#and Remus calls him my sweetheart in welsh

@wolfstarmicrofic March 16 – prompt 16: Episkey – word count 264

Episkey - Heals minor injuries

Sometimes Remus thought he had lost too much for just one lifetime. He would wake up with a crushing weight on his chest and usually run to the garden with a cup of tea to calm down. It was too much, too much loss. So many friends and family, all gone in the first war. Those twelve years of losing himself at the bottom of a bottle. All the others, some of whom he had even taught for a year, gone in the second war. So much loss, clinging to him like a poisonous vine.

A scream followed by a loud wail made him come back to himself and he turned around to see the little boy sprawled on the garden path, crying. He hurried to him, while Sirius sprinted from the cottage door.

“It’s alright, mon coeur, it’s alright,” Sirius said, as he picked the boy up. “You wanted to run to Dad but you fell?”

“Anwell hurt,” the boy whined, extending a tiny bruised hand towards Remus.

Remus sat down by his husband and their son, taking the tiny hand in his and having a look at it.

“It’s only a scratch, fy nghariad, Dad and Papa will make it better in no time,” he said, taking his wand from his pocket. “Episkey! See? It’s all gone now.”

Anwell stopped crying and finally smiled, his face red from the tears. Remus smiled back. Yes, so much loss. But that was the past. And the present looked bright enough. Bright as the smile on his son’s face and on the man he loved.

"Summer night-- even the stars are whispering to each other." — Kobayashi Issa

The end of the school year arrived. It felt like it’d been yesterday when she had say goodbye to her parents and boarded a train completely alone; and now she was about to board the train once more, but unlike the first time, she was now joined by a group of noisy Gryffindors and a pretty grumpy Slytherin. “I can’t believe the year is over!” Sirius growled “Ah...it’s gonna be quite a boring summer. I might sneak to your place, James…” “You know mum and dad always welcomes you anyway…” James chuckled “Same as Peter…” “So I take you live pretty close by?” Tonks asked sitting down next to the window. “Yup, east London...pretty nice actually…” James nodded. “You mean snob…” Sirius snorted. “You two are city boys huh?” Lily said tilting her head “That explains a lot.” “Severus and you are neighbors, aren’t you?” Tonks asked. “Yes…” Lily nodded with a smile. “You’re lucky...I don’t think I have anyone close to hang out on summer…” “Where do you live?” Lupin asked. “York...a small town called Castleton…” Tonks shrugged. “Ohhh, you’re a yorkie too? Well, don’t worry about that. Remus here is a yorkie, too.” Sirius smiled. Lupin rolled his eyes at Sirius use of a dog breed to address them. He then turned to Tonks who seemed quite excited about the news. “You’re from York?” “Yes, Heatham Hollow….it isn’t far from Castleton. We might as well hang out during summer…” he smiled. “See that’s fixed…” Lily smiled “You won’t be lonely after all. Remus will visit you! And we will write you tons of letters, right Severus?” “Oh, I was planning on that anyway. You think I’m going to let him forget about me during summer? Not a chance…” Tonks laughed. “...I might consider burning anything you send me, Nymphadora….” “FOR MERLIN’S BEARD….it’s TONKS….” she answered annoyed and she saw the grumpy Slytherin smirk. Well, as long as the boy was a little happier, she could deal with the name harassment. “I might as well go visit some time, too.” Sirius smiled “go see old cousin Dromeda.” “Mmm as long as you’re in good terms with her...I wouldn’t want her to Hex you because a Black stepped into our front yard…” “I only met her a couple times when I was a kid. I liked her since she was nice. Thousand times nicer than her sisters.” “Well, I tell her you said that.” “If Sirius and Remus can go...does it mean we can, too?” James asked with a grin. “Well, sure I guess. I’m sure mum and dad wouldn’t mind the company and since we are at it, maybe you can drag Lily and Severus too.” “That’d be lovely…” “I pass. It’s most likely that I’d have to deal with you for another year next term. I want a peaceful summer…” Snape said shaking his head. “Aw...I’ll think of you too…” Tonks replied rolling her eyes and winning so snickers from the other kids. “We can all go visit, Remus afterwards…” “I’m sure my parents wouldn’t mind either…”Lupin nodded. “It is a plan, then.” It was a half made plan, but Tonks didn’t care. As long as she got to see her friends during summer vacation, she was more than looking forward to it.

