It's almost tomorrow again, but it was a busy day. I've decided that I really love the Tonks family. Like, Andromeda and Ted have one of the best and most tragic relationships. Just- they just give me so many feels. Ok, anyway, fangirling aside here's day 7! Hope you like it.

Move
He had to move. He had to pack and say goodbye and leave.
Ted Tonks pulled a baseball cap on his head and turned to find his wife standing in the doorway.
That's why he was leaving- he had to leave for her safety. For Andromeda and Dora and his unborn grandchild. They would be safer without him. Andromeda may be a blood-traitor but she was still a Pureblood and would undoubtedly be safer if he were gone. If the Death Eaters came knocking they would be more likely to leave his girls alone if he was just gone.
"Please don't go." His heart broke at the sound of her voice thick with tears. His resolve almost broke as she hurried into his arms and dissolved into tears.
"I have to go, 'Dromeda. You and Dora will be safer without me."
"I can't lose you, Ted."
He grabbed hold of her arms and looked into her eyes.
"You won't."
"Ted you don't know that! You could-"
"'Dromeda, I know what could happen. But i can't just sit around and wait for them to find me. I'm not registered."
She just stared at him, her eyes and cheeks still wet. He sighed and shook his head.
"I have to go. You know I don't want to but you know I have to." He pulled her close and kissed her hair. "Besides, you aren't gonna lose me. I'm not done loving you yet. You're not going to get rid of me so easily."
He smiled when he heard her muffled laugh.
"I'll go wake Dora. She won't forgive either of us if you leave without saying goodbye."
She started to walk away, sniffling and wiping her still-crying eyes, but Ted pulled her back and kissed her soundly. When he finally pulled away she gave him a watery smile before she left.
As she disappeared out the door his smiled slid off his face and he wanted nothing more than to curl up with his wife and watch a movie or to sit at the kitchen table with Dora and a pot of tea and listen to her talk about work and the Order.
But he couldn't do that. He couldn't stay. He had to leave, had to move. And he would keep moving until it was safe for him to come back to his girls.
