I'll start by saying I still like the fic! But here's a couple comments for you: First, Trelawney (I can't ever remember the right spelling) wasn't the divination teacher when Lily and James were at Hogwarts, and definitely not when they were just starting. She was only hired a little before Harry's birth because of the prophecy, you know... I can't remember what cannon you're following (books 1-5, 1-6 or 1-7) but I think that revelation was in Order of the Phoenix.

My second comment is about Fletcher, since you asked for opinions on him. While I see that he could potentially be an interesting character I don't know if I believe in him yet, or why Sirius idolized him. Right now he's just "the school bookie" and a tool for getting Sirius to go off on how horrible his family is. I'd like to see why Sirius idolized him other than for the fact that he was in Gryffindor and gave Sirius the desire to be in that house as well; was Fletch a trouble-maker? Did he launch James and Sirius's detention-filled careers?

I liked that Sirius is starting to see a new side of himself, though. Overall I thought it was good, and I'd like another update... =^)

ciao, Clio

wow. great storyline/real life morals (wow that sounds cheesy) but yes. its good. i forgot to check if its finished, but if not (& it shouldnt be) update sooner rather than later! thanksss

I think this is awesome! Having Sirius telling in essays his life and thoughts it's a great idea! I'm loving it! I love Sirius and you are doing a great job writing him!!! Until next time! Bye

i would ask you to avoid the vulgar language, but it is my choice whether to read this or not so hmph..........

if fletch was real, i'd so date him. he sounds wicked cool. i think you should write more, though. it's been a while since i've read. *smiles hopefully*

until the next,
xoxo tessa

Wow... this story is great! I love the added character, 'Fletcher'... he does sound like an idolised person by the students... is he related to mundungus fletcher, in any way? I loved it that you've shown Sirius' character more than a 'play boy' or 'non emotional' like other stories, but concentrated on his battles with his family and whether to live up to them or not... until the next!

I liked that chapter. It is so true, their is nothing wrong with wanting to make your parents proud, however not at your own expense. It is your own life, and what is the point of pleasing someone else at the expense of your own happiness. I realize that siruis family is quite the exception, but most parents ultimately want their children to be happy anyway

This is an interesting fic! I like that you talked about Sirius's relationship with his bother, definitly something that isn't really covered in other fics. It would be interesting to write a fic about Regulus and his rise and fall as a Death Eater, you know, what turned him round, made him see the light...

Whoa, off topic! Sorry! :-) I like what you're doing so far though! Keep up the good work and update soon!

Brilliant. I think you're doing a wonderful job portraying Sirius and James, and how they were during their coming of age and beyond. I cannot wait for the next chapter.

umm, yeah sort of, it was definitely less enjoyable simply because of the nature of the theme, but it was still good writing

lol, umm, well that was interesting to say the least, but I enjoyed it

That was hilarious!!!!! My favourite part was the end where Sirius was like "So, basically, this is was he missed my party for—a sunset walk and a talk about emotions, could it get any gayer? Seriously man. And my party was off the hook. True, I don’t remember to bulk of it, but I woke up with two blondes in my bed and a monster of a hangover, so I’m sure I had a brilliant time…", I was laughing!!! Good job on the fanfic!!!!!! Could you possibly write more "From the Files of Sirius Black"? There really funny!!!!

In your summary you say this is a one-shot, but for the status of the fic you say it is in progress... so which is it?

This works great as a one-shot. I really loved it and it feels finished, but I'm also curious. If you plan on continuing the story, how would you do it?

Sirius telling the story was great! I love anything from his point of view. But yeah, I really loved this. Keep up the great work.

AAAhhh ... I could jump from the lack of more chapters... Please, update soon!

i decided that i should be the first one to review this. lol actually this story is quite cute. i like the idea of a story being told about James/Lily with Sirius's point of view. it's a great read and i look forward to reading more...keep up the awesome writing!
