The tall man standing by the window watches the colourful leaves littering the lawn, and lets out a long, melancholic sigh.
Soon winter will be upon them in all its frosty glory.
First, however, he has to get through two more full moons, one of which coincides with All Hallows Eve.
He left Britain fifteen months ago. He'd always known the baby wasn't his, and besides, he didn't love her, not in the way she deserved.
Tonks and the child live with Bill Weasley now, and the three of them seem quite content.
He's very happy too, even though his live-in partner isn't always easy to get along with.
"Brooding again, Lupin?" an amused voice behind him says.
He smiles, turns around and saunters towards the man standing in the doorway.
"Just thinking that I won't be joining in the Halloween celebrations this year."
Severus rolls his eyes. "You and your daft Muggle customs. As if one needs an excuse to frighten people..."
Remus shakes his head and laughs. "Some things never change."
Severus arches a challenging eyebrow. "Would you want them to?"
"No," he replies, leaning closer to steal a kiss. "Definitely not."
Outside the cottage, more leaves fall.
