Written for the Drabble Ship Challenge (Moon Petal) and the 365 challenge (Devoted).

This takes place in an AU where Lily lived but James didn't.


The thing is, he knew that what he was doing was wrong. That was the worst part, the knowledge that he was betraying everyone he knew. James had become an animagus for him. Tonks had stayed with him throughout all his doubts, all the insecurities he had.

And then there were Harry and Teddy, the two boys who deserved a devoted family that was together, not a mother and father who were having affair with each other. Lily and he were wrong, he knew it, but every time he saw her blazing red hair, he ended up falling back into his old habits until they woke up together, realizing what they'd done.

And the worst part of it all was that he didn't even regret it.
