Tonks hovers in the doorway to the garden, gazing at the two men near the faehodel. In the summer, the shimmery blue spires will remind her of the bouquets at Bill and Fleur’s wedding.
As the couple recited their vows, she had whispered to Lupin, Now that you have chosen me, I will never make you choose. By then, she’d finally convinced him she harboured no illusions of tulle-and-ribbon bowers or three-tier cakes materialising in their own future.
She hadn’t known yet how much Snape would matter to her: that she would someday collapse on a darkling plain with his name on her lips, praying that Remus would reach him in time. She doesn’t know how this is going to end.
What she does see is that Lupin’s eyes are warm, and that the pain in Snape’s is receding.
She will step forward to join them, but not just yet.
