Haha. I love that James ruined the tree. I like Lily as sort of the Den Mother, too. It seems very fitting. Another piece of lovely writing. I like that you used his listing to orientate us to their current place in life-Voldemort gone, but Remus also and so on. Very crafty ;)

I love seeing James and Lily alive, I've always really liked the friendship between Lily and Sirius, because it can be done in so many different ways, I think you wrote this one well, and I would like to see it continued.

Ooh, Sirius/Severus, that's new. Love this. All three of them are so real and in character, plus your writing is lovely. This is pretty much what I was looking for when I set the challenge. :)
