Oh, thank you so much! I am a characterisation nazi, and it took me a while to establish the way I wanted to picture Remus in this fic. I'm glad it worked out well :-)

It was my first attempt at writing Draco, and I am very, very happy that you think he turned out in character.

We do need more Draco/Lupin fics, or more Draco/anybody-who-is-not-Harry fics

There is something about the Remus/Draco interaction that appeals to me, and not necessarily in a sexual context. They are also both hard to write; I think, in a way Draco's character is a parallel to Ron: Ron as the perfectly normal kid, and Draco as the perfectly normal spoilt kid. I don't buy an evil!Draco, but I don't buy a poem writing Draco with Great Depth and a Good Heart underneath the exterior. He is a brat, full stop. And 'normality' is very hard to write.

Anyway, I'm very glad you enjoyed this little attempt at non-smut ;-)
