REMUS AND TONKS – HOW THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER

These characters are not mine, they are JK Rowling's and it was the best day on earth when she decided to think of them.

This story occurs after that scene in the hospital wing when Tonks finally admits her love for Lupin.

Background: Remus is unable to accept the fact that Albus Dumbledore is dead. In order to deal with his grief, he goes for a walk in Hogsmeade. Little does he know that someone is following him.

"Tonks! Why are you following me? I want to alone for a while." "Remus, I love you, always have, always will. Why don't you understand?" These words made Remus so happy and pained him at the same time. He loved Tonks. He loved her so much that it hurt. And it was due to this love that he could not be her.

He was a werewolf and too old for her. Tonks according to him deserved someone young and whole. It killed him to say the next few words but with great courage, he managed to do so. "Tonks, no what what you want or what I want, I cannot be with you. It is just not possible."

He looked at her with such intensity while speaking that at that moment, Tonks realized how much Remus loved her and what were his reasons for saying no. She did not think. She just kissed him.

When they broke apart, all Remus could manage to say was, "Really?" and Tonks simply replied, "Always."
