I'm terrible at reviewing, but let me say that this was a really charming look at Tonks and Remus' first meeting.

Thanks much!

Sirius's morose attitude about the house is very nicely done. The atmosphere in there must have been awful -- Tonks appearing to cheer things up is just what they needed.

Sirius was very deft in deflecting Tonks's curiosity about the nickname "Moony," but I'm sure he's had lots of practice at that or Remus would never let him use the nickname...

I really enjoyed this.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you find Sirius' attitude and Tonks' appearence believable.

Let's hope there's cover story for Remus' nickname, lol.

Thanks again, glad you enjoyed it!

I didn't phrase it quite as nicely as I would have liked to, but I had written it so many times and it just wasn't working, so I gave up for the time being.

Thank you, I quite agree. #12 needed Nymphadora Tonks (and so did Remus and Sirius).

I loved being a fly on the wall, getting to see their first entrance into Grimmauld Place and their first meeting with Tonks. It was great fun to read!

“Kill me now,” Sirius said loudly, running his hands through his hair. “Just put me out of my misery.

Heh. Exactly how I felt when I came back to my parents' house after my first year at university.

“And who might you be in the very smart-looking jacket?”

:D That line is just so adorable. I don't know why; it just is. And the one about Sirius and his one night stands. *chuckles*

This prompt definately needed Tripping!Tonks. :D

:-) Thanks, I'm glad you liked that line- I did too.

I'm glad you found Tonks tripping over Remus' luggage appropriate. ;-)

thanks again,

Amy