*** Tonks felt happy to be home. Her parents had showered her with love, hugs and sweets. It was more than evident that the Tonks had missed their dear daughter, but they had been glad to hear about her friends and were more and excited about meeting them in the near future. The first days she had spent the mornings in the garden with her mother. The young girl would show her mum a plant and then she’d continue to tell her all the properties and uses that she had learned in her gathering adventures along Snape and professor Slughorn. Her mother would look at her proudly and ask her more about her little excursions and the kids she so fondly talked about. Sometimes, her dad would join and he would purposely ask something about a plant feigning ignorance. Then the three of them would laugh. It was the happiest she had ever been. Honoring his word, Lupin sent an owl a few weeks after the start of summer vacation, telling her that he and his parents would be visiting Castleton in three weeks and that’d he’d love to spend some time with her. Needless to say, she was delighted with the idea and her parents were more than glad to meet the famous Remus Lupin that their daughter was so fond of. That morning, the weather was nice and fresh, so Tonks had decided to take a stroll to the small river that was a few meters from her house. She was walking around down the road when she found a small featherless baby bird in the middle of the road. It was so lonely and vulnerable that Tonks didn’t have the heart to leave it there. So she picked it up carefully and began searching around the nearest trees until she came up with the nest. It wasn’t too high and the tree seemed perfectly climbable, but knowing her amazing lack of graceness, she wasn’t sure she would make the climb unscathed. The girl bit her lip in thought and looked at the bird tucked in her hand, and thought that if she had to break her arm to get the animal back in its home, then so be it. It’d be a worthy war injury. The climb was easy and smooth. She didn’t lose her footing nor she slipped. Perhaps she’d make it out neatly this time, she thought. When she reached the nest, she carefully put the bird back in its place and smiled. “There you are...no better place than home, right? And now be careful. You don’t want to fall over again,would you?” Tonks giggled. It wasn’t like the bird would answer anyway “Alright, now I’ve got to get down from here. I’ll see you around…”

