I really enjoyed this. It's very well written and skipped along very nicely, making me laugh along the way. Thought you did a great job with your prompts, and came up with an inventive plot -- especially liked the mirror. I can't help but be a little worried at what happens next...

Nice one!

Thank you for your review! :) I'm happy you thought it skipped along nicely, 'cause I was worried that it was too long and it'd drag - which is why I decided to cut the fic into two parts. I enjoyed writing the mirror, and it's going to make a comeback in Tonks's part. Which I will post on my LJ soon enough. And don't worry, I'll be nicer to Remus this time around! XD

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to have a chance to read this, but what a fun story! I especially liked Remus's feelings of dread whenever he started thinking about what Sirius might be getting up to.

Somehow, he feared that his presence would slowly dull the brilliant light she radiated. Aw, that's very Remus, too. poor thing. But then his actual interaction with Tonks is cute -- nice to see that his potion ordeal with Sirius gave him a confidence boost after all!

Lots of great throwaway lines, too...tuna? (hee)

Thank you for taking time out to read and review! :) Hee, I just imagined that Remus would more or less be uneasy about whatever Sirius' plans for him are - but in the end, it made him feel better about himself. I liked writing his brief interaction with Tonks, too. :D

And about the tuna - LOL, some strange logic got me thinking that Remus, being a wolf, would have a natural dislike for anything to do with cats. Hence the tuna. XD

Thanks again for reviewing!
