Summary: Time is a precious commodity for members of the Order of the Phoenix, especially where romance is concerned. Why, then, would Remus want to waste one of those rare opportunities to be with Tonks talking about the Ministry's unjust new Educational Decree that places

First Sirius : Even if he is not one of my most liked characters, I love that you've brought out his virtues here - his steadfast loyalty to Remus could rival even Tonks' devotion to Remus. You Remus-Sirius (Note the absence of the slash in between, before you think I've gone bonkers) dynamic is just the way it is in the books.
"The last thing Harry needs," replied Remus mildly, "is to be poisoned to her before he sets foot in her classroom."
"Your classroom!" Sirius fired back. "As if the toad won't poison Harry to her without my help!"
This line in particular shows that loyalty far more than the rest ( ... )

Yep, that's me lol!
What sort of art do you do?
It's just easter holiday homework for my GCSEs - nothing fancy really! I'm just cutting and sticking loads of piccies in my sketch book of landscapes I've seen over the holiday, then drawing 4 of them, and then researching an artist who has used landscapes like mine. It's nothing special, but I've got to keep working at it to maintain my grades, lol.

That's interesting, because I thought it was completely convincing. At least, it seemed perfectly natural that each of them would have thought about it already. Remus, because he's been lonely for a long time and it's a sure bet he's given a lot of thought to his (perceived) lack of future prospects for a family, even before knowing Tonks. And Tonks, because she's liked Remus for a while now and when you think you've found someone wonderful it's natural to dream, even just a little, about a future together.
I guess it is potentially unusual for the subject to actually come up in conversation this early in the relationship, but I'd say the way you led up to that (Remus being pushed to a sort of breaking point) was completely plausible as well.

I find it hilarious that Sirius bugged Remus for all of the details. He's so weird, that one. It's his COUSIN and his BEST FRIEND.
and he shouldn't have said he had Galleons riding on it. Of course Tonks will make him lose after that. hahahaha
Obviously you haven't been listening to our Marauder stories, or you'd know it was Prongs that fancied redheads, not Moony."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No, Moony obviously likes the multi-colored one.
So, instead of Tonks brown or Black black, I went Weasley red to annoy her."
Good. For. Her. Yeah, just like Sirius. *does a dance* And Umbridge can't yell about it!
"I've got to find out whether Harry's people-annoying skills have got rusty over the summer. He'll needs them sharp if he's got to put up with Snivellus and Umbridge, as well." *laughs evilly* That's so great. So wrong, but so great ( ... )

I really enjoyed writing this quarrel between the three of them, and then finally between Remus and Tonks. They don't particularly play fair all the time, and your right about his comment not being a good way to end it. It's hard not to feel badly for him, is it? Because it's just not fair and he's such a good man. I'm glad you do feel like that, because I wanted sympathy for him even though he's being a total prat. Remus is at once ridiculous and completely in the right to feel the way he does, and I think that's one thing that drew me to this pairing.
Thank you very much for all your comments!
