Title: Home

Pairing: Remus and Tonks

It was a quiet morning, bright and peaceful. Silence lay all around like a blanket, save the occasional sweet, trilling calls of a thrush. The quaint country road was completely empty. Well, it was, until a middle-aged man with a mass of greying sandy hair appeared with a slight pop in front of a lovely little cottage. His body language screamed aloud his hesitation as he walked up to the front door.

Remus Lupin stood at the door of his wife's house, trying to bring up enough courage to knock. Twice he brought up his hand to the door, but lowered it at a second thought.

Do it now, idiot, he reprimanded himself. Where's your Gryffindor courage? Oh, well, maybe his fear had been confirmed; perhaps the Hat had been wrong after all, after all these years.

Sighing, he finally rapped his knuckles lightly on the wood. Two minutes passed without any sign of any one having heard him.

Isn't anyone home? he wondered.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded on the other side, and the door was flung open, revealing his wife, Nymphadora Lupin nee Tonks. Her hair was mousy, reminiscent of the times when he was trying to push her away, and there were dark circles under her eyes. He had hardly begun to feel the guilt which was crashing upon him for being the reason of her poorly appearance, when her lips parted to form the shape of an 'o'.

"Remus!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening.

"Dora, I am back," he said weakly, mentally reprimanding himself for not having anything better to say.

Her hair turned a brilliant shade of red, and Remus gulped. It was a telltale sign of anger.

"You have been gone for a whole week, Remus Lupin! I have been mad with worry. Not a letter or a note, nothing! What were you playing at? Do you have any idea how frantic I was? I contacted everyone for news about you, but nothing! All I got was a big blank!" Her anger held her speechless for a moment, and with a visible effort at calming herself, she spoke again. "And what is your excuse?" Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"I am sorry, Dora," he said, his eyes downcast. "I thought it better to distance myself from you, now that you are...pregnant, but now I have realised that it was a really stupid mistake on my part. I will never, ever repeat this folly. Will you please forgive me?" he looked up at her beseechingly.

She looked like she was going to slap him, or else shut the door on his face. Her eyes, currently a dark, stormy gray, which reminded him of Sirius, were flashing like thunderclouds. But then she did something Remus had not expected.

She kissed him.

Her lips moved over his fiercely, her entire self radiating anger. Remus didn't know whether to pull away or not, for she seemed to be exhausting both of their oxygen supplies. Yet she did not stop. Instead, he let his mind wander as his lips moved under hers, thinking of how much he had missed the feeling of her in his arms, of her soft lips on his, and just how stupid he had been to think of giving it all up.

Finally, she pulled away, and both of them resurfaced, gasping for air.

"Don't think I have forgiven you yet," she huffed, turning away from him as he stood, dazed from the impact of her kiss. But as she stomped away and disappeared up the stairs, Remus couldn't suppress a smile, for her hair had once more turned a shocking shade of bubblegum pink. Her anger was something he knew he could live with, as long as she was with him.

Home sweet home, he thought, as he followed her.
