Arthur was on a date; a real honest to goodness date. He hadn't so much as thought about other women since his beloved Molly passed on five years ago. He still worked at the Ministry of Magic, but now he was the head of the Charms department, which had several subdivisions under his command. His children saw him seem to just coast through life and not pay attention to anything except his basic human needs and his work. None of his children lived at home, but they made the effort to visit him once a week at least, to help out with the housework and the cooking. But his children thought he was due some happiness in his life. They set him up to meet a mystery woman at Florean Fortescue at noon. In walked Andromeda Tonks. She saw him and walked over. Arthur perked up when he saw her and got up to greet her.
"Andromeda," he said. "It's been too long, how've you been?"
"I'm well actually. I see your children have chosen us to have this little get together," she said with a small smile.
"Oh," he said in surprise. "I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable."
"I don't think it could," she said simply. He quickly went over to pull out her chair for her. She smiled and sat down before he sat back down in his seat opposite her. And it all went from there.
Two years later
"So, do you want to move in here?" Arthur asked.
"What?"
"Well, we pretty much spend all our time here," he reasoned, turning her over in bed. "Why should you still have to keep your house?"
"You have a point," Andromeda replied.
"So move in with me?"
"Alright then," she conceded, snuggling back into his arms.
