This is cute, but I can't quite picture Harry and Ron being so freaked out to find that it's Lupin. He may not be as dashing as - for instance - Bill, but he's a great guy and they're both in a position to know it.

Anyway, good story, over all. Well done! :-)

HAHAHAHA! These was so sweet! The dorky grin this put on my face the whole way through is still there! Unfortunately it was reccomended by another Remus/Tonks obsessed friend, so the surprise was taken out of it, but not the enjoyment! I LOVED IT! so adorable. Tonks's bluntness cracked me up. "They want to know who i'm sleeping with." LOL. This was great!

Fluff is fine with me! My favourite line has to be Ginny reminding Ron that 'not everyone was raised as weasleys', though Ron saying 'excellent, 2 birds with one stone' comes in a close second. More please!

She gave Tonks a huge smile. "Any reason? Like . . . you know. Someone new in your life."
"Oh," Tonks said in tones of dawning comprehension. "Ah. I see." She smiled to herself. "No. Nobody new."

that's soo true...

And Remus's mischief is very well written... very true to his character... reminds me very of the last scene in OotP... where Tonks, Remus & co are "threatening" Venon.... hahaa...

So cute and funny and wonderfully wicked. ;) I love the idea of a triple Fluffy dare. Your Lupin and Tonks are spot-on and I adored their deadpan, teasing interaction, as well as the reactions of the trio and Ginny (poor Ron, I hope his eyes are okay.) And may I be the first to congradulate you on being canonical before even J.K got there? :) I can't wait to read more of your work, thanks for the much-needed fluff!

---Had this been a real story, this text would be followed by angst, drama, much capitalized shouting from Harry along the how-dare-you-be-happy-when-the-world-is-horrible sort of lines, almost certainly a boot upside the head from Ginny, and/or a meaningful conversation with Lupin.---

Oi, leave Harry alone. I'm sure he can handle the possibility of someone, somewhere being happy without a temper tantrum. Well, fairly sure...

The story was great the way it was. I really enjoyed it!

*rants indignantly at Harry for calling Lupin "old" when, in most things I read, he is no more than thirteen years older than Tonks and JKR herself said he was around thirty-seven*

Wow, I'm really late finding this, but I spent the second half with my hand over my mouth, shaking with laughter. A gem! Loved Tonks, loved the kids' reactions, and Lupin...*sighs* Though I would think Hermione and Ginny would have nicer things to say about him. I mean, he's not Sirius, but he's got his own charm. Oh, well.
Now, if I could just find a guy I'd be willing to let rest his fingers on my ankle...;-) I've got to find a way to use that somewhere...

I can't remember how I've stumbled upon this gem but I'm glad I did. That was one wonderful piece of writing!
I don't usually quote in my reviews but some things HAVE to be quoted in your short piece.
Some hilarious, like:
"He&#8217;s nearly your parents&#8217; age. I didn&#8217;t know they could still do it when they got that old."
*snort* The innocence of the young!
Some incredibly erotic:
"He rested the very tips of his fingers on her ankle."
I almost died picturing Remus doing that but then, the man just floats my boat.
And some very pleasantly fluffy:
"But for the rest of the day, Harry remembered the way Lupin had rested his fingers on Tonks&#8217; bare ankle, and that look . . . and he wondered if maybe there wasn&#8217;t something more to this love stuff than teary kisses and unspeakably awkward dates in Hogsmeade"
Great conclusion!

I loved this story even if it is "Fluff." You definately have a new idea that I haven't heard before. There is one thing in your story that I noticed that kind of botherd me. "On her second toe, a silver ring caught the light." If she realy was going out with Lupin don't you think that she would have been a little more careful about wearing silver. Burns are not always very plesant, but then, either is being a werewolf im sure.

I liked it well enough. It was short, simple and to the point. Forgive me for ever saying so, I suppose if I didn't like fluff I shouldn't have read it, but fluff really isn't my think. I am a hopepless romantic, but I cannot see and romance in Harry Potter. It's pure genious. I love the weaving of words. But the way you put this together was extremely fine. I'd rate this story on a scale of 1-10 a 6.2

This is our first R/T fic! we must say you've nearly convinced us. if you were to, say, write another one it might finish the job (hint hint).

what a charming bit of fluff; the world needs more fluff. especially did we love this last line:

<<But for the rest of the day, Harry remembered the way Lupin had rested his fingers on Tonks’ bare ankle, and that look . . . and he wondered if maybe there wasn’t something more to this love stuff than teary kisses and unspeakably awkward dates in Hogsmeade.
He thought of having the right to touch a girl like that. Because she let you. Because she wanted you to.
Maybe there was a good bit after all.>>

and these little "extras" were the icing on the cake:

