Remus Lupin was one of those people who could not sleep past a certain time in the morning, despite only getting to bed a short time before. Today was no exception. He had gotten off work at 6:30AM and was up by 8:30. He wasn't too pleased by this but it was how he worked. He had done fixing up around his home and figured it was time he bought food.

He headed into town and was lingering at the fruit stand.

Tonks still hadn't adjusted to the idea that not only had she been pulled out of time - after dying less than three years later - but that she'd somehow wound up in the past. The very, very distant past. With a settlement of people essentially avoiding the complete destruction of the human race.

She still wasn't convinced it wasn't a dream, or some sort of horrific hallucination. Maybe a combination of both. But either way, she wasn't staying cooped up in that big house on her own, and after a restless night spent tossing and turning, she headed out to the market to see about the food situation.

Halfway in a daze as she drifted through the stalls, she managed to bump straight into a man standing in front of the fruit stand. And in her attempt to overcorrect, she managed to back into a display of apples as well.

"Dammit - I'm so bloody sorry," she said quickly, bending down to pick up the fruit that had fallen. "Are you all right?"

"It's almost the norm. I'm not shunned here like I was back in London. By no means a social butterfly, but more people are just cautious without the hate. Ginny and I are working on a research opportunity that will hopefully educate the people without prejudice towards werewolves. It's a breath of fresh air." Remus got silent for a moment. "I prefer this normal."

"I died in 1998. There was a big battle at Hogwarts in which several died. Voldemort also died as well. It was a way I think I preferred to have gone."
