I'm not a fan of Sirius, but you've made him bearable, if not down-right appealing, in this story.I loved Luna. You've captured her exactly right!Thanks for sharing.

Seems like a misnomer, Luna the Sunshine Girl. But then, when has Serius ever been serious? They fit. 
Response from pokeystar (Author of Like The Tide)
*is confused*Luna the moonshine girl. I did a little research on the moon, just to reconfirm half-remembered astronomy facts from college before I wrote the story. I think they fit because Luna reflects the joy of life, like the moon reflects sunlight, and as such is the perfect antidote to dementor exposure (creatures who absorb the joy of life). She's also spontaneous and eccentric enough to meet Sirius' penchant for whimsy, while also being calm enough to anchor him, and mysteriously unpredictable enough to hold his short-spanned attention.Thank you for reviewing! I quite liked writing this pairing and your comment really helped me nail the why of it.

I don't know how you managed it...
...but this is somehow sweet and sad and funny all at the same time! 
Loved Luna's comment: “Look,” she said, pointing over his shoulder. “It got the drapes clean, too!” 
And did I read part this right: ...she waited for him on the garden bench made of green glass bottles and Hagrid’s treacle fudge... The bench is actually made out of Hagrid's fudge?!? *snorts* Well, I guess if you can't eat it, it might as well be put to use some where else... 
Loved the little bits of Hermione and Severus' relationship too.

LOL... I can just see Luna creating some random device and trying it on the Veil. That was perfectly her!

Yep, she's an out of the box thinker, Miss Lovegood is.

I don't normally like Sirius stories, but I enjoyed this. Good work on characterization and imagery.

Thank you! I liked this challenge in particular because it pushed me out of my comfort zone, as far as characters are concerned.

Oh, very nicely done:) And it's an unusual pairing, one I would not have thought of, but it works very very well:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
