I'm so very glad that I'm alone in the office so far this morning. I almost snorted tea out my nose, and that would have been embarrassing in front of others.

I would like to see Dudley's reaction to Tonks... I think he'd find her quite fetching.

[phe_o]

Hahaha, too funny--thanks for sharing! That would have been something to explain...!

I agree, that would be a killer read. Maybe someday... ;)

Thanks again, glad you enjoyed!

I loved the minor characters barb. It's kind of a slap in th face to whoever thinks Remus and Tonks aren't major enough characterwise, so their deaths aren't that big of a deal. I really like how you tied up all the loose ends, explaining everything from Grimmauld Place, to Shell cottage.

Tonks snorted. “Imagine Remus, not wanting to be a father. Or leaving me, for that matter!”

Remus snorted. “Indeed.”

Harry snorted.

For some reason, all the snorting had me laughing too. I second the suggestion for a HestiaTonks/DedalusRemus with the Dursleys fic. I'll bet they (especially Petunia) would be so annoyed at HestiaTonks' clumsiness.

[phe_o]

Oh, thank you! I know, how can they not be major enough? And the idea of a Hestia Tonks/ Dedalus Remus fic is really growing on me!

I love the snorting too. :)Thanks again!!

LOL, I love this. I totally agree with Mrs. Tater, you ought to write fic about Remus and Tonks living with the Dursleys. IT WOULD BE TEH AWESOME. :D

“And we’ll name them all after our dead comrades,” Tonks continued wistfully. “This one in here,” she patted her slight belly, “we’ll call Hestia Dadelous if it’s a girl--”

“And Dadelous Hestia if it’s a boy,” Remus finished her sentence, as he often did.

Albus Severus, anyone? *cracks up*

And they all lived happily ever after. Er, and all was well.

LMFAO. I'm so incoherent right now it's not really funny anymore. But I *loved* it.

[phe_o]

Oh, thank you so much! I think I'm going to have to write that fic! :)

Albus Severus, indeed! (snort!) I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks again!

“We’re pregnant!” Remus exclaimed.

OMG, it has all come clear for me now!

Remus is one of those rare males who experience vicarious pregancy symptoms, including hormonally-induced mood swings! That totally explains his behavior in Chapter 11, even if it was really Dedalus Diggle, and...

Er...

Nice skewering, by the way. ;)

[phe_o]

Hahahaha, there's the spirit! :D

Poor, pregnant!Remus. Have some chocolate...

Thanks!
