I know you wrote ths ages ago , i still wanted to tell you how gret it was. I really like the characters and the plot was excellent. The only flaw at all i saw was the pot. I thought it made Hermione and Sirius seem weak and immature. Adults dont need to get high everytime they are upset- tgats how high schoolers deal with their problem (at least in my experience). Really though thats a tiny flaw :-)
Some of the jokes in the story went over my head. I am not sure if I just didn't get them, or if the information leading up to them wasn't clear. I'd recommend getting someone else to read your story, if you have the option. Sometimes as an author, we already know what is happening in the story, so we don't realize that it isn't completely clear. I hope that is helpful.
I look forward to reading more of your work.
Other than the odd typo here and there, it was a very intriguing tale. Thank you for sharing and happy writing!
i caught the highlights of US v. UK and saw a bit of argentina but the sound was off. The kiddo likes Irish Hurling, Soccer (football) and basketball because there's a lot of constant action. Football and baseball are boring because there's a lot of standing around and constant commercials. WE're toying with the idea of fall soccer b/c it starts at 3 and she'll be old enough by the skin of her tiny teeth. It's either that or dancing, but i think the soccer would wear her out more and make a happy mommy out of me by 8pm. I am happy south africa got to host the series, because it's a great honor and treat, but you couldn't pay me to visit a place without potable water and easily accessable flushing toilets, and I don't say this lightly. Half my family is from Thailand and another branch (smaller but still significant in numbers) is from Peru and there's not a lot of plumbing to be found, muchless potable water in either places. I think everyone should be blessed with massive amounts of clean drinking water and flushing toilets. There are many lovely organizations and charities that seek to provide potable water and water filters to poor people all over the world, and i'm happy to donate money to them.
oh and i'm glad sirius finally got his rock off without busting a nut. (I love fanfiction, i can cuss ans talk trashy without worry of it being repeated in a stage whisper in public).
Thanks for the update and have fun watching men run around after a ball. You know, I will say this, do those men really need all those those clothes on? They played sports naked in ancient greece, and i surely wouldn't mid watching those men play naked.
Just a thought. Perhaps a petition is in order?

you must REALLY want to watch the world cup if you posted in such a rush! Well, not that I mind, as I got to read more....
some of the stations near me are playing the games again at a more reasonable hour, because let's face it, i'm not getting up in the middle of the night to watch it.
i look forward to reading your next story,
jillian
p.s. i really like the last chapter, how hemrione got her say.
I love the fact that it took two weeks before Harry and Ginny dragged the Stupid Trio to see Hermione, and the fact that she and Sirius had already cemented their relationship without telling anyone. That was fantastic.
Anyway, I have the feeling that we will not be seeing anything new until the Cup is over, so I'll just say this. Write something again soon, something different, something new, something not done yet. I challenge you to write something no one else has thought of. I love reading all these stories, and I have read hundreds of them. I am looking for something new to catch my eye, and I think you can do that.......I am relying on your imagination to do this.........