<<"He is quite young," Ginny pointed out. "And very good-looking."
Harry frowned at her. Just because a fellow had streaky golden hair and bright blue eyes and a lot of muscles was no reason to go round calling him good-looking.>>

<<"They’re so different," Ginny said. "I mean they’re total opposites."
"What, and total opposites can’t get together ever?" Ron asked.>>

I have so much trouble finding good R/T fics, it's a real joy to see one up at the Quill. And this is a good one - fluff, yes, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of fluff. It's light and funny and encapsulates the teenage attitude towards "old people" in relationships. I couldn't help laughing out loud.

I have to say it did drag a little bit in the very first bit, before Harry et al go downstairs, but from then on it worked well. I think my favourite line has to be "Not too many details, please. I do like to delude myself that we have some privacy." So...Lupin-ish.

Yay! What a beautiful bit of fluff. You've absolutely caught the feelings of a bunch of teenagers toward the thought that their (old) professor is having a relationship.

I loved this line: "Love didn’t interest him a lot. It seemed to consist mostly of acute embarrassment, things people didn’t say that you were supposed to know anyway, and awe-inspiring foul-ups. He had no idea why girls seemed so obsessed with it. Even otherwise-sensible girls like Ginny and Hermione talked as if it were the alpha and omega of the universe. Harry didn’t get it. Where was the good bit supposed to be?" *snert*

Harry's realization at the end is beautiful.

And, while you may be right about capitalized shouting from Harry, it's *possible* he could mature amazingly in the few weeks between the end of school and this story. *G* (I assume this is summer after OotP?)

Great story!

I stumbled upon "A Feast for the Senses" just the other week (still owe you a review for that one), so this is a most pleasant follow-up! The Remus/Tonks pairing has never been an especial favorite, but I've never had anything against it, and you write it so plausibly and well... :)

>>This time, Ginny gave him a thump with the pillow that would have downed a full-grown yak. Ron, being a Weasley, just grunted and yanked it away from her. "Go on," he said. "Just go ask."<<

Heh heh, nice touch of humour in the Weasley sibling dynamic.

>>Harry frowned at her. Just because a fellow had streaky golden hair and bright blue eyes and a lot of muscles was no reason to go round calling him good-looking.<<

Jealous, Harry? :D

>>As coolly as if Tonks had commented on the weather, Lupin crossed to the stove and poured himself more hot water. "A reasonable curiosity." He got down the tin of tea bags. "Not too many details, please. I do like to delude myself that we have some privacy."<<

LOL! I love how she tries to disconcert him, but then he calmly steals away the upper hand.

>>He rested the very tips of his fingers on her ankle. "Nymphadora."<<

THANK YOU for showing that a couple doesn't have to be locked in a full-on steamy embrace in order to communicate intimacy. Soft touches have their place in the scheme of things, too. :D

>>Ron said, "Tonks and--"

"Professor Lupin," Harry finished incredulously.

"Yeeeeeeeeee."

"He’s nearly your parents’ age. I didn’t know they could still do it when they got that old." Harry looked up. "Hey, Ron, d’you think your parents still--"<<

That was bloody awesome. Not just because it was Remus/Tonx, which always ROX my SOX but because it was written so brilliantly as well!

You've captured all the characters brilliantly, especially the stupidity/cluelessness of the boys:

>"Well, she’s a cheery sort," Ron said.

::dies:: that was GREAT! I choked as well!

I really have no words to explain the KEWL-ness of your story to you; my thoughts are too full of fluff to think rationally.

I love it, I love it, I love it...

while you needn't continue this great one-shot, any more Remus/Tonx you do in the future will be muchly appreciated. :D :D :D

Brilliant!
One of the best - if not THE best - Tonks/Lupin stories I've read.

Fluff but not sickly. The best kind!

I loved this whole thing. I loved how Remus/Tonks was foreshadowed throughout the whole thing, and how Remus was the one person that Harry etc. didn't even think of as a possibility. I also loved the Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny hints - very subtle, but effective nonetheless. And their reactions to finding out about Remus and Tonks are just priceless. Tonks's candid bluntness seems so in character to me. That was just wonderful.

I love my Lupin/Tonks fluff. This was really nice ... and very blunt. I love the quick asking and quick answering. Funny but yet nice and fluffy. Good job and who needs all that angst all the time anyway?

