I liked this a lot, especially the way you slowly reveal who wrote the comments in the book. =) And the chapter titles made me laugh; I kept hoping there'd be more. =D

Oh, this was really sweet. I loved the opening, what Halloween has meant in the past, and how Remus slowly comes to realise that the reason he feels better this year is Tonks. It was a really nice tie-in with the ending, the idea of taking a chance, too.

I thought this was a really enjoyable read. I am quite sorry it wasn't Sirius who'd had a bad wax experience, though, because the thought of him getting waxed really amused me, for some reason, lol.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. I can't imagine what poor Remus thinks about Halloween. Bad day!

I agree with you- the idea of Sirius getting waxed is *quite* brilliant. I may have to write an outtake, lol.

Thanks again!

Oh, this is fun! I really like the surprise twist -- so it wasn't Sirius who left the book, after all... I also like the way you've made the book something Remus knew about from his friends years ago, rather than assuming that when we saw it in DH, it was some new thing Ron had picked up becuse it was trendy. ;) And the way the margin notes kept being perfect responses to Remus's thoughts was just great. Your Tonks is a nice mix of bold, shy, and hopeful, and I like the way Remus has never even considered that she might like him.

I sort of imagined the book as one of those really old books that got handed down from father to son. Maybe the context is a little out of date, and the advice is awful, lol, but it could be adapted to suit the times.

I'm so glad you liked it and got a kick out of the notes Tonks' left- I did want to show that they were fairly attuned to one another without either of them realizing it.

Thanks again!
