Aw...Remus is such a good daddy. I love how he's Remus but with much more sense and confidence now. And that last line was so great and so very Tonks.

Lovely work. :)

I figure Remus had to have had some emotional growth after getting married and having a child-assuming he lived, of course :p-or else who would want to put up with him after a while?? I'm glad you think he's still in character, just with a bit more self-confidence.

Sweet! I needed a little bit of fluffy angst, angsty fluff? I went to school with a couple of kids whose parents were teachers, they were, to say the least, mortified by nearly everything their parents did and said!

My mom was a sub a few times while I was in grade school and, yeah, ...ugh.
I'm glad you liked it.

I loved this! I thought it was masterfully done and it was totally beliveable that Teddy would have these questions about his father, and I think he handled how Remus would, so very well done.

On a side note, I was wondering for a moment if this was going to be a crack fic about Teddy and his first "Play Witch" XD I was very happy to see that it wasn't.

Thanks, I'm glad you feel that it's realistic and well-done.

Nope! no crack!fic from me. (At least not yet... no, probably not ever.)

Beautiful story!

“Still trying to save me from noble prathood?”
Bwahahaha!

How much truth I see behind this line!

Thanks very much.

Very nice! You manage to swirl emotions in a nice mix - puzzlement, anger, pain, relief, contentment, and humour, and I enjoy that very much!

... I love the argument about the DE's killing Ted not having been werewolves. For some reason, that has a very specific Tonks ring to it >.>

Thanks. Real life is like that, yeah? It's not all laughter or all angst.
