Reviews For Outcast's Alley
I feel really bad for Harry, when it comes to Hermione. It's really sad that she is being so reserved and distrustful toward him. It makes me wonder if she is in some way prejudiced. One mistake that he made was responding to her letter as if he wasn't Tobias, which will only solidify her belief that they are two different people. It was foolish of him. Author's Response: Hmmm...I have to disagree. Tobias NEEDS for Hermione to think they are two different people, so that he can return to Hogwarts without issues. He did it on purpose. On the other hand, I totally agree with you about Remus. How can he hide his whole life, and still call himself a Gryffindor?? Thanks for the review!! I'm really glad you like the story!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked! And thanks for your good wishes. I think I did well, but I don't know yet. :0)
I don't know why but I have this image of a scene where Remus and Harry haven't quite managed to get around their different approaches to their heritages and Harry gets angry and asks Remus what he would do if Harry dropped dead that instant, would he have Mo's wings cut off so she could be more 'human' as well? Especially since Remus's decisions can't be trusted since he takes a poison on a monthly basis just to make the humans feel better. Although that would really be twisting the knife as it drove home the point of why he wasn't willing to trust him. The danger his mentality and his decision to out Harry is going to impact Mo a great deal so Harry can argue from that stance quite comfortably once he's thought about how many ways Remus was wrong. Lol, this is how you know that a story is good, when you can read it and see a dozen different ways it could go and want to write them all... and this is a fan piece to begin with, so that's an awkward feeling. Anyways I just wanted to say how good your fic was and I do hope you get a chance to update very, very soon. I should have just reviewed each chapter but I suspect I would be repeating myself a lot so I will just have to apologize for the length of this review instead. Sorry! Author's Response: ROFL. I'm still laughing as I write. Yeah, there were so many fics out there with the 'mate' thing that I just wanted to nip that in the bud right away. Animals do not have only one perfect 'mate' and never possibly fall in love with anybody else. Seriously. Anyway, thanks so much for the lovely long review. I really enjoyed reading it, and I'm really glad you like the story thus far. Thanks!! Rhiannan

I liked all the letters. Harry really has some attitude. I find it very in character. This is a great story. I was so happy to see an update. Thank you! Good luck on your exams! Author's Response: Yey!! Glad you like!! Thanks for the review!! And thanks for the good wishes - I think I did well, but I don't know yet, for all of them.
This version of Lupin continues to lower himself in my opinion. In cannon he was so scared and denied himself to the point of ignoring doing the right thing especially in regards to bullying Snape. Bringing up the trust vault was a low blow and not really relevant to the conversation - yes, keep yourself hidden to make a living but be honest to yourself. Harry could probably care less that he's loaded, beyond taking care of his immediate needs, because the trade off has not been that great - orphan, being portrayed badly in the press and the unwelcome fame. Lupin even said his life was easier this way - ignoring Dumbledore's philosophy 'doing what is right or what is easy.' I really would like to see Sirius man up. It always bothered me that he let everyone overrule him in his own home in cannon. He is the adult and I know the revelations have thrown him for a loop but he needs to get over it. Please let Bill take a cue from the goblins, since they obviously knew about the royalty issue, and not turn him in. I have no doubts that someone will let it slip to the sidhe but I'd rather it not be Bill. I wouldn't be surprised if Snape rats him out in his report - if he is indeed one of those working to spy on voldy for the sidhe. I did kinda wonder how Tobias received his letter. I had a funny thought that Hermionie gave the owl the letter and it circled the table and landed at Tobias' plate with a why-did-you-bother expression on it's birdy face. That would have been a funny way to out him. And what happened to Hedwig? Thanks for the chapter! Author's Response: Hey!! Lovely, long review!! Thanks so much!! Good point, about the letter. I had assumed Hermione sent the owl out her window, and it had showed up immediately at Harry's, but your image is lovely. That would be hilarious. I HOPE Hedwig is smarter than that, but she is just an owl... Anyway, glad you like, and thanks again!!
Author's Response: Thanks!!
