Really enjoy your story centred on Sirius with further depictions of the other Black members, as well as all the others. Hope you'll pick up your quill further on this one!

Really nice touch with Buckbeak, as well as the recollections of Walburga and Regulus. Have to hurry to read the next chapter!

Really feel Sirius' feeling of stagnation and restlessness. Hmmn, Regulus' room being unexpectedly can't be good for his already frayed nerves... Reading on :D

Interesting - Sirius having remorse... being haunted all this time on some level subconsciously about what the reality of his past action against Severus really was.

Nice depiction of Sirius in one of his more vulnerable states; sad, after reading this chapter, as I really realise how he's sort of stuck, after having been incarcerated so long, with how he feels about himself, and been devoid of his past relationships growing beyond what they were in the past, though other's around him have been free to change...

Yeah! A moody, cantankerous Sirius;) - enjoy Andromeda, Ted and his reflections of the Sorting Hat, as well as Remus' & Tonk being together.

Really enjoying Tonks and Sirius; the depiction of Sirius being dependent on others and growing restlessness, wanting to know more, to do something.

Intrigued - really enjoy Sirius' inner-thoughts, flashbacks and memories; also the revelatory relationship between him and Bella... really poignant if they at one time had been very close... reading on!

This is truly wonderful work - just an utterly plausible and very, very moving prose portrait of such an author-abused character. I'm blown away at how much detail and emotion you fit into compact sentences and short pieces of dialogue - incredibly well done! Thank you so much for caring enough about this character to present your readers with a glimpse into both that morning but also Black's headspace. *applauds*

Great chapter! The fair side of me always wanted Sirius to know that Regulus died a hero, not just a coward who couldn't handle what he got himself into. (I hope he finds out in your story...hint hint)
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree, I do think Regulus died for a noble cause, but I don't see how Sirius could find out in this story. :-(

I'll tell you honestly, it's scary how good a portrayal of an alcoholic this is. I hope it's not something you know through personal experience. :( Looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Nope, it's all out of my imagination, though some of Ch. 4 was inspired by drunken emotionals rants I've heard from friends over the years, and probably a few I've given out myself. :-)

I'm sceptical that it went that way with the hat. I don't think Sirius could have been that reluctant to go into Gryffindor; otherwise the hat wouldn't have put him there. Remember that the hat was considering putting Harry in Slytherin, but didn't because Harry so strongly didn't want to go into Slytherin.
Author's Response: You know, I changed my mind on this too, after writing it. There was a comment in the LeakyMug interview that suggested the children were sorting themselves, and I like that idea better. But it was still fun to write the argument with the hat. :D

Good dialogue. "Daylight? You see any daylight in here?" Har har. :D
Author's Response: I somehow don't think daylight ever gets into Grimmauld Place, lol.

This is pretty good so far. You really have Sirius down. I like the childhood details you've filled in. They're entirely believable.
Author's Response: Thanks! Jo said at some point that she'd worked out a lot about Sirius's childhood, so I'm hoping we'll learn more in DH.
