So, I do have a less-happy, more dramatic one coming up.

To make up for it, here's this.

Remus had arrived home earlier than usual, and he had been hoping to surprise Tonks.

Unfortunately, he realised as he stood outside their closed bedroom door, she was the one surprising him. He could hear movements on their bed, giggling and- was that panting?

"Calm down! He'll be home soon!" Her voice said between giggles.

While he could have simply cast a Homenum Revelio, he was also dreading the moment he did.

"No! Stop, please!" She said, her giggling louder.

He frowned at the bedroom door. Sure, he was home early, but he would never have expected her to be the type...

He took a deep breath, swinging open the door.

He had been expecting her to be in bed with a man, as much as he didn't want to believe such a thing.

What he hadn't been expecting was a small black labrador puppy to be bouncing all over the bed, her sitting cross legged in the center.

"A dog." Remus said, and her eyes snapped up to meet his.

"You're home early!" She said, scooping up the puppy and standing from the bed to approach him. "I was hoping to surprise you."

"You definitely surprised me. I thought we discussed this-?"

"I know we did, you said animals never liked you much- and well, I took Teddy with me and this was the only puppy that didn't seem to be bothered by him."

"Teddy's not a full werewolf."

"I know, but I didn't want to drag you into a room full of animals, that would have been mean." She said. She held out the puppy, so it was closer to Remus.

The puppy didn't flinch as Remus reached out to pet it. Usually, by this point, regular dogs and cats would try to escape. It had always been a downside to being a werewolf- most animals seemed to hate him. The puppy actually licked Remus' hand, its tail wagging.

"What's its name?"

"His name, and you won't believe this one, is Snuffles." She said, as Remus took the puppy.

"No it's not."

"Yes! There I was, and Teddy pointed him out, and I noticed that this little guy wasn't bothered by Teddy- in fact, seemed excited to see him- and I saw on the sign on his cage. His name is actually Snuffles."

Remus grinned as the puppy writhed in his grip, trying to lick his face.

"Snuffles, huh?"

"Snuffles." She confirmed. "He's already gotten neutered, he's apparently already somewhat trained- which I think was a lie honestly-"

"He's cute."

"So?" She asked. "Do we have a dog?"

Remus nodded. "We have a dog."
