Gluttony: Fanfiction :: Indulge Yourself!

Name: ginwannabe (Signed) · Date: 25/08/2008 12:23 am · Chapter: Remus Lupin: Choices

It's obvious you've given Remus a lot of thought. You really seem to have gotten inside his head. The way you have him wanting to be good as compensation for this evil thing inside him. If he just tries hard enough he might overcome the evil. In essence he did, and in the process lost his life. You've given an excellent reason for Remus to have gone back to Hogwarts to teach. Not only is it an opportunity he's always wanted, but it's a chance for him to do some good in the world. Loved it!

Author's Response:
Hi!
Yes, I really have given this chapter a lot of thought. Remus is my favorite character and I've written about him a lot, so it was quite the challenge to find the right Defining Moment for him. :D
And yes, I've always seen Remus as having some kind of motivation that kept him going. He had an incredibly hard life and it definitely took a lot of courage and will power to go through it the way he had --- with kindness and grace. He could have easily turned bitter as Snape or choose the easier way of turning into a bloodthirsty maniac like Greyback, but he decided to stay faithful to himself and try to overcome the evil inside him. He decided to be human in the eyes of the world.
I'm so happy you liked the story and thank you so much for your review. It's greatly appreciated. :)

I love how you took such a minor character, probably the most minor character that we get just the tiniest glimpse of in the last book, and in one chapter manage to give us a well developed character that captured not only my interest, but my sympathy as well. That's no easy feat and you did it beautifully. You gave us a reason for why she teaches Muggle Studies, and why she put forth the effort write the letter to the Daily Prophet on behalf of Muggles. Great chapter, very well done!

This is such a great insight into Little Luna. I loved the small details you added, from her mother calling her Lu Lu, and her father calling her Moonshine, to her mother's name being Sol. The Sun & Moon in Xeno's life. I think you came up with a plausible explanation for her mother's death, and Luna's reaction to it. She stays in character throughout, which is no easy task!

I love how you went into Percy's history and helped to explain why it was so difficult for him to come back home after he realized he had been wrong. I found the way you brought Aberforth into the picture very plausible and helped to explain why he contacted Percy to tell him the battle was waging. Great job as usual.
