I love this! I never liked the idea of Harry becoming an auror. After being forced to be a child soldier in canon, and his experiencrs with being controlled by Dumbledore and persecuted by the corrupt Ministry, I just can't see him willingly putting himself into a position where Ministry leadership can give him orders. While it would be nice to see the future outcome of this oneshot scenario, I find the fic as it currently exists to be wholely satisfying. Well done!

The next story in the vault is more or less the sequel.   Yes, I never liked Auror-Harry - too much same-old, same-old.

Fun to read one-shot. I still think that Tonks and Harry make a good couple. Thanks for sharing!

I like it. Tonks not knowing what her original self looks like was a nice touch.

Excellent scene, and while it might make the basis for a good story I think it sits well where it is.

And also a good,original,answer for the cliche of Tonks' true form.

I like this story. It is tragic that so many of Harry and Tonks' friends and loved ones died but it is good to think that they may make a new life for themselves. I like the story that Harry adopted a little war orphan.

I wouldn't mind if you continued this story.
Thanks for writing.

Very nice, very plausible -
All in all a very sweet beginning to what could be an interesting llok at domesticity among survivors.
Thanks

Hmm, you're right, too good to throw away.

Having Tonks not remember what she orignally looks like is orignal. It's usally that she falls back to her orignal form at sleep time. I love seeing orignal ideas. kudos to you.

Actually, that's taken from the old legend of Proteus, who could assume any shape, but always became an old hunchbacked man as he slept.

Nice ficlet, certainly an interesting start for a Harry/Tonks story.

My one critique is with the idea that metamorph abilities preclude childbearing. If that were the case, the power would be selected out of the gene pool rather quickly. Aside from that, though, I liked it, as well as I can like any story that's not H/Hr.

Kokopelli replied:

Yeah, well, you try keeping a child in utero when you're changing shape and body chemistry.   Per canon, Metamorphs are very very rare, so I'm thinking that they're a sport of some sort.

"So, I suppose McGonagall is out too?"
*choke* I so did NOT need that image, K.

Interesting little ficlet from the vault.

Blame Jeconais and Kinsfire - they were the inspiration for this one.
