Hi Margaret,

First of all, thank you for this wonderful immersion into, as it seems, the most pure, most literate form of the English language. I enjoyed every word, every sentence, reading them aloud, tasting your words with my mouth.

Sirius' fate was, without any doubt, the most tragic one in the whole range of the HP books. Condemned to rot away in Azkaban without a proper trial, without the possibility to defend himself, being yet another innocent victim to someone's political aspirations. His grief for his lost friends, his despair for his own misfortune is palpable in every sentence.

If it wasn't so tragic, I would've said it was a wonderful experience. Now I should rather say it is a masterpiece.

Slan leat,

Zoltan

Author's Response: Thank you so much for this review. I honestly don't know what to say. I reread the first paragraph a couple of times because I was so touched by your words.

The song is based on a real life situation rather like Sirius'. Having grown up, listening to that being debated, I guess I'm rather desensitised to a fictional version, but yes, what happened to Sirius is dreadful.

Thanks again for your kind words. They mean a lot to me. Go raibh mile maith agat agus slan leat.

Wow, that was really powerful. I love the idea, it's quite original. I'd never really thought before about how Sirius was in his time in Azkaban.

The story flowed really well, and I didn't get bored at all. It moved at a good pace, not too fast and not too slow. As far as I could see, there were no grammatical mistakes or things like that.

Over all, I loved this one shot. Well done!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for that review. I really appreciate it and I wish I could think of something more original to say because it's great to receive a review like this. I'm really glad you liked it.

Ever since I heard about songfics, I've been tempted to write one about Sirius with that song. The situations are so similar that I wonder if JK Rowling was actually thinking about the political events the song is based on when she created Sirius' situation. (Even the dates are pretty close.)

Anyway thanks again. I really do appreciate it.
