"Albus, how can you possibly believe that. Yes, we've known each other for a very long time, but that does not mean you can read me like a book, anymore than I can you!"
"Dear girl, I was not insinuating any such thing. I was merely trying to suggest what seems obvious, talk to them, both of them."
"Both? Albus what are you on about? There's only one, only one man I have ever wanted, you know this."
"Yes, my dear, I do. However, I also know how things could work out. I can see the possible futures, as you well know. Trust me, please?"
"I do trust you, Albus. How could I not? I'll talk to him, but I'm not sure who the other is."
"No, I don't suppose you are..."Not yet anyway, he added to himself.
3 months later:
It was christmas time at Grimmauld place.
The Order were gathered around the 'debate' table once more. Snape had just informed Dumbledore of Voldemort's knowledge of Dana. Previously, it had been believed (by the Dark side at least) that Dana had chosen to opt out of taking down Voldemort. In fact, Dana just did not wish to intercede until she was needed, she knew when that time would be even if she'd rather not know or act.
Snape watched as Dana debated with Dumbledore, wondering if his admiration of her could grow anymore, or if anyone was aware of it. Remus stared at Dana, praying for the courage to ask her for what his heart desired. If only he could take the chance.
Remus stood in the hallway saying farewell to the order members. Snape watched sourly as Remus was hugged by each member in turn. Damn werewolf!
As Dana moved to brush past Remus, on her way up the stairs, a shriek was heard from Mrs. Weasley. "Oh dears, ye are under the mistletoe. Well what are you waiting for? I'm sure I don't need to explain the rules!"
Remus glanced shyly at Dana, and she smiled in return, leaning forwards slightly. Remus licked his lips briefly and moved closer. Heads tilted and lips met. Both felt a shock at the sensation and gripped each other in surprise. An urge came over Remus to pull her closer, so he did, wrapping one arm around her waist, his other hand sliding up into her hair. Dana smiled into the kiss and deepened it, sliding her tongue against Remus' bottom lip. Remus grinned and opened his mouth, sliding his tongue along Dana's feeling his heart race and every hair on his body raise.
The other occupants of the house watched in awe, as lights flickered. All save one- Severus Snape was scowling at the pair. Albus Dumbledore glanced at Severus and shuddered, glad that the glare wasn't focused on him. Finally, having seen enough, Severus coughed. Remus and Dana jumped apart, looking around and both blushed when they realised they had been under scrutiny the entire time. They smiled at one another and Remus tilted his head at the empty living room.
Dana noticed Severus' sour expression, I wonder if...she thought. Then she shrugged, knowing Severus would explain in his own time, and followed Remus into the living room.
