The Marauders Discover Fanfiction

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Adventures of C, L and D!

First Uploaded: July 4th, 2016 (I'm so sorry guys!)

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I am human trash for not updating for so long :( pls forgive me guys!

WARNING: a little swearing ahead! (just, like, once though)

Peter nervously tapped his fingers on his knee as they all waited for the device to select the next story. "I really hope it's the next chapter of 'Metal on my Finger'," he told the others.

"Me, too," Sirius said, leaning back in his chair. "That story is actually well written, for a change."

"Uh, oh." James looked up at the others, then glanced back down at the story the machine had selected. "Bad news: it's not the next part of the story. At least there don't seem to be too many spelling mistakes, though, so there's still hope that it might be a good story."

"I'll read," Lily offered, and took the device from James, giving him a smile as their hands brushed. "It's called, The Adventures of C, L and D."

"What a stupid title." Remus declared. "Why would they only use the initials of the main characters?"

"Give the story a chance," Peter said serenely. "It's unfair to judge a book by its cover, or, in this case, a story by its title."

"I disagree." Remus said. "I mean, the title is supposed to provide some insight into the story, and it should be creative, original and thought-provoking. And besides, the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' actually refers to people, and not judging others based on their appearance, rather than actual books."

"Be quiet," Peter said calmly, gesturing for Lily to start reading. "I, Peter The Fanfiction Guru, will decide if this story is garbage or not, but only after we've read it."

"Peter The Fanfiction Guru?" Livia asked, snorting. "Since when?"

"Since I decided that fanfiction is a special and magical thing and that reading it is my new favourite pastime." Peter said, his voice filled with tranquillity.

"Even more than pranking?" James asked, trying not to laugh at his friend's attitude.

"I declare that pranking is immature, reading fanfiction is what true geniuses do." Peter replied.

"What about playing quidditch?" Lily chimed in.

"You're forgetting that Peter can't catch a Quaffle to save his life." James snickered.

"That is true, besides, quidditch is lame." Peter said wisely.

"No." Sirius gasped, putting a hand over his heart for added dramatic effect. "Who are you, and what have you done with my friend?"

Peter rolled his eyes, dropping the act. "Just kidding, quidditch is awesome. Even though I really can't catch a Quaffle. But, even so, I am Peter The Fanfiction Guru, and you shall from now on all hear my words of wisdom."

Remus laughed. "I look forward to that."

Lily cleared her throat. "Can I start reading?" She asked, and everybody nodded, curious to hear the story.

"I can't believe we're going to have the ball!" Lily exclaimed to her BFF, Carolyne.

"Oh, no." Remus said. "B.F.F.? That isn't a good start. And she's called Caroline, but with a 'y', which could be an indicator of her Mary Sue-ness."

"Don't be so harsh, Moony." Sirius said. "Perhaps her mother was just feeling creative; I can sympathise with her for having an obscure name. And the abbreviation could just be some future slang that everybody knows."

"This is the most exiting thing

"I think that's supposed to mean 'exciting' thing…" Livia said.

"And the spelling mistakes have started." James said, sighing.

to happen since the marauder's last prank – but that wasn't even exiting at all!"

"Three exclamation points," Lily said. "My eyes hurt from that."

"And how dare she say that our pranks aren't exciting? Or, well, 'exiting', in this case." Sirius said.

"Yeah" Carolyne agreed "all they did was pour green slime on the Slytherins-that's so uncreative."

"Okay, that's pretty uncreative," Sirius had to concede. "But we'd never do something so immature in real life."

Lily raised an eyebrow at him. "I happen to recall you doing exactly that to Severus Snape and his two Slytherin friends in fourth year."

"Fine, you're right, but that was before. We are changed men, Lily." He said histrionically.

"Sure thing." Lily said, her tone disbelieving.

"Yeah" Lily nodded. "I hate potter so much!"

"Damn, it's one of those stories." James said.

"Don't worry, Prongs, I bet you a galleon that you'll end up together by the end of the story. After all, fanfiction authors love exploring the whole hatred-turned-love aspect of your relationship." Sirius said.

