The Question

A series of five drabbles in the strictest sense of the term, meaning EXACTLY 100 words. On the eve of the Final Battle, everyone is asking the same question.

-1Tonks and Lupin's Story: The Photograph

She found him in the bedroom, looking at His photograph.

She told him that she missed Him, too, and because he loved her, he didn't tell her that she couldn't know what it was like to miss Him the way he did, like missing a limb.

She asked him the question. His answer was "no," but he didn't tell her that.

She led him to the bed, asked what he wanted.

What he wanted was for tomorrow to come, so that he could see Sirius and hear Heaven ring with His laughter.

But he didn't tell her that, either.
