A Question

[ladyzenobia.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but since I came across the topic here, I thought it would be appropriate.

I was reading oryx_leucoryx's wonderful GoF chapter commentary and it was mentioned that Bellatrix/the Lestranges managed to talk their way out of Azkaban before attacking the Longbottoms. This is actually something I've come across before on various forums and when reading theories, but I can't find anything about it in the books. I tried looking for old interviews and it isn't mentioned there either as far as I can tell. So I was just wandering, how do you know this? I'd be very grateful if someone gave me a quote or something :)

Also, this is my first post here, so I'm sorry if I've made some grave error.

The Jame's and Sirius' reaction was then - Cool! Lets do it again. Which is the kind of dangerous, thrill seeking behavior often seen in teenage boys.

It's more like James could handle a very dangeous situation on his own. The two of them together should have no problems to control the werewolf.
Another mistake I think Sirius - following Padfoot's instincts - makes is that he thinks of Lupinwolf as a normal canine, an animal like himself rather than a Dark creature. Real wolves usually act submissive to large dogs and avoid contact with men. Without other humans around Lupinwolf probably does too.