"I hate Sirius Flippin' Black.

"Wanna bet that Sirius and this Carolyne chick will end up together?" Livia said.

"I think they will, too. After all, she's the other female protagonist, and ninety percent of the time they end up with Sirius." Remus said.

That's why his initials are S.O.B: He's a son ov'a bitch."

Sirius scowled while everybody else started laughing. "That's not fair." He stated. "I can't help it that my name sucks."

"Hahahaha!" Lily laughed loudly,

"That's so redundant," Remus said. "You should never, ever write 'hahaha' as part of a dialogue in your story. And definitely not follow it by saying that the character 'laughed', because then you're repeating yourself."

tears of laughter on her pretty cheeks.

"Pretty cheeks?" Sirius snorted. "How can cheeks be pretty?"

"Lily's cheeks are pretty," James said, winking at Lily, who blushed.

"Ew. Excuse me while I go vomit." Sirius said loudly.

"And can we talk about how Lily is literally crying from laughter after that one simple joke?" Livia added. "I mean, it wasn't that funny."

"you're so right! The only nice marauder is Remus,

"What about me?" Peter asked, his face falling. "I'm nice, too!"

There was an uncomfortable silence as everyone realised that it would likely be a story that either ignored Peter or hated him.

"Of course you're nice." Lily said kindly. "The opinion of some second-rate author shouldn't matter to you."

Peter looked a little more cheerful, but he was obviously still upset that so many stories disliked him.

but we all know that he's taken because Daniella has a crush on him."

"That doesn't necessarily mean he's taken." Sirius pointed out.

"It kind of does, though." Livia said. "You can't forget about the girl-code-of-honour."

"You actually have one of those?" James asked, interested.

"It's top secret, so you're not going to find it out." Livia immediately replied, and James looked disappointed.

She said, pointing at their other friend. She was reading a book like the bookworm she was.

"What a stupid description." Remus said, annoyed. "Just because she's reading a book, it doesn't have to mean she's a bookworm, and the fact that she's a bookworm doesn't mean she's always reading."

Daniella was very pretty in a shy sort of way

"Uh, how can you be pretty in a 'shy sort of way'?" Peter asked.

"You're… I don't know, pretty and shy?" Sirius suggested.

"This description is already getting on my nerves." Remus said.

(she had only ever had one boyfriend),

"What does that have to do with anything?" Livia asked rhetorically.

she had blonde hair and innocent doe eyes. She was shy and spent most of her time reading.

"Oh, wow, let me guess; she must be a bookworm!" Remus said sarcastically.

Lily was very pretty,

"Aw, thanks, fanfiction-author!" Lily said, pretending to be bashful.

she had fiery red hair and bright green eyes, with a small splattering of freckles on her straight nose that gave her a very cute look. She was very fun and cool, but she also got very good grades and was very responsible.

"I quite like how I'm depicted in this fanfiction." Lily said. "Though I haven't made up my mind about whether or not I like it."

Carolyne (or 'C', pronounced 'See', as her friends called her)

"How dumb does the author think we are?" Remus said.

"Well, you have to remember that this is probably aimed at twelve-year-old girls, so they might need some help pronouncing complicated letters like 'C'." Sirius replied.

"Mate… I don't know about you, but I could pronounce the letter 'C' when I was twelve." James said, which Sirius ignored.

was hot to the extreme.

"Whoop, and she's a Mary Sue." Remus rolled his eyes. "Well, it's been a while since we've had one."

"Not long enough…" Sirius muttered.

Many boys wanted her, but she didn't really show interest in them, she only had a couple of boyfriends and wasn't a slut or anything.

"Argh, I can't stand this slut-shaming." Remus said, irritated. "As well as the whole, overdone, so-many-boys-want-her-but-she-doesn't-care thing."

She had thick black hair and blue eyes, pouty lips that always looked kissable and flawless skin. Her body was perfect, skinny with curves in all the right places,

"That has to be the most clichéd way of describing a body type ever." Livia said.

but she wasn't even aware of this, despite how often Lily and Daniella told her how beautiful she was.

