    What's the best way for Tonks to comfort Harry after OotP?

    This is the most unique use of Tonk's powers that I've ever seen. The concept is pretty chilling.

    4.5/5 as a one-shot.

    Pretty good, but even for a one-shot that was kinda short... I like the idea though 4/5 for length and lack of development whatsoever

    Didn't seem to flow. Good concept though, don't like it myself but 4/5 because of the originality.

    This is far to short, and it is also rather choppy. It gives not explination as to why any of this is happening (such as the appsense of the rest of the Boys and Dumbledore thinking it a good idea to send "Sirius" to Harry). Frankly, I don't think it was worth my time to read.

    2/5

    I think it has the highest goodness per word rate I've seen yet.

    4/5

    Lacks flow and length. Word choice could have been better as well.

    3/5

    Like the idea though.

    Very nice. The idea is good, it's written well and I liked it. Only flaw was it's length.

    I think this would be a great idea for starting a HP/NT story. If she had become Sirius because she herself had wanted to help him get over Sirius's death, this could be the beginning of their relationship.

    4.5/5

    Eh, gotta agree with Amerision on this one. It was a neat idea, but it wasn't executed very well. The backstory is handled poorly, and the passage of time in the fic is awkward. Reads like an interesting rough draft.

    3/5
