“I solemnly swear I am up to no good,” he whispered into her ear before capturing her lips for a kiss.

:D I loved the ending. Drunk Remus is a gift to *everyone*. He just seems to make such a cute drunk, I guess cause it is so opposite from his normal personality.

Tonks's characterization was perfect, although I'm sure she got up to alot more mischief at school than what she mentioned. ;)

Tonks was an angel...what are you going on about??!! ;)

Drunk!Remus is fun to write! I should get him wasted more often.

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed =)

Drunken Remus is so much fun for everyone. :)

I love how they were trying to one up each other. They seem the type to have a playfully competitive relationship. Their banter was great, and this line- “All this talk about misbehaving has me feeling naughty.”- had me laughing out loud. And you know I think the last line is perfection.

I panicked slightly at the 'day of competition' prompt, but quickly decided on 'let's see who was more naughty at school'.

So I went 'OOC' for Remus, except his IS drunk and he seems like the happy drunk type. I based him on The Husband, who is very Remus-like (right down to be a Pisces as well). He's a happy drunk.

Tonks...well, she's a girl who can hold her liquor!!

I like the last line too ;)

Adorable story.

I love the banter--especially when they get naughty at the end. =) And I love how every time Remus starts to get self-deprecating, Tonks steps in and diverts him. Very sweet, and a good choice for their characters.

Thanks =) Glad you enjoyed.

I wanted to smack Remus around for being so self-deprecating, but Tonks handled him!!

Thanks for your comment!!

"Mmmm…" Tonks moaned. "I so would have failed Defence Against the Dark Arts if you were my teacher."
Oh, she soooo would have. ;)

Yay, Tonks and Remus pranks! And well done for dropping in tiny little bits of angst, like: Remus gave her a dark look and took his shot. “We both know I’m not human.”
Even happy, he can't resist beating himself up. Grr...

I do have to question - how in the world could they down that much alcohol and still manage to walk? Just curious about that little detail - they both must have stomachs like iron elephants.

So, I think your idea worked out well, but I'm not sure it comes across fully that Tonks is getting him drunk because of the Death Eater breakout. Or did you decide not to focus so much on that? I'm not saying the story doesn't work - it's fine, but that particular aspect needs a little more emphasis if that's what you were working toward.

Um, one grammatical error that stood out: "We’ve drank half the bottle already, darling" - should be "We've drunk

Thanks for reading...glad you enjoyed it!! =)

I'll have to edit it so its clear that Remus is drinking of his own free will. Tonks has him at her place so he doesnt do much damage to himself. The DE breakout was a serious set back in the war, esp cause people like Bellatrix were back on the loose. I can only imagine what the next Order meeting was like...

UGH!! at horrid grammeratical error. Will fix that as well!!

Just who do you think is the better pransker?

Just who do you think is the better pransker?

Oh, that's tough. I think ultimately Remus would win in a battle of wits...he has more patience, and many times that's key for the really spectacular pranks. But - I also think that Tonks would give him a serious run for his money before that. ;)

[gijane7702]

Same...

I think Sirius and James had the brilliant ideas and Remus is the one who plotted them out so they would work (and they wouldn't get in trouble).

Tonks, on the other hand, I think just got and idea and ran with it. More fun...but more risky.

LOL, perfect ending.
This was a fun fic - makes me want to go have a few drinks. ;)

[gijane7702]

I had a few while I wrote this ;)

Thanks for reading...glad you enjoyed!!
