Dora Tonks was not really a 'drink your sorrows' kind of girl, mostly because she didn't really have any sorrows to drown most of the time. She didn't often let things get under her skin and stay there long enough to need a drink, or anything else, to help her escape or forget. Enter Remus Lupin. Part of her felt embarrassed that she was so strongly affected by someone telling her he wasn't going to date her, because it wasn't like he owed her anything. They had no obligation to each other. It was just that...well his reasons were stupid. Therefore, Remus was stupid. And it was upsetting for more than just 'oh he doesn't want to date me' reasons. The whole situation made their friendship awkward. Dora hadn't just been friends with him so she could sleep with him, but so much of how she felt about him now was wrapped up in basically being in love with him. Remus was great. He was incredibly clever, and kind, and it showed that he cared about her and the people around him. He was a great teacher, she could tell without being present in the classroom. And it didn't make even the tiniest bit difference to her that he was 13 years older or that he was a werewolf. So she walked into her cousin's pub and sat down at the bar to drink, not because someone didn't want to date her, but because she was mourning a relationship that couldn't be because of unfair circumstances. It just wasn't fair. "I need a drink, Sirius," she said as he came to stand in front of her. Her hair was....probably not it's (newer) signature blue, but she didn't really care. |
