Remus & Tonks
WHO: I just said this. *points above*
WHAT: Confronting the elephant in the room.
WHERE: Their cottage.
WHEN: Slightly forwarded to early evening on Tuesday Sept. 24th.
Remus meant it every time he said the village was a tremendous gift. Before landing in town all those months ago, Remus couldn't remember the last time he walked outside without fear of a deep darkness stirring somewhere. When the demons invaded, they clouded those feelings, but he trusted the safety measures they devised to avoid future attacks. Still, the village couldn't take away all Remus' worries and insecurities. Not only did he still suffer full moons, but he lost his boy to the magic. He learned long ago that life is a trade-off. Gain one thing, lose another. Here? He gained those he once thought forever lost to him, but lost others he loved dearly. Most recently? Molly Weasley. His heart went out to the family. It wasn't death, but it certainly felt it when loved ones vanished, didn't it?
He didn't share many of his feelings with Tonks lately. Secrets felt like an old security blanket. He touched on his fears about having a baby, but didn't share all of them. Still, he couldn't avoid talking to his wife forever. Not unless he wanted their marriage to crumble.
When he returned home from teaching at the castle, he set to making one of her favorite dinners. He dimmed the lights and hoped for the best as he set the last plate out. He glanced at his watch. Maybe he should have told her about dinner. What if she was held up? The whole meal would be ruined.
