF and the "glint" in
Dumbledore's eye when he found that Voldie had Harry's blood in him, and I wondered for a SPLIT SECOND where dumble's loyalties truly lie...

AND YOU RAN WITH IT!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

FUCK this has so been worth it :DDDDDDD

rev02a July 16 2008, 11:27:01 UTC

I hate Dumbledore with a passion that is bordering on insanity. Who in their right mind would craft a child into a war tool without ever telling him that is what is happening? Who would purposefully take that child and put them into a situation that is harmful to their psyche because it's easier? I mean, I know people have explored the Remus-can't-raise-Harry scenario a lot, and yes, I realize that Remus was more than a little screwed up after Halloween, but YOU KNOW that Lupin had to fight for his friend's son. I mean... SERIOUSLY. Ohhhhhh Dumbledore makes me so mad. I hate OoTP when Sirius and Remus are trying to tell Harry what's going on but they can only say so much and you can just see that they want to fess up... because they actually love him. BUT DUMBLEDORE!? Nope. Harry is just a tool ( ... )

bobthemole July 16 2008, 12:57:46 UTC

Hee! If I didn't already know you're a high school teacher, this would have told me :D

Yeah, srsly, D got away with some serious shit. I spent the first several books wondering why there wasn't a better support system for Hogwarts students, like Harry could sooo have used a talk from an adult when he was being shunned as the Heir of Slytherin. But the adults were there, just inaccessible. What kind of headmaster locks himself in a password protected office with no way for a student to contact him without going through a professor. Sure, McG was there, but Harry never bonded with her and D could have saved so much trouble by telling Harry to go to her if he needed to talk.

The Saviour of British Wizardkind deserved that much, at least.

rev02a July 16 2008, 15:21:51 UTC

As the high school English teacher I will tell you, in the genre of young adult fiction (and Jo can argue that she wrote for more than just kids all she wants, but she totally played into YA lit rules), the main characters must be somehow excluded from adults so that they can pick apart their own destiny. And part of me says that and then the other part of me scrutinizes just like you. Yes, Dumbles and McGoogly and Hadgrid are all there... but honestly, the only one of those that Harry would ever dream of approaching for help is Hadgrid and he really isn't a mature adult. I guess you could almost argue the same for Sirius with his temper tantrums and that would explain why Harry trusts him... but that's bull. Remus is there as a professor and Harry goes to him or help and actually talks to him ( ... )

Miss B:
I love editing your fic
It is very good
I hate accounting so much

There is a haiku just for you.

rev02a July 16 2008, 11:20:54 UTC

Awww... you haikued! Why are you up at this hour? I'm up because the dog had to go out and now won't go back to bed. BUT you, Miss Overworked Because I'm Damn Good at My Job, should be in bed... (Thanks, by the way... for the editing. I'm sorry the new job makes you want to take spoons to your eyesockets.)
