Twelve Days of Christmas
December Twenty-Sixth

Hogsmeade

"Not all Christmas gifts came on Christmas day," Andromeda Tonks was fond of saying. For once, her headstrong rebel daughter was in full agreement with her mother. Their first kiss, a stolen moment's slight brushing of lips in a broom cupboard that was purely innocent had happened on the twenty-sixth of December, at 3 minutes past midnight. Their first earnest kiss had come nearly a year later, stolen once again in said broom-cupboard as Remus headed off on some secret mission she couldn't join him on. The year following that they had learned of Sirius's fate on the twenty-sixth of December, a ghostly visitor came wishing them well in their future life together.

And it was four years after the death of Sirius Black and a year following the defeat of Tom 'Lord Voldemort' Riddle at the hands of Harry Potter that Remus and Nymphadora Tonks Lupin welcomed their eight pounds and ten ounces daughter Roslyn Theodora Lupin into the Wizarding community. On December twenty-sixth, five years after that little kiss they had shared so innocently, the happy new parents shared an equally innocent kiss over the head of their sleeping baby.

And for once Tonks Lupin agreed with her mother. Even if she'd given Tonks the absolutely worst name a mother could ever give her child.
