A/N THIS IS MY FIRST FANFICTION PUBLISHED, SO PLEASE BE NICE!

BASICALLY, I'M GONNA DO A CHAPTER FOR EACH SUMMER REMUS SEES TONKS, BUT THIS ONE IS JUST SETTING THE SCENE. THE NEXT CHAPTER SHOULD BE UP BY TOMORROW AT THE LATEST, 'CAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO.

IS SHE REALLY A MOTHER?

It was nearly breakfast time, and three of the four marauders were up and getting themselves ready. The fourth was still in bed, under the covers, hoping that his friends would leave him to rest while they ate. Unfortunately for him, they had experienced this yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that…

"Oi! Padfoot! Get your fat ass out of bed! You're gonna be late!" screamed James.

"No no guys, just leave him. He'll get up fast enough if he knows what's good for him." said Remus calmly. When he heard this, Sirius started to wonder what they were planning.

SPLASH!

Sirius' thinking was interrupted by two large jets of water, soon followed by a slightly weaker jet. He jumped out if bed and shouted;

"ALL RIGHT! I'M UP! I STILL DON'T GET WHY I EVEN HAVE TO GO TO BLOODY BREAKFAST! IT'S NOT AS THOUGH I GET ANY LETTERS, AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT I CAN GET FOOD FROM THE KITCHENS LATER!"

"All right then Pads, we'll leave you here. It's just that… well you said that Meda would be sending you a letter about her kid…" said Peter cautiously.

"Yeah mate, we'll collect the letter…" added James.

"WHAT? I mean, I'll be down in a sec. I'll meet you lot in the Great Hall."

IN THE GREAT HALL

"Works every time." said Remus

"Yeah! I mean, does he not realise that Meda will probably forget to owl for like a month." said James

"You guys don't think that it's a bit mean… It's just that, well, he doesn't exactly get on well with the rest of his family…" said Peter.

"Geesh Wormtail, calm down. Padfoot's thirteen; he's allowed to get annoyed with his Dad. It's what you do!" said James.

At that moment, Sirius ran in and sat with the other second years.

"Any owls yet?" panted Sirius.

"Not yet."

Almost immediately after Remus said that, the owls started to arrive. The four boys watched as the owls started to drop letters to the students. Just as Sirius thought he would get nothing, a small and scruffy owl dropped a small letter onto Sirius' lap. Just as he was about to open it, he felt James' hand on his arm.

"Padfoot mate, Reg's looking. Wait until we get back to the dorm."

As soon as the four boys had finished, they all hurried up to their dormitory. Once there, Sirius ripped open the letter, and began to read.

"Dearest Siri, I'm sorry that it has been so long since my last letter, but it was having a hard time. Anyway, IT'S A GIRL! She's called Nymphadora," at that, Sirius gagged, James and Peter laughed, while Remus looked thoughtful.

"and we think that she might be a metamorphmagus. Send my love to the boys, and I'll hope to see you over the summer. Your FAVOURITE cousin, Meda. PS ask Remus what a metamorphmagus is, 'cause he'll know" Everyone looked at Remus for an explanation.

"A metamorphmagus," he explained, "is a witch or wizard who can transfigure themselves though willpower. They're really rare though."

After a few more owls were sent, Sirius and the other Marauders were invited to see baby Nymphadora during the second week if the holidays.
