| *huggles Sirius* I knew it must have been horrible, being stuck in that awful house, but I never felt it like this before. Your writing really brings it home. |

This is a perceptive look inside Sirius's mind as he lives inside his mouldering family home. There's no mention of Kreacher, but I suppose that's in character, given how little Sirius thinks of him. I loved the way you repeated "trapped" and "loyalty", like he was clinging onto the words.
Chilling.

| Wow. A very powerful, in-canon look at the way Sirius' mind works (at least in my opinion). Great job! |

| Wow. I love your style of writing, everything flows so well, it's so poetic. You can feel the deep streams of emotion running between the lines. Poor Sirius.. |

I read this story somewhere else, and I wrote a review, but I really wanted to find the author.I searched everywhere but here it was along , right underneath my nose. Anyway this story is just ... beautiful. It illustrates Sirius's emotions with vibrant and raw colors.His character corresponds directly with how he is in Ootp. And I have to admit this was the very first fanfiction to make me cry, and I didn't even cry when he died in the 5th book (well you could say I was beyond tears)
Great job!! |

| Wow...this was beautiful. The ending was so sad, and the last two lines just struck my heart... |

"Loyalty. I'm still trying to prove it. I've come back here, haven't I?
Loyalty has never been free of cost. I know that only too well."
This is a great one-shot, I love it. Instead of going event by event, it's just thoughts of Sirius, and I love how you look at everything that went on in that house with such great insight- Regulus trying to live up to their expectations, Sirius not trying. But in the end what makes this fic great is how you portray Sirius beyond anything else- loyal, even if it kills him. |

That was *terrible*. It was heart-rending, it was depressing, and it was something I really don't think I needed to read on Valentine's Day. I can't believe you wrote something like that. It actually made me *whine* in pity for Sirius.
I enjoyed this. A lot. You made a wonderful decision in deciding to share this fic with us. The language was beautiful and very evocative. I rarely ever feel really emotionally involved in what I read, but when I read these lines you just pulled me right in:
"Six days that were truly great out of thirty-six years.
Until I came back to this house, I never questioned whether they were enough."
Thank you for that experience. |

Amazing. How simply amazing. I love the way you reuse:
"They say you can never go home again.
How I wish they had been right."
The very simplicty of those lines is what makes them so powerful. This entire story is powerful, simple. Very good. I can't wait to read more from you. |
