She knew it wasn't the best of marriages, but it took a while to understand why.

Reviews for Not Like Dad
You scared me there for a second; when you said "Headmaster", my first thought was "Dumbledore" and my very quick second thought was "Ugghhh!!!". Then my third thought was "Oh, right, NOT him; that's lovely for her then! And a lovely story too!
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
LOL! What an idea! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thank you!
How sad. And considering how reluctant Remus was to marry and how he tried to get run away from his wife as soon as he possibly could, it looks like Dora, had she lived, would have had exactly the same kind of marriage as her mother.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
Remus's issues were different than Ted's. I tend to think that once the war was over, he would have struggled to adjust to the new world, but he would have been better. It's interesting to consider, though.
I love this take on the Tonks household and I agree that with her antiquated upbringing it's likely this could have occurred. I think it would have been interesting if Snape became Lupin's Step-Father-In-Law
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
Snape becoming Lupin's father-in-law is a delicious idea. I may have to write another story about this. Thanks for the review!
This is very well written, and you've whetted my appetite to find out more about the story it's based on. In your reply to reader76 you said you'd try to get it posted to next week. What is the name of it so I can keep an eye out for it?Thanks,Beth

The other story is titled "Collaborators," and just posted. It's from an entirely different POV, naturally. Thank you for the review!
So sad
, but hopeful in the end {if one disregards canon}.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
Maybe, with something to be happy about in his life, he found a way to sidestep canon? One can hope!Thank you for the review!
I liked it. Very well written and plotted.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
Thank you!
I've always liked Andromeda/Severus as a pairing. It's a shame that she lost him so soon, if you kept this canon.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
This is the Tonks POV of a story I wrote last year, but I see I haven't posted it to TPP yet! I'll have to post it sometime in the next week or so. I'm not sure if this stays with canon. Maybe with a reason to live, Snape goes to meet his master with things like antivenin on hand. Thank you for the review!
Response from reader76 (Reviewer)
I'll be looking for it! Now I'm even more intrigued.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
It just posted. It's called "Collaborators".
A little sad. But at least she had a bit of happiness as well as Tonks in the end. Thanks for writing. I really enjoyed this.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Not Like Dad)
Yes, very sad. Andromeda gets such a short happy ending in the canon. Thank you very much for reviewing!
