TWO SISTERS TAKE TEA

Summary: The letter lay on the mantelpiece for a week, then two, until Andromeda finally had to admit to herself that there were no two ways about it: She was being rude. She should have the decency at least to write and decline Narcissa's invitation. (This story is now also part 5 La Ronde Noire.)

Characters: Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy (and baby Teddy)

Warnings: None beyond what you already know from the books.

PRECISELY WHAT I MEAN

Summary:

Remus with Teddy was easily the sweetest thing Tonks had ever seen. It seemed Remus couldn't ever hold Teddy without gazing down at his son with a huge, helpless, delighted grin.

"Don't your cheeks ever get tired?" Tonks couldn't help teasing him once, and he'd glanced up, bewildered by the question – he didn't even realise he was doing it.

Characters: Tonks, Remus and baby Teddy.

Warnings: None

Words: 670

Author's note: By rights I suppose this snippet (it's so short I'm not sure I can even call it a "story") deserves to be labeled "pure fluff"... and yet, if it's pure fluff, it's with the intention of providing a tiny counterbalance to all the hard times its characters go through before this – and immediately after. I wanted to give them one purely happy moment.
