Pink And Beastly (Ronks)

Chapter 23 ~ Dancing In The Stars

Remus and Tonks pulled out of the bowl. Their faces magically dry. Their faces showed sadness and shock.

"Nine years. Nine years have passed and it's only been a few hours here." Tonks sniffed, wiping her eyes.

"He doesn't want me to be his dad.." Remus said emotionless.

"What? No of course he wants you as his dad." Tonks cried

"You saw right there he wanted Harry. Always has to be Harry." Remus said bitterly.

"Hey, it isn't Teddy's fault. He's young and confused. He even realized at the end that Harry won't be his dad, ever. Nothing can replace you." Tonks said, almost begging him to stay.

Remus sighed before storming out through the doors loudly.

"Remus! Remus wait!" Tonks called. "Wait!"

Remus groaned and stopped to face her.

"Wait please." Tonks sighed

"Why. I'm not going in that room again, ever. It was a nice thought but, Lily shouldn't have brought me here." Remus said, "I thought I wanted to see Teddy, but I was better off not knowing."

"Look Remus, at least we know he's ok. I mean, if you hadn't looked now, you might never have looked." Tonks said. "And you would have regretted not going."

As Tonks searched his eyes, she could see that he was calming down. Running his hands through his hair he said, "I guess you're right. It's just everything we've been through, all I put you through. I was scared it was all for nothing."

Tonks nodded before taking his hand and they walked side by side along the clean, black, tarmac road. They didn't exactly know where they were going, but their feet took them where they wanted to go.

The couple soon reached a house, and they instantly knew it was theirs. On the door was a sign saying 'Lupin and Tonks Residence'. It flashed silver and pink, making it more noticeable.

"I think this is ours." Remus laughed

"Pfft, nah. What makes you say that?" Tonks said sarcastically before giggling.

Remus shook his head before he turned the door handle. What was inside made him gasp.

"What the-"

The inside of the house looked exactly like the one from when they were alive. It had the same cozy feeling. Even smelled the same. Only difference was, there was no nursery for Teddy, just a bare white room.

"This is crazy." Tonks sniffed, looking at all the photos. "As there isn't a toilet here. No bathroom actually."

"Well, we are dead. I don't think we need to pee, or shower." Remus said.

Tonks was still looking around the house. She felt as is she didn't know the place at all, but she did. She lived there alone for years. And with Remus for not nearly a year, a mere four or fiveish months. If that. They looked around for ages, taking very detail and smell.

"I'm going to bed." Tonks said after a while. "My head hurts from this eventful....how ever long it's been."

"I'll come with you." Remus said, following her up the stairs.

Their room was the exact same as well. They liked it like that, didn't have to change to a strange and unnatural bed. The two changed into their PJ's they found in the wardrobe before snuggling together under the covers. Remus kissed Tonks's neck before hugging her more.

"Night Tonks." Remus whispered.

But Tonks was already asleep. And as soon as Remus had closed his eyes, he was asleep too.
