Pink pupil? Don't you mean pink iris?

You're right.  I'll go fix that.  Thanks for point it out.

Awww! Great chapter, hillarious job with how tonks tried to suprise harry and the results. Cool idea with how tonks really looks. Pink eyes, very cool. The christmas stuff was veyr cute with great gifts all around especially harry and ginny's ones, and the end was very cute and well done!

The permanent slick jinx is a stroke of genius, as it is clear that Lily had to resort to it, and it is in effect to the present day!

Awwwwww. Now *this* is a side of Tonks we see far too little of in fiction. Yes; I can all too well understand why Harry was a bit irked with the Prophet reporter. The seeming whole point of the article was to ruin reputations (that of Harry, and/or Tonks) by Nasty Allegation, even though the (likely female) reporter would like nothing better than to be in the former Auror's dragonhide boots. (At least I *hope* the reporter is female; if the reporter is *male*, then the whole article is wrong on more levels than Nagini has scales.) Caring!Tonks is certainly a good thing (another good Caring!Tonks story is "Summer of Change" on fanfiction.net), and it's something that I would like to see more of.

good chapter update soon

Great chapter, loved the description of TOnks base form and why her morph stayed when she was stunned, can't wait for the next chapter.

I am enjoying the slow build up of the Harry/Tonks relationship, but then I've always liked this pairing. Anything in the works for everyone's favourite reporter? Can't Harry sick the Weasley twins on her or something?

Harry has a plan in the works.  Fear not.

Not much to contribute except for the standard, "Hey, great update, thanks for posting!", but that is better than nothing, isn't it? Cheers, Michelle

A cliffy, You had to end it there, it was just getting good. Great chapter, giving Ginny the Map was a great Idea, she is the only one that Harry is still on very good terms with. I awaite your next installment.

Learning together is fun *wink wink nudge nudge*

Great chapter! I liked the article bit and Christmas was sweet.

nice chapter - although the beginning left a shock nearly as bad as it hit Harry

loved the journal entries - they hit clase to home as i was once almost that clueless, although i managed to avoid the real prince and 'honored' bs.

thanks

Excellent chapter. I feel an amazing 'tug' to want a Honks relationship to work out very happily for the two. I never considered such a ship until the last few months, whenever I first read this fic, but now I find it leading my list of highly improbable ships to occur in canon. (I believe H/G and H/Hr are still possible in JKR Book 7.)

Your nobility concepts still captivate me. I have thought long and hard about how to incorporate my own different version of this idea in my present work. I am about to start writing the first chapter containing it, and I thank you for inspiring me to add that aspect to my tale.

Your ideas will always by the best in my opinion.

Cheers, and thanks for another great chapter.

I look forward to seeing the take you have on the entitlement and nobility in the WW.  And I'm pleased that I sparked a bunny or two for you.

"Your ideas will always by the best in my opinion."
Considering the village we're both members of, I'll take that as high praise indeed.  My humble thanks, especially as it's coming from an author I respect a great deal.

Very nice.

Nicely done.
.. if your adopting bunnies then ask yourself what would happen if the Marauders would prank the Prophet too only tell the truth for a whole week - and unable not to publish the paper ;-)

Still enjoying the story !

Drop that one in the bunnies area of the Forum.  Too cute to let wither, but it's not sparking anything over here.

uhm, good chapter, but i thought the article put more of a bad spin on harry, like he was using his position to force tonks to do what he wanted....might wanna see about that!or at least, that part stuck out far more than just insinuating that tonks was a whore.

It put a bad spin on them both.  Harry's just used to it.  He's NOT used to his girlfriend getting blasted like that.

Great chapter.

Ooohh, sex scene? I'd think that this would feel a bit erm... off... to one or the other of them after the 'Prophet' article, it'd be like proving the paper right, and even if niether of them gives a flying f... um... gives a damn what the paper says it'd still probably feel odd. I had an Idea about magical marraiges and symoblism too, if you want to hear it, e-mail if not... don't. DOn't expect me to have you e-mail addy though, I get returns at funny times from the site server.

If they well and truly cared what the Prophet and the rest of the wizarding world thought of their relationship, it would probably weird them out to start anything the night such an article appeared.  However, they've both said that they're the only ones who have a vote on the topic, so the rest of the universe can go and f*ck itself.

As to the idea about magical marriages and symbolisms, drop it in the bunnies area of the Forum if you could.  That way anyone can adopt it.

Nice chapter! I liked Harry's reaction to finding a surprise Tonks in his bed... somehow I don't expect her to try sneaking up on Harry like that again; at least, not until well after the whole Voldemort thing is over and done with for ten years or so. :>

I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

Nice chapter.

I continue to follow this very lcosely and am always glad to see that you've a new chapter up. As usual, this is a great job, characters are stable, actions predictable etc, and you develop things nicely between H and T.
One small concern is that I believe (and with a Ph.D. in Genetics I'm fairly confident that I'm right), that the base hair and eye colors that you give her are not possible genetically speaking. Of course, one can say that this is magic at work but I would suggest that should you ever do a rewrite, that you make the eyes pale blue. (note, the problem is that pink eyes only occur when no pigmentation is present at all, and black hair requires a lot of it. Albinos have pink eyes and white hair because they produce no melanin at all).
Other than this you've done a great job as usual and i hope that the next chapter is well under way.

I'm certainly not going to dispute your genetics knowledge.  My one bio course certainly doesn't compare to a Ph.D!

I wasn't trying to describe an albino, actually.  Something close, perhaps, but not a true albino.

She's something of a genetic fluke.  Being the only Black or Tonks with any metamorph ability, and she's what I'm calling a "true" metamorph?  She's one of those one in a billion mixes that make anyone who knows about it stop and say, "Huh."

Chapter 34 is currently at five pages (about half-way through rough cut).