"Isn't she humble?" Remus gushed with fake enthusiasm.

She was a loud, funny prankster that pulled pranks that rivalled those of the marauders

"Puh-lease. Like one chick could do anything that rivals the work of four masterminds." Sirius said.

(that was how their rivalry, especially one between her and a certain mister Black started). She had dated exactly three guys,

"We don't really care." Remus said.

one named Robert Slycrown in her fourth year (it lasted for a year),

"I repeat: we don't care."

one for the last part of her fifth year called Brett Robins (he was one of the hottest guys in the school, and he was two years older than her, besides her he never even dated younger people!)

"Oh my gosh, isn't she so special and not at all Mary-Sue-ish?" Livia said sarcastically.

and a boy from their year in Ravenclaw that was also very handsome in her sixth year. Since seventh year began, she hadn't dated anyone, despite it nearly being December.

"That was not at all relevant to the story." Sirius observed. "Why did the author put it in, Moony?"

"I'm beginning to suspect that this character is a special type of Mary Sue: The Self-Inserted Sue. Basically, the author just imagines themselves in the story, and this is the product of that. All this stuff about her boyfriends was just what the author wishes her own dating life would be like."

That was what Lily and C had currently been discussing: there was going to be a winter ball!

"I hate overused exclamation marks." Lily said. "And I can't believe the author is going to call the character 'C', as in the letter, from now on."

"Who are you going with?" C asked, giggling.

"I don't know," Lily said, laughing. "I think whoever asks me, if anyone does!" She sighed sadly.

"Fanfiction!me needs to have more self-confidence." Lily said.

"Don't be an idiot, you're beautiful and I bet hundreds of guys will be begging to go with you!" C told her friend. "Unlike me…"

"And that just sounds like she's fishing for compliments." Livia said.

"Don't be stupid, I bet every guy in the school wants to go with you!"

"See? She was totally fishing for compliments."

The next day, the girls went to breakfast. Suddenly, their pudding exploded in front of them, covering them in chocolate. Then, the water pitcher burst and soaked them from head to toe.

"SIRIUS BLACK!" C yelled viciously. "I KNOW IT WAS YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"

"There's a missing comma, and it's all in capitals. This hurts my brain." Lily said.

She stormed at him, ignoring the whole hall's gaze on her. She didn't realise that the water had soaked her white shirt, displaying her lacy black bra. All the guys stared at her as their dreams came true, and all the girls looked at her in envy.

"She's such a Mary Sue that it's not even funny." Remus said.

"When are Mary Sues ever funny?" Sirius asked. "And, again, all the guys are always such perverts in these stories. Though, on the other hand, if a hot girl had a see-through shirt on with a black lacy bra underneath, I might stare."

"You're a pig." Livia said casually.

"Never said I wasn't." Sirius replied.

"Uh, no?" He said, but he couldn't formulate a proper response, distracted by her see-through shirt. "I… er…" He had no idea why it was affecting him so much. He needed to get out of here. He rushed past her.

"That's extremely subtle and nobody is going to guess that she was affecting Fanfiction!me." Sirius said sarcastically. "And anyway, why do I always get stuck with the Mary Sues? Life is so unfair."

"It's because you're the 'bad boy' of our group, at least, in the eyes of these authors." Remus explained. "You're the arrogant, good-looking one with a troubled past that's from a dark family. The types of authors that generally tend to write Mary Sue stories are attracted to you the most, so you always get stuck with those ones. Oh, and they all want to have their character be the one that 'changes' you, and makes you go from a womanizing player to a loving, romantic boyfriend."

"That actually makes a lot of sense." Sirius said. "I really need to re-work my image. I'm sick of being the Mary-Sue-Magnet, or the Man-whore, in these stories."

"BLOODY COWARD!" She screamed after him. She marched back to the seat next to Lily and Danielle. Lily waved her wand at C's shirt, vanishing the pudding and water. "I hate him so much." She fumed.

As the next week passed, twenty people asked C to the ball, ten asked Lily, and three asked Danielle.

