| This is really well-written, with an intriguing idea. I refuse to believe that Remus ever actually hurt anyone, though. But you've done a great job, all the same. |

| Poor Remus, that must have been so difficult to watch. I've never liked Umbridge but your story gave her some humanity which I never thought possible! Great story! |

| Great story. I kinda saw it coming but that's ok. I loved the part where you switch to POV from Umbridge's memory to Lupin's. S. |

| Wow. This was really powerful. Poor Remus, I felt so sorry for him when he realized that it was him. I can't believe Umbridge would think of using truth serum on him like that. Wow. |

| Wow. At first this kind of bugged me because I find Dolores an anything but sympathetic character. But what an interesting twist you added, making Lupin the cause of all he and the other werewolves have had to suffer, even if he wasn't in control of himself at the time. A very good read! |

Aargh. Poor Remus, and poor Dolores. This was an experience
neither of them should've had. I feel sad that you put this on
Remus' shoulders, though. Having him recognise Fenrir Greyback
would have been so much better. And it doesn't change the fact
that Umbridge is the worse beast, after all, her beastly actions are
planned and willed. It's well written, though.
Thanks!

Hello, and thank you for your review.
Yes, I too think now that the reference to Fenrir would've been of even more effect for the fic. However, when I wrote it HBP wasn't yet published, so I really knew nothing about who bit Remus. I couldn't read Jo's mind ;)
However, even if indeed it's a stone maybe too heavy on Remus' back, I think it still works, even after HBP.
Thank you for your nice words!

Amazingly well constructed and executed tale. I felt for Dolores Umbridge - unimaginable.
(Actually, I felt more for her dog, but I did feel for her.)
A fine story that can go on or stay right there in the ether unanswered. |

LOL... yes, poor Sorrow. I too love that dog :)
Thank you for your comment!

That was... chilling. Are you planning a sequel? I'd love to see how Remus deals with the guilt, and what Umbridge plans to do.

Thank you for your review!
I had thought about adding a sequel to the story, but then, I chose not to. I prefer to leave the future to the reader :)

Hm... interesting. This was a very original story, and Unbridge's POV was quite good, especially with the 'maternal tone'... haha. At any rate, this was good... though I rather wish it would have been the same werewolf that bit Lupin, rather than Lupin himself. First, that knowledge would have thrown Unbridge for a loop *smirk*... and second... does Lupin really need more angst?
Great job! |

does Lupin really need more angst?
Thank you for the wonderful review. Well no, I don't think
Remus really needs more angst. But I can't help. I wanted to write the
story as if Remus found out that a werewolf had killed Dolores' mum and
stop, but as I wrote, Remus decided to be the werewolf, and the bit
where he realises that had written itself too powerfully to scratch it
down. I'm afraid Remus himself decided that, I'm not guilty

| This was very good! Are you going to continue it at all? It felt right when Lupin could not continue watching. Excellent work! |

| Thank you very much for the lovely review, and sorry for my late
answer. I'm happy you liked my fic so much and that you felt it *right*
at that moment. It just wrote itself like that. My idea for the story
was a bit different, but seems that Lupin himself wants to have more
angst even if you don't plan it for him.

Whoa. Crazy What-If here. I liked it a lot, and I think that it makes a very good reason as to why Umb ch is so paranoid about part-humans. The Pensieve was very odd, edged in lace and made of crystal like the figurines on the sideboard. What a silly thing to hold your memories in, Remus mused. This is exactly the kind of Pensieve she would have, isn't it?
Poor Remus! |

Thank you very much for the review, and sorry for the late in which i'm
replying to it! I recently moved to England, just after having posted
this story up, and I needed some time to find a job, a house, and
settle in. However, now I'm well and I can write again , so i can also answer to your reviews.
yes, I thought that the pensieve done in such way was exactly as she
would have chosen it. You know, some reviewers elsewhere said that it
made them realise that a pensieve can be made in a way that fits the
owner's tastes, because they had always thouht the pensieves were
exactly like that of Dumbledore and Snape. But I think the pensieve can
have any shape, it's the content, and probably the spell that binds it,
that is important.
