And suddenly he realised, it wouldn't be the life with him, it was the life without him, that made Tonks unhappy. She was the only one for him, and he just let her turn in grieve, he was going to let her be sad and he couldn't stand it. Suddenly he realised how he missed that bubblegum pink hair and her smile and that the smile hoped for him to run after her. And he did.
Suddenly, Tonks's wrist was grabbed. She was pushed gently against the wall and she felt someone's lips on hers. She had closed her eyes and she didn't even have to open them, that feeling inside her heart, she'd only felt it to one person. Remus Lupin.
Lupin pulled away and Tonks opened her eyes to see the man looking down. But he raised his eyes to look into hers, so he could truly admit, „I was wrong, Tonks, I said the wrong things and I regret them. There is nothing I would rather wish than to be with you and make you happy. I…I'm in love with you. But after what I've said…are you still willing to accept me?"
Tonks felt her heart leap as she was quite speechless. She thought he hated her and now here he was, asking for her to accept him, the man she'd love for ages. Instead of thinking an answer, she pulled Lupin against her and kissed him. It wasn't long till they opened their mouths to give a passionate kiss and neither of them had felt that way before. Tonks felt her face grinning but she just pulled him closer. As soon as they were gasping for air, Lupin noticed the bubblegum pink colour he'd grown to miss. He grabbed her wrist once again and pulled Tonks near a window so she could see her reflection. She smiled, as she saw her favourite colour again and she knew it was there because after a long while, she was amazingly happy again.
The two wandered in hallways and stopped for passionate kisses for hours, till it was morning again and despite their emotions, they had to go the funeral of Dumbledore. As soon as Molly Weasley saw Tonks's hair again, she gave a wide smile to the both of them and waved to them to join the coversation about the new location for the Order, knowing as Grimmauld Place would be vulnerable for Death Eaters after Snape had gone completly on their side. Lupin and Tonks did join, with him holding her hand, as other people, including Harry, started to fill the area.
