Wonder of The damned
Forgetful
The little cottage Remus brought her to bear and empty. She didn't ask why. She simply put flare of color in removable places. If she was to die, Remus would only throw away the little bits of her but if she painted a wall the reminder of her would haunt him like Sirius haunted him every time he walked into the cottage. Their room was the one place she couldn't see Sirius haunting him. Teddy's room was another story. She figured that he switched the master room when he brought her there. he did love her she remained herself. He loved her enough to marry her and have a baby with her. He did all the things a married man would do for the wife he loved, but they seem practiced and formal to her.
When she woke up in their bed May1st, 1998 she saw him smile in his sleep. Teddy fussed in the room down the hall. When she walked in to it smelled vaguely like cigarette smoke. Last night after coming home from the Weasley she found Remus outside with a cigarette under his shoe. She didn't mention it when his breath smelled like Tabaco when he kissed her cheek. She picked her infant son up and smiled as he shifted his hair to her normal spikey pink and smiled. Her heart broke as she remembered that Teddy didn't actually know he was smiling at her. he shifted again as baby metamorphamagi often do. His eyes took on Remus amber color and her mother's dark black hair. The black family hair. Her eyes traced the other familiar features on Teddy face and for a second she saw what could have been Remus' and Sirius' child. She held her son close swaying him back to sleep. She didn't have postpartum depression, she reassured herself, it was just the war.
She noticed a photograph on the changing table that wasn't there before. A Harry look alike with hazel eyes had his arms around a redhead with green eyes. Two boys sat next to them, one with black hair and the other with amber eyes. The black haired boy had his arm wrapped around the amber eyed boy and their pinkies were linked. Remus had been looking at old photos last night Nymphadora figured out. She flipped it over because she could not put her finger on the colorful room they were in.
Jamie and the three weirdest people he has ever meet Lil's Pad's and Moons. Spring 2019.
Nymphadora felt her sons breath on her skin telling her he was asleep. She put him Teddy down in his crib and sat down on the ground controlling her tears. This was why Remus was happy, he knew he was going to be with Sirius again.
It's just a photograph she told herself, that still didn't explain why it was dated twenty one years in the future. How could Remus get a hold of this? A time traveler, a spell gone wrong, a mutant potion, anything. Tonks picked the photo up and aimed her wand at it determined to destroy it.
She couldn't, but she could hide it. Remus had boxes in the attic of his old school photos he never looked at. She found a box labeled School days and stuck the photo in there before heading to the kitchen to start breakfast. When she was mixing up the batter in a Recipe Molly gave her Remus was in the kitchen with his navy blue pajama bottoms and he looked so happy. He grabbed her waist and kissed her good morning, "You look lovely this morning, Pad's," he said. She froze checking on her features. Black hair, sliver eyes and a shapeless torso.
"You're in a good mood," Nymphadora said not mentioning his mistake.
Remus looked at her though his too long hair, "I have a feeling something good is going to happen soon, that's all."
I cried writing this . I felt bad for Tonks she needed her Charlie, but wouldn't admit ti because he scewed up real bad when they were younger. So bad even Ginny knew it.