Remus hit his face with his hand. "I actually can't believe this story."

"I don't know who to go with!" C complained in Charms class. She had already perfectly mastered the spell, so she and Lily were chatting.

"It's like the author isn't even bothering to hide the fact that this character is a Mary Sue anymore." Peter said.

"And she doesn't exactly seem very charismatic if she's complaining about how much choice she has in her selection of guys." James said.

"Me, neither." Lily sighed.

"I just don't fancy any of them." She said. "I don't even know WHO I want to go with."

"Me, neither." Lily said sadly.

"I literally just said that." Lily said. "I really need to broaden my vocabulary."

Suddenly, the door opened and Abigail Justins walked into the classroom, her hair dishevelled and her blouse unbuttoned. She slid into the seat in front of the girls, whispering with her friends. They couldn't hear everything, but understood that she had been shagging Sirius.

"Damn it!" Sirius sighed. "I'm a player again."

"What an asshole." C said darkly. "I'll show him…"

Remus snorted. "He literally didn't do anything to her. This is probably the author's way of hinting that 'C' is jealous."

The next day, the whole school was talking about how C had agreed to go to the ball with Harris Bell, the most popular and handsome boy in the school (apart from the marauders).

"Surprise, surprise. She got asked by the most handsome guy." Livia said.

"And the entire school has nothing better to talk about than this." Peter added.

"C, guess what?!" Lily exclaimed, "I think I'm going to go to the ball with James."

"Well, that escalated quickly." James laughed. "I thought a second ago she hated me."

C spat out her juice, then quickly vanishing it before anyone saw. "Oh, look at what a klutz I am." She giggled.

"This is the author's way of making her seem more realistic. She obviously doesn't have any real flaws, so the author added this little piece of information to make her seem relatable." Remus said. "Although it doesn't count, since nobody saw it."

Then she realised what happened. "WHAT?! JAMES POTTER? YOUR ARCH NEMESIS?"

"Why does it always have to be capital letters?" Lily complained.

Lily giggled again. "Well, I really think he's changed." Lily told C about the long conversation they'd had, then how romantically he had asked her.

"What, no details?" James asked, evidently disappointed.

"Sadly, you and Lily aren't the focus of this story." Remus said. "I think the author should retitle it, 'The Adventures of C (oh, and some other people that aren't important)'."

"Well, I suppose…" C said. "As long as you don't expect me to get along with his tool of a best mate!"

"See, she's making everything about her again."

Lily snickered. "I don't think anyone could get you two to get along."

On the day of the ball, everyone was getting ready.

Lily had put on a dark blue dress that complemented her hair and eyes, with thousands of tiny diamonds decorating the bodice.

"That was probably quite expensive," Lily observed. "I wonder where I got all that money from, to buy thousands of diamonds."

It was tight until her knees, when it flared into a mermaid-like skirt to the floor. It had one strap made of silver satin, and another think line of silver satin separated the bodice from the skirt at her waist.

"This description is going on for way too long." Peter said. "I'm bored already."

She matched it with a pair of silver high heels and a silver-and-diamond clutch. Her red hair was done up in an elegant updo, with a few red curls brushing her shoulders. Her makeup was simple yet elegant, with mascara, eyeliner, some pink lipgloss and a touch of blush.

"B-O-R-I-G." Sirius said.

"That's not how you spell boring, Sirius. You missed the 'n'." Livia told him.

"Oh, no: I'm conforming to my stereotype!" Sirius exclaimed. "I'm becoming stupid!"

"Shut up." James said good-naturedly.

Danielle (who was going to the ball with Remus)

"Again, that was completely random, and nobody really feels at all invested in us as a couple since we never even interacted in the story." Remus said.

was wearing a light pink sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline, that was made of silk and gave her a look of prettiness but innocence.

"Again with the whole shy, innocent thing. We get it, Danielle is a shy, innocent bookworm; there's no need to tell us a million times."

The skirt was loose and flowing, and the dress was fairly simple (but very nice). She wore it with a pair of pink heels and a pink clutch, and a silver necklace and bracelets, with silver teardrop earings. Her hair was down, but C had styled it for her in gentle curls. Her makeup was barely there, just some pink eyeshadow and lipgloss.

