It was the happiest Christmas of my life.
Aah! Evan is back! How evil he is, typical Slytherin... Wow, your romance writing is so great (as I've known since the first one I read, just thought I'd tell you again ;) ), it's refreshing after all the angsty and dark novels I've been reading, hehheh. Brilliant, can't wait for the one shot. Sorry I'm so late, again!
Author's Response: Yay for me being an antidote to dark and angsty! LOL Not that I don't read them from time to time, I just make sure there's romantic moments to lighten the darkness, and a happy ending. (and I don't mean the fluffy wedding kind, although there's nothing wrong with that, heh) Hey, I'm thrilled to see your review whenever life gives you time to submit it! Thanks! ^_^
Yay! Great chapter! Yeah you were right, I thought "crap crap crap!!!" with capital C's, but the end was really sweet. Her going to Evan was very scary. Heh, reminds me of a movie... Anyway, happy Valentine's day, and I don't speed read fics, just the author's notes, lol ;) ...10!!!
Author's Response: Well, I was going to share my Valentine's Day....moment by moment...next week in the A/N, but now? Forget about it! LOL :D Btw, what movie?
Yayayayay for sequels!! Awww, it's so sweeet! Good times, good times, lol, I hope they never end.... The romantic side to me is pleased, again, hehe :D
The cliffie made a good end to the chapter. And the start was brilliant, hehe, interesting idea! I like it, in spite of its creepyness... Any reason why she was called Igraine? I'm just curious.
"She continued in a manner that was crisper than the salad on the tea sandwiches" I like that, lol! Anyways, 10!
Author's Response: It was my King Arthur homage, lol. Sometimes you hear a name and think 'if I ever get the chance I'm using it in a story'. That was it. ^_^ Mum's can be very frosty or crispy, can't they? :D Thanks so much for the 10!
Wow, that's brilliant! For some reason I thought of Remus as more of a cello person, but violin works just as well, especially with Hermione. It looks like both you and her have talent! I love the style, it's very expressive. Keep going! ^_^
Author's Response: Thanks! LOL, I can completely see Remus playing cello. He seems like a stringed instrument person in general. :D
Oh my gosh! I play the viola too! Such a rare thing. What a coincidence. Heh, sorry about that. Yes, you did describe the playing of music on a string instrument incredibly well!
Author's Response: ^^; I\'d love to be able to play! I love the sound of violas. They\'re so full in tone and resonance.
Yay! Loved it! So does Remus still remember the 'woman in red?' He must surely realise now it was Tonks ^_^ heheh, she was in white, well partly, for Remus in ch. 10 of A Wolf in the Moonlight... Anyway, I liked how you kept the humour and their vivid personalities along with the angst, and showed both of their emotions about their dates even though it was only Remus' pov. I can just imagine the fancy restaurant and Tiffany, heh. Evan is evil yet attractive as usual! :D 10!
Author's Response: At the end of Ch. 12 she jogs his memory, lol. Thanks for enjoying the humour and personalities. I'm glad you can see Evan's attractive qualities. I'm sure dealing with his Slytherin ways makes Tonks appreciate Remus more! ^_^
Some people spend a lifetime searching for someone they can love with all their heart. Sirius and Cami found love and wait only for that special kiss...and a moment like this.
Lol, Sirius would cannonball! I loved it, his character was well done. He would have been different when he was younger, but it's been a while, as he said! I like the way it comes directly out of A Wolf in the Moonlight, like a deleted scene. All authors should do that! :D I'm curious to read the MWPP Sirius story, that would be fun, and Remus would be in it too ^_^ .
Author's Response: Very much so, and Sirius calls him various names like \"Professor Lupin\" and \"Friar Moony\", lol, but Remus holds his own, because although he\'s a gentleman, he\'s a Marauder too! ^_^ So glad you loved it- even if a story can be read alone, like you said, the \"deleted scene\" aspect adds to the enjoyment! Thanks for adding greatly to my enjoyment this morning! ^_^
It's definitely a good thing to be a romantic! ^_^ Hehe.
Author's Response: Takes one to know one! (and that\'s a very good thing too!)
April showers bring May...hassles? Bridesmaid blues and big trouble from small favours complicate Tonks' life when all she wants is to bring her love for Remus into full bloom.
Very sweet, and very funny! Sounds like a wonderful story :) Thanks for writing more! Have fun!
Author's Response: If writing wasn\'t fun, I probably wouldn\'t do it, lol. Thanks!
