It had been little under six months since Draco and Potter had been forced to return to the Lupin cottage to inform Remus about Tonks's last and final assignment as an Auror. Potter had been shaking almost the entire time, his face streaked with unashamed tears from the moment Remus had opened the door and fallen to his knees at the sight of them. Draco had flooed Teddy to his and Hermione's for the night, to spare him the information of never being able to see his mother again till a time when his father would be more composed. That time didn't come until a long while after.
