A/N: This story started out as a one-shot about if Remus/Tonks survived DH. It grew and grew and now I classify this as my first chaptered fic! This is primarily canonical, but there is a non cannon pairing and some ocs. This story is rated T just to be safe. Don't want to get flamed! So, enjoy this everybody!
See you for the end of this chapter,
Nymphy Lupin92 A Different Kind of Life Chapter 1 Teddy was not taking too kindly to his parents being gone. He'd cried on and off for two hours. When he wasn't crying he was sleeping, but only for short amounts of time. This made the tension that Andromeda was feeling almost unbearable.
She was wondering whether this would end, when suddenly she heard a "crack!" from downstairs. This startled both, sending Teddy into more cries.
Andromeda hushed him, set him in his crib and ran to see what the source of the crack was. She stumbled down the stairs and stopped dead. Her son-in-law, Remus Lupin was fighting to stay conscious. Nymphodora was lying beside him also unconscious.
Obviously he'd used the last of his strength to apparate them to the house because when Andromeda hurriedly knelt down to inspect them, she found that Remus had lost the battle. "Remus? Dora-oh my God!" Andromeda was speechless.
She was brought out of her reverie by cries coming from upstairs. Andromeda quickly levitated the two of them up the stairs to the room where Teddy was lying. He was now asleep. So much for being quick thought Andromeda as she moved the two of them to their bed and went about tending them.
It seemed that her daughter had suffered the most; a few broken ribs and a broken arm, whereas Remus had remarkably few scratches.
She made sure that they were well cared for and then quietly left the room to retire to bed.
A/N: I know this is short; next chapter will be longer, I promise! If you review, this will go even faster!
