Prompt; the Ex
Characters: Remus Lupin, Tonks, Teddy Lupin, Narcissa Malfoy and Lilah Lupin-Black (OC).
Pairings: Remus X Narcissa, and Ronks. (Or at least that's what I think Remus X Tonks is)
This is a little ironic, me finishing with the Drabble, isn't it? It also includes mentions of Sirius Black. And this is also my second Narcissa X Remus! By the way, is there a ship name for that? And if so, could someone please tell me?
But, I did have fun writing this! But I'm not convinced on how well this uses the prompt. What, was that a little weird sounding?

It was dark and Shadowy in Narcissa and Remus's home. The light from the fire was casting an eerie glow, over the whole room. But, Narcissa didn't mind it. In fact, it symbolized how she was feeling. She was sitting on the couch in front of the fire.
Not that long-ago, Sirius Black, had come to tell her Remus was being unfaithful. Refusing to believe it, Narcissa had kicked Sirius out, (Almost literally too,) yelling and screaming at him for spreading such horrid rumours. Now, Narcissa was waiting for Remus to return, so she could cry on him about how horrid Sirius was, and what horrible lies he'd been spreading.
Right then, the fire turned green, and Remus stepped out of the Fire. "Remus!" cried Narcissa, springing up from the couch and throwing her arm around him.
Remus hugged her, and asked, "Hi Cissa. What's wrong?"
"Sirius is what's wrong! He was here just before, spreading horrible lies about you! he was saying you were being unfaithful, and were meeting up with the McDonald girl," cried Narcissa into his shoulder.
"Err, it is sort of true," said started Remus, feeling awkward. But then, Narcissa cut over him, "WHAT!? How could you!" screamed Narcissa. Then she slapped him, which caused Remus to stagger backwards a little.
Remus said panicking, "Please Narcissa! Just hear me through!"
"NO! I don't need your excuses!" growled Narcissa. Then she used a spell to summon her stuff, then she used another spell to pack it.
As Narcissa threw some floo powder into the fire, turning it green. But then, Remus grabbed her arm, and said, "Narcissa please! You don't understand!"
"Get away from me Wolf!" Snarled Narcissa, wenching her arm from him. Then she stepped into the fire, throwing some power saying, "Moon Manor!"
Then she was gone. Remus broke down on the couch and cried. He cried for the years with his wife lost, he cried for the fact a simple misunderstanding turned a happy couple into an Ex-couple. He said while sobbing into his hands, "Oh Sirius, if only you had kept your mouth shut! It was not what it seemed!"
Years later…
Nymphadora Tonks looked around the House which Remus owned. She suspected she was in love with Remus. But, she was sad because Remus didn't seem interested in her.
However, Tonks could feel a sense of mystery in the air of the house, just waiting for her to solve. Then she noticed something between the cushion and the back of the couch, so she went over to investigate. When Tonks pulled in out, she saw it was a Photo of what looked like Narcissa Malfoy! She was beaming and waving at the camera.
Right then, Remus came in. Tonks asked, "Is this Narcissa Malfoy? My Aunt?"
"Yes, That's the Ex," sighed Remus. Then he said, "We were married for about a year, before Sirius saw something, and he just assumed the worst, so he nobly went and told Narcissa. And he did it without even asking me! When I emitted it was partly true to Narcissa, she took it the wrong way, and then she left me."
"What was it, that Sirius saw?" asked Tonks.
Remus said, "I was hiring someone to do the garden up, as a surprise for Narcissa. But, Sirius saw me with her, and assumed I was having a fling with the Lady. Oh Dora, I am such a fool!"
"No you're not," said Tonks putting her hand on his arm.
Remus smiled, and said, "Thanks."
"Your welcome," said Tonks smiling back.
Years later…
Teddy, Tonks and Remus's son, was cleaning out their house, so he could live in it. But then, the fire turned green, and a white-haired girl around 30 stepped out. She asked timidly, "Is this Remus Lupin's house?"
"Yes, but he's dead I'm afraid. I'm Teddy Lupin, his son," said Teddy.
The girl said, "I'm Lilah Lupin-Black. Nice to meet you, and sorry for wasting your time. I better go,"
"No! wait!" started Teddy, Lilah stopped and looked at him. Teddy said, "How about you stay with me? We are siblings after all! and I could use the company."
"Ok, I will! The only real deference between us is your mother was the Wife, and mine was the Ex, I guess," said Lilah grinning.
Teddy said, "Now, now Lilah, that's no way to talk about your mother."
"God Teddy! Lighten up! Take a joke!" said Lilah laughing, then Teddy laughed with her. They both were looking forward to the days ahead with their sibling. Despite the fact it might have ruined Lilah's life, she was glad her mother had become the Ex-wife of her father. Otherwise, there would be no Teddy. Having Lilah in Teddy's life changed him a lot. He was less lonely, and some of his inner child which he had never got to use came out as well. All in all, it was a good choice for her to live with him.
Not really sure on the ending, but I think it would miss something if I didn't have that bit between Lilah and Teddy. And just in case you think you missed something, Narcissa has died, in that end scene, but Lucius is still alive. And the reason for Sirius dobbing Remus in, is that he cares for his cousin, and he doesn't what her to be in the dark. But being a Gryffindor, he just went straight up to her and told her, and not making sure that he hadn't miss read the situation. And I'm not sure on the exact age Lilah would have been, and I'm too lazy to do the maths.
Ella out. (Love Star Fox Adventures!)