Aww, sweet! :)
It's not often you find friends like Jan; Tonks is lucky! Loved the drama at the dinner. ^_^
Author's Response: Good friends, great partner, if I didn\'t like her so much, lol. :D
Yay! Poor Bill, haha, imagine the embarassment! I love this story, it's so sweet :D
Why was it a ferret? Very interesting.
Yaaay Remus with long hair... :)
Author's Response: Longish hair, lol. I leave it up to reader imagination the exact length. :D The ferret keeps them on their toes, heh.
Dinner with Mrs. C sounds great! Hehe. Wonderful, this chapter had everything I could ask for including fluff, yay, and a good thickening plot, because fluff without plot is just not as good! I feel happy for Tom and Julia, but they will take a bit more time, sigh.
I wonder what Johnny Depp as Remus would be like? It's a little weird, but he is very versatile... I can't really imagine it heh.
Author's Response: I can imagine Johnny as Sirius, but not Remus- I think he\'d be too depressing, like his Victor role in Corpse Bride, lol.

Author's Response: Fluff without plot is like a tumbleweed rolling aimlessly across the motorway in your mind. It\'s there, it\'s gone, LOL
Whoops, double post :)
Author's Response: The more the merrier! :D
Yay, compass! That was cool. And the troll. I think I would react with a little more alarm than they did, but they must be used to it hehe. Nice Sirius story too! Oh yeah, and Evan was quite funny with the little remarks every now and again.
Romance novels... Sigh, I admit to having used to read Georgette Heyer books! :-)
Reading reviews because I'm bored... Yay Jack Skellington, I love that movie! I have quite a lot of merchandise, the coolest by far being a t-shirt reading, "Jack is my boyfriend! (He's to die for)" ^_^
Author's Response: What\'s wrong with Georgette Heyer! The Grand Sophy is a fab novel! She wrote ruthlessly handsome men- Slytherins? :D
I\'ve never seen that Jack shirt! I\'ll have to look for it. He definitely has more \'life\' than Victor in Corpse Bride- oh, the irony!
Hey, sorry I havn't been online in ages! School can be so annoying. But that does mean I have a nice collection of things to read now, yay.
The Rite of Spring... I love that piece! It blows your mind out. Heh. I love the Firebird too.
Aw, I wish I could morph. It would save me much embarassment! I blush badly, among other things. I liked this chapter, nice twist with the Veritaserum. And they threatened to kill Julia? That is scary!
Author's Response: Tom\'s been under stress, lol, but it sounds like you have too, with the end of school. Blushing is a two-edged sword, isn\'t it? Charming and embarassing at the same time. Sigh.
*Gasp* Death! They won't die... But I know who will! Nooo! :'(
Aww, I feel so sorry for Tom. Tonks is sweet! I like your dialogue, it's very real.
Yay Faramir! He looks very nice with short hair. Viggo Mortensen is great with long hair too. I watched Pride & Prejudice the other day, it's so sweeeet! Warm and fuzzy, like your Tonks and Remus. Heheh, romantics have so much more fun... Colin Firth is very cute but I can't imagine him in HP, LOL. Nice chapter! Au revoir...
Author's Response: Tom thanks you, heh, and yay for romantics having more fun! Colin would be an interesting professor, or WB could do a 180 and instead of casting people who aren\'t as good looking as their fictional counterparts....offer Colin the Sturgis Podmore part! :D :D :D (me, lmao)
Heheh, speaking of Colin Firth, Evan reminds me of Daniel Cleaver from Bridget Jones' Diary a little bit... But only a bit!
Author's Response: The self absorption and the cheating-doesn\'t-mean-I-don\'t-love-you attitude? :D
Loved it! Lol at the quizzes, and the 'drawing'... Scotland sounds fun :)
Alan Rickman has a very nice voice... Love Actually springs to mind :( I feel sad for him now! Oh well, I will go and read the next chapter. Looking forward to it!
Author's Response: I felt sad for Emma Thompson, expecting a necklace and getting a bloody CD! I did think the airport scene did not bode well for the couple. They need therapy! LOL Thanks!
Cliffhanger! But still, aww, sweet ^_^ Altogether now, one, two, three, AWWW!
Heheh.
Anyway, I think the poems fitted in absolutely perfectly! Poor Tonks. Creepy, shudder!
Sigh, perfect Remus...
Author's Response: Remus....the panacea for life\'s ills. :D I\'m so glad you liked the poems. Yay!
