The Long Fight of Nymphadora Tonks
Holly Marsh
- Story Summary:
- Amid the turmoil of events that shaped their lives, two friends began to realise that their feelings went deeper than that. But while one was happy to accept the chance of a little romance, the other was reluctant to take what he was offered ... Having read lots of versions of how Remus and Tonks ended up getting together, I decided it was about time for mine. This is a collection of moments of wondering, self-doubt and romance, leading up to the revelation in HBP that opened all our eyes ... and a little way beyond.
