i enjoyed sharing in your vision of little-boy-remus dealing with his difficult situation. makes it clear how much it meant to him to get to go to hogwarts, and also kind of explains why he wasn't able to be more assertive with his friends when he knew they were doing something wrong - i.e., he didn't participate in their bullying, but didn't call them on it, either. a nice peak into his background and psyche.

Author's Response: Thank you. I was struck by his line is POA 'For the first time in my life I had friends.' and wanted to explore why he had no friends until he was 11 and how thant affected him.

Wow, I love the way you write! You managed to capture the emotions of both Remus and his parents so well. I really felt for Remus and was so happy when he got to attend Hogwarts. You get my first 10/10!

Author's Response: 10/10 - thank you! This is only my 2nd fanfic. I feel for Lupin so much as I am disabled too. A lot of his and his parents' dialogue has basis in my own life. The story comes from a really sad line of Lupin's from POA 'For the first time in my life I had friends.' He was 11 before he had any friends, that's so sad I needed to explore how it affected him.

Good job! I'd read stories about how Lupin was bitten, but this is the first I've read about him dealing with it in his childhood, and how important that letter was. I wasn't aware that he was half-Muggle, but it makes sense, as he's never described as full-blood, and he tells why he was bitten, so he'd have some wizarding parent. And being part Muggle, he'd be living in part in a Muggle world. Too bad, though, that it seems he didn't get to play much with the neighbors; it's sort of like no matter where you go in the world, there's a Dudley.

Author's Response: Thanks, glad you liked it. I identify with him and how he copes as I'm disabled. HP lexicon says he had one Muggle parent or grandparent. I chose to make it his mum as his dad had offended Greyback, it would therefore be easier for them to live in the Muggle world as she couldn't use magic to work or run the house.
