Wow! This is great. At first I thought that Peter had the upper hand. Now it seems that Daisy caught him and really worked him over when he tried to get away at Godricks Hollow. I'm so glad that Sirius got his trial and was found innocent. Now Peter has proven himself guilty. Very well done. Thanks for writing. pms

A truely wonderful story, original in almost every detail, about how the whole issue(s) which JKR spun into seven books about endless child abuse (IMO) should have been handled. Well done, and a very nice ending to the whole thing.

Nice bit of slight of hand done for the trail. Thanks for sharing!

Damnit; I'd have liked more, but you seem to have only been using this to get over writers block…

Kokopelli replied:

75k words, putting out a chapter a week I would argue is a little more than a palate cleansing exercise.  I write for fun, not for profit, I have a job, and I have a life - so I'm not going to bang out 200k words in two months.  There is another chapter after this one.

yes, I have been following this also. It's been quite enjoyable. very AU, which is great, since it takes things off in different directions.

I think Alice is a bit calm about becoming a widow. but she is a total unknown, so you can write her as a "in control" person if you like.

Kokopelli replied:

If I were writing a longer piece I'd have more time for Alice to be on-screen about widowhood, but she's a mum, and mums have to keep it together for the children.

Can he keep her? (Sirius > Daisy) Thinking about it, it's more, Can he keep from being hers? :D

Problem with the following: " Checking his watch, Remus figured that Alice would be in the room she used for tutoring, most likely with Daisy as the student. He led Remus to the kitchen where he made a pot of tea and then they brought tea service to the tutoring room. " I think you meant Sirus in place of the second Remus.

...

Holy Crap that was Fantastic! Just an Epi left or, and I'm hoping for this option, will there be more?

Kokopelli replied:

At least one chapter to go after this.

All going swingingly.

Yeah, that's when you should start worrying.

Excellent chapter! I was surprised at the turn the capture took, and how Pettigrew was used. Dumbledore seems to be off his game; he is usually portrayed as having far more control and not making silly / minor mistakes. One wonders if he has already started to lose control.

Thank you for the chapter.

Kokopelli replied:

Right, the same Dumbledore who didn't recognize that Alstor Moody was being impersonated, or that the petrifications were being done by a Basilisk?

Some interesting twist and a fun little reversal. I was almost hoping it was Peter in the end, who managed to get himself immunity and free Sirius at the same time. Would have been one hell of a change.

Kokopelli replied:

While that would make for an interesting story, the point of the trial was to get Sirius safely into the courtroom and then pin it all on Peter.  Your scenario would be clever, but Peter would know that Sirius would hunt him down sooner or later.

I wonder which of the females in the pack will take to mothering Harry like he is her won pup, Maud or Daisy? I love it that Sirius was claimed and doesn't realize it yet...but he will when Daisy decides she is wanting his attention.

Kokopelli replied:

No mother needed - he's living with Alice, who is raising Neville and Harry as fraternal twins.  Now, as to crazy aunts and uncles, I think the pack could do nicely.

Think of an older Daisy interrogating future girlfriends...

So is Dumbledore upset at the matters with out reading them. Or that the Remus, Alice, and Sirius got one over on him that he didn't want to have happened? good chapter.

Kokopelli replied:

Dumbledore got out-maneuvered.

Kairan1979 posted a comment on Thursday 20th July 2017 4:55pm for Chapter the Seventh

Once again Sirius and company underestimated Peter. I'm relieved Daisy was there to stop him from escaping.

Nice prank with 'Peter' asking for Immunity.

Kokopelli replied:

Peter is another under-developed character, but I have zero desire to write a story for him.

ooohhhh that was brilliant what a fantastic prank, love it thanks and more when you can pretty please

Kokopelli replied:

The courtroom prank was one of the anchors for this story as I started to scratch out the outline.

Great inrigue and a nice ploy with Peter.

Lots of illusions.

Hmm. This isn't going where I think it is? Because I think it is going to an Alice/Remus paring, which would be AWESOME for Neville and Harry. Maybe you mean the apparent Daisy/Sirus paring? 'Cause I think she is a Black - that is why she was dropped at the manor.

This chapter also seemed a bit hazy on timing - the cut scenes between the manor, Rufus' work and the Pettigrew capture seem off somehow.

Well done - I appreciate the effort and time. Thank you!

Kokopelli replied:

I don't have the desire to write 200k word stories any more (I have a life, this is a hobby) so of necessity, I'm not filling in all the gaps and using a lot of narrate-to-action to carry the story.

Looking good !

Daisy and the Werewolves would be a good name for a rock group.

Daisy definitely belongs in the story. Was Wormtail with the Weasleys when he was summoned. If so, will they be told who Scabbers was and be in Harry's and Neville's lives much sooner than canon?

Kokopelli replied:

Peter was not hanging with the Weasleys in this story.  Ron will not be able to worm into Harry's life in this universe - he'll be raised with a mother and a brother and will be a very, very different Harry Potter.
