No Pain No Gain

It hurt Harry the day he found out they were married. He tried to be happy for them – like everybody else – but it was hard.

When she announced that she was pregnant, the pain was too overwhelming. He hated Remus after that moment, but he did the right thing when he told him to go back to her. She needed her husband.

Ever since he'd laid eyes on her, he had known she was perfect for him. She was smart, funny, and displayed a good sense of humour about almost any situation.

Remus was lucky to have her as a wife, everyone was lucky to have her as a friend.

Although he was hurt, and although it almost killed him whenever he saw them together, he knew reacting to it was the worst thing he could possibly do.

Was it better to endure their relationship; endure them fawn over each other and still get the chance to see her, or was it better to get angry, yell and scream like a child, and lose her as a friend?

Harry Potter loved Nymphadora Tonks, but she was a married woman with a baby on the way.

He was just a boy.

Although it felt like she was ripping his heart out every time they were near, he knew he could suffer through it.

Because if he didn't have the pain, then he wouldn't have his friend.
