"I'm proposing to you, devil woman. Now listen."

Her eyes are blue today.

"Tonks, I love you. I've never loved anyone. I-"

No. I WILL not turn back.

"I need you to marry me and take care of me and be the mother of my children. Because- well, because."

That didn't go the way I'd planned.

"Stupid man, you didn't even have to ask." She turns up her nose, and walks away.

Kneeling, alone in the room, I wonder: is this joy?
