Behind The Veil
by Nehal

"I er-"

"What's wrong?"

"You look a little too...it doesn't matter."

"If I haven't got it right..."

"You have."

"But?"

"You look too realistic. Sorry."

"Don't be. Is that better?"

"Much."

 

"Does my hair feel like his?"

"Yes."

"My skin?"

"Yes."

"How about when I kiss you? Does it..."

"No. Sirius used his teeth a little- I'm sorry. This was a bad idea, I should-"

"Wait."

 

"This isn't right you know. I-I shouldn't be taking advantage of you like this. If anyone found out-"

"They won't."

"But if they did-"

"Then I'd tell them that what I do in my own bed's my own business and no one else's."

"I suppose you're right."

"I am. So, want some more Firewhiskey? I think there's a drop still left in the bottle."

"Thanks."

 

"Will you keep doing this for me, Tonks? Just until we-I mean, I-what I'm trying to say is...damn alcohol! I used to be articulate."

"If you want me to..."

"I do."

"Can I make an appearence as myself from time to time?"

"Of course."

"Then consider it a deal. And Remus?"

"Yes?"

"Stop hogging the blankets!"