Tonks turned away with the intention of climbing down and a sudden thought crossed her mind. She could now understand why cats could climb up a tree, but never climb down. The latter was much harder and when the branch she had grabbed broke sending her unceremoniously, she told herself she’d never climb a tree again. To her surprise the impact wasn’t as hard as she anticipated. “Tonks...we really need to stop stumbling to each other like this…” a familiar voice groaned with a small hint of amusement. Tonks looked up. Lupin was spread on the ground by her side; and she realized that she must have hit him on her way down from the tree. “Remus!” she groaned horrified “Oh, Merlin...did I hurt you?” “I’m fine….” he laughed “It’s just amusing how we always stumble with each other like this.” “You mean...how I always seem to fall on you?” “Yes, basically…” The two laughed. Lupin pushed himself up and patted the soil from his clothes before helping Tonks on her feet. He gave her a quick scan and was satisfied when he found no injuries on her. “What were you doing on a tree?” “Eh...getting a bird back home?” she smiled “I was doing pretty well…” “Until you...fell?” Lupin frowned. “Well, in my defense it wasn’t like I tripped. The branch broke….and I will never mock cats again. Climbing down trees is the worst.” Lupin laughed loudly at her last remark and Tonks smiled. It’s been a while since she heard him laugh. “Remus?” Tonks hadn’t noticed the couple standing behind Lupin until the woman had spoken. She was pretty with long honey colored hair and hazel eyes that slightly reminded her of Lupin’s; the man by her side was tall, with a friendly smile and green eyes. His hair was neatly combed, but if it hadn’t, it would have most likely looked like Lupin’s. “Oh, mum, dad…” Lupin smiled “This is Nymphadora Tonks. The friend I told you about…” “Didn’t we agree it was only Tonks…?” she pouted at him “Ehm...hello, nice to meet you. Ehm, I didn’t meant to fall on your son...it was...sort of an accident?” The Lupins smiled at her as they walked closer and Tonks could almost feel the flush of embarrassment in her cheeks, but she was quick to morph it off. “It’s alright sweetheart. Are you alright?” Mrs. Lupin asked with a smile. “Oh, I’m okay. I’m already used to it, I think….” “Falling from trees?” Mr. Lupin asked amused. His smile was the exact replica of Lupin’s. “Yeah, well no...I mean...mostly...falling..,” “Oh, if I’m not mistaken...I think Remus did mention that you two met when you fell on the train…” “Ah...yeah…” Tonks shrugged “How many times did I trip that day?” “I counted three…” Lupin chuckled “Twice in the train and one during the sorting ceremony.” “Oh, did you have to remind me that?” Tonks said rolling her eyes “How come you didn’t tell me you’ll come today?” “We just arrived. I thought about sending you an owl, but mum wanted to walk around for bit.” “It’s such a pretty day for a walk after all…”Mrs. Lupin smiled. “Oh, it is! You should go to the river. It’s a really nice sight…” Tonks smiled “My house is right up this hill. Would you like to come? My parents would be delighted with the company…” “Oh, we wouldn’t want to intrude. We are here unannounced after all.” Mr. Lupin said politely. “My parents won’t mind. We don’t get too many visitors and I think they get a little bored dealing only with me…” “Is that really possible?” Lupin laughed. “I don’t know...maybe?” Tonks shrugged “I’m not that entertaining,” “I beg to differ…” Lupin chuckled. “Either way...please. If you’re not too busy, I’m sure they’d love to receive you…” Lupin’s parents exchanged looks and then nodded. Tonks was delighted to lead them to her house. When they reached her house, Andromeda was planting some new plants in the garden, while Ted read the newspapers in the front porch. Both of them seemed quite surprised to see her daughter return with company, but just as Tonks had said, the Tonks were more than delighted to receive their unexpected guests. Introductions were made and soon the adults had headed into the living room to share some tea and pastries. Lupin’s mother, Hope and Ted soon discovered that they had gone to the same school when they were younger. They were both Welsh after all. Soon enough the four adults were happily chatting like old friends giving the younger ones the chance to sneak out. “Well, told you they would be happy to receive you…” Tonks laughed “Come on, I’ll give you a tour around…” “Does the tour include climbing trees?” “Maybe...but you’ll do that alone or you’ll have me falling over you again.” “I’m sure I could catch you. You’re quite small after all…” “Just because you’re tall doesn’t mean you can bully me for being small…” “I didn’t mean to bully you…” he laughed “I think it is cute. You don’t seem to have neighbors…” “No we don’t. Dad and mum prefer to keep muggle company limited and well, we are not exactly...comfortable with magic neighbors either…” “Why not?” “Well, after a whole year with Boreas rubbing it in my face, I thought you would have caught on. You’re the brilliant mind in the group after all…” “You mean...your mum and all the pure-blood supremacy?” “Yes. Mum has her own army of enemies, courtesy of my two dear aunts…” she sighed “so we keep a very a low profile, but hey. It isn’t that bad...not having neighbors, I mean…” “I suppose. This place is really nice.” “Yes, we’re close to the moors. If we climb up that hill over there, you can see them. Sometimes at night you get to see lights. Dad said they’re hinkypunks.” “Oh, probably. Dad was interested in that, hence why he wanted to visit Castleton.” “What does your dad do?” “He’s a researcher. He’s a specialist in Non-human-spiritous apparitions, but he does a bit with magical creatures and defense against dark arts, too.” “That’s so cool. Now I know why you’re so good in that assignment; it is in your blood…” Lupin smiled shyly as Tonks guided him to and old tree swing at the top of the hill. The spot had a wonderful view of the moors, he thought as he sat in the swing next to Tonks. “Don’t worry. The swing was charmed by my dad to make sure I wouldn’t fall from it in anyway, so it will stand our weight...” Tonks smiled “The view is beautiful, isn’t it?” “Yes, it is….” “It’s even prettier at night. The sky is so filled with stars…” “Now I see why you have the habit of taking night strolls…” Lupin chuckled. “How did you know?” Tonks said surprised. Lupin felt like smacking himself. She didn’t know he was Mr. Wolfie, so he wasn’t supposed to know about her full moon escapades. “Ah...Snape might have said something….” “Oh, yeah….I did stumble with him a few times when he was out with Slughorn.“ Tonks nodded. “Has Sirius written to you?” he asked trying to change the topic. “Oh, he did. He wrote a whole parchment complaining about his family and saying how much he wanted to visit. He’s probably run off to James by now…” “Yes, most likely. The Potters are really nice people. At least they are not Pure-blood obsessed like the Blacks.” “That sounds nice.” “You know there are a lot of wizards who wouldn’t mind about your mother…” “I know. Not all wizards are gits; but the Black family is ...influential. So…” “They wouldn’t want to go against them. I think I know what you mean…” Lupin nodded “Well, I’m sure my parents are more than delighted to go against that.” “Haha, well my dad is definitely comfortable with your mom. Can you believe they went to the same muggle school?” “Yes, it is curious. To think they knew each other. That’s really a surprise…” “I already expected your dad to know my mum; but that was a nice surprise…” she grinned “how long will you be staying?” “A few days. Dad wants to look around and ask some questions. Mum wanted to know the area too....” “Oh, maybe my mum will want to volunteer as guide. Either way, it’d be nice to have you around for a bit…” “That would be nice.” Lupin nodded.

