I like the way you've worked this first meeting - I've always had the idea that Tonks got along well with Remus and Sirius extremely quickly, because by the time Harry comes along, it's probably only been about a month, so I like that they all bond quite quickly. I love Tonks's voice in this; she's so light and easy and witty and fun. I smirked at her initial assessment of Remus - his comments about her eyes were lovely, btw, and not even for the compliment, but for the way he pulled her out of her self-deprecating mode - and enjoyed Remus's dinosaurs-playing-Quidditch pyjamas.
All in all, nice work, I'll definitely be looking forward to reading more .

Thank you very much! I'm always happy to hear that people like my characterizations and the relationships between my characters. It really brightens my day.
So, Remus meets Tonks. That was an interesting interlude. I thought her prank about arresting Sirius was funny. I 'm glad Remus caught it. That was good. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. p

Thank you for reviewing. I appreciate hearing that you thought it was funny, and that you are looking forward to more. A new chapter is coming soon!
“Pajamas decorated with a pattern of Quidditch-playing dinosaurs…” My eyes popped out when I read that. How did you ever come up with such a fantastic image/idea!? It was the perfect end to the piece, full of surprises and funny twists and, again, questions. What kind of man indeed! The scene of the two playing Rubbish Quidditch was just too much, so like two grown men when the day grows dull. This is going to be one of the stories that I keep in my HP FanFiction File: Things to read when the wind howls and you need a perk or two. Thanks!
