Sirius grinned. “Alright, you pass. What’s your name again?”

“Clancy Goshawk.”

“And I’m...”

“Sirius Black,” she finished for him.

“I love when people do that,” remarked Sirius. “I feel famous."

  1. Yay another excerpt! :D I love the Clancy and Sirius interaction (and all these excerpts).

    ReplyDelete
  2. I believe I've said this before, but I just can't make it clear enough: ALL OF THE HUGS IN ALL OF THE WORLD FOR SIRIUS AND EVERYTHING HE IS.

    (also, so many excerpts!)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Not that I'm complaining, but I feel as though we're getting so many excerpts that you might as well just post the chapter ;)

    ReplyDelete
  4. Haha, typical Sirius. Gotta love him <3

    ReplyDelete
  5. oooh...you are posting so many excerpts, Jules :D cant say im complaining!

    ReplyDelete
  6. What year is Clancy in?

    ReplyDelete
  7. It's the 29th. The end of the month approaches. No news on when the update will be? ^.^

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yes, when are you updating? (This weekend would suit me...)

    ReplyDelete
  9. In honor of the royal wedding, can we get a tiny excerpt from the future when James and Lily are together? Because as big and celebrated as the royal wedding was (gorgeous dress) I would rather see James and Lily get hitched. I'd get up at 5 am to see that.

    ReplyDelete
  10. You guys I love being British. Such a happy, beautiful day. Anyways, I'm over that euphoria and back to my Number 1 couple and begging Jules for an update. This weekend? (Fingers crossed).

    ReplyDelete
  11. Sirius, Will you please run away with me forever and ever?

    ReplyDelete
  12. ^^^ I hated the dress. I thought she looked a decorated toilet roll...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Im just going to bed after a whole day of watching the Royal Wedding! It was gorgeous! Diana would have been so proud and it breaks my heart because she should have been there...

    Anyway, i am now officially in love with Prince Harry. Just saying! :D

    ReplyDelete
  14. EEEEEEEE! (i love when people do that too, Sirius. You never fail at making me love you though)
    I cannot contain my excitement for this chapter :)))

    That's cause you are famous, Sirius dear.

    ReplyDelete
  17. WHY U NO UPDATE JULESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    ReplyDelete
  18. Me likey this excerpt, btw.

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Nina: You've been added to the map!

    And when things calm down I'll go back to the post where everyone declared teams and I'll put them all on the map. Things have been a bit crazy but I swear I'll put them up!

    As for the excerpt, I LOVE Sirius. Jules, you make it increasingly more difficult for me to just give up on men and love Sirius for eternity.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I LOVE SIRIUS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. So much love for Sirius!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. news on any updates? the end of the month is here...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, Sirius. You devilishly charming marauder, you.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Something super exciting happened today! I met a guy named James who is studying abroad here from England and he had messy brown hair and glasses! He didn't look exactly like I picture my James, but he was pretty damnn close. Anyways, I knew you guys would understand how meeting him made me so excited!

    ReplyDelete
  25. *Sigh* I am still awaiting my Hogwarts Letter. But in the event that my Acceptance Letter was sent by Errol, or, *cringe* it is forever lost, I hope to one day be as fortunate as you Ellie, to meet a man as crazy about Harry and James Potter as I am; looks and all. *Sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Ellie a picture ! a picture ! ^^

    ReplyDelete
  27. Jules, Y U No Post?!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm so jealous of you Ellie.

    ReplyDelete
  29. He is leaving to go back to England in a week, though, so that's really sad :(

    Is it illegal to post somebody's facebook pictures on another website?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Don't know,you could give us the name and we can look by ourselves

    ReplyDelete
  31. Lulz yeah. Post the pic Ellie!! And Jules! I'm dying! When is the update cuz it's the end of the month now...

    ReplyDelete
  32. OMG I live in England. Does he live near Nottingham (that's where I'm from)? And recently I dyed my hair red and we might meet and get married. I would totally send you all pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @ 1046 , that would be awesome ^^ you'd have to call your first born Harry

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think posting his name would be worse than a picture. I don't now what the privacy laws regarding these things are (and they might depend on where you are)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ya that seems like it would be an invasion of his privacy...

    ReplyDelete
  36. well then a picture without a name ! it's not worse than paparazzi picture

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG, LOL. Poor guy, if only he knew we are talking about him like this... but I want to see him also!

    ReplyDelete
  38. He secretly follows TLAT and is reading this and laughing at us all

    ReplyDelete
  39. Which is all the more impressive since he hasn't been identified

    Can I just point out the irony of anonymous requesting his name be posted on here

    ReplyDelete
  40. Haha Laura, well James if you are please introduce yourself and send a picture ;)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Update soon.. ?

