"I would have rather been told by you." Remus admitted, sitting across from her. It was three days before the trial which would be on the 7th of February, and Harry had finally convinced Tonks to allow Remus a visit. Miriam had accompanied Remus, and Harry was simply there because there had to be an Auror present. He and Miriam were standing near the door, trying to allow as much privacy for the visit as they could, quietly discussing Remus' release from St Mungo's that was planned for the next day. He would be staying with Harry at Grimmauld, something Harry was willing to allow permanently so he could help Remus with Teddy.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"How bad is it?" Remus asked.
"What do you mean? It's as bad as they told you-"
"They only told me you have killed four Death Eaters and that Rita Skeeter was a liar." Remus said gently. "Dora, how bad is it? I'm being asked to testify on Wednesday, proving you're not a Death Eater and that Teddy's actually my son- how bad is this entire situation?"
She didn't say anything, instead staring at the table.
"You can tell me now, or I'll hear it all on Wednesday anyway-"
She looked up at him. "I did it. I murdered all four of them."
"You murdered them? You killed four people?"
"I know what murder is, Remus." She snapped. "And they weren't people, they were Death Eaters! They took our son, Remus-"
"And returned him very quickly, from what I heard."
She didn't respond.
"Dora, like I said, I'll hear this all on Wednesday- but I'd like for you to tell me exactly what happened."
She sighed and looked him straight in the eye. "I Obliviated Dolohov. I shagged Greyback, brutally killed Greyback and then proceeded to kill Rookwood, Rabastan and Travers. Three of them didn't have to die, and I still killed them."
"You... is it all werewolves, then?" Remus asked, rage filling him. "Is this your thing? You're just attracted to werewolves?"
"Remus, no-"
"He turned me! He ruined my life, and you- you shagged him! You said you loved me!"
"I do love you, Remus, I do-"
Remus stood, pushing his chair back. "You are mine, Nymphadora. And you let another werewolf mark you-"
"No-"
He turned, walking towards Miriam. "We're done here." He said, not bothering to look at Harry or back at his wife.
"Remus, maybe it's just the moon-" Harry suggested the morning of the trial, while the two men were sitting in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place.
"That's five days away." Remus responded. "But what if what Rita was saying wasn't false-"
"You can't possibly believe what Rita's been saying." Harry said, dumbfounded. "Honestly, you really think Tonks is that type of person?"
"I'm not sure I know what type of person she is." Remus commented. "There were times, in the week before your birthday and the few weeks afterwards, when we were both on Order missions and didn't see each other and the timing would be right-"
"Remus." Harry said gently. "I doubt that during the height of the war your wife was off having an affair with another werewolf."
Remus sighed bitterly.
"And, at the risk of being insensitive for a moment, can't a werewolf- you know- tell?"
Remus narrowed his eyes at Harry. "Are you asking if I can smell when another man has been near my wife?"
"Not in those words, but yes?"
"No, I can't." Remus said after a moment. "The days leading up to a full moon I may notice little things more clearly- if she's changed shampoo, for instance. But no, I've never been able to smell if another person has been near her or anyone else."
"There is a way to find out, Remus. If you really suspect this. Just go to a Muggle doctor and get a paternity test done."
"I haven't been to a Muggle doctor since I was Teddy's age, I never realised Muggles could do those types of things."
"Oh yeah, there's an American TV show all about it."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah, Aunt Petunia used to watch it all the time, I only ever had to watch it during the summers-"
''Don't kid yourself." Ginny commented as she entered. "You still watch it.''
Harry shrugged. "I'm not going to confirm nor deny that allegation, Ginny."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Right, so Teddy's still asleep." She said, before turning to Remus. "It's going to be okay, Remus. Whatever happens today, we're all here for you."
