Finally I got a chance to read this :) And what a wonderful birthday gift it was for Remus! This left me with all kinds of good feelings. Your Warp and Weft series is definitely the place to go when in need of something warm and hopeful to read.
I love that it seems Malkin is doing okay as well. I liked him a lot in the HBP parts of Kaleidoscope (always nice and refreshing with sympathetic Slytherin characters!) and I hope he's doing well in the post war world.
I love this whole part:
“I don’t care,” said Nymphadora, abruptly fierce. “I’ve never cared. You know that!”
“Yes, as you’ve told me a million times,” said Remus, solemnly. His eyes were very, very warm. “I know you don’t care, love. But I do.” He tucked a pink curl behind her ear and smoothed a hand along a wiggling Teddy’s back. “If I ask for it as a birthday present, will you give me the honour of taking you out for a romantic dinner for two?”
Andromeda watched her daughter watching Remus until Nymphadora’s gaze suddenly softened.
“If you put it like that,” said Nymphadora, in a voice too gentle for the spiky hair and the dragonhide jacket, “I can’t possibly refuse.”
