I really want to thank you for taking the time to read and leave a comment when you have so much going on with Meta and your own writing projects!
I'm happy to see the things that stood out to you, because those are things I was going for in this piece -- especially how Tonks's emphatic continuation of the hair-color challenge is a way for her to remind Remus that they have a shared joke, and let him know that she wants it to continue, werewolf or no. And yes, the revelation is a test in Sirius's eyes, along with a way for him to protect Remus from humiliation if Tonks doesn't take the news well.
However, I should probably warn you that (at least in my original outline, from the old days when I thought this was going to be a chaptered fic) the Oxford mission will be canceled on account of dementors in Little Whinging... Maybe the Order will just reschedule it for later, though? I'm sure they'd hate to disappoint you. ;)
