Oh that was lovely--the little cottage felt like a nugget of hope, a secret held and guarded carefully. I'm so glad you wrote this--much more mature, much more in line with what should have happened...Tonks' moment of revelation was just perfect.

Sorry I haven't commented since your first post of this story, I was waiting to read it all at once when it was done. Just wonderful...

(have friended you, just to let you know--don't know why I haven't done so til now...)
