Ooh, what an intriguing storyline, I can't wait to find out what happens next!

It was a really enjoyable read and I loved the little details about their relationship.

As for the review bribe, lovely as a cuddle from Remus would be, do you think you could send him round to do my packing? Its the end of term and I've got more stuff than I know what to do with to move home tomorrow.

I'm glad you think the storyline is interesting! It's been a bit of an adventure for me, but much fun, too.

Thanks very much for letting me know you enjoyed this.

As for Remus packing up your things, I'll have a word, I'm sure we can arrange something. ;)

Thanks again. :)

I'm sorry this may be rather irrelevant ..but.. I can not resist asking...what is the story of all these hats people are using as Icons??????

[godricgal]

Meta members can request their own hat, in a variety of colours, with their name on it. Just a bit of fun. :)

Great start!

Not only am I enjoying the plot, but I really enjoy the characterization of the characters. I like the backstory how Remus and Tonks got back together *swoon* and the glimpses of personal/intimate moments between them.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to part 2!

Thanks, Amy!

I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the plot so far, it gets plottier in the next chapter. Thanks for mentioning characterisation, Kingsley made me a bit nervous. ;) The story of Remus and Tonks is actually half written, so I'm glad you enjoyed that, too, I may shape it up for posting at some point, if I have time.

Thanks again! I'm trying hard to have part two for Monday. :)

Oh, and I've been meaning to ask if I can friend you for ages now...

[scarlett71177]

I'm looking forward to it, and I thought your Kingsley fit in with canon just fine.

Thank you- let's friend!

Oh! This is so lovely. I've been wanting to read something from this time.

Thanks!

[godricgal]

Thank you!

I enjoyed this a lot and am eagerly looking forward to future chapters. I like the fragile restoration you've written between Tonks and Remus, and their fantastic chemistry, as well as Tonks and Kingsley's shared frustration about the Ministry. (Your Kingsley is completely believable, by the way -- no worries!) The Onocentaur plot looks intriguing, too, and I can't wait to see how that develops.

I really like the point in time where you've chosen to start looking in on Tonks and Remus -- right after the first time they've been able to spend a relaxed night together, with tenderness and laughter, which I would venture to say means the first time they've been able to let go and really trust each other and the strength of what they have together.

Candles danced in their sconces, casting flickering shadows over the clean, clinical expanse of a kitchen past its heyday. It had been a long time since Molly's culinary touch had passed over the kitchen, though Tonks could almost smell the rich stews and tasty roasts of times past. --

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the start to this story. It's quite interesting to start writing as story after the reunion has taken place and things are getting back to how they should be. I'm having a lot of fun making that a sub plot to this fic.

OotP, HBP and DH-era are all so different for Remus and Tonks, and I'm glad that the difference in situation came through from that part about Grimmauld.

Thanks very much for reading and leaving such a lovely review. :)
