"Come on." said lucius eventually. "we need to leave. Andromeda, can we go to yours? Please. This is the first place they will look." Andromeda nodded. "of course. Come on" they apparated to Andromeda's home. Albus and Hermione stood in the middle of the room. "I'm sorry Mrs Tonks, but we needed to get away." Hermione said. Andromeda smiled. "it's fine. You are welcome here." much later Remus sat alone with Tonks. "you love him, don't you?" she asked. Her eyes were filled with tears. "who?" Remus asked softly. "Sirius. I always knew you loved him. I just thought, after his death... But now we're both alive, you'll go back to him. I'd be lying if I said I didn't care, but I do understand. Just, well, did you ever love me? Or was I just a version of him?" Tonks asked." I did. I do. I love you both. I don't want to lose you Tonks." she smiled, though tears poured down her face like a waterfall." talk with him. Maybe we could all be together... " she said. " Tonks, I don't know exactly what your implying, but he is your mother's cousin." Remus said. " oh no! Not like all together, but we could share you. Like Eddie and Mickey Johnston, like Edward and Roger Ferrars, Regina and Zelena Mills, Damon and Stephan Salvatore. Like Theseus and Newt Scamander and Fred and George Weasley." tonks said. "Tonks, in most cases, at least one of them died." a voice said from behind them. Sirius stood there. "muggle fiction. 2 siblings, usually brothers, one lover. Apart from the Weasleys and Scamanders, of course." Sirius said. "you know Tonks, your suggestion is mad. But I can share Remus. His heart is big enough for 2."
