A/N: Here it is, folks, the very end of Chemistry for Werewolves, 101. I do hope that you all have enjoyed reading it. A big thanks goes out to my betas, Aljinon and Swordsmistress, as well as everyone who reviewed – I wouldn't have finished this if it were not for all of you! So, without any further ado…
On with the Story!
Epilogue
Remus Lupin stared down at the gold edged plate in front of him, the intricate pattern catching his attention. Curling its way around the plate, he was reminded of the lock of gold hair curling through the hair of a much admired and cared for woman. Now lost in his thoughts, he failed to notice the sudden collective gasp and the laughter that followed from the crowd around him. They were, however, most definitely pleasant thoughts, despite the small frown on his forehead. Images of a pretty young woman with honey coloured eyes and softly curling brown hair flashed through his mind, smiling, crying, laughing...his thoughts were solely fixed on her. The frown disappeared as he remembered shy kisses in a small art gallery above an old picture framing store…holding hands during walks in a park…cheering wildly at quidditch games…quiet dinners in a small, secluded cottage…her smile…
Suddenly a gentle hand on his arm brought him back to the present, and he looked up into the very smile he'd been thinking of.
"Hey there," Sarah's eyes sparkled. "I don't think you'd want to miss this!"
Puzzled, Remus looked out across the large open space beyond the table they sat out to the many friends gathered there. Loud cheering and laughter filled the large room as a tall, handsomely dressed man walked determinedly across the dance floor over to where a increasingly reddening man sat, looking extremely nervous. Remus smiled widely, comprehension dawning as Sirius bowed low, his flair for the dramatic not leaving him even as he faced his task.
"Severus," he asked, holding out his hand to the scowling man. "May I have this dance?"
A/N: sob it's over!! Actually, that's not entirely true – anyone up for a sequel? If I get enough feedback, I may just do that. However, I will be going through the first 8 or so chapters (at the very least) and rewriting them so that I can post it on Wolfsbane. So, if anyone is interested in reading a hopefully better, most definitely longer, expanded version, look for it at in the coming weeks. Anyhoo, hope everyone has a great holiday!!!
