Remus wasn't having much of an easier time of it. He filled his days with this and that for the Order, and a few odd jobs. But when the Order was largely made up of a waiting game, there wasn't much for Remus to do. He couldn't hold down a job, and after the fiasco that had happened with Tonks, he had been avoiding people more than normal - and Remus wasn't always the most social of butterflies anyway.
But it left him with nothing to do but think over and over his mistakes, and his actions, and whatever the reasons behind them had been. He was unsure why he'd done it, really. Perhaps he really wasn't ready to commit. Or perhaps he'd just been a coward. He was fairly sure it was a bit of both.
He hadn't come to any solid conclusions other than that he wanted to be able to be a part of his child's life, and to mend fences with Tonks as much as was possible. He wasn't sure how much that would be, yet. But he was hopeful they could, at least, end up civil, if not friendly.
He passed a few students he recognized as he made his way through Hogwarts, nodding a hello to them but not stopping. Finally he reached Tonks' office, and had to nerve himself a bit before he could knock. When Tonks answered, he let himself in hesitantly, giving her a small, uncertain smile. "Hello, Tonks."
Remus had been party to a great many awkward situations over the years, but he thought this might be the worst of them.
