I loved this story! It was great! I wanted more just after James and Lily got together in the room of requirement though. A good sex scene would have been fantastic!
I love Lily and James fan fic.. it's terrific!
Good job!

Oh my gosh you are an awesome author, you had me totally hooked!
Author Feedback: LOL... I am glad that I have you hooked! Now.. let me reel you in!

Thanks for the read and review. Makes my job so pleasurable (since I have to be on the computer anyways, and to look over and see a message from my email box with a wonderful review). Check out some of my other works, and let me know what you think, and then again there is also the UN-porkey stories on the other site you can check out...

Thanks again!

It's a little late for me to get into the review game, I suppose, but better late than never. I wanted to review for the last chapter voting for an epilogue, but I'm not sure I did.

Anyway, I loved your story. I'm not sure when I found it, but I'm thinking it was around chapter four or five, and I've been lurking ever since. I loved the idea and liked the way you portrayed the characters.

As sad as I am to see this end, I think that this epilogue has closed the story off nicely, and I can't wait to read more of your work.

Come to think of it, I've actually read "To Wash the Black Dog," but I haven't reviewed for that, either. Sorry about that. Now that I'm an active portkey user, I'm more apt to leave reviews.

So, anyway, love your stories and I loved The Trade Off. Can't wait to read whatever else you have!
Author Feedback: Sorry it has taken so long to reply to your review. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. It is really the only payment we get for our hard work (don't feel guilty, though, because I don't always review what I read either). I am glad that you liked this, and the other works of genius (now don't I just sound full of myself). I plan on releasing another story soon, so be on the look out for it!

Thanks again for the review~

Hahaha, I love the "don't frown!" Poor Lily and James stumbling over their words. Much better than the end of the last chapter, a nice cute and happy end!
Author Feedback: It wraps things up rather nicely, doesn't it? I am glad that you like it, and I appreciate you reading and reviewing. It is nice to see familiar names when you get reviews.

Author Feedback: No problem! It is something that I like to do! I have a few in the works, not sure which one I will be bringing up to this site next. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Rather gripping way to begin, I just love your writing. It's really, really wonderful. The characters, the descriptions, the emotions, it's all so natural, I feel like I'm just reading a regular book. Poor Peter, it's not really his fault that he has no freaking idea what just happened. Poor Sirius, he needs someone to take care of him. Did Alice and Frank get out okay? I love Sirius. I love that you're letting him be mature, so few writers seem to do that, but I think that Sirius dee down inside is really quite mature, as much as Remus or James, he just doesn't show it unless he needs to. And now he needs to. Eek, poor James. I really do feel quite sorry for him.

I'm going to say, I liked the story up until the last line. It doesn't quite fit the rest of it. Did you just want to finish up? I mean, I understand that James would stop being mad after that, but still.

I'd like an epilogue!
Author Feedback: Yeah, I know. Its seems like a cop out, but the chapters were just getting WAY TOO LONG. I am a weakling... I shoud be beaten.. really not, but still. I realized that after re-reading a few times to see if it needs a epilogue or not. The sentiment is that I really should do one.

Now if I could get people to be so interested in my actual writing, then I would be set for life! LOL... not really, but I will write an epilogue. Especailly since your reviews were so long! LOL.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Ooh, I like how they all suddenly need to leave James alone with Lily. How convenient. Shopping in Paris and Milan? Lucky Lily! Ooh! Kissing, oh my James and Lily. Goodness, James and Lily are quite intense. Ooh, look at what he said! How very very intense. EGADS. James' parents. Dear god. That is slightly mortifying. Haha, it's so odd to hear them discussing it afterwards. Ooh, I wonder what happened between Lily and Sanpe in the missing pages. Oh no! Poor Sirius. I feel rather bad for him. Interesting to see a fanfic writer have him fall for someone other than an OC. I rather like it. Oh no! You just killed Mr. Potter! Oh no! Mrs. Potter as well!!! What a cliff hanger, jeez!
Author Feedback: Wow. You summed it up rather detailedly... Glad to see you were paying attention!

