Just a short one-shot that popped into my head… Enjoy!
Half-Human
Tonks stared up at the night sky.
She was sitting in the Burrough's garden on a small stone bench. It was July and only a month after her favorite cousin's demise.
It was also only a month after she had tried to talk to Remus Lupin.
6 words. Too old. Too poor. Too dangerous.
Tears pricked her eyes.
Tonks heard someone walk out to the garden.
"Do you mind if I join you?" A voice asked. She knew that voice. Tonks glanced over and saw the man who had stolen her heart.
"Sure." He sat down next to her. "What do you want?"
"Nothing, you just seemed sad."
"And whose fault do you think that is?" Tonks said sharply.
"Mine, I suppose." He said dejectedly.
"Uh yeah." Tonks glared at him.
"I'm not right for you."
"I don't want to hear it."
"You should hear it anyway." Lupin said calmly. "I'm too old for you. I'm dirt poor. And I'm a werewolf."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Well, I don't care." Remus scanned Tonks's defiant face.
"You know that the ministry classifies me as a non-human, only a half-human. If you were involved with me, you might lose your job."
Tonks leaned over and whispered into Lupin's ear, "You might not know this but I'm technically half human as well."
How was it? Please review; I would love to hear your thoughts! Were either of them OOC? Did it massively suck?
