A/N: Last chapter, enjoy!
Takes place about two years after the end of the last chapter.
"Remus, Remus, Remus," shouted a very excited Tonks, as she burst through the front door of 12 Grimmauld Place.
"What's wrong Nymph, what happened?" he answered walking in to greet her from the kitchen. The couple had moved in permanently two years ago. It still served as the headquarters for the Order, but Remus held the deed to the house. Sirius had left it to him in his will.
"Nothings wrong," she practically shouted, "everything is wonderful, beautiful..." He grabbed her by the wrists, turned her around, and kissed her full on the mouth. That shut her up very quickly.
"Now," he said very patiently,"can you tell me, without shouting, exactly what is going on?"
"It's Harry," she said, "he's done it, he's defeated Voldemort."
"When, how," he asked the excitement and joy growing on his face.
"Last night," came the reply, "we don't know the details yet. Harry is alive, but in St. Mungos." Noting the worry on his face, she said, "He'll live. The injuries are not that serious. It's finally happened, he's gone for good." At the last statement, he burst into tears. He cried for all the victims, for Sirius, for Lily and James, for Cedric, and for the countless others. He also cried in joy. His torment was gone. The fear that had always under shadowed his life was gone. He was free.
"Whatever are you crying for?" asked a very confused Tonks as she gathered him into her arms.
"I'm j...just so happy!" He sobbed into her shoulder. He quickly dried his tears, and an unreadable expression crossed his face. "Nymph," he asked using the pet name that he had given her, "will you meet me at the edge of Hogsmeade tonight around seven?"
"Alright," she said, "see you there." With that, she gave him a quick kiss, and skipped off.

That night at the appointed time, Tonks walked into Hogsmeade. At the end of the lane she saw Remus and ran to meet him. Their relationship was a good one, even with the age difference.
"So, what's this all about," she asked. He placed a finger to his lips, and took her hand, leading her off to a blanket that she had not noticed before.
"I thought that we would have a celebration picnic," whispered Remus. He waved his wand and the candles ignited. They sank onto the blanket together both smiling broadly. The meal was a good one. Remus' cooking skills had come a long way.
Towards the end of the meal, he pulled something out of his pocket. "Nymph," he began," we've been through a lot together, and I really hate to think of what life would be like without you. I love you. I've been waiting for the end of the war and here it is, so would you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" With this statement, he opened the small black box that he was holding, to reveal a ring.
"O Remus," she breathed, "yes, yes I'll marry you." She flung herself into his arms and kissed him fiercely. "I love you."
"You know," said Remus, "I'm sure that there are some great parties happening tonight."
"Well what are we waiting for?" she said. "Let's go."
***
Four months later, they were married. It wasn't a very large ceremony, but it was fun. Harry was Remus' best man, having fully recovered from his injuries. And so, they lived happily ever (or as happily as you can!)
