Some of the bets people placed were pretty hilarious. I especially loved the whole Ron and Hermione one. The future relationship was definitely obvious to everyone but them. Obvious enough that people were most willing to bet on them, the non-Order members.

As for Mrs. Weasley, what a hypocrite! (And I mean that in the most loving, caring, and jokingly way as possible.)

oh my goodness i love this fic.

it's completely awesome. [:

PLEASE WRITE MOREE. i'll definitely review more.

I read the beginning of this fic last summer and was happy to find it again. I assume that you've set it aside to work on your serious writing, but as I think it's a very promising beginning, I'll offer a few comments all the same.

I love the humor in this piece, particularly the owls in Chs.1-2 and the betting pool in Ch.3. You have a knack for conveying the essence of various characters through dialogue, and delightfully trim dialogue at that. The angst doesn't work quite as well. You portray Tonks's grief and withdrawal authentically, but she seems a little too together and, frankly, a little too frightened for the situation she's in. In my experience, those who suffer multiple violent deaths of friends in quick succession tend to get rather emotionally numb. It's not likely that Tonks would be worrying much about her own safety at this point (if she was going to do that at all she would have done it while she was in Auror training); more likely she would be fretting about her isolation and loneliness or taking reckless chances or even sinking into a "Why didn't I die instead?" state.

The Muggle character works well, I think- I would like to see more Muggle perspectives in fanfiction.

This is a fun story, even in its incomplete state, and I'll be delighted if you ever decide to continue it!

3 guesses who wins that pool, hm? Can’t wait for the romance and future humor. Update soon! You can't abandon us.

I love this story. It rocks.

oh god snape and his mother im laughing!

Yeah, still good. I do like the muggle neighbor's view. It'll be interesting seeing her take on later events. You're right, it doesn't make any sense to just jump straight into the romance without setting it all up first. But please, get there soon!

That was really good. I liked the style of the story, it made it fun and interesting to read. Snape and his mother lol. Anyway I can't wait to read more!

well written, it is really cool doing it all through letters, I't means I don't need to wade through piles of angsty description I sometimes find in fics. More please!

Snape and his mother...hehehe.

I like it...it's cute.

i think it's great! I really like the story and the letter writing format. I hope you're the sort who updates often!

I really liked this chapter! I thought it was great. Parts of it were funny, other parts were sad. I do like Tonks's neighbour alot. I think she'll be a good and interesting addition.

Welcome back! *Laughs* Snape and his Mom who sent that one I wonder. Loved the Howler from Mrs. Weasley to the twins. Looking forward to the next chapter!

This is great! I like the Muggle...I thought for a weird second that she was an author insert, but apparently that's not true? Hehe...well, thanks for this, can't wait for the next chapter!