"This is so boring, I'm practically asleep." James said. "Why would anyone care what exactly she's wearing?"

C looked drop-dead gorgeous.

"Here we go…" Remus said.

Although she didn't know it, she looked like she had stepped out of a fashion magazine, but even better.

"Screw you, author." Lily said.

She was wearing a dark red dress that looked incredibly sexy. Her bodice was made of lace, leaving suggestive expanses of skin free (it had a deep neckline and it was backless, as well as several other areas that weren't covered by lace).

"Uh, what 'other areas' exactly?" Peter asked. "I mean, that could technically mean that she's wearing a dress literally displaying her butt."

"That would be funny." James said. "Though, knowing this author, everyone would probably think it's the coolest thing ever and start imitating her."

It had two sleeves (also made of red lace) and the lace was patterened in swirls and flowers. The skirt itself was long and flowing, made of wine red silk that went further than the floor, so that it pooled at her feet and trailed behind her.

Sirius gave a loud yawn.

There was an opening up the edge of the dress at her leg, so that you could see her toned, thin legs under the dress.

"Such a Mary Sue…" Remus muttered.

She wore the dress with strappy red shoes (which she didn't know were actually by a very famous designer – she had received them for her birthday and just thought they looked nice),

"I can't believe the audacity of this author." Lily said. "Does she really think that people will believe something like that? And what does that even prove about the character? That she's modest and not spoiled, or what?"

and a red clutch that was also decorated with lace. She wore 1.5 carat diamond earrings with it (7.5 mm diameter),

"These are such unnecessary details." Peter said. "Nobody cares."

and a diamond bracelet with silver roses twining around her wrist. Her glossy hair was tumbling free (she just left it down because she couldn't be bothered to do anything with it, but in reality it looked indescribably amazing)

"If we did a shot every time the author mentions that 'C' doesn't know how pretty she is, we'd be completely drunk by now." Sirius said.

and her face was completely bare of makeup (she didn't need it, because she was already the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts).

"Mary Sue." Livia coughed.

"Let's go!" Lily squealed. "I'm so exited!"

"Oh, I'm 'exited' again." Lily said.

"Me too!" C said, tossing her gorgeous hair back. They strutted down the stairs looking like supermodels (especially C).

Remus put his head in his hands in despair.

When the boys (Remus, James and Harris) saw them, their jaws dropped.

"Simultaneously? That would be pretty fun to see." Livia said.

"Wow, you… you look stunning!" James said to Lily, blinking several times.

"You look great!" Remus told Daniella, who blushed innocently.

"I'm going to cry if the author tells us how shy or innocent Daniella is again." Livia said.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that now Lily is dating James and I'm dating Daniella, none of our characters will ever be mentioned again." Remus said. "That is, unless 'C' suddenly needs a wing-woman or something."

Harris was at a loss for words. He stood there, gaping, until C grew impatient and asked him, "Shall we go in?"

He nodded, still unable to think with the amazing girl standing in front of him. She grabbed his arm and tugged him after her, aware that the ball had started and that they were late (the others, including Lily and Danielle had gone inside).

When she opened the doors, everyone turned and stared at her, all conversation dying immediately. All girls were green with envy at not looking as good as C, and all guys were wishing that they could be on her arm, like Harris currently was.

"I actually miss Sevella." Peter said. "At least she wasn't Sue-ish to this extent. This is, like, a whole new level of Sue-ness."

C blushed self-consciously, assuming that something was wrong with her outfit.

Remus groaned into his hands, sounding miserable.

The dancing resumed after a moment, and Harris went to get something to drink (he also went to clear his head, because he couldn't think when C was there).

"I don't even know what to say any more." Peter said. "I can't believe someone seriously wrote this."

"Carolyne… I mean, Jones." Said a male voice from behind her. C turned around to come face-to-face with Sirius Black. He was looking very handsome, by far the best-looking guy in the school (although she mentally slapped herself for thinking this – he was her enemy!).

