Thank you for writing this fab story. Had to finish in one sitting. Bookmarked so I can find it again.

This was a really good story. Well written and, to be honest, a little short. But that's how I always feel about really good short stories. I always felt that Remus wasn't given enough "face time" in the books and in the films. It's really nice to read a story with him as the "centre piece" as it were. The story manages to mix the workings of the magical world with basic common sense, coming from Lupin. I don't want to write too much for fear of spoiling it for others, so all I'll say is read it, you will enjoy it.

This is a great story. I love the difference that meeting the werewolves at the lodge has made to everyone including the weres. Very well done. It was wonderful How everything worked out. Harry and Neville had two parents that loved them and Alice and Remus and Sirius found new loves and they all had new extended family to back them up when needed. Thanks for a different story with a happy ending. I love all your stories. pms

Thanks for your kind words.   Yes, I enjoyed writing this story.

Fascinating expansion of cannon :)

Kokopelli replied:

Not exactly an expansion.   Years ago when I wrote more fanfic, I tried to be extremely close to canon.   Now, not so much.

I can imagine Remus using PP blood to make a leather mouse (The Voodoo comment!) with catnip and gving it to Mrs Norris or meowGonagal for Yule! In Akhaban or not! It would be too dangerous for young wolves to paly with!

Off takes with a confrontation between AD and Aunty daisy would be fun! there is no way he would touch the BWL or the spare NL.

I can also imagine the chaos when the two boys are outside on the full moon playing with the wolves in total safety as they are Remus' cubs!

Great ideas for stories - why don't you write them?

very nice story i loved it

though i think i read a story with arry raised by a werewolfpack that could transform at will because they were in snych with their animal side (and had a reasonable and nice fenrir greyback)

and i guess that all the children are very eager to learn how to be animagi that are slightly dissapointed if they arent wolves ;D

Excellent!!! I enjoyed your story and your original characters. Your thoery on werewolf transformation was great. I also enjoyed much of the background such as places and islands and such. I looked up many things and locations. I find that a plus.

Thank you for sharing your time, talents and imagination with us readers.

Kokopelli replied:

Such a thoughtful review - thanks.  Certain things I find hard - like character names.  I try to make the geography and the backgrounds work.  I'd have a hard time creating a 100% new universe, because I'd have to make maps and create histories - too much like work if you ask me.  I'm glad you enjoyed the story - it was fun to write.  Certain things (like Daisy) just tended to take off in a direction all their own.

Heck of a good story! Thank you for writing it. I know this site isnt as well trafficked as it once was, and I missed it. Keep it up!

It's been a while since I last journeyed into the storied landscape of Kokopelli's mind. I'm glad I did. There's less and less HP fan fiction to read these days and good writing has almost dried up. Thanks for the oasis.

Kokopelli replied:

Thanks for the kind words.  There's a few bright spots, and then there's the frustratingly incomplete stories.  One reason I try to write shorter pieces these days is so that I can reasonably be sure to finish it before life interferes.

ooohhhh like the probable end, brilliant thanks, up for more if you get inspired thanks

Kokopelli replied:

It's awfully tempting to write some one-shots with Daisy.

Thank you for sharing a delightful story, much improved by the logical thinking of the Marauders instead of the evil of Dumbledore.

Your version of Alice is delightful in her practicality and kindness, the subtle way that you sketched out and colored in the her character is a skillful bit of writing.

Daisy is a pure wonder, Galatea at her very best.

Warmest regards

Kokopelli replied:

One of the big challenges for any fan fic writer in the HP lane is how to portray Dumbledore.  Is he incompetent?  Is he manipulative and evil? JKR definately writes like he's a good guy, but there's a lot of death and destruction in his wake.  Alice is, of course, a blank slate, but I tried to do justice to her character, with Mom winning out in the end.  Daisy?  I had no idea that Daisy would grow as a character when I first wrote her into a scene, but she's a good fit with the story arc, so away she went.

A well written 'nice' story that was an enjoyable read. I'm just sorry to see it finish as it was a pleasant change to all the action and intrigue that gets circulated.

Kokopelli replied:

Thanks - if you thought it was nice and enjoyable to read, then I succeeded.

Wait a minute, twin sons? Isn't Neville a brown haired fatass and Harry a black haired starvling? Lets not go too far in this. It would be more intesting to see a composite family trying to get along,

Kokopelli replied:

Go back and read the paragraph again.  She's raising two boys, whose birthdays are a day apart. She's essentially raising them as brothers, which makes them fraternal twins.  This Harry didn't spend 10 years being starved at the Dursleys, he instead spent less than a year with relatives that didn't like him much, so he's not the runt that canon Harry is.

Cool story. Dumbledore must be ticked that in stead of a short 7 years to kill Voldemort it'll take longer and less people die this way.

Kokopelli replied:

Dumbledore gets out-maneuvered and loses a lot of control, which is probably good for all involved.

what an amazing journey, thanks for the ride kokopelli. (shipper in me is absolutely DEVASTATED that julia didn't win the remus sweepstakes, though.)

Kokopelli replied:

Oh, puh-leeze, I've had enough static from shippers over the years.  Julia admires Remus, and at one time might have had a teeny-tiny crush on him, but she realizes that Remus is on a different trajectory.

Interesting wrap up of the story...a good end without being all JKRappy. The omake is humourous and you know who wears that pants in that family.
