Great chapters, Tara! I loved them. It's really funny, that she has to stay over at Potter's this summer. This part I loved the most:



It was really funny Can't wait for the next chapter!

Hugs, Caoo

Yeay! I have finally found a Lily/James fanfic! I loved this sooooo much! I was hooked from the beginning!The description was perfect and I really felt Lily's anger towards James but maybe she should lighten up
I loved the comedy too! Like when Lily said to Emma "I think he likes you" and Emma said "Who?" Then Lily replied "Santa Claus" PAHAHAHAHA Then when she refered to Vernon as a elephant! Classic Couldnt help but laugh!
I can't wait to see how Lily's holiday pans out. And you have captured all the characters perfectly!

Keep it up
Rachel Snape

'oh, no, lily, come on! james is nice!'
lol i hope she gives him a chance! and i really hope she's nice, and doesn't embarrass herself, uh!
well, anyways, i love your story! lily and james are so cute and you describe them all really well, you write very good! and it's a fun story too!
it will be hilarious to see lily and james change over the summer! ...
keep up the good work!

-kathy

Haha, that chapter was A LOT of fun What I loved the most, was:

Lily went downstairs to the living room where her mom was sitting on the couch. Lily walked and cuddled up to her. "I love you mommy," she said sweetly.

"I love you too, Lily, but you're still going to the Potter's."

Lily knew it was time to give up; when cuddling up to her mom didn't work, it meant her mind was made up.


That was hilarous please keep the good work up, mate!

Hugs, Caoo

Awwww....That's so cute! i love the fanfic...
its so good that Lily will have someone to talk to. i really like that lily ended up having james carry her bag! And wow...who would have thought james house would be so nice?
Update soon!

Beautifully written
So much humour and you have really captured the characters! I loved it when you wrote about Lily trying to win her mother over by cuddling up to her and telling her that she loved her but her mother had her mind set on Lily still going to the Potters. I wonder what is going to happen now that the other marauders are there too. Maybe something will happen with Lily and Remus ahahah. Oh this story is so exciting. Please update more soon.

Rachel Snape

ooo...i love it so much! please keep posting soon! the story is really cool! and you wrote it very good. just one question, why does sirius live there too? well keep up the great work.
-Lisa

Woow, what a great chapter! Remus is so cute I like that he likes Emma.. it'll be great if they start dating. At it seems like Lily won't have such a bad time after all

And, Summergirl, Sirius lives there because he didn't like his home. You know, we read about it in OotP.. his mother was terrible to him, seeing he ended up in Gryffindor. So he lived at James' place.

Please update soon, Tara, I'd love to read more

Hugs, Caoo

Thanks Caoo,
i remember that now...i guess i should probably reread that book. it makes much more sence now.
Tara, you are doing such a great job with this fic. i hope remus and emma get together...and lily and james!
-Lisa

Love it Love it Love it!! I really want to go to the Potters house now it sound like my kind of place. I think that the fountain will be where Lily and James have their first kiss and Remus will manage to find the courage to ask out Lily's friend Emma. Oh its all so cute with all these little pairings. Wil there be any love for Peter Pettigrew ahahaahah Hopefully not.

wow! great! i so love it!
lily at least doesn't still act like shrieking 'potter is a jerk' lol well, she can't actually!
i really like it... james' home has to be really beautiful!
ohhh! *jumps.up.and.down* i'm so excited! keep on writing! i want to know what's going on!

Hey! How's it going! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Homework is killing me! lol!
anyway, I love the new chapter! A waterfall! wow, I didn't think they were that rich! I love how James offered to give her a tour! he's soo sweet, and the whole 'ill mom' thing, good thinking! Remus is so cute! anyway, I loved the chapter and can't wait for more!
bye
Skye

oh gosh! he told her? just like that?! woah!

well, anyways, loved it! you write so wonderful and *sighs* stupid lily! sorry, i like her and all, but now she's being reallyt oo stubborn! gosh! why can't she just grow up?! he saved her life!

oh, well, great chapter, good work!

Well, maybe Lily will act better now she knows about Remus. She really shouldn't be mad at James! He saved her life! She should have been grateful, she really should have been. Poor James.. it must have been terrible for him. If I had been him, I wouldn't have liked Lily anymore. He deserves better!

I am recently getting into Lily/James ships. I never really found them interesting. Now I think I seem to like them more then Harry/Ginny fanfics, even though Im writing one myself. Anyway, this was written wonderfully. I can tell that you have a knack for writing. I can't wait to see if she confronts James =O! Keep posting, im desperatley waiting.

Amanda

Yay! Summer Rain has been updated! I like how you changed this version so that the animagus's are in it. It's really good! *sigh*. Lily has to be so mean. I mean, come on, James saves her life and she ends up getting mad at him. Bad Lily

Anyways great work!

I love it! Great work can't wait for the next chapter!!! That’s so cool I hope Remus asks Emma out that'd be so cute! The three (Lily/James Sirius/Cassis and Remus/Emma) on doing a quadruple (sp?) date! Oh that'd be good! Anyways I love the fact that Remus tells her that’s hes a werewolf and defends James, that's so sweet. Thou Lily acting like she did was a little jerky, but I probably would have done the same .

Loving it, write more please don't leave us in suspense

Hey!
i haven't reviewed in a while...the new chapters are so good! i love this fic so much!! you deff. need to keep writing. i find it had to believe that james and remus told her about the animagus stuff just like that but after all this is fanfiction!!! im so excited for the next chapters. keep posting!! and i love how you described james' house!!
Lisa

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please post more soon!!!!!! I love J/L fics. keep it up!!!

