Title: Disturbing the Universe I/II
Pairing/Characters: Remus/Tonks; original character
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2179
Summary: When it comes to obtaining a marriage licence, Remus and Tonks find it pays to be one step ahead of the law. Set at the end of HBP.
Author's Note: I have a lot of unfinished drabbles and fics, which I'm taking some time out to try and finish. The oldest I found was about Remus and Tonks trying to obtain a marriage licence, and coming up against a Ministry employee in the process: most of it has long since found its way into other stories, but I liked the original idea so here it is re-thought, re-titled and re-written. I hope this works as a stand alone piece, but there seems to be another important birthday tomorrow (no wonder I normally go away on holiday this week;)) and I have part II planned. It may not quite get written in time for posting then but, if not, I'm aiming for Friday. Meanwhile, this is for mrstater, the best of friends to have, and I hope she's having a great birthday. :) The title was inspired by TS Eliot's line, "Do I dare disturb the universe?" and a recent LJ conversation.
