Sunshine - A New Dawn for Remus Lupin

Remus Lupin is presumed dead in the Battle of Hogwarts, but he is merely in a coma.
Upon waking, he loses the will to live after learning that Tonks died in the battle.
His son, Teddy, and returning to his old position as a professor at Hogwarts become his only reasons to carry on, until 10 years later a deep friendship with a new Hogwarts Divination teacher brings color back into his world.

NOTES: This story is a remake for my fanfiction "A New Dawn".
1. This my lightest fanfic ever, despite it's sad first chapters.
2. Please, bear in mind that English's not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes or errors.

3. I don't usually go against canon. However, the idea of Lupin surviving, even with his spirit appearing to Harry, fits perfectly with the concept of a coma and could have happened. We can fit it into canon.

I absolutely adore Tonks with all my heart, but I've had a crush on Remus Lupin ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban almost 20 years ago, before seeing the film. Back then, I used to write fanfics (during classes!!! Oops! Even so, I still got good grades! haha) about Remus Lupin and a character entirely inspired by me, called Mary Hallow. In one of those fanfics, set in the Marauders' era and called "Memories of a Marauder Wolf" -which I'm currently trying to rewrite, but it hasn't been easy-I worked through my teenage traumas with the story I wrote.

Although nowadays I only read and write 'Remadora' fanfics (Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks), I decided to revisit Mary Hallow to work through my adult traumas (or as I like to say, 'exorcise my demons'). So, even though this Mary Hallow no longer has a certain issue that defined her in my older fanfics, many of the things in the story are-once again-things I personally experienced.

Basically, it's just another 'fanfic' to complement my therapy sessions. LOL
