Remus POV

The war was over. Voldemort was dead and people were celebrating. I sat at Megan's bedside looking down at her and imagining what she must have gone through over the past day. Sitting here reminded me of our first meeting when I had found her in the forbidden forest in out sixth year. She still looked the same to me. A little older of course and with a few more scars but aside from that, nothing had changed. Her strawberry blonde hair was still as straight as ever and her skin was still pale, even her nails had been picked excessively.

It was just then that her blue eyes opened to see me. She jumped and leaned back away from me as if she thought she had gone mad.

"It's not possible." She muttered, reaching forward to touch my face.

"Apparently it is." I replied with a smile. Just then Harry came into the room with Ron and Hermione just behind.

"I thought you died." Said Ron pointedly. I noticed Hermione give him a look that told him off for his impoliteness but I just smiled.

"So did I." I said in response.

"Would you care to explain how you are alive?" Said Megan slowly. She was still stroking my cheek to reassure herself that I was here.

"I can certainly try." I replied. Harry, Ron and Hermione took a seat. "Ok well... a Death Eater I believe to be called Dolohov shot me with a purple spell and I don't really remember anything else."

"Did it hurt very much?" Asked Hermione.

"A bit yes." I replied. She frowned then as if in deep thought.

"And you say it was Dolohov that cast the spell?" I nodded.

"Why."

"Two years ago I was hit with a purple spell which he cast." She said. "This sounds like the same one."

"Oh yes, I remember. You seemed dead but you still had a really faint pulse." Said Ron

"So you did have a pulse." Megan suddenly said. "When you were on the stretcher out there I moved your hand so it was resting on Tonks' and I could have sworn I felt a pulse but I just told myself it was my imagination."

"I thought he only failed the spell because I had put a silencing charm on him." Hermione said. "But apparently not, he must be just really bad at that spell."

"Well that is the mystery of my survival solved" I said with a small laugh.

Megan POV

When Remus and I were alone again I rested a hand on his hand and gave him a sympathetic smile. He had lost his wife after all. "Sorry about Tonks." I said after a moment. He sighed.

"It's ok." He said and then stopped as if considering whether or not to say something. "You know that just before I saw you and got... you know," I nodded. "Tonks and I had just split up." I couldn't help it but when he said this, my jaw dropped and my hand flew to my mouth.

"Really." I breathed. "Why?"

"Because," He began. "She could tell there was something wrong and she was right."

"What was wrong?" I asked wide eyed, I knew I was getting my hopes up but I honestly couldn't help it.

"I still loved her."

"Yes."

"But I loved you so much more." A smile spread across my face. "That is what I was coming to tell you." He reached up and wiped a tear from my cheek that I didn't know had fallen.

"You still love me." I said in disbelief, I had thought that things would never be the same between the two of us. He nodded and pulled me too him so that our lips touched into a kiss that I had never thought I would have again. I had missed his soft lips gliding over mine and the way he nibbled my bottom lip. His hands ghosted over my hips and up to my hair, I loved him so much and the moment be broke apart I told him so.

A week later I had moved my things back into Remus' apartment and we had a small court case today about who was going to get custody over Teddy which Remus was furious about because he was Teddy's father.

When we got to the court room we met Harry who was also called to be there because he was Teddy's godfather. We all took our seats and waited for the case to begin.

To start with the judge made a huge speech about the reasons we were there and then it began.

"Mr Lupin you are Teddy's father but due to your Lycanthropy the Ministry feels it unsafe to allow you to look after him." The judge said after a long time discussing.

"What, this is ridiculous." I cried, standing up. "He is no less capable as a parent." There was no way I was going to let our Lycanthropy get in the way of this like I had with Harry.

"The child would not be safe on the full moon, you cannot deny that. It would be ok if the boy's mother was still alive because there would be someone to look after him during that time. But regrettably, she is not." Said the judge somewhat bitterly.

"I could take him during the full moon." Said Harry with a raised hand. "I am his godfather." I smiled a thank you at Harry while the judge considered this.

After discussing this proposal for another hour the judge eventually decided that as long as Teddy stayed with Harry for the two days preceding the full moon and the two days after to ensure his safety which was something we agreed with.

When Remus and I got home and Remus had put Teddy to sleep he turned to me with a wide smile on his face. "I love you." He whispered into my ear. "I know it took us a while but we got our happy ending eventually." I nodded.

"You are right." I said. "It did take a very long time. I am glad it came in the end though. I thought it never would." His smile grew wider and he kissed me again.

"Life can finally run smoothly for us now." I said as the kiss ended.

"Yes..." He kissed my jaw line, "It can." Another kiss reached my lips, but only a short one this time.

"I want to marry you Megan." He said suddenly.

"You do?" I could feel my eyes widen. He nodded smiling.

"I don't have a ring I am afraid."

"It doesn't matter, I would probably forget to take it off on a full moon and lose it." I said laughing slightly.

"Is that a yes then?"

"Yeh, yeh it is." And then our lips locked together in another wondrous kiss.

So it has ended. Their happy ending has arrived. I am hoping you all really enjoyed Megan's story.
