Ouch. This hurts. But in a delightful way.

And, if it makes you feel better, I'm having trouble with this prompt, too.

Thank you! The prompt certainly *seemed* simple. I mean, there's so much you can do with a nondescript dirt road lined with trees. I got my idea down pretty quickly, too. It was just writing the darn thing that made me want to beat my computer with a stick :)

Oh. Poor Remus. *sniffle* I like seeing him with Andromeda, though, instead of all alone like he is in most fics during this time.

I've always thought that the news of Sirius's "betrayal" had saddened Andromeda a great deal, since the two shared a similar history of Black family exile. It also makes me terribly depressed to think that Remus had literally *no* other friends outside of the Marauders that would keep in touch with him after LV's downfall.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oooh, I like this. Very sad, but I liked Andromeda's presence a lot.

Thank you so much! I like to imagine that Andromeda and Sirius were close when they were younger, and I'm still a bit disappointed that we didn't hear any more about her in HBP :)

This is so good in a very painful way.

Your Andromeda is lovely, aged and imperfect, and yet with a spark of a glorious past. Remus it... Heart breakening. A very good piece, for such a sad period.

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. I'm happy Andromeda worked for you - she was much harder to write than I originally thought she'd be.

Have to agree with everyone else - would LOVE to see more of your Andromeda! She's lovely and very unique from a lot of the other Andromedas I've seen in fic. I particularly love the way you contrast her at eighteen with her now - it's a very graceful change, and really lovely.

It's strange what just a few tough years can do to a woman. Thanks so much for reviewing :)
