Interesting metaphors! (I totally wrote metamorph first!) I really liked the love bug one. Very cute to have Tonks acting more like an older sister to Ginny. Good work! :)

I loved the metaphors, and the tying it to the parental Tonkses. I also love that Ginny asked Tonks about that. It totally goes with the sister vibe they give off. :D

This is a really interesting narrative style, and I quite enjoyed it for this. The sisterly vibe toward Ginny is nice, and all the analogies were very cute. I really liked Tonks's optimistic and encouraging voice in this.

Nice job. :)

Great images here about snow and love, I liked it! I think the one-sided conversation worked great, too. Now I'm starting to wonder how Remus might use the snow metaphor... I bet he sometimes feels as if he's been hit by an avalanche!

I really liked the narrative voice, here, how it seems like Tonks is talking to herself as much as Ginny, and the way you wrote it was fresh and orignal. I really liked Tonks' analogies for love - that it's a bug that warms you from the inside just because that's what it does, and even her thoughts about snowy days were quite unsentimental, in a lot of ways, which is a nice change to read around Valentine's.

And I think I know who you are, too ;).
