Another lovely chapter!

I cannot help but to feel sorry for Snape. But I think he may have known all along that things weren't going to happen - then again, who knows!

Author's Response: Poor Snape! I do feel bad for him - he is eternally being jilted. :(

Another wonderful chapter.

I knew Nora would go off on her own sooner or later. And then when I found out that Snape was going after her, I was curious how things were going to turn out. It was quite a wonderful twist of events! :)

Oh! And before I forget, I wanted to mention the fact that I absolutely loved that you incorporated Snape's memory of Lily. Along made a connection to how his feelings for Nora are similar to Lily's! :)

Author's Response: Ahh yes, the parallels between Lily and Nora are something I really wanted the readers to notice. In my mind, Lily is the only woman Snape can ever truly love. So the way that he regards Nora is somewhat delusional, somewhat rose-colored. He so desperately wants what he felt while being around Lily to come back to him that he's projecting it on Nora. And Nora really doesn't see anyone except for Sirius. Ahh, angst. :)

And you do it again!

Here I was was, saying to myself, "This will be the last chapter I read for a little bit." Do you think I can do that? I can tell you for certain that I cannot! I cannot wait to get to the next chapter, and therefore must cut this review short! So sorry!

Author's Response: I'm pleased as punch that you're finding this fic hard to put down! It really does make my day, I cannot tell you enough.

Another wonderful chapter.

My oh my! In every chapter I become surprised. If I thought the last chapter did it, this chapter surprised me even more! Never in my life did I ever imagine Severus Snape would say something in favor of Sirius Black! Absolutely, positively loved it though! When Snape's with Nora, you see the person he was with Lily, and it's absolutely magnificent. It's wonderful to see the side of Snape no one ever truly got to see. Another wonderful job! :D

Author's Response: In retrospect, Snape's dialogue could use a decent bit of tweaking. I'm not sure if even his friendly interest in Nora could vouch for speaking about Sirius in a matter less than venomous. But I do imagine that he sees Nora as a bit like a substitute for Lily, and when it came to Lily, there was nothing that he wouldn't say or do to try to keep her safe.

Loss ford words! This chapter blew me away!

I definitely wasn't expecting anything like that. When Cargan entered the picture, my mind was wondering what was going on - especially when he began shouting how much he was in love with himself. No doubt it had me laughing. And to learn that it was actually Sirius! My mouth dropped in shock (and I do mean that literally lol). Quite fabulous! :D

Author's Response: Sirius posing as Cargan was one of my favorite things to write in this story. It was so much fun to let Sirius completely let loose and wreak havoc on Cargan's reputation. It was fantastic to have him acting like such an idiot and being so shameless about it.

:D

Another amazing chapter.

The part with Nora's mom got to me a little bit, and I actually began to tear up. I also can't wait to find out more about this Desdemona, which I'm sure I will! :)

Author's Response: Aww, it's amazing to hear that you had a reaction to the bit about Petula. And Desdemona! Yes, you will certainly be hearing more about her. :3

Another wonderful chapter.

I loved the idea of meeting Cargan. I wasn't sure if we were actually going to meet him or not. Definitely glad we did though! Reminds me of McLaggen (I hope that's spelt right) from the "Half-Blood Prince."

Author's Response: Cargan is a bit of McLaggen and a bit of Gilderoy Lockhart. ^ ^ I'm glad you picked up on the inspiration!

Again, another amazing chapter!

I absolutely loved the twist of there being a ball and that Snape asked Nora to it! I cannot wait to see how that pans out.

Author's Response: Balls are a cliche I cannot help but to write. No ball in canon? DOESN'T MATTER, IMMA WRITE ONE ANYWAY. lol. I have such a weakness for them.

Another great chapter!

So much happened even though it was short compared to the rest! Can't wait to find out what happens with the little triangle! :)

Author's Response: Thank you! And it's so odd, that chapter felt so short at the time; but compared to novels I write now, it's normal length. I suppose I got lazy. ^ ^

Another brilliant chapter! :)

Can't wait to get to the next one!

Another wonderful chapter.

Loved the scene during the potions class. Had me chuckling quite a bit! :)

Can't wait to get to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Ahh, the potions fiasco! That was a blast to write. Umbridge is so easy to rile up - Nora simply couldn't resist.

Another brilliant chapter!