They spent the rest of the morning chatting and laughing until Andromeda’s magical voice called them -using her full name, to her despair. The Lupins had to leave since they had an engagement programmed for the afternoon. So Lupin had left with his parents promising to come by the next day. “That’s a nice boy…” Ted said watching them walk away. “He is…” I smiled proudly. “He’s such a gentleman. It’s obvious he’s been well taught by her parents. They’re really nice people, and we don’t need to worry about repercussions, considering that Hope is a muggle. I invited them for dinner the day after tomorrow.” “Oh, that will be delightful. It’d be nice to have them over again.”

What they didn’t suspect, was that they’d have another unexpected visitor soon. Tonks was helping her mother pick up some mulberries for a tart she was planning to make for the Lupins when she heard voices coming from the road. She immediately recognized the strong laugh and her eyes widened. “SIRIUS?” she shouted when she recognize the familiar mane of thick black hair and the charming smile. Lupin stood behind him with a faint smile. His arms were crossed over his chest and he seemed slightly apologetical. “Hey cous! Happy to see me?” “...More like….surprised. What are you doing here?” “Got tired of my family, so I flooed here.” Sirius shrugged “I knew Moony was staying in a hotel close by and went to find him.” “It was a surprise for my parents, as well…” Lupin shrugged “Since I was planning on coming, I thought I should take him along.” “You live in a nice place…” Sirius said looking around “A little lonely, maybe, but nice. I like it...so what are you doing?” “Picking up berries….” Tonks replied still a little shocked “Mum wants to make berry tarts.” “Ah, I should go say hi…” Without waiting for Tonks replied, Sirius headed to the house and Lupin stood at her side with a smile. “I don’t reckon your father set some Anti-Black spells, did he?” “Oh...if only, haha…” Tonks laughed.

