A/N: This is an idea I had one night while looking at one of Mandy-ig's fics regarding Bill. I never actually read the fic because I was struck with the realization that nobody ever writes any Bill/Tonks (well not that I know of anyways). Mrs. Weasley obviously wants them together... Enjoy!

Chapter One: Breakup

"Dora, I'm sorry. This just won't work out. I'm old enough to be your father," he said, pushing her away.

"But Remus, I love you," she cried desperately, clinging onto the lapels of his jacket. "Don't my feelings matter at all?"

He looked at her, love and fear warring in his eyes. Finally, he kissed her, hard, one last time. "Do you know what will happen?" he asked her, panting with repressed desire. "I am a werewolf and will die young because of it. You will have the rest of your life to lead, yet you will be tied down as a widow to my debts and my poverty. I can't do this to you!" He pulled away again, steeling himself not to look at her face.

"But I don't care!" she wailed, "So we'll have five years or so, maybe six! We will be a family and we can be together for as long as possible!"

"I refuse do die and leave you penniless, saddled with werewolf children, and regretting the day you met me." He said firmly and turned away resolutely. "You would hate me."

"No I wouldn't!" she cried.

"Yes, you would," he sighed.

"Don't do this to me!"

"I'm sorry Dora… better to leave now while you still love me." With that, he turned and left the flat without saying a word.


A/N: Sorry to all you Remus lovers out there. I promise she won't forget about him immediately. But anyways, I hope you liked it! I'm sorry it was so short, but I had to get it started. Please leave any suggestions or comments in a review! If you don't have any, but still liked it, please REVIEW anyways!

Thanks for Reading,
