Pairing: R/T (I feel as if I shouldn't even tell you that anymore, it's too obvious)

Rating: T

Warnings: Reference to sexual content, probably swearing once or twice... (oh, and beware of the grammar mistakes...)

Length: about 550 words, all chapters in total: about 4,600 words

Disclaimer: I'm tired of writing that it's all JKR's. Thus I say: HP IS MINE! Well, it's a lie, clearly... but it feels so good! ;-)

Summary: He wondered momentarily how he could have been this stupid. How he could have got drunk to this extend at all, and why ever he, of all people, would drag a young witch into his room and ruin their colleague- and their friendship all in one night's foolish act... - The companion piece to Vignettes in Remus' POV. I'd recommend you to read Vignettes first if you haven't already for it will give you the basis for this one here (in my opinion). Otherwise, same goes for Vignettes #2 as did for Vignettes: takes place in OotP, different take on the R/T-relationship, bit un-canon to the story. The style, however, is different since there's almost only passive action going on this time. (Just so you know...)

Beta: none (but one day, I'll get myself one, I promise!)

About the titles: Just a little thing I'd like to explain. The chapters of Vignettes #2 always have two titles, a first one and a second one (however, there's no former title or anything). The first one is always the same as in Vignettes and marked with a #2. The second one is like the actual title of the chapter; the one that could stand there for itself. Mind you that both titles, however, play a significant role in the chapters. (You'll see...)

Author's Notes: So finally, I'm back from egypt and getting my fanfiction site and stories updated. Therefore, I hereby present you the first chapter of Vignettes #2. I really hope the waiting was worth it (not that you had to wait too long, right?). As I wrote in the summary, the style is different from the one in Vignettes but I hope you'll still like it this way. And now, no more waiting: I wish you fun with reading...

OoOoOoOoO

1. Consequences #2 – Anger

He sat on the edge of his bed, his head aching and his vision slightly blurry. His eyes marked a spot opposite him on the wall. There was nothing in particular to see but he had to look as far away as possible from the bed. From what lay on it, actually, right behind him.

He had woken up this morning and found himself loosely covered by the thin, patched blanket that came with the creaking bed at the highest of rooms at Grimmauld's – his room. It had taken him some seconds to become aware of who he was and where he was and it had taken him some minutes at least to recall everything, or as much as possible, that he had been doing the night before. But as soon as he had felt the warm body that had been lying pressed against him stir, he had realised with a shock that he had done something he would have thought Sirius to be probably capable of, if he wouldn't be a fugitive on the run, but certainly not himself.

He forced his eyes to look over his shoulder and back at the petite, almost fragile looking form of Nymphadora Tonks, asleep in his bed and covered by his blanket that he had rearranged around her after he had silently freed himself from the slight hug she must've had pulled him in at some point in the night. Her chest was rising and falling evenly, her pink spiky hair tousled and her mouth just a bit open. It was a scenario so ironic, so shocking that he almost felt like laughing about it.

He wondered momentarily how he could have been this stupid. How he could have got drunk to this extend at all, and why ever he, of all people, would drag a young witch into his room and ruin their colleague- and their friendship all in one night's foolish act. And then he wondered if it had been him that had dragged her here or if it had been the other way around. He couldn't remember; all he knew was that she would wake up soon and clutch her head which would be hurting as much as his did now. Her eyes would set on him and she would eventually realise where she was and what they had done. Whatever reaction she would show – surprise, shock, resentment, denial or simply retreat – their friendship wouldn't be the same anymore. They wouldn't be the same. And it was unavoidable…

She stirred and he removed his eyes from her, knowing that she was about to wake up and he wouldn't be able to get himself to look at her any longer while she was naked in his bed.

"Remus" she murmured slowly and drowsy and he knew from the rustles that she had sat up, if not a bit sloppily. It was this moment that he felt anger at himself rise higher and higher in his stomach until it seemed to boil in his very heart and soul. And before he could stop himself, he had decided that resentment and retreat were his own choice of reaction and with a simple word that he knew would leave her hurt and confused, he gave way for his anger:

"Go."

OoOoOoOoO

First chapter - so what is your choice of reaction? Are you surprised? Shocked? Confused? Content, maybe? Whatever it is, let me know immediately! (That means review, please.)

So this starts all over again. I feel like I'm posting Vignettes for a second time. Well, actually, I am: same story, same pairing, same actions - just a different point of view. I really love playing with points of views, that's why I always tend to write two fics with the same story but different points of views. I wonder if people like to read them as much as I like to write them...

I'm sorry for accusing Sirius of being capable of what Remus and Tonks did in this fic. This is an apology for everyone out there who feels like I did him wrong with this (I do feel bad about it). I believe this is the only ever chapter that anyone else than Remus or Tonks was mentioned in (by name). Interesting, huh? (But I did this on purpose for I wanted this fic to be about these two and no one else. Well actually, I do that with almost all of my R/T fics, so...).

Uploading, I guess, will be done with a two-(or three-) days-break between the chapters again. So another two and a half weeks until this is finished, huh? (And didn't I say it's like Vignettes all over again?)

Let's all dance on a full moon night in the full moon's light; see ya und tschüß
