*sobs*

I really choked up at Catherine and Patrick not being able to come over to play anymore. :(

The image of Andromeda baking a cake when Bellatrix went to Azkaban is awesome.

Wonderful drabble!

The imagery was stunning yet utterly heartbreaking and the way you portrayed Tonks' reaction to everything was stunningly in character. Thank you for writing such an amazing fic :D

Thank you! I was worried about making it overly dramatic, so I'm glad that it came off well! I'm glad you enjoyed!

This is fantastic! I love your portrayal of how it shaped Tonks' childhood, and how that shapes the adult she becomes.

This is wonderful, sad but understated. I love the way you portrayed Tonks' growing understanding of the world around her. Beautiful characterisation of an awesome character :)

Wow -- just...wow. This was definitely not what I was thinking when I made the request, but that doesn't mean it wasn't any less wonderful a story. It was really touching and poignant and got to the heart of what makes Tonks Tonks. Thank you so much, this was beautiful. :)

Okay, you have no idea how relieved I am that you liked it. I tried-- several times-- to make it much more light-hearted and shippy, but in the end, they all felt flat. This idea kept coming back and smacking me upside the head, so I just had to write it.

I'm really glad you liked it! :D
