Oh, Sirius, you have no idea.
I love the repetitions of the wedding scene. I know every girl dreams of her wedding day, but Danger takes it a bit far! By the time she finally gets to throw it (*fingers crossed*), she's going to be able to tell everyone exactly what they should wear, where they should dance, and generally be as bridezilla-esque as she pleases. Which is exactly what she deserves - control in her life would probably be very welcome at this point.
I truly love that you show Dumbledore learning things and making realizations - so many people leave that out of fics. You don't have him as a wicked meddler, or as a bumbling fool - somehow, he is that revered wise man, and yet still human. It's wonderful. I really like that Danger gives him a taste of how he seems to others. I like, too, how he speaks much more formally when he's nervous. It's those little pieces that make the Dangerverse such a living world for me.
I did think the Rita Skeeter pieces could be nastier. I guess maybe she got worse as she grew older.

Another poetic prophecy, which I also love. I almost expect it to be sung, but I know it's recited. Still very lyrical though.
Nope, Sirius, it won't be dull at all. :D
One tiny little thing. Since you're American, you wouldn't know this, but in Britain and Australia, what you call a "sandbox" is a "sand pit". Just a knitpicky little thing before I go on to the next chapter.

Outstanding. (: It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, this chapter.

I loved the end part of this chapter. It was great. I loved how you showed Sirius finally breaking down, and showed that he won't be able to just get through it without having an emotional breakdown, no matter how big. I really did like the part with Hermione in the morning though. I thought that was so funny how she thanked Sirius for changing her diaper. Anyways, great job!

OK, here are my guesses as to the identities of the young adults in the wedding party dream sequence.
1. redhead boy (Ron Weasley)
2. redhead girl (Ginny Weasley)
3. black-haired young man (Harry Potter)
4. the girl with brown curls (Hermione Granger)
5. the youngest girl, who was dark-complexioned, (Sirius & Althea's kid)
6. pale blond boy (Draco Malfoy)
7. brownish blond girl (friend yet to be met)
8. brown-haired boy (friend yet to be met)

You're quite good. I'll hint that we know the two last ones from canon.

More dreams, more Dumbledorian awesomeness, more cute cubs, more prophecies...this one's jam-packed!
Why do I feel that they should've gotten that front-page "SIRIUS BLACK ESCAPES FROM AZKABAN" article framed or something?

This bit of prophesy was harder to figure than the bit with Draco on Mama's back before she took Lucius with her, (the pearl was fairly obvious before as well).
I have just begun reading, a fetching tale thus far, I'd quite like to see the young'uns growing up. At any rate as I haven't read the whole thing don't come down on me to hard if this is already explained but why wouldn't everyone, during the first war with Voldemort, who had lost everything just try the curse of the righteous on him, there would even have been the possibility of doing it in large groups of the bereaved if power was an issue, and certainly it would have been righteous, the whole magical world could have come together as one and asked to take away his magic...just a thought.

No, it hasn't been explained, but it will be (around the end of fourth year, but I see no reason you can't know now). Voldemort, in the course of his life-expanding and dehumanizing activities, placed protections around his person and effects to keep them from being affected by long-range curses. Some of his minions may not have been so smart...

Ch.12 - - The interchange between Sirius and Neenie as they both woke was priceless - so Hermione-like given the age.
This was a very choice bit of writing:
"Danger rolled her eyes. Men! One-track minds!
Women! Everything hopelessly complicated!
Did we just delineate the battle of the sexes in eight words?
Yes, I believe we did."
