„Remus?"

„Hm?"

„Why do you always insist on calling me by my first name? Even before we started dating."

Remus smiled as he continued to slowly and gently brush Dora's hair. She was sitting in his lap and playing with his stubble.

„Can I tell you a secret?" he said.

„Of course."

Remus pressed a kiss to her temple. „I didn't call you by your surname because since meeting you for the first time, I've dreamed of changing your last name from Tonks to Lupin."

„You did?"

He nodded. „And now, when I finally did that, I couldn't be happier."
