Lol! I'd imagine. I hope that psych assignment went well. :)

Yeah. :P Sirius and Ron actually have no choice but to take it without too much fuss. Both Ginny and Harry have pointed out on two separate occassions that Sev is to them as Teddy is to Remus and Tonks. Ginny made it clear to them in the car that if they want to keep seeing Harry, they would have to put up with Sev. Otherwise, they would never see Harry again. It was Ginny's ultimatum that got them thinking about how they acted towards Sev. You notice how they're both really quiet in the car. What Harry said to the two of them in the garage was practically the same thing as what Ginny told them in the car. The idea was that if Sev didn't feel safe around Ron and Sirius, Harry was not going to take him to see them; and since Sev goes where Harry goes, if Sev doesn't feel safe around Ron and Sirius, Harry will not be able see them. Thus, Ron and Sirius have to make it so that Sev feels safe around them, thus allowing them to keep seeing Harry. 

That, and both Harry and Ginny made it clear that insulting Sev in front of either of them is like insulting Teddy in front of Remus and Tonks. They'd have to deal with full-blown pissed off parents if that happens. And that's actually what Ron and Sirius had to deal with in the car in the previous chapter--full-blown pissed off Ginny. They didn't want any further repeats of that performance.  

Now, that doesn't mean there won't be little outbursts here and there. There will be. There was, actually, as you noted in your review. Yet Harry dealt with those as they came. 

Oh! And I think you misunderstood the reference. :P Er..."Meh po dad a back!" is a reference to a line from the previous chapter. It means "I'm more important than Black!" :P He was chanting it over and over and over again as a sort of reminder of what Harry said to him in the restaurant: "Yes, you're more important than Black!" 

"Meh po dad a back!" --> "I'm more important than Black!" 

Remus is reluctant to take the house because he feels Harry's already done too much for him. He's given him a place to live (Hogwarts), a permanent job (professor), he's making him Wolfsbane every month, he's working to change the laws in his favor, he's stayed with him throughout the years. He feels that Harry has already given so much to him. He's reluctant to take something this big, no matter how good it is. He's a rather proud man. Uh...and yeah. I think that was all.

I hope the concert went well! :)

Oh, and did I forget to thank you for the review? How rude of me! THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW!!! :) It's much appreciated.  

Of course Ninja Turtles were listed. What would Halloween be without them!!

Thanks Ivy. Yeah, that would have been funny, wouldn't it?  Snape dressed up as himself, and scaring the wits out of the kids. The haunted house was funny, wasn't it?  Yeah, Sirius shouldn't have been more careful about Remus, but this is crazy Sirius we're talking about. But he still would never have taken a chance with childen being hurt. Remus was well secured.

 I loved writing Ron and Hermione too. Ron, especially, was fun to write. Hee hee.  Poor little Lesley; she didn't know WHAT to believe.

Thanks Ivy, and I always love your stories too. Hint hint....