"I bet they'll be dating before the chapter is over." James said.

"What do you want, Black?" She asked coldly, feeling uncomfortable as his gaze trailed over her body, then back to her face.

"To dance with you." He whispered in her ear. She shivered involuntarily, and let him guide her to the dancefloor.

As they swayed to the music, she registered that Sirius was a great dancer, at the same time as he realised the same thing about her.

"How would she know that I registered that? Or is it suddenly in a weird, duel-point of view?" Sirius asked.

The sexual tension in the air was so thick that she couldn't think straight.

"It's easy to tell us that, author, but the readers haven't really picked up on it from your writing." Livia said.

Sirius twirled her around, and pulled her back to him. They both realised that they were a lot closer than before – she could make out each individual shade of grey in his eyes, and he could do the same to her blue ones.

"I… I need to go," she told him, running from the room and out of the castle.

"She's so melodramatic." Lily said.

It was pouring with rain and she was instantly drenched, but it felt refreshing. She could finally think clearly, and what she was thinking was WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!

Lily burst out laughing. "It's all in capitals, and there's no italics to indicate that it's her thoughts, and there are about six question and exclamation marks. It's completely random." She explained when the others looked at her questioningly.

She was in such an intimate moment with her arch enemy, the boy she hated!

"C?" She heard him call from behind her. She wouldn't have turned, but he used her nickname. So, she turned around and saw him standing a couple of meters away from her, similarly drenched.

"Ooh, isn't it dramatic?" Peter said with fake eagerness.

"I'm sorry." He told her sincerely.

"For what?" She asked.

"Everything. Tormenting you through the years, making fun of you, everything."

"It's okay,

"Well, that was quick." Livia said.

it's not like I didn't give my best effort," she said.

"Yeah. You're brilliant, you know that?" He told her.

"This is all coming from nowhere." Sirius said. "Suddenly I'm in love with her, even though I hated her moments ago?"

"What?" She couldn't believe she was hearing this.

"I mean it. And you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. And, what I'm trying to say, is I like you. A lot."

"And this scene is really cheesy." Remus said, his voice muffled by his hands.

"I… I like you too." She realised in that second. It felt perfectly natural for her to say it.

"She completely forgot about hating him moments ago." Livia observed.

"And the reason I was so rude to you and why I kept on pranking you, is because I've always liked you, and I guess I was just trying to get your attention." He said. He walked closer to her, gripped her tightly and pressed his lips to hers. They kissed passionately, spilling all their emotions and words they couldn't say into the kiss.

"Eugh, I'm going to be contaminated by her Sue-germs." Sirius said. "Somebody save me!"

"And I think I'd find this moment a lot more meaningful if we'd have had any build-up to this point. Instead of spending ages discussing their outfits in such precise details, the author should have spent more time developing their relationship."

"I'm sorry too," C gasped out as Sirius kissed her neck, finding a point that was especially sensitive. "For everything." She lifted his head so that she could kiss him properly again, and he pressed her back against the willow tree they had taken shelter under.

"At least I'm a good kisser." Sirius said.

"Yeah, because obviously a Mary Sue wouldn't kiss someone who isn't hot, intelligent and totally flawless in every way. Everybody else is undeserving of her perfection."

"It would be rather hypocritical for me to not forgive you," he murmured against her mouth.

After kissing for a long time, Sirius hugged C closely, pressing their bodies together, panting for breath.

"I've never felt that way with anyone I've ever kissed… Even the people I like." He whispered, panting.

"The people I… like?" Sirius asked. "Does that mean I like someone else simultaneously?"

"Me, neither," she replied.

"I… I think I love you." He said, looking deeply into her blue eyes.

Remus began laughing into his hands.

"I think he's finally snapped." Sirius whispered loudly. "All this terrible writing was too much for him."

Remus looked up. "I can't believe how cliché, cheesy and annoying this entire scene is." He said. "And it makes me so sad that some poor, naïve girl might read this and think that this is what love is supposed to be like."