    ReplyDelete
  42. It's been a month. Please, please update?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree. Would you pretty please update soon..? *.*

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ellie, I am so jealous, post a link to his facebook please?

    ReplyDelete
  45. His name is Sam Whitwicky!!
    ;D

    ReplyDelete
  46. Has anyone seen Starship yet? (:

    ReplyDelete
  47. Guys, let's not bother her. She's probably working on it right now.
    ...Right?
    RIGHT?
    *crickets chirping*
    lol@ Sarah haha- that is pretty ironic. And hilarious.

  48. "If you don't go out there, and die for something, then I will kill you for nothing." I LOVE LAUREN LOPEZ.

  50. I definitely have a 5,000 word essay due Wednesday which I have yet to start writing (its now 1.30am Sunday night/Monday morning) However, if an update comes through between now and then there won't be any competition in my priority list

    ReplyDelete
  51. Anyone watch the new Doctor Who? Theories?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Tomorrow (or today for most of the world) is the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. :O

    ReplyDelete
  53. Okay, I know this is probably totally wrong in so many ways, but his name is James Lewis and he is from Panfield, Essex, UK (according to his facebook)... stalk away, ladies :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Slash does anybody have a place where I could post a picture? I was stalking him AND I FOUND A PICTURE OF HIM DRESSED UP IN A HP COSTUME. I AM DEAD.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I went to a Starship screening and MET LAUREN LOPEZ! AND JOE MOSES! I got pics with the cast and I'm so happppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    Hope there is a new post soon :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Jules has posted a oneshot. It's called 'Snaps'. My throat hurts from sqeeing OMG.GO.READ. !!! :DDD

    ReplyDelete
  57. And in world news: May 2nd is an epic day in (both real and fictious) history. Voldemort and Osama defeated.

    *fist pump*jumps in the air*

    ReplyDelete
  58. ^YEUH.
    And everyone go read 'Snaps'. And review. Fucking amazing...

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'd love to see a scene where James explains to Lily the real reasoning behind Snaps once they're dating....was this always part of the story or just a moment of inspiration?

    ReplyDelete
  60. aaww!! too cute! <3 it!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Wait, where might Snaps be??!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  63. Goodness, "Snaps" was phenomenal!! I also agree with Sarah - I do hope that James reveals his logic during an intimate moment of dating - and / or the reason they begin dating!!

    We also have yet to hear of any proof that Jules has not forgotten her blog. . . but whatever she may be doing / writing, I hope she is ok.

    (For her sake, as well as for the sake of her numerous TLAT readers. :D)

    ReplyDelete
  64. loved "Snaps" I nearly cried like 5 times and by the end I was muttering obscenities at James for not being real....

    ReplyDelete
  65. Read and loved it. I never really liked the "gingersnaps" explanation. Personally, I thought it was a bit of a cop-out. I had originally that it was in reference to Lily's behavior towards James - she's always "snapping" at him and making "snap" judgements. But this is much better than that. Oh, how I love this James. Also, makes you think that every time he calls her by it, he is reminded of his feelings for her. And that despite his feelings towards/for The Puppy-Killer, Lily is still the only one to make his heart "snap". Lots of Love, y'all!

    ReplyDelete
  66. So...I've been looking through the rec'ed L/J stories that has been compiled. I've got one to add that I've loved for years. "Kissing the Enemy" by czarina-kathryn (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2431243/1/Kissing_the_Enemy). Read it, love it, share it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. argh there are sooooo many James Lewis on facebook

    ReplyDelete
  68. James calls her Snaps when he is dating Carlotta !
    Shippers Unite !

    ReplyDelete
  69. Which is awesome, though Jules say this wasn't planned all along...but now he better continue to call her Snaps

    ReplyDelete
  70. How strange! I'm from the UK (pretty near Essex too - north London) and one of my best mates is called James Lewis! He also wears glasses... He is no James Potter though and I happen to know he's definitely in the UK right now haha

    ReplyDelete
  71. YES! James better continue calling Lily Snaps. (: Poor Carlotta.

    ReplyDelete
  72. For some reason, there are no results for James Lewis in Panfield, UK. :/

    ReplyDelete
  73. It's quite sad ^^

    ReplyDelete
  74. he's probably made it so he doesn't appear in the search.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Maybe he HAS been reading this

    ReplyDelete
  76. there are hundreds of James Lewis

    ReplyDelete
  77. Jules, post an excerpt in memory of Colin, Tonks, Remus, Fred, and Snape?

