The whole conversation between Sirius and Remus had me giggling out loud. I think my parents are beginning to think I'm crazy. Hehe Severus. Lovely chapter.

Thanks! I love writing Remus-Sirius banter.

Oh, I had so wanted to know Remus' and Tonks' side of the snogging. LOL, I'm cracking up about the Order ladies ranking the men. Molly must have been so conflicted -- Remus or Bill? Though I can't believe Minerva didn't jump onto Remus' side. ;) Remus' reaction to that is so very cute. It's nice to see him revel in it a bit.

That's funny you should mention a "Previously in..." blurb -- I was just thinking about that yesterday when I eventually update my WIPs...It's a good idea, I think.

Thanks! I've had several requests for a fic about the tipsy Order ladies ranking all the men. I'll have to think about it. ;)

And thanks for the input on the "Previously" blurb. I've been considering it for a while, because I find that when I'm reading WIPs with long gaps between updates I have to go back to skim the last few chapters before I can read the new one, or I don't remember what's going on, which cuts into my already limited reading time. So since it was a personal peeve, I thought I'd solve the problem for my own readers. Maybe I'll start a trend. ;P

Loved the bit about the Order having a book open on when Remus and Tonks would get together... it's something that I can really see happening, to relieve the tension of all those Order meetings! The whole conversation between Sirius and Remus was really well done, capturing Remus's insecurities and Sirius's "full speed ahead" approach. Remus and Tonks actually getting together, Remus giving into instinct and Tonks's admission of how long she'd liked him... just so playful and charming, I loved it all.

And I'm just saying, should you ever wish to go back in the time and write the "Drunken Women of the Order rating the Men" fic, I, for one, would read and review!

Thanks. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it so much.

I might have to squeeze that "rating the men" fic in sometime, once I've gotten my post-DH bunnies out of my system.

Loved it. I especially liked the pool, and the ladies rating the men(I would've rated Sirius and Remus, but I expect it's different when you're actually living with the guy). Now I wanna read about that . . .

Thanks! Yours is the 3rd request for a "rating the men" fic. I'll have to squeeze that into my writing schedule.

Hee hee this was lovely! Just what ficland needs right now :) I loved this line Remus fidgeted some more. “She… kissed me back. And she fell off the front steps. And she wanted to skip her lunch appointment with her mum to stay here with me.” and the Remus/Sirius conversation from then on and all Remus' issues were really great! It was the same old stuff but it felt fresh. I like the way you presented Remus as a person with strong impulses that occassionally get the better of him but rational thought takes over when he's away from her - sets it up well for HBP, and I have amusing visions of him trying out for Quidditch. And the Order bet was genius, especially Snape. I liked R/T together at the party too, and awkward!Remus. :)
And I was just going to say, I LOVED the "previously in" blurb. It was brilliantly informative, saving me having to glance over chapter 1, since it's been a while. I think every multichaptered fic should have one!

Thanks! There's so much familiar ground to cover in R/T fic that it is a great compliment to hear I made it feel fresh.

And I'm glad to hear you liked the "previously" blurb. I know I wish most of the chaptered fic I read would have them, so I thought I'd try to start a trend. ;)
