Sweet short story! Someone recommended it on the Harry Potter fanfiction subreddit (book club - Bring your own book).

This was a fun little AU. I liked the way you describe Lavender's room and her. She comes off very much as girly sort of girl, but the fact she loves all stories and can imagine much more than having things like tea parties and princes rescuing her from evil witches makes her a far more interesting little girl.
I'm assuming by the end that evil spirt's been fought off, since Tonks used herself as a shield to keep it from getting into Lavender and giving her nightmares, but, I mean, she did decide to stick around for years.
I liked the end where she revealed she can take on a human visage and the remark on her bubblegum pink hair feels like a callback to Lavender's childhood adoration for the color and is very sweet in that way.

awwwe

Omg what was this I need more? It was adorable and I just need an actual novel with this plot because eit'd amazing. I loved that you chose Lavender and Tonks for this, they were perfect in their roles, and Lavender mum was also very well written.
I loved that Tobks was a monster who didn't want to be a bad monster, and how Lavender just slowly realized that and befriended her. This was totally a relationship I didn't know I needed in my life, but now I just love it and want all the fic (cwl)
This was so good, arg, how am I supposed to choose between your fics now?!
Nice work!
Cheers! :)

Huh. I never thought about either one of these characters actually meshing together before yet you've done it right here. I also wanna point out that the shadow monster thing reminds me of that tax commercial where the shadow says "there's nothing to be afraid of" and I can totally see Tonks being that shadow monster. Those spirits were the worst :P and I can't help but smile once we get to the end because Lavender and Tonks had gotten real close in the end. This story was a think of beauty, and I enjoyed reading this little piece. Stop playing with my emotions!

Sometimes, I read the plot bunny in the group chat and I think, "okay, this sounds like crack." And then somehow, it makes so much sense when they're written. Well, this idea was one of those times. The idea sounds like crack but written it makes so much sense.

The idea of Tonks being a monster is interesting, especially because she's one of the "good" ones in the series. It kinda feels like it's playing on the fact that she is half a Black, had the potential of being evil and chose good instead. Maybe I'm reading too much into that lmao.

Tonks just helping because she can't stand the idea of a child being tormented is really lovely. She's just so determined to protect Lavender and that a beautiful thing. She would just protect Lavender night after night.

5 year old Lavender really works here. I also like the fact that her room is all pink and shit and that she loves stories. Her just deciding Tonks was good for protecting her is so sweet.

I like that Tonks worked on being able to transform so that she can go to college with Lavender. It was just cute. This whole thing was sweet.

I like this new shadowy shape shifting thing that you created Tonks to be. In general I thought it was such a sweet story, and Tonks was so brilliantly protective, which I love reading.

I was a little surprised when the little girl switched so quickly to screaming out of fear to accepting Tonks the friendly scary monster and understanding what Tonks was doing. I think that should have taken longer for her to switch.

Your characters were interesting and the girl was so innocent and pure, very fitting.
The end was sweet as well, how they are now both friends and going to uni together. Do I want to call it a cheesy ending? Maybe... Do I still kinda like it? Yes... haha :)

This is an interesting AU idea. I've never read anything like it before, and you did a good job developing it.

I like how monsters have gotten a bad reputation because of spirits and not anything they themselves have done. It was nice to see Lavender recognize that Tonks was helping her after the spirit had taunted Tonks that she would never get credit too.

The ending makes me wonder how Tonks will fare at college. If she's able to make herself look human, it also makes me think about the other monsters in this AU and if they're capable of it.

Great use of the prompts! I’ve never read or thought about anything like this before, and I enjoyed it.

Tonks being a monster confused me a little in the beginning, but I quickly got used to it. Her unwavering desire to protect Lavender from the evil spirt showed Tonks’s determination and fighting spirit. You’ve characterised her well, and she retained some of her canonical traits.

Great characterisation of Lavender. I liked how complex you created her despite her being only five years old. I liked that she enjoyed different types of princess stories instead of the usual white knight rescues the princess ones. I’ve never imagined Lavender as a child. Your portrayal seems fitting.

I liked the idea of Tonks being a good monster. I got a little bit of a Monsters, Inc. vibe to this in Tonks protecting Lavender.

The only thing I wasn’t sure on was the difference of opinion prompt. Was this the concept of monsters being good versus bad? Perhaps I just missed it.

Overall, great job on this creative and enjoyable fic. I’d be interested in reading about Tonks and Lavender’s adventures at uni!

sweet story, i liked it!

This story began with a weird AU but ended nice and fluffy. Not bad, not bad at all.

This story was so sweet :) At first I was a bit confused that Tonks is a monster, but you wrote her wonderfully :)

Greetings from the Wasps!

Oh my gosh, I liked this so much. It was very creative and well written! I want to wish your team good luck. ~Chaser 2 Wimbourne Wasps. :)
