Who: Remus, Nymphadora, and Max Lupin
Where: The Lupin residence
When: Tuesday night
What: Family chit-chat time

Tonks lay on the bed with Max curled up on her chest, sleeping away. His little snores were adorable, and even after three months, they still weren't old. It was dark out and the wireless was playing softly in the background, and as much as she knew Max needed to go back into his crib soon, she was quite happy hanging out with him for now.

Her and Remus' schedules allowed for them to not have to hire a nanny, which was, in Tonks' opinion, fantastic. She didn't want strangers raising their son.

"Remus," she called softly, keeping her eyes on Max to make sure she hadn't woken him up. It was an awkward angle, but she didn't mind. "He's out."

He couldn't help but chuckle at the pat on his arse. It made him think of his own parents and how, even into his teenage years, they somehow managed to stay as much in love. At the time it had always made him cringe. Now, he found himself hoping things never changed between himself and Tonks.

Looking at Tonks now, though, Remus couldn't contain the bark of laughter. "Only you, love," Remus muttered, shaking his head. "Only you."

Entering the room, Remus lifted the shirt enough to help her untangle herself. "Shirts tend to go on when you put your arms through the arm holes. Not the other way around." While there was a hint of that old professorial tone in his voice, there was also a distinct fondness there as well. And he said nothing about the fact that he'd worn the shirt the day before either. Now freed, Remus stole a quick kiss. "You didn't tell me how your day was."

By the time Tonks managed to untangle herself with Remus' help, she greeted him with a stuck-out tongue. "Yeah, yeah, go ahead, take the mickey out of me. I'm allowed to be a little tired and confused sometimes." Despite her words, she was grinning wryly, and she returned his kiss with one of her own.

Once free to move around again, she plopped down on the edge of the bed. "Oh, you know. We caught a few bad guys, had one bloke tried and found guilty of the use of the Imperius Curse on his sister - had to testify in that one - and did our usual fooling around. Nothing terribly exciting. Yours?" She patted the spot next to her and gave him a winning smile. "Saved you a spot."

It was her klutziness that Remus found so endearing. And it was only the sheer adoration that kept him from mocking her even further. The stuck out tongue was tempting but he let it pass, instead settling to kiss the tip of her nose. "Of course you're allowed to be tired. I'm simply trying to help you learn to dress yourself." Alright, so maybe he wasn't completely done mocking her.

Remus shook his head, shoving his hands into his pockets. "On his own sister? Bloody hell." Not surprising anymore, but still -- It was amazing what some people could do in their own families. It made Remus glad he was born a half-blood. Not that Muggleborns couldn't be found guilty of similar crimes, it just made some of these things less likely.

"How kind of you to save me a spot," Remus said, removing his hands and settling on the edge of the bed beside her. With a smirk, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his lap. "Nowhere near as exciting. Was a quiet day save for one little blighter thinking he could slip out with a journal unnoticed."

"You'd be loads more useful if you tried to teach me how to undress myself," Tonks teased, poking him gently in the ribs.

She nodded, making a face. "Yeah, on his sister. Lifetime imprisonment, of course. Pretty cut and dry case, and the sister suffered a bit of spell damage, but she's recovering nicely."

Giggling in an embarrassingly girlish way when he pulled her into his lap, she wrapped her arm around his neck and gave him a brief, but deep kiss. "Yeah? Did you catch him? Force him to confess to his sins? Call the Muggle coppers on him?"

Remus arched a brow at that. "Why should I teach you how to undress yourself?" Remus asked, giving her a playful smile. "I find it more fun to undress you rather than to teach you how to do it yourself." As if in response, he lifted the hem of his shirt, running his hand along her bare side, then removed his hand.

He shook his head with a sigh. "I'd think that, after all this time -- nothing would shock me. Then..." he shook his head again. "There was a time I had wanted to be an Auror. I'm glad I never went through with it. I'm happier in my bookstore."

Remus sighed into the kiss, making a noise of displeasure when she pulled away. "You make me sound like some... magnum PI type guy." Remus shrugged. "When he suddenly couldn't move, it rather stopped him in his tracks. Called the bobbies and it was all taken care of."

She laughed and squirmed away from his hand, ticklish. "That's what got us Max to begin with, you know," she said with a grin. "Though I was thinking it'd be nice to get a refresher course." She too slid her hand underneath his shirt, rubbing his back.

Tonks sighed. "I'm glad you're in your bookstore, too. Leave the nasty Auror work to me, and just be you." She kissed him on the cheek.

Her eyebrows shot up. "Really? Was he Muggle? How did you explain that one, eh?"
