Remus's POV
I stood in front of Dora's parents' house, where they all were. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Andromeda opened it. When she saw me, she narrowed her eyes, and pursed her lips together. She regarded me coldly, and then, finally, said something.
"What do you want?" she asked, disgusted.
"To talk to Dora," I said.
"And why should I let you?" she asked, raising a very good point.
"Because I have to talk to her," I said, painfully.
She left, and went to go get Dora. Dora came over to the door, and my heart broke. I couldn't believe what I had done, now that I saw her. Her stomach was starting to show her pregnancy, and she looked like she slept for days.
"You?!" She exclaimed, furious.
"Dora, I know—" I started.
"No you don't! You left! You left me! You left us! You said you were never going to leave again, but you're such a liar, Remus!" she exploded.
"I came back—" I began again.
"Months later! What were you doing?! Running off, and having a grand ol' time!? I cried for days! I could barely eat! What have you been doing, exactly, Remus?!" Dora really was mad, madder than I have ever seen her.
"You're right," I said, making her stop with shock. "I was wrong to leave you. It took me a while to come back, since I was so ashamed of myself, what I did. I'm a coward, and I don't deserve you. Feel free to kick me out."
"Are you serious? I'm not letting you get away, again. Now get in here, it's cold." Numb, I stepped inside the warm house. Dora frowned, hands on her hips. "Go upstairs and get some warm clothes on." I started to go upstairs, and heard Dora call out, "and don't think I'm done with you!"
The next few days, I started to be forgiven. Andromeda didn't ignore me all the time and Ted talked to me a lot. Dora started to be more cheerful. As for me, I was deeply and completely in love again.
