That was a very well done approach to understanding Harry's immaturity and lack of understanding of everything from sex to love and all points in between. I'm sure that many people were clamoring for an earlier consummation of the relationship, and it's not actually clear that that's how far they went, but allowing them to pass heavy kissing (and maybe some light petting) is reasonable after what has to be 8 months?

Finally! I've been (mentally) kicking Harry repeatedly by his lack of progress in one admittedly informal aspect of his studies.

Sorry, I posted last chapter's review too soon.

I love the story. I've read all your other short stories/oneshots/oneshot collections (my special compliments on Dream Journal, the format is very creative) and loved them without exception.

I'll get on with the reading now. :-)

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.

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?

Crys replied:

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.

Crys replied:

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.

Crys replied:

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.