Andromeda’s shock to find her younger cousin standing in the front yard with a smile and waving at her couldn’t be described with words; but Lupin thought that her face when she saw Sirius was exactly the same look that Tonks had a few minutes before. After recovering from the shock, Andromeda smiled and dragged them into the house and showered them with food. “Feel fortunate. Mum doesn’t throw food at anyone…” Tonks laughed “I hope you’re hungry…” “Ah, I’m more than willing to eat it.” Sirius smiled “This is a thousand times better than eating at my home…” “Which reminds me that you haven’t answered my question.” Lupin said with a raised eyebrow “Where do you plan to stay, Sirius?” “Ah….that….” “Oh, he can stay here. We have spare rooms…” Andromeda said pouring them more tea “I don’t have the honor of receiving likeable family visits that often. You can stay with us for as long as you want…” “Well, thank you, Dromeda.” Sirius grinned “See, Moony? All under control…” “You’re just too lucky, Sirius.” Lupin sighed rolling his eyes. “I thought you were planning to run to James…” Tonks said tilting her head “What made you change your mind?” “What? I can’t come visit my two favorite cousins and one of my best mates?” Both Lupin and Tonks looked him skeptically. “Oh, fine. James and his family went off to Birmingham. He said something about paying Evans and Snivellus a visit on the way. He did say I could tag along, but it wasn’t that appealing.” “So you decided to run off here?” Lupin said shaking his head “Seriously… your parents must be so annoyed.” “I bet they are….but that’s the whole point.” Sirius replied winking at them “So how long are you staying, Moony?” “Not sure yet. Depends of what my dad finds, but it won’t be more than three weeks… “Why not?” Tonks asked curiously and Lupin seemed a little nervous. “Well, I have to go back...I have an event I that I can’t miss…” “Oh...I understand.” “Well you can always come back afterwards. I mean...I suppose your house is connected to the Floo...isn’t it, cous?” “Eh, yes. Why?” “Then Moony just needs to floo here and that’s fixed.” Sirius shrugged. “Sirius, just how long are you planning to stay here?” Lupin asked with a frown. “Well...I was thinking about the whole summer….” “What?” Tonks and Lupin said at the same time. “Oh, come on. I’m sure Tonksie would love the company.” “Sirius...you’re staying in someone else’s house. You can’t just invite yourself to stay over the whole summer…” Lupin said sternly. “Ah...fine. Hey, Dromeda?” Tonks mother came out from the kitchen with a smile when she heard her name and Tonks thought that she hadn’t seen her mum so cheerful for a long time. “Yes?” “I was wondering. Would you mind if I stayed over for the rest of the summer? You know how things are in the...Most noble and ancient house of Black…” the last part was said in a over dramatic and sarcastic tone. Both Lupin and Tonks turned to Andromeda awaiting her response. Her mother had made a disgusted face when she heard the reference to the family motto and her look quickly turned to pity. “Of course you can stay. I wouldn’t send anyone back into that hell…” “You’re the best, Dromeda. You were always my favorite cousin…” “Aw, you don’t need to sweet talk me, Sirius. You can barely remember me.” “Maybe, but anyone with enough guts to go against the Black stupid ideas is my idol.” Andromeda smiled and shook her head before disappearing into the kitchen once more. “Well...that was easy…” Tonks said with a raised eyebrow “You’re such a sweet talker, Sirius.” “Just being honest, cous. Just being honest…” “He always gets away with it…”Lupin sighed. But despite their complains, having both Lupin and Sirius around made that summer one of Tonks’s best ones. The trio had their own small bunch of adventures in the area, from chasing a porlok in the forest, to catching up hinkypunks in the moor which result in Tonks falling into one of swamps. Hope spent almost the same amount of time with Andromeda that her son did with Tonks and Sirius. Despite being from two completely different worlds, the two women got along pretty well and Andromeda was more than glad to show her some of the herbs in her orchard and their uses. When the day of the Lupin’s departure came, both Sirius and Tonks were a little sad, but after Ted had assured that his chimney would always be open for any of the Lupin’s, the boy promised to visit again soon. And so the days passed, and the full moon lit up the sky over the moor. Tonks, as usual, had sneaked out from her room and was sitting on the swing watching the sky as her thoughts flew to a certain wolf. She wondered if Mr. Wolfie was missing her as much as she missed him.
