Hello readers!
You don't need to read this if you don't want, as it's just an authors note.
I felt like explaining some of the chapters in the story, since this one is a particular favorite of mine. I really enjoyed looking at the varying personalities of the Marauders.
In James', I wanted to get across the fact that he loves her more than anything. Without being too mushy, and with a hint of fun, because of course, James is a lotta love and a lotta laughs. –swoons-
Ahem.
Sirius' is probably my favorite one; I really like the idea of him and Lily being close friends, and having them help and understand each other. A really strong brother/sister bond. I really feel that Lily would understand how he feels about his family, since she feels the same about Petunia, kind of. Anyway, I really like this one. It also shows Sirius' lightheartedness and his loyalty and love for his friends. Which is something I really love about our Padfoot. D
Remus' is definitely the saddest. I do imagine him falling in love with Lily for a time, since she seemed to be the only one (apart from his friends) who understood him and loved him (as a friend on her part) for just who he was. Ya know? And because Lily is extremely loveable, no? But yeah. I hoped to capture Remus' loyalty, sadness and yet happiness for Lily and James. He's such a sweetheart and I wanted to show that.
Peter's is...interesting. I did not want to make him a stammering idiot, because, well, everyone does that. I mean do you really think the Marauders would have put up with him for 7 years if he was just an idiot? Nah, didn't think so. So I made him a bit stronger of character, though he's still an idiot for trying to hate Lily. But that's how I see it happening. This is about when he decides to join the Death Eaters. I really love the last two lines of his part too- it just...came in a moment of inspiration. His POV seems to have the most...deeper meaning to it, if you get what I mean.
Anyway, if you read all this crap- thank you!
And please, review! I love feedback, criticism, praise, general comments, anything! These reviews really make my day. Thank you everyone!
Much love,
Artemis