Tonks piped up, "They were just being terribly nosy."

"Were they?" He glanced at her, the grey in his hair glinting slightly. "About what?"

Tonks propped her ankle on the opposite knee, bouncing her bare foot once or twice. On her second toe, a silver ring caught the light. Her eyes twinkled wickedly. "They&#8217;d like to know who I&#8217;m sleeping with."

Harry choked on his biscuit.

As coolly as if Tonks had commented on the weather, Lupin crossed to the stove and poured himself more hot water. "A reasonable curiosity." He got down the tin of tea bags. "Not too many details, please. I do like to delude myself that we have some privacy."

Harry&#8217;s mouth fell open, and the biscuit he&#8217;d choked on fell out. He didn&#8217;t even notice.

"I won&#8217;t say anything embarrassing," she protested.

Setting his mug down by her hip, Lupin added a lump of sugar to his tea and summoned the milk pitcher to himself. "Forgive me if I remain unreassured, since the only thing under the sun that embarrasses you is--"

"Remus!"

"--your name." He rested the very tips of his fingers on her ankle. "Nymphadora."

She made a face at him. He smiled back at her. For no reason at all, Harry began to feel distinctly uncomfortable.

Ron coughed, rather more loudly than necessary.

Lupin looked over his shoulder and smiled, a new and unexpected glint of pure mischief in his eyes. "Good evening." He left the kitchen.

Hermione found her voice first. "Tonks--"

Tonks just shook her head. "Damn him," she said. "He always manages to work that in." She hopped down off the counter. "Well, there&#8217;s nothing I can add to that, although it&#8217;s tempting. He&#8217;s been poring over those cuttings all day, hasn&#8217;t he? Think I&#8217;ll go distract him."

I saw it coming and yet my mouth fell open when it actually came. I guess because the were both so cool about it. Oh, and the kids reaction to it after they leave the room is priceless!
""He&#8217;s nearly your parents&#8217; age. I didn&#8217;t know they could still do it when they got that old." Harry looked up. "Hey, Ron, d&#8217;you think your parents still-"

"Thank you very much. I&#8217;m scarred for life now."

OJ came out of my nose because of you! I love this story. I love Tonks/Lupin for some reason I myself do not understand, weird how I didn't think 'bout the age difference til now... She's probably in here late twenties, his like forty. Whatever, love knows no age!

Tee Hee! Nothing like springtime fluff to make you happy. This story made me smile and giggle, and I swear I haven't smiled all day. I love how you portray Tonks, and the dialouge between her and Lupin was so great! The whole story just flowed with bits of humour.

Great job, this story greatly improved a day which frankly SUXed

Rather sweet. Always thought Remus and Tonks would make a good pair. Besides, Remus isn't THAT OLD, and I always pictured Tonks as being mid twenties.

Ok you're lucky, I haven't reviewed in weeks, but I have definitely got to review this one. I love it! It's a twist that I never thought possible, but now that I see it makes sense. Although, I'm not sure if it would be in charaacter or out of character for Tonks to be so candid about it. Hhhhmmmm, that's a hard one. I love it though!

Thank you so much for writing this!

It's this type of Lupin/Tonks story that has tuned me on to the pairing - where her youth and vitality bring out the old marauder in him :)

<<<if Lupin had been half a second slower, she probably would have broken her leg>>>

Nice bit of foreshadowing there! Once I read that I immediately guessed it might be him :)

Seriously, I love everything about the story - from the conversation between Remus and Tonks to the subtle H/G and R/Hr to Ron's spot-on characterization. Really, it's fantastic.

I'm so glad you don't feel like writing! I hope you don't write that more often! Sweet and fluffy! And typical Mosylu real-ness throughout. Knew it would be Lupin. Nice bit of foreshadowing there. What I really like about this is the way Tonks brings out the Marauder! And of course that he wins! Before she can wow them, he quietly steals her thunder and then embarasses her!
Favourite bits:
>>"And then the time Percy switched all the labels on Mum’s spice rack, the same night the twins were to make beef stew for Great-Auntie Mavis, all on their own--"<<
>>"He is quite young," Ginny pointed out. "And very good-looking."

Harry frowned at her. Just because a fellow had streaky golden hair and bright blue eyes and a lot of muscles was no reason to go round calling him good-looking.<< A nicec bit o' H/G
>>Hermione made a sound like water hitting a hot stove.<< Great imagery. I can imagine Ron jumping at the sound!
>>"I’m just going to go poke out my eyes."<<

And many more! Lovely, lovely, lovely!
