Only finished the first part so far but am absolutely LOVING it!

Will comment more at the end of the story since I can't wait any longer to get to part two.

Now that I got the whole "which window was which" thing sorted out (I may have commented on these backwards at first), I can comment on Part One and how much I loved it. You've very cleverly built the theme of thinking v. saying and putting one's foot in one's mouth, have you not?

I love Sirius' wit here, too: At the very least, you should consider dating someone with better grammar and penmanship, because that poem McGillicutty wrote on the wall of the fourth floor boy's toilet?" Sirius shook his head and sighed. "If one could go so far as to call it poetry. Well, I suppose 'arse' and 'farce' do rhyme, but 'bountiful' and 'mouthful'? That's pretty questionable even if he had spelt them correctly." LOL.

And even the "crude humor" (which, don't get me wrong, I adore) was genius: Padfoot growled softly, farted again, and Remus smacked him on the nose and jumped out of bed. "Sometimes I really hate you, you smelly bastard." Dogs DO have nast farts, I should know.

Since I knew where the story was going, I had to establish Remus' snarky, contradictory, little inner voice right from the start. This was actually the part I worried most about because I didn't want it to seem like overkill.

Dogs, especially bigger dogs, can be horribly smelly. I admit, I snickered to myself when I was writing that bit, because dog farts are atrocious! Hee!

Oh, I love your MWPP rolicking adventurey stories, and this one is wonderful so far. Characterizations are wonderful and LOVE your Remus. So, so fun. YAY! More to read now. ♥

That poem sounds very much like something you would write. :) (hmm, I guess you did...perhaps I'm too invested)
