Okay, this review is gonna be unlike any of my others. That's because I keep reading more without reviewing first, and now the basic storylines are all that I have left. Sorry!

However, I think you've done a great job with the canon, and I can't wait to read your original stories. I have to admit the Harry/Tonks split was very emotional for me. I cried. I admit it. I cried at what Harry said to Boris, but I wish that you'd have drawn the tension between the two out.

The Harry x Pansy pairing was REALLY good too. I'd love ot read more of those, so if you could reccomend some...

But anyway, as much as I'd love for the Harry x Pansy pairing to continue, I know it won't happen. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hehe it Drco isnt it

Pansy wasn't the first to give Harry a kiss. You say so just after the kiss they have back in book 2. I don't remember the exact words, but it was some thing like "I'm glad we kissed, I don't think I could live knowing that my first kiss was from Pansy".

I wasn't able to figure out if it could have been Draco or Blaze who sent that letter. They both seem likely to have the type of owl. Although that's based off of the actual books not your version.

I figured that you would have Harry use the eximo spell on the picture. Also if you remember book 6 Dumbledor tells Harry that magic can be detected but not who is doing it. That's the reason Harry gets in trouble in book 2 with the whole cake thing or was it pooting.

It was three stories but the top was just The brothers' bed drooms and I think the parent's room was up there too.

One nitpick. If they are inside a fidelious(sp?) charmed house, then how can the ministry detect their use of magic? I mean it would be a fairly lousy charm if it was given away so easily...

Wonderful story so far. The plot is good and you have wrote it great. Draco sent Harry the letter, didn't he? He was the first one I thought of when Pansy talked about that. It's good to read some stories were Pansy is kinda good. Draco is usually either misunderstand good guy or horribly evil guy. So far, your draco is a real person, I like it. Tonks kinda throws me for a loop, I guess. I've never read a story where she seems in character, we see her so little in canon that most writers can't do that. I liked Gabrielle, so sweet. I hope to see more of her later. Ginny knowing some parseltogue. Different, she usually doesn't know it or she knows all of it. Handy little plot device for you too. Things have gone darker in series, that's for sure. I used to laugh almost every other paragraph and now it's usually twice a chapter. But you slide us into the darker parts so slowing and smoothly that you hardly notice unless you think about. And you do a great of balancing humor and angst. Hmm, anything else? Oh, I like how you really built up Harry and Tonks' relationship. You didn't just jump right into it. A lot of stories just have in happen so fast, you barely see it coming. I guess this is long I have to say. On to the next chapter.

Excellent and thanks for writing.

Why did you have to off poor dudders? As for the whole ring thing I'm just assuming the older folk figure kids being kids.

good fic... i just noticed that you haven't written anything for the R series anymore... just wondering if your still planning to finsh it until Book 7?

I'm curious, how do you envisage pansy? several times before you've made derogatory remarks about her appearance, but they've dropped off now.

Is it because a) harry was just being mean to begin with and shes always been above average at least

b) shes always been below average and harry just being nice now he's her friend

or c) shes improved over the years

I have no idea how to picture her!

Apart from harry being a little to up himself for my liking, brilliant chapter! i was hoping for a little conflict in the group.

Yeah. About the summary. "Strained" my left nut. The Harry/Tonks-ness is as good as a rope that has been shreaded up till it is only held together by a thread at this point. You'll have to had pulled something straight from your ** to salvage this!

Dude. Whoa. I find myself hating what is happening, yet I love it at the same time. Talk about a braincramp.
