I really really liked this chapter and I also really love your stories they have so much depth and I love that they interlace so well with Rowling's books well done :)
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and think they link well with JKR's. I enjoy writing Marauder, so this one isn;t finished yet. ~Carole~

Oh, goodness, this is just so good except for the fact that I want to bonk Lily over the head on account of slimy, slimy Rich! You've done such a good job with this - I especially love the Martha, Mary, Remus and Sirius dynamics. Very exciting turn of events with Sonia, I can't wait to see what Lily and Peter think :)
Author's Response: OH, thank you so much. I'm glad you like Martha and Mary as they've turned up in another few fics of mine. I'm also rather fond of Sonia even though James is obviously meant to be with Lily - hee hee. OH, don;t write off Rich yet. Slimy but ... I will say no more. Thanks again ~Carole~

Thanks for writing such a marvellous story! You are talented indeed... When I was reading your fic, it felt like J.K had written it...that's the best compliment I can give...Superb! Please write more.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for saying that. I will continue with Lions because it's one of my favourites. Thanks again ~Carole~

Wonderful story! :) All of the characters are incredibly believable, none of them are onesided or cliche. (e.g. Horribly conceited James and Sirius, useless Peter, etc.) I really like your writing style and the way you develop the plot. I love the idea with Sonia! Can't wait until the next chapter. :):)
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy the story because I do love writing it. ~Carole~

it was good. but i had to read last chapters again to remember what was going on! update soon.
Author's Response: Yes, sorry. Unfortunately I have at least three stories to update, plus original fiction which takes precedence and my job. I do try and update as soon as I can, but I know I'm abysmally slow. Thank you for sticking with it. ~Carole~

Chapter: Chapter 19 - Dangerous Detention
Oooh, wonderful chapter! I love the subtle hints that James and Sonia's relationship might begin to fray the friendship between him and Peter -- or Peter and the rest of the Marauders. And let me tell you, it shows just how amazing of a writer you are when you have so many people (including me) who are really liking James and Sonia's romance.
This is my absolute favorite story in the Marauder category -- possibly in the entire realm of fan fiction. Update soon, please :) And good luck with your NaNo -- I would LOVE to read an OF novel by you in the future!
Author's Response: OOOOH, thank you! When I eventually get my OF finished, I shall proclaim it loudly on the boards - ha ha. I'm glad you like Sonia and James. I just don;t think it feasible that James would be pining after Lily for so many years. I think the boy needs a bit of fun.
Mmm, Peter is always there at the back of my mind - evil rat that he is. I will update when humanly possible basically because I love writing it. Thanks again ~Carole~

I've been waiting for the update! Anyways, this chapter's great and I'm interested in how James-Sonia goes. I think Sonia's a great OC. :)
Author's Response: Thank you. Yeah, sorry for the delay. I got sidetracked by some other writing and also real life got in the way. Glad you like Sonia, I think James deserves a bit of fun. ~Carole~

Chapter: Chapter 19 - Dangerous Detention
Oh, such fun! The detention scene was awesome - great way to introduce more tension to the story, and not romantic tension. Poor Sonia - but it was so awesome to see James so heroic!
The tryouts were well done, too. Loved the other characters trying out, especially Fenwick. Once again your detail to the smallest pieces of canon are great.
And I really like the end as well. Like Juggling, you've managed to completely make me forget about James and Lily and just root for him to be happy with another girl. Maybe that's because we know he pined for Lily already, and so why shouldn't he move on? And of course, then Lily will see her mistake. ;)
The only thing is - did Sirius make the team or not??
Nice chapter, thanks for updating!
~Gina :)
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review. You'll find out who makes the team in the next chapter ... but I think you've probably guessed. Carla Fenwick is an OC I've had rattling around my head for a year or so. I actually used her as a girlfriend of Sirius' in 'It Takes A Wolf to Prank a Dog', but this is a different version of her. I shall see where she leads me ... ~Carole~

Chapter: Chapter 18 - Consequences
The girls actually made it to Hogsmeade. But what iis Rich doing in Hogsmeade? What are his motives? Who does he work for? Is he really interested in Lily or trying to get info on the others from her? Lily stepping up to the plate and telling McGonagel what really happened was a very Lily thing to do. Sirius might possibly be a good Quidditch player, but don't think Peter would be much of an asset.
Author's Response: Of course they made it into Hogsmeade. Sometimes they can get lucky! Hmm, Rich ... well I'll keep you guessing a while yet. ~Carole~

Chapter: Chapter 17 -Chaperone
Poor James. Lily is infatuated with the American. And maybe he isn't the bad guy? Sirius uncle apparently likes him, Aberforth apparently likes him. Remus hasn't seen anything that makes him suspicious. And werewolves have good instincts. Snape is on the path to recruiting Peter. Life is not going well for some at Hogwarts.
Author's Response: Do werewolves have good instincts? not so sure about that - especially angsty teenage werewolves. Thanks for the reviews. I'm keeping people guessing on the subject of Rich ~Carole~

Chapter: Chapter 16 - 'Feeble Girls'
Good stuff. James is unhappy because Lily likes the American. Peter is unhappy because no one seems to like him. The DE kids aren't even trying to be subtle anylonger. Good thing Lily was able to do an non-verbal spell. Fabian seems to know the American isn't what he seems to the girls. Sirius definitely knows he's not one of the good guys. At least that's the way it appears. Appearances can be deceiving. Though I don't think the guy in the Forbidden Forest was one of the good guys. Mysterious is fun.
Author's Response: Glad you're still enjoying this. Don't make up your mind about Rich yet though. He might be a good guy. ~Carole~
