ice cream tended to function like emotional glue when you’d managed to break yourself.
That was just so true I had to mention that I loved it.
three pints of chocolate fudge ripple (she always added “of doom” in her head; it just sounded right)
I think that you have captured the personalities of most of my friends in that sentence. XD
(“But perfectly safe!” “…we think…”)
Congrats; you can write the Weasley twins!
(In compliance to the previous)Diagon Alley next
I thought that the twins' shop was in Diagon Alley?
“So,” she said. “How’s about them Cannons?”
“I believe they’re tanking,” he replied.
That had me in stitches, because my friend says that whenever there's a quiet spell at the lunch table. XD
If only you could extract it with tongs (which was a bit like Tonks; clearly, it was destiny)
That was just effing hilarious!
You’ve reached Remus Lupin, miserable, fading, pathetic man that he is, and if you’re inexplicably feeling inclined to leave this wreckage a message, please do so after the phone beeps at you like a censored cuss word
I'm not sure whether to laugh or to *wibble*
Damn, Remus thought distantly. I like this shirt.
Clearly, Remus has his priorities in order at this moment. XD
Tonks had him Stupefied before he could bat a crusty eyelash.
Lovely imagery, that. *shudder*
this strange, off-kilter, vastly intelligent, desperately witty, unexpectedly beautiful man
YOU HAVE JUST SUMMED UP REMUS IN THE CAPACITY OF ONE SENTENCE! *in awe*
“Dear God, it speaks?”
I don't know why, but that cracked me up.

Ice cream fixes a lot of problems. Chocolate ice cream fixes even more. 8D
I would buy a carton of "Chocolate Fudge Ripple of Doom" ice cream in a second. XD
I'm glad you liked the Weasley cameo! :D They don't usually end up in my fics, but they're sort of intrinsically fun, and I love the idea of Tonks being practically the other Weasley sister. XD And WHOOPS -- you're totally right! XD Wizarding Wheezes is definitely in Diagon Alley... I had Hogsmeade in my head and was too silly to look it up -- would have saved me a transition line about going from Hogsmeade to Diagon for the junk shop, too... XD
Oh, my gosh, does she really? XD That's hilarious! My boyfriend says "How about them Yankees?" every time we run out of stuff to talk about, so it was my automatic reaction. XD
This isn't the first time Remus has decided to be a little bit bitter and a little bit resigned, and I'm glad you liked it. :]
...He is a very fashion-forward gentleman. Or not. :P
Hee, I definitely picture him as the "Oh, my HEAVENS!" sort. XD
Thank you oh-so very much! ^^ *hugs*
