Thank you for your compliments - they matter to me. Lots.
Be back tomorrow with commentary on Sirius ...

I read a lot of Marauder fic, and this is one of the best lines I've read expressing the intensity of the Hat's decision:
“How’s it feel not to be in Slytherin, then?” Potter’s tone was conversational, as if his words hadn’t just sent hundreds of years of Black family tradition spinning into dust.Sirius reacts like an eleven year old boy who knows that's an understatement but he doesn't have the proper words to reply appropriately, anyway. So he picks a mild declaration of independence, something that may enthuse Potter in return ( ... )

Sorry, that blather was probably longer than the drabble, heh. But anyway, I was a little worried as to whether this would work for you as an attitude for Sirius to have, so I'm relieved to hear it's okay!
And Remus, lol, little Remus is always my favorite
LOL. I had to slip him in there, of course!
Got another joke? Not yet. But I have a three-hour exam to proctor tomorrow during which I can ( ... )

The whole thing gave me that sense of when you go off to college and start serrendipitously meeting those who will become best friends: You act casual, though you're really quite excited. ; ) And I do appreciate how you can write half a sentence about Remus and it feels spot on.
I've been meaning to leave a review for your first chapter of All Will be in Order, which I found delightful the other day.

And thanks for the kind words about Order, too. :)

I hope you can write more soon.
Same ole Sirius, just the way we love him. And of course every ones favorite werewolf too.:)

And, of course, I love Remus, looking on and wanting to be part of it all and them. See, just half a sentence, and I want to hug your Remus as usual. ;)

Thanks for the feedback on the voice. It was fun trying to imagine how a pre-Hogwarts Sirius would likely view the world. I've always kind of wanted to write a Marauders'-first-day fic, not that that's been overdone or anything. ;)

Very nice short-story. I love the Marauders, especially Sirius.
But, I'm also a big fan of Remus as well.
Who am I kidding? I love them both. And you captured their personalities very well here.
Can't wait to read more.
When are you planning on getting up some new stuff? I looked on your story-stash and you don't have anything new up since January 10th. Take your time if you must, I don't mean to sound impatient, but I do enjoy your stories!:)

Thanks for the encouragement, also. I'm happy to hear you're looking forward to more stories! I've been very busy with my job lately (not to mention recovering from the holidays), and reading/reviewing all the great new stories posted at metamorfic_moon, so there hasn't been much time for writing. I'm working on the next chapter of "All Will Be In Order" and a Remus/Tonks story. I'll probably have one of them finished by the end of the month...I hope.
