Another lovely chapter! I can't wait to see where this goes-- more soon and quickly, very quickly! :D Happy Thanksgiving too if you celebrate it.

i really, *really* like this story! it's very well-written (which is a rarity!) and engaging.
i'm glad that this is harry/tonks and not harry/ginny as most het pairings seem to put those two together. i dont have anything against it but tonks deserves more scene time:)
see you next chapter! update soon.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Call me Harry, please. This 'Lord Potter' thing makes me think someone important is standing behind me."
Henry, still perched on Harry's chair back, hooted.
HAHAHAHHAAH :) Oh god, I totally laughed out loud, big belly chuckles...which made my computer bounce ;) lol.... :) hahahaha, thanks. that was great.

Other than Harry and Tonks being together and Remus perfering his own gender, you have an excellent story here! Though I must point out that there is a lot of slandar for one Hogwarts Headmaster, and while i whole heartily agree that he is a manipulative arsehole, Ive seen only a couple of stories that looked upon him in favour. He did die in Rowling's Half-blood Prince, so you would think that some sympathy, albiet undeserved, would go to him!?!?? (>.

Pleasant chapter. No earth-shattering action sequences or surprices, but some good substance that fleshes out Harry's current life. Tonks' observations on Harry's duelling weaknesses were interesting, as were her comments on morphing (I think I've read the centre-of-mass theory elsewhere, maybe on Jeconais's group - or did you cover it in The Unknown Power?).
I liked Harry's desire to see the 'real' Tonks - something you did cover in The Unknown Power, I think. Always a nice touch though.
Thanks for the chapter!

Good chapter - did enjoy your putting in the limitations aspects, although most HP fic seem to put them in only so Harry can blow huge holes through them. Hope that Harry and Tonks get to snog a little soon.
Thanks

Crys, this flows sweetly and all too fast... I'm trying very hard to resist begging for more :) can't wait to see what happens next!

Someday Harry will think about the soft tissue issue and be caught in an embarrassing situation changing some of his...features. It is bad enough when someone walks in on a teen wanking, but if he were experimenting with length and breadth it would be simply mortifying.
Great story. I eagerly await the next.
Mike.

Poor Harry! This actually runs right into Kelly's issue of How Does The BWL Have A PRIVATE Social Life. Harry needs privacy simply *because* he's Harry, and Tonks needs one as his girlfriend. However, three Rather Large Issues get in the way:
1. He's her patriarch. (Never mind that she's older than he is, and ALSO never mind that the patriarch bedding the hired help has a history in wizarding Britain MUCH longer than in Muggle Britain; Appearance Is Everything!)
2. He's the closest thing to wizarding royalty that exists. As simply the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter is an icon in wizarding Britain simply by kicking Tom's butt from his crib. Throw in that he's richer than almost all OTHER wizards (including those older by at least a century; offhand, I would say that only the Flamels come close), still single, and has been kicking DE butt on a semi-regular basis since age eleven, and you have a true wizarding ICON-PLUS. And he's only sixteen.
3. He's the third most powerful wizard or witch living. What Harry's done magically has ONLY been matched or exceeded by two other living wizards: Tom and Dumbledore. Godric has weighed in and plainly stated that he COULDN'T match Harry's capabilities. (And Harry is not through getting all his capabilities YET.) Power alone is a major attractant (albeit usually the WRONG sort of witch); however, Harry IS aware of it.The Prophet has attacked him numerous times BECAUSE of that power. Again; he's only sixteen. He will only be STRONGER (not weaker) at fifty-six (which isn't even middle-aged by the standards of wizarding Britain); MAYBE he'll START to grow weaker when he reaches Dumbledore's PRESENT age. (Then again, given how much Harry has rewritten the Magical Rulebook, he may wreck the expectations here too.)

I started out with a real long review. I ended up deleting most of it....... All left I left is "very good chapter, good idea Remus had about date." Think you can help me set up a future date most of my girlfriends think that when I plan a date, the date sucks. lol don't answer that. lol

Great story,
keep upp the good work.
Opinions are like assholes.
Everyone has one - but some just smell worse than others.

Theory good, metamorph detail good, Tonks' insecurity splendid - does she look like twin sister to Bella by any chance? Narcissa wouldn't be so bad. Merely plug-ugly is hardly enough to be that insecure over. I bet the old witch in Glasgow comes into things somewhere. Love to know what a really tough instructor would have to say about Harry's dodging habits - snarky Drill Sergeantese is fun. Can Moody come back into things doing his full CONSTANT VIGILANCE in-my-day-you'd-have-died-last-week... routine? KUTGW

Yeah, the 3rd eye would be fun, but more realisticly, is altering the fingers and fingernails into retractable cat-claws with snake-venom sacs.....then a nictating membrane over the eyes so you dont have to blink:)

I love it!! update soon so we can all have our lifes lightened by this fic. =] I just wish there were more harry/tonks fictions out there in the world that actually have a plot and get finished. Meh cant have everything now can we. Any ideas for fics of harry/tonks would be greatly appreciated if you have any recommendations.
