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."

"I'm aware that's what got us Max in the first place," Remus replied. "I was there, you know," he teased. His touch turned ticklish momentarily before he removed his hand at long last. "And here I was under the impression you wanted a 'break'. I'm more than happy to comply with the refresher course." He drew in a breath, closing his eyes with a happy sigh. There was something about her touch that brought butterflies back to his stomach every time -- even after all this time.

"I will indeed leave that work to you," Remus replied, kissing her on the tip of her nose in response. "I'm happy with my books and baubles and that's all I really need by way of a job."

Remus cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck and looked away from her. "Explained it by the fact that he was running and he tripped over something he couldn't see." He glanced askance at her. "Going to turn your husband in for misuse of magic?"

"Were you?" Tonks said, feigning surprise. "Well, that's news to me, isn't it?" She leaned over and gave him a noisy kiss on the cheek. "I'm just teasing, love. And we've had a break for a few months now. I'm starting to feel sorry for you, you know. I wouldn't want to drive you away with my frigidness."

She flashed him another smile. "I'm happy you're happy with your books and baubles. One of us ought to contribute to society, and Merlin knows I goof off too much to be that person."

Tonks snorted. "Yes, I'm going to arrest you right now. Though if you would like punishment, I would happily oblige." She waggled her eyebrows at him as her hand ran up and down his back. "I could tie you up and have my dirty little way with, though I think you'd enjoy that just a little too much, don't you?"

"So was I," Remus replied, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. He returned the kiss with a slower one, his hand resting comfortably on her hip. "I never once said you were frigid and I never once complained either." He rubbed small circles with his thumb, resting his forehead against hers. "Nor, by the way, should this be construed as a complaint."

Remus snorted. "You'd think all the years of hanging around with Sirius and James would have eventually rubbed off on me." Truth be told, he could be the wild one when he wanted to be -- he simply usually preferred to be the voice of reason. Besides... he was damn good at it.

The look on his face utterly betrayed him at the thought. Alright, so maybe he had missed things in the bedroom a little more than he let on. He shivered at her touch, lifting one hand to his lips to kiss the palm. "I could feign hating it," Remus replied, keeping his face deadly serious. "If, of course, you think it's an apt punishment for momentarily freezing a Muggle in place before he made off with merchandise."
