Wow, you made so much of that little ficlet. What a wonderful characterization of Harry. I also enjoyed that you expanded Andromeda's role.

This is far beyond what was in the original, as is evidenced by this:
An image of his parents, Sirius, and Remus as he had last seen them flashed in his mind, and as he continued to watch the sleeping face of his godson, for a brief moment, he understood exactly how Voldemort had been defeated.
What a beautiful sentence and concept.

Where's the journal? What happened to the journal? Sorry, if you can't tell, I really enjoyed that detail, and the image of Sirius telling Harry stories of mischief and mayhem was wonderful. Is it in the things that Remus left for Harry in the attic? Ok, I'll stop now...

You included the parts that I liked best about this, and amplified them. I wrote the fic around 'the promise Sirius had managed to keep,' and I love the you made that the last line. I also love that you made Sirius' promise one that he actually did keep. The ways in which Harry and Sirius' experiences both mirrored each other and were different were lovely.

Wonderful! I know it's not technically for me, but thank you!
