Nymphadora Tonks
By Remus Lupin
My Nymphadora
I sometimes wonder why I married you.
Our little Teddy
Will be shunned
Because of me
His father
The werewolf.
And you
Your life
My Nymphadora
Will never be the same.
In marrying me
You have brought a curse
On our family.
But what can I say?
Love often sneaks up
On those who least expect it.
Look at me
The werewolf.
I cannot deny
My love for you
But I can deny
How wrong it is.
A million things
Could go wrong
With us.
Teddy could have been
A werewolf.
Only by sheer luck
Did he turn out
As an Animorphmagus.
Like you
My Nymphadora.
I am a monster
And yet you see the man
Beneath the fangs and fur.
You
My Nymphadora
Have strength and beauty
Beneath your masks.
That is the Nymphadora I love.
And yet
You chose me
Over millions of other men
More qualified for you.
That is why I love you.
And why I must fight alone.
