A/N: You didn't really believe that it would work like that, right? This is a short chapter, blame UCC!
Dana followed Remus into the room, looking around she was awed by what she saw. The entire room was a tapestry, each wall covered in gold leaves with writing and pictures, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Sirius isn't on here," Dana muttered.
"Dana?"
"Remus?"
Remus sighed, took a longing look at Dana and said, "You know that we can't..."
"Remus before you even start that conversation, I do NOT want to hear it. I'm tired of excuses. I don't care!"
"Look, I can't- no, I won't- make you spend your life with half a man. You deserve so much more. You're entitled to so much more...you're practically a God for goodness sake!"
"Remus, listen-"
"No, YOU listen! I won't do it! That's final!"
"It is not just your decision, Remus."
"Perhaps not, but I've decided."
With that he walked out of the room. Dana turned to the window, watching condensation slide down the glass, the tears on her face mirroring the action.
Snape had heard the whole conversation, as had the rest of the household before Molly managed to shuffle them all into an adjoining room. Snape paused at the doorway before walking in and standing at Dana's side.
"Are you gonna do that all night, cause if so I would like to request a brief reprieve so I can attain a bucket!"
Dana laughed, wiped her face and turned to Snape.
"Always the gentleman," she half-smiled.
Snape could see the pain in her eyes and felt something tug at his long-dormant heartstrings.
"He's a fool," he whispered as Dana left the room.