"I agree with you." James said. "Plus, they'll think that to be liked by guys, they have to be like 'C', since she's the most popular one from the group. And, while she might seem like a strong female protagonist at first glance, everything she's done so far has only resulted in guys liking her. We haven't even had any mention of her grades or her studying, aside from that one time the author said she mastered the spell perfectly. Everything else was always about her being popular and boys being into her."

"I… I love you, too. Forever."

"It's over." Lily said, sighing in relief. "Thank goodness."

NOTE FROM MEEEEE

"I kind of like it when the author includes a note." Peter said. "It makes you feel like you get to know them a little better."

(a.k.a. Caroline

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"She's basically admitting that 'Carolyn' is a self-inserted character. She didn't even bother changing her name." Remus said.

or FuzzyCauldronsInPink if you prefer!): I HOPE YOU LIKED THE STORY! I LOVED WRITING IT!oh and if u guys are interested, I have pictures of all the dresses on my profile!

"Why on earth would we have to look at pictures of the dresses after she described them so exactly?" Peter said.

My fave is C's – it's so sexy pretty and cool!)

"What a surprise." Livia said.

So for everyone that left me nice reviews: I LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOU'RE AMAZING!check ut my other stories, like "Diamond Letters" (that one is a longer one I started writing after this, because I missed the characters – espcecieally C!

"For some reason, I don't find that difficult to believe." Sirius said, rolling his eyes.

So it's a long story about the gang's years through hogwars=ts from year 1 to the war!

"What war?" Livia asked.

"Probably something the author made up to make our lives more dramatic." Sirius said, shrugging.

Check it out if you want more of c, Danielle, Sirius, Lily and james!)

"I will most definitely not 'check it out'." Lily said.

for everyone who left reviews about how C is a Jenna Sue

"Aha! So we aren't the only ones who think that." Remus said. "Though the author didn't even get it right."

or whatever: GO SCREW YOURSELVES!

"That's pretty mean…" James said. "Especially as we're telling the truth."

THIS IS MY STORY, I CAN WRITE IT HOWEVER I WANT TO! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ IT, EASY!1!11

"She's got a point, though." Peter said. "If she enjoys inserting herself into the story, why shouldn't she do that?"

"That's true, but she can't expect everyone to like what she writes. If she publishes it publicly, she should expect criticism." Remus said.

STOP BEING HATERS AND DRAGGING OTHER PEOPLE DOWN CUZ U HATE YOUR OWN LIVES, JUST GO TO THERAPY OR SOMETHING!

"Wow, that's extremely harsh." Sirius said. "She needs to calm down."

"And you guys aren't even seeing that this is written in all-capital letters and with a million exclamation marks." Lily said.

Okay love you guys (except the haters) and see you soon!

-Caroline xxxxxxxxxxxx

"And that's the end of that." Lily said.

"I feel… numb. I don't know if I'll be able to handle more bad writing." Remus said.

Peter cleared his throat. "My verdict as Peter The Fanfiction Guru is: it was terrible. Though the writing was, for the most part, not too bad, the over-description of outfits to the point that the audience was falling asleep; the obvious Mary Sue protagonist; the lack of relationship development for any couples; and the fact that I wasn't mentioned once, mean that I have to give it zero-point-five stars out of five."

"Well said, Peter. And don't worry, I wasn't mentioned either." Livia said.

"That makes me feel a little better," Peter admitted.

"Shall we forget about this rubbish story and read another one?" Sirius suggested.

"Do you even have to ask?" James replied as everyone agreed.

A/N: I am a terrible human being and I hope you guys can forgive me! So basically I had some problems with my Microsoft Word subscription, and, after that was sorted out, I had really bad writer's block, to the point of barely being able to look at this story. After a few months of not writing I had practically forgotten about it, when some of you wrote wonderful messages to me asking about updates. I want to thank everyone who did so, since you guys are the reason I started writing this again! And I forgot how fun this story is, haha XD I'm definitely inspired at the moment, and I'm planning on updating soon, because I love writing this again. So, once again, a big thank you to everyone who sent me those kind update-requests, this is for you guys! I'm back for realz!
