Thanks so much for commenting! I may come to regret these rash words, but I am fairly optimistic that I'll be updating again sometime next month. (I know it's pitiful that I think that's a quick update, but such is life...)

And I'd be happy to think of this as a Sirius fic! ;)

[Edited because I meant to also say:]
i must say that i enjoyed hermione's line about prejudiced peer reviewers, lol

LOL! But I was thinking more about editors than peer reviewers -- the Institute for Magizoology was the first job Remus got sacked from after Hogwarts in my ficverse (that was in Letting It Matter), and I've decided his old boss there has risen to be the journal's editor now... Yes, I am a personal-backstory geek.
