Moonlight Run

When did Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks fall in love? Here is my proposal:

As they grew closer, Remus lamented missing his moonlight runs with the Marauders, the best times of his largely depressing live. Empathetic and adventurous, Tonks was already experimenting with her Metamorphmagus abilities for her undercover work with the order, using potions and spells to enhance her natural shape-shifting abilities. One full moon, she surprised Remus with a new trick, morphing into a wolf. Once she'd reassured him that she had not actually infected herself with the Lycan curse, they took off into the woods. Tonks amused Remus and herself by changing her fur color from red, to black, to purple, to pink, and so on throughout the night. That was the night Remus and Dora confessed their feelings for each other.

Tonks would later join Remus on some undercover missions infiltrating the werewolves, taking a tawny brown tint similar to her natural hair color. After a close shave, Remus refused to let her join him on such missions anymore, and this kickstarted her anxiety for his safety and depression. Once they officially hooked up and she regained her powers, they took to the Forbidden Forest for another run after Dumbledore's funeral.

I wanted to have a picture of Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley to accompany this one, since both had a history with werewolves on their fathers' sides, and shape-shifting on their mothers'. (Recall that Veela can transform into monsters.) Unfortunately I came down with a bad cold, and was lucky to get this picture done in time for Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year!