Great that you posted the rest of the chapter I liked it. Remus is a really good guy, he tells Lily all about it so that she'll like James better. That's what I call true friendship! Please keep it going, this is great.

hi hi hi
yes, i love that!
james is a good guy, and she just has to see that... and accept it!
well, i think she'll consider it -now that he told her that, and talked to her like that about james... so she sees that he also thinks she should changer her mind!
yeahh!
good work! -like always...

wooooo hoooooooo!!!!!!!
lovely chapter james is soooo damn cute
i can hardly wait for 6the next one
keep it up

love
aish

He Told her! Omgosh! I can't believe he would just come out and tell her like that ! wow! I wonder what lily is going to say to James, if anything! I think she should at least say sorry ! I mean he did save her when she was about to be dead ! Hopefully she'll act better toward James now that she know about Remus ! I really hope so! Will I can't wait for more, oh and great,great,great chapter !
Bye
Skye

Wow i bet Lily was totally shocked to find out that the perfect Remus Lupin is a werewolf! I bet she feels really guilty now that she yelled at James. I know i definatley would. I bet she'll be nice to him now. Please update soon! Great job!

You, girl, have got talent! It's spectacular so far! I love how all the characters keep the personalities that Rowling gave them, even with a different writer. Lily is so Lily-ish, James is so James-ish, and everyone is just so... everyone-ish! I think you get my point. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next installment!

Yay! New post.

I feel so bad for James! Stupid Lily...little does she know they'll end up married . lol. You're a great writer, I am sure you here that lot. Your use of description and dialouge are perfect. Keep writing I cant wait for more!

Haha, I really liked the end! "Okay, what happened?" LOL! I wonder how they'll explain it. But Lily is acting really childish.. though I understand her. It's terrible to admit one is wrong Great chapter, I liked their argument. Can't wait for the next chapter Well done!

hey,
this is probably my favorite fanfic! i love it and get so excited when you post again! i love how you're building up the tention between lily and james still. but Lily is just determined not to like james. but james is really a good guy! and i like that you have james being honest and trying to work things out. keep writing and posting! great job!
-Lisa

I love it! the argument's and how Remus and Sirius get tired of the fighting and make them talk/yell, and how they tricked them into the same room and take their wands for safety! And with Remus being so sweet and talking with Lily and being her friend! Please write the next chapter soon!!!

*Buckbeak rules*

Hi! I just read your fanfic. I think it is a very good one. I really liked the new chapter. It was too good.
I liked the way remus tries to be Lily's friend when he thinks she needs it, and Sirius and Remus tricking them into one room.
But I think Lily is being too hard on James. I hope they patch up soon.

uhh, who's mike? did i forget something?

well, anyways, good story! james was a little bit too hard to lily, i guess... but it was really well written and i liked it! also that remus and sirius locked them in a room! ^^
oh gosh! both of them just need to get over themselves! i'm really looking forward to that!
you honestly do a wonderful job!

lol, rainyday, Mike is James' father. It says so in the chapter where Lily first goes to James' house. Thank you all for the wonderfull reviews. They mean soo much to me.

Hi TaraLynn,

This fanfic is great! I really like how you put the characters down on parchment, just like the characters I'd envisioned when I read J. Rowling's books!
James is too hard and Lily is just too childish in this fanfic, I hope they get over it! The jokes are just too funny
I look forward for more.

Marieke

elizabeth11

~soccerchik

hey, i love your story!
lily apologised, gosh! that must really have taken her some courage... but it's good she did it!
james mom's cool! i like her! interesting, what you write about the 'potter men'. lol
well, i hope that lily and james get along now *grins*
ha! nice fanfic!

Yay, a new post! I love the fact you made them have that conversation, it was really realistic and I have a feeling that Lily will listen to that advice more then she thinks..? Lol. Well great job, as usual. Your a fantastic writer. Anxiously waiting for a new post...for any fic =] Keep it up ..

-Amanda

Yay! You wrote more! I LOVED it! I like how James' mom talked to Lily that was cool. I loved that 'Potter men'! Anways I can't wait for more!
~soccerchik

I love your story it's really good and you're a great writer!! I can't wait to see what happens next! Can't wait til you post another one!!!!!

-Kelso

rainyDay I'm glad you like it. Yeah, I liked the Lily apologizing too, and believe me, it did take her a lot of courage, but I think the talk with Jane really helped. Hahaha ,I really liked the chat about the 'Potter Men' as well. And as for Lily and James getting along, you'll just have to stick around.

amanda1212 As I told rainyDay, I liked the conversation too. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. And BTW. I currently started working on the next chapter for Wishing for a Miracle ( I know, you're thinking she's just now starting on it, but I wasn't quite sure how to put what I wanted to write, but i sat down today and got some work done on it) so that should be up uhh...sometime. Thanks for waiting patiently.

soccerchik Yes, I wrote more. Lol. I'm glad you liked it.Yeah, Jane is a pretty cool person. Ahh, yes, the Potter Men. You gotta love them.

Kelso2010 I'm glad you're enjoying the story. And thanks for the compliment. I wouldn't say I'm a great writer, adequate, but by no means great. I'm flattered nonetheless.


Thanks you guys for reviewing. It warms my heart just reading your kind words.