    ReplyDelete
  78. no, post a chap. I don't know of a better day to do so than Harry Potter day and voldemort's deathday.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Maybe that's why Jules disappeared... she's been working SO HARD on the chapter and will surprise us all!!! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  80. She's probably just busy with her job and studies. I'm not sure about colleges, but in general, it's in the end where the schools give us the most homeworks.

    ReplyDelete
  81. They don't call it dead week for nothing. Kat, I assure you the last week before exams in college is the most intense. As much as I love LAT, real life and school should always come first

    ReplyDelete
  82. You know, I really don't see Karen Gillan as Lily. I mean, yes, she's got the legs, but really, guys don't fall over a girl just for her legs! Plus, they say Lily was stunning and I don't think Karen is beautiful enough to be Lily, quite honestly. She has cute model pictures and stuff but...no.
    I think Lily should have GORGEOUS eyes- beautiful, sexy ones, cuz, you know, that's her best feature or whatever.
    Sure, Carlotta is the fittest girl, but I don't think Lily is far behind if not even just as pretty.
    Maybe I'm just being defensive. *shrugs*

  84. I kind of agree with you, though, 8:27. But that pic that I created there is how I picture Lily-flower. Well...I squint to block out the imperfections of 'paint'.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Oh, shit sorry, you can't even see the pic. Oops.

    the perfect Lily eyes

    ReplyDelete
  88. @9:11 I cant see that picture

    ReplyDelete
  89. Karen Gilian seems perfect for the sweet and sensible LaT Lily, she isn't stunning but she's really lovely.

    BTW, I hope I'm not the only canadian there completely pissed at the fact that Stephen Harper got reelected.

    I find this to be a beautiful possible representation of Lily!! (Omitting the green eyes.)

    ReplyDelete
  91. http://sterlingwolf.tumblr.com/
    coming out of anonymity (is that spelled right?)
    Anyways...I love those eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Wtf? Karen isn't stunningly beautiful, now? What is wrong with you guys? If you don't think that Karen is gorgeous, then who the hell do you think is? There aren't that many super-attractive red-haired celebrities out there to choose from... and of those there are, Karen is by far the prettiest.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I think Karen is very pretty, but I'm okay with those who don't think so.
    However, I don't think she's Lily. She's too cute for Lily. Being cute is not a bad thing it's just not my opinion of Lily. Plus WHY MUST we find an actor/model/real person for Lily? I think it's awesome that's she this special idea in my head.

    ReplyDelete
  94. @ STerling Wolf : amazing eyes !

    ReplyDelete
  95. http://sterlingwolf.tumblr.com/

    Personally, I think that ^ would be the perfect eye color for Lily. I think Karen is a really good representation for Lily, though I wish her hair were a bit darker

    ReplyDelete

  97. Seriously. C'mon. It's been a month! Give us a chapter, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  98. No, no agree with you guys- Karen is very lovely. She's just not the Lily in my mind...I completely agree with Jenn, though.

    ReplyDelete
  99. People asking for a update,

    ReplyDelete
  103. Hmm, Jules has been suspiciously quiet this weekend...perhaps Jumbldore is an elite SEAL and has been rather busy recently...

    All joking aside, Jules, your writing is awesome, take your time, we'll be here when it's posted

    ReplyDelete
  104. What do you guys think of Darby Stanchfield for Lily? Just give her green eyes and I think she's pretty perfect.

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  110. I like Darby Stanchfield, esp in this picture

    I'm not finding a great picture online, but I think Graham Phillips could be a potential James, more bc of a scene in the Good Wife than from this picture, but he's got the hazel eyes...plus, he's actually the right age

    ReplyDelete
  111. Wow, he's gorgeous...

    ReplyDelete
  135. @Jenn: Oh yes, that is true. Toast goes so well with Bacon -- in fact, it is the perfect pairing. (Hehe this reminds me of a Ch. 32 non-spoiler: Lily has toast and bacon [as well as fruit] for breakfast.)

    ReplyDelete
  136. Dropping in for a moment to add:
    Toast and bacon are destiny; they belong together, and other, morally questionable pieces of toast can just go and be in its own universe and stop trying mess with the perfection that is toast and bacon.

    ReplyDelete
  137. @Jenn: Shit. I just got owned. Nice pokemon reference, btw.

    Well, I see your jump attack and raise you a punch in the face!

  138. Hi Jules!! Can we expect a new post on your blog, just to check in, and tell us how you're doing? (And only if you wish - to tell us of your progress for the next chapter. :) :)

    It's getting a little lonely on your blog without you. :)
