Is it THAT hard to believe that Sirius and Remus were friends? Really? I can understand completely that a lot of people don't see a romantic relationship. Totally fine. But is it really that hard to believe they were supposed to be as close as brothers?

Sigh.

If you want to know what I'm talking about, head over to Fiction Alley Park>MWPP>Can't Remus be Bi?

Really. Sirius CAN have more friends than James.

I can definitely see your point- and yeah, that's one of the reasons I can't believe it started in OotP. Remus had too much else going on.

I do think they got to know each other in OotP, and established a base of friendship. And like I said, I can 100% believe that Tonks had a thing for Remus during that time frame. But yeah, they're WORKING most of the time. And the heavy whispers... other people are around then. They're whispering because they're talking about things that are order related that they don't want the kids to overhear. If I remember right, I think there were some Weasleys- and probably Sirius- at the table when they were whispering.

I know what you mean about the litmus test. I don't mind so much when people like the relationship itself. What bothers me is when they say "it's so CUTE!" There's nothing cute about Remus. (Of course, I also won't say that he and Sirius were cute. That was NOT a cute relationship!) And yeah, if they say JKR was a goddess for writing it as she did... I thought it was horribly written. (I just think it's only a few pages of the book. JKR writes so much else extraordinarily well. She's just crap with romance. Leave the romance out of it, and I'm very, very happy. Although I LOVED how she did the sillier teenaged romances!)

Until anything else is revealed, I'm going with my mindfuck theory, which is the basis of the R/S --> R/T fic I'm working on. Not a deliberate mindfuck, just an accidental one because Remus doesn't realize what he's playing with. I'd LOVE for Kris's version to be right, but I suspect I'd be very disappointed at book 7 if I banked on it. (But if I bank on it to be wrong, and it turns out she IS right, I will be very, very, very happy about being wrong!)

Give me a link when you're finished with that remus/tonks

I'd love to read it. It would be interesting to see how close (or far) our views mesh.

*waggles* I need to get back to my knitting. I stopped knitting because my wrists were hurting, and now that they are not, I need to get back to it (knitting a lace shawl for my stepdaughter - hopefully, it will be done by christmas!)

I'm sure I'll post it in this journal as well! And it's for the hp_synergy challenge. I'm really looking forward to how it should come out. (And it gets ART! This challenge is worth it just to get the art, especially since I got paired with a great artist. Whoohoo!)

Have fun with the knitting! A lace shawl sounds gorgeous!

Hey, a link

that you may find interesting about the R/T dynamic.

I swear. This girl and myself shares a brain.

Hmm... I just found out that my stepdaughter hates navy blue.

Off to find different coloured yarns then.
