Hey guys, good news, next chapter is up, bad news, it's a bit on the short side. Hope you enjoy!
HarryPotterNut: Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it! Yes there will be more Sirius in the upcoming chapters, unless I change the plot line that I have planned out right now he is very very important. The reaction that he causes in Lily is slightly based off of me with my best friend, she has a habit of dating guys I don't like and my over protectiveness of her comes out a bit in Lily's character.
PottyHead: hahah Kelly I have way to many guesses for what those astrics' could have possibly stood for, I'll have to remember to ask you about them on msn some time

I'm glad you like the background on the characters, their relationships with each other are important, I think, and other than spending a few chapters giving background on the most important relationships I couldn't figure out a good way to stress that. YAAAY *singsong voice* my boyfriend got freed from the cupboard my boyfriend got freed from the cupboard

hahaha you could always threaten with NOT going into the cupboard yourself

Thanks again darling, I'm glad you liked it.
Prongs1193: Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it and hope you enjoy the rest
megan elise smith: Well you're half right on 1 of the 3 counts. I did get the name Lorelei from Gilmore Girls, the first time I watched that show I fell in love with that name. *hangs head in shame* However, I don't think that their relationship is at all similar to Lorelei's and Rory's other than that they both have a very close bond. However I've never read A Great and Terrible Beauty (I've been meaning to for a while now but I haven't gotten around to it.) and I've never seen The Office. Although now I think I'm going to have to give both a try so I can find the resemblances. As for Lily's character, you haven't really gotten a good look at her with people she doesn't like yet. The only situations you've seen are her and James, and Izzie has interrupted them before anything bad can happen. She has no reason to be like that with her friends, and if she was they wouldn't be her friends for much longer.
Ginny.Weasley: Ah Lauren, you haven't seen tangled yet. Just you wait, Kelly has been giving me advice for my next few chapters and it seems to have gone to heart, let the drama begin *wicked smile* Anyways...I'm glad you like Izzie's character, that was kind of my idea to show their better side. A lot of people show Lily hating James and then suddenly falling for him, but there has to be something there to fall for to begin with so I wanted to show that. As for Izzie and James, I kind of just put that there without thinking about it, I wanted right away to clear up that they would never have that sort of relationship and...And hey! I am capable of a happily ever after...did you not read the prologue where she is happily married and living in an American muggle community?

The scene with James is kind of a lot like me...I don't trust people to understand and I feel like telling them is a burden to them, even my best friends. Thanks so much Lauren.