I enjoyed the bit with Snape. It was a great detail, and plot that could definitely thicken. I also enjoyed the end when Remus was divulging Mad-Eye's plan. It's an absolute genius idea. I really enjoyed the end when Sirius became so defensive. So great! :)

Author's Response: Thank you! Snape is one of my favorite characters and I loved the opportunity to have a go at writing him. And definitely Remus as well - there's something sobering about Remus that I really like. Watching Sirius interact with both of them is a lot of fun.

Absolutely love this chapter!

I'm really liking Nora. She seems so real, and seems as if she is an actual character J.K. Rowling herself made. I honestly cannot wait to get onto the next chapters. Amazing job!

Author's Response: Oh my goodness, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you SO much!

An amazing introduction to the story! I'm quite intrigued for this story to unfold before me! :)

Author's Response: Thank you for stopping by and reading! This was my first venture into fan fiction and Sirius will always hold a special place in my heart. :)

 Report Review

I am so glad you let Sirius live! At least thus far. I was panicking and crying at the thought of Sirius... thank goodness. You are a wonderful person and author.

Author's Response: I wrote this novel for the sole purpose of making Sirius live. Just like my penname, which means "always padfoot", he will always be the character I am the most attached to in fan fiction. After all he suffered, the poor man deserved a happy ending.

Thank you so much for reading. :) :)

I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved your story. I am a die hard fan of Sirius and I agree 100% with what you said in your Author's Note. Also, you happen to be my favorite author because not only the fact that your story was brilliant but you actually decided to break away from the original story. I love it. Can't wait for more stories from you. :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for such lovely words! I'm very flattered. Your favorite author? Aww, that just makes my day. I definitely did not have the heart to kill Sirius - this entire story was written just so that I could have my own guilty pleasure alternate ending. He deserved one, after having such a hard life.

I could not stop reading this story. I'm so glad that Sirius lived and finally ended up with Nora! I love Nora was able to find peace and love in her life. Brilliantly written!

I have loved every word of this story. It was brilliantly mapped and written and captivated until the very end. It was flawless, really. I'll definitely be looking into more of the stories you've posted.

You, my dear, are a genius. Thanks for an awesome read!

Author's Response: Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words, and for reading and reviewing the whole way through. And thank you for checking out my other stories, too - I'm very honored by this compliment.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tale of Nora Prewett.

Oh, that was a rotten trick you pulled! You had me so worried, what with the chapter name and all.

But oh my gosh, everything turned out alright in the end. The scene where Nora and Sirius finally get together was beautiful. It was friggin' perfect, as a matter of fact.

Author's Response: Ha, the scene where Nora and Sirius gets together kind of makes me wince in retrospect. It could've been written a lot better, but I fear there's not much I can do to improve it. I'm glad you liked it, though. :)

Oh god. I am so scared to read the next chapter. But I have to...

Just when they make up, Death Eaters storm the party! Never a peaceful moment, is there? Ha ha. And what a cliffhanger!

Movin' on to the next. :)

That'll certainly put a damper on things...

Author's Response: Eek. Angst. This is the point in the story where everyone acts like they're thirteen years old.

Oh, wow. Alot of twists and turns in this chapter, but just like all the previous ones, this one was great. So Severus was the one who rescued her and her mother that night. Damn, that's good. And Malfoy took the bait, not Greyback. I wonder how this will all turn out...

You should know by now... I'm hooked! :)

Author's Response: *Severus enters the scene, his black cloak billowing like a superhero cape*

I absolutely love the dynamic between Nora and Tonks. Sheer brilliance! And to top it off, you can play with words better that anyone else.

I'm excited to see how the set-up with Greyback unfolds!

Author's Response: Tonks was one of my favorite characters to write! She seems to be missing from fanfiction, and I loved playing around with the relationship between Nora and Tonks and Sirius and Tonks.

Nora has a brother. Wow. It'll be interesting to see where you go with this.

I've always been a Snape fan, so I'm really glad that you had a chapter devoted to his view. :)

Author's Response: Ee so I checked out my author's page and was like :O because BAM - tons of new reviews. I think you are my new favorite person ever.

Thank you billions for taking the time to read and review my stories. :) :) I hope you continue to enjoy.

And a tidbit of info: This was my favorite chapter to write, because I loved using Snape's pov. :)