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

oo la la! That was marvelous! I absolutely loved it! This story is amazing! I loved how both Lily and James went to the Quidditch Pitch when they got sad or angry! It was sooo cute! I am so glad that Severus and Lily didnt do anything! That would have been completely gross!
I hope that you have another story out soon! I cant wait to read it!
Till next time

Author Feedback: Thanks for your review, and your consistancy in reviewing... sometimes I wonder if people are even reading the stuff I write (which would be a shame if I am doing all the work and no one is reading). I have a few things I am mulling over, and I paused my H/Hr story Separated for the time being (though I have 2 chapters I am working on). I think Portkey has too many rules, but alas I will abide by them.

I am hoping for another story soon, so be on the look out.

Thanks for the review.

Distant and aloof? James may try, but he's certaintly going to have a hard time. I love your dialogue writing, it just flows so naturally and each character has its own voice. Lily has road rage! Love it. Quack? Hee! I love Sirius. He's fantastic. Such a teenage boy, isn't he? I love how Sirius is looking out for James. Your characters have enough dimensions to make them believable people, it's really wonderful.
Author Feedback: Wow, thanks! I always like when the review actually reflect what I am doing right. I do appreciate it, and I hope that future chapter(s) are received as well. The final chapter (chapter 10) will be uploaded in the coming days.

Thank you again for your review.

The first part of this story made me smile soo much and then... then the ending... Good God my eyes filled with tears! (I have no idea if it is because I am REALLY tired or because of your story! I have a feeling it is your story!) That was a very sad ending! Poor Beth and Ryan! And Severus, oooo he can die a very painful death and rot in hell! The stupid jerk! I would love to kill him right now!
I Love This Story! Please update as soon as you can!
Author Feedback: Finally! I moved someone to tears... tired or not! I really liked this chapter, and the finally chapter is actually written and on my key chain ready to be uploaded. It is the final chapter in this saga, and I hope that it ends as hoped (well, we all knows how it ends, eventually, but for the sake of this time, I hope that it ends ok). I am not sure if after chapter ten if it will need an epilogue, and I am hoping that my readers can let me know. I have seen that most want one, I am not sure as to whether this particular vein needs one or not.

Thanks for the review, really. People don't realize that it is the only sort of encouragement we get.

I hope that you read some of my other stories (past and future) and comment on them. Thanks for hanging in there!

Really interesting! They're quite tense aren't they? I hope he doesn't break the agreement. Poor James, it must be really quite hard for him. Your dialogue is very snappy. I like!
Author Feedback: I am glad that you like it and I hope that the remaining chapters are received well by you and all of my readers.

That was some deal! I cant wait to see what is really in those missing pages of the diary! Please update as soon as you can!
Author Feedback: How about this? I have those three pages and I have read them (all I can say is Oh!!!!). LOL. As for the next update, the modem is down at the home, so it might be a day or three longer than expected. But, damn, there are some great chapters coming. It is all in the book. LOL.


Thanks for your continuing support and reviews. Glad to get them, as always!

Poor Lily! I would hate to have the guy that you like read your personal diary! It would be the most embarrassing thing ever for me at least!
Lily's dad gave her a rubber ducky??? I guess it could have been when she was a little girl, I cant wait for the next update! I hope that it is soon!
Author Feedback: I would have mortified, definitely, should a guy have read my personal thoughts and feelings. Really.

As for the duck, it hold little significants except her dad has passed away and this was something small he had given her as child. It is something she can carry with her, and always have a piece of her father near by.

The next chapter is in the works, I swear, and I hope the length is ok. I noticed that they are tending to be longer than chapters in previous stories.

Uh Oh! Ah, James really should have known better, but I suppose his curiousity got the better of him. Kudos to you for finding a neat way for James to find out about how close Lily and Severus had been. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.
Author Feedback: What I can't wait to read is those three pages Lily removed from her Diary. I know where they are, and how they 'may' resurface... I just hope it works out...

Thanks for the compliment. I knew I needed to draw it in, and I doubt that will be the last we will see the diary... lol...

Thanks again for the review!
