Loved the last line. Great how you explained how the twins knew how to opperate the map. When I read the book I tried to picture them trying a bunch of different spells on it to make it work, but it never quite fit in my mind...
Oooh, I like! The twins are the best heirs of the Marauders, after all, so it is so nice to see Lupin passing the torch...and even getting to play along a bit ;). In defense of JKR, keep in mind that the 'blank parchment' does insult you at random...or at least respond to the person wielding it. So, the twins could have had several, well, conversations with it, always being egged on until they happened to get it right. But I like this version, too!
Bloody brilliant!
Very nice. Poor Remus, always expecting the worst of people.
I rather like your explanation of just how the twins knew what to say to the map. Very Nice!
Nice short novel! Very original; I love the way you explained how the twins got the Marauders' map! As always, excellent work!
What a bittersweet story! I loved it, but I'm sure you've heard it many times before, but it's true. I'm feeling so sorry for Remus...
Very nicely done. It fills in that huge plot hole of how did the twins figure it out very well. Glad to see that Lupin had one happy moment and a good meal. Good on the twins helping him out. :)
Very, very nice. As always. And a great background filler. Thanks!
That was sweet, I liked it very much.
Oooh!! Finally a happy story for Remus that I read!! It was so enlightening... Good one!
This is a great little piece. It fills in a nice plot hole, and it shows the twins in a nice, yet believable way.
I like it!
I always wondered how the twins found how to activate the map... and I like your explanation. (That's what I hate about the books, we can read scenes like this only because Harry is not in them... how much more about the characters we would know otherwise...)
Like I said: I like it, a lot!
Very nice! I have a special soft spot for stories that fill in canon gaps so effortlessly that no one could ever prove it *didn't* happen that way! Well done.
Very sweet, I loved it. I giggled thinking of Snape's reaction if he knew that his missing coffee was in the hands of Remus Lupin. Very well done!
Buttercup, you are awesome...I really really liked this. and ya know...i never totally believed the whole..."we found this blank parchment" how in the hell would they ever come up with "i solemnly swear i'm up to no good"? bah. Excellently played! Thanks!
Sad and angsty, but I enjoyed it just the same! Always wanted to know how the twins came by the Map! :) ~HR
~sniffle~ Tears, goddamnit! Tears!!! ... I must be a sentimental old woman or something. This was incredibly cute and touching. I loved how your Remus isn't an old fuddy-duddy and your twins aren't completely obnoxious. As a matter of fact, I think that this could be one of those scenes that we'd never see in canon, if only because Harry wasn't there. Well done!
This is an amazing story!
