i loved your description of the shrieking shack, it really does not sound as a comforting, cosy, welcoming place and it was never intended to be so, but you just have this way with words that make it come alive in the descriptions, especially seen through sirius's eyes. and i lvoe how he actually loves the place, but it's not because of the place, ti's because of what the shrieking shack means for them, how it helps the marauders help one of their own, help remus, how it gives them the opportunity to keep him company during the full moon and how, ultimately, it makes their friendship so much stronger. sirius's feeling sare so much broader than just the shrieking shack, but it's a good way of displaying it, not fully admitting to all the feelings, maybe not just yet, maybe ever, but it's a place of comfort, even while drafty and i love that.

Hi there!

 

Aww, how sweet. I love the idea of Sirius being able to recognise what Remus is thinking purely by his face and the way he is looking. It shows just how much he really cares for him. I think you did a great job showing that, especially with how short the chapter is, it's got a lovely tone. It feels like it could be quite sad because of the way Remus is feeling and where they are, but it's not. It's hopeful and happy and I really liked it. 

 

I also love your description of the shrieking shack, because I suppose we don't know too much about it but I love how personal to Sirius you make it feel, and I suppose he wouldn't it be a nice place for him, especially compared to what he's used to. At least here he can be with his friends and just be himself. 

 

A lovely little piece!

"...the draft was so bad Sirius refused to go inside unless he was wearing his fur coat."

 

I know this probably isn't the case, but for some reason, I'm imagining Sirius is this luxurous fur coat and the image is making me chuckle so much. But honestly omgawsh...you probably mean his dog form. I'm sorry LOL. I just really wanted you to know that. 

 

I love how you describe each of them and their feelings towards the Shrieking Shack. I love that Peter is such a soft boi bringing blankets for everyone and making sure they're warm. I love how James is like a scaredy cat, but would punch you if you ever suggested it LOL. I love how Remus is unafraid. And how Sirius feels at home. I think all of these thoughts and feelings are very realistic for each of the boys. Your descriptions of what makes each of their transformations so great and makes Sirius feel at home here are just lovely! I think that was my favorite part honestly. 

 

I think you did a really great job with the flow of this piece. We get this omnious mood that the shack represents, but we also get this warm, cosy feeling because of the characters and how you write them all together. Great one-shot!

Hey Dottie, I’m here for the Fairyland review event! 

 

I love the dive straight into description, it really gives you a feel of misery which is very Shrieking Shack. I also love the contrast to Hogwarts; they couldn’t be further apart!

 

I love the mixture of anguish and comfort, the horrible things and the good things, it really tells you that they are all there to support Remus, so they’d choose to spend the night here. Sirius concentrating on Remus’ smile the following morning says it all.

 

Oh those last few paragraphs were lovely! Sirius trying to cheer Remus up who’s busy stewing in dark thoughts. His being a dog and able to act as such with a bit of human silliness was beautiful – and it worked! 

 

I loved this insight into the Marauders during one of the full moons. It was fantastic!
