Chapter 2

Kali Potter woke up to a tapping on her window. Her brow furrowed. 'What is that noise?' Kali thought as she forced her eyes open. There at her window she saw that an owl was peeking at the window with a letter tied to its leg. She groaned before forcing herself out of her bed of nails.

Once she finally let the bird in she snatched the letter from the bird. She read through it. Once. Twice. Thrice. She blinked before walking out to the living room where Nana had her cauldron out ready to brew a potion the shop was low on. "Nana you might want to hold off on that." Kali said simply.

Nana's brow furrowed in confusion. "What is it child?" She asked concern laced heavily in the ancient woman's voice through the rough gravely sound from many many years of use. "We might want to head to Gomez and Morticia's place first Nana." Kali said not really wanting to say this twice. Nana nodded before grabbing her cloak.

"Ah Prima, Nana. Welcome, come on in." Gomez said as he saw who was at the door his cigar hanging from his mouth. The two women walked into the house without a word. "What can I do for you ladies?" Gomez asked as they reached the living room of his home. Morticia off to the side working on a new painting. And Grandmamma was in the corner reading a potions book. A rather dark potions book.

"I got some shocking news today Gomez that the family should know. I haven't told Nana yet I really only want to say it once. Call Wednesday and Pugsley as well as Fester please." Kali said as she sat down and put her head into her hands. Gomez nodded only having not seen the girl like this before.

As soon as everyone was seated around the living room Kali sighed. "I am to be married. And it has to be in two months before my birthday or I die." Kali said simply not looking at any of her family. Still trying to process the fact she is to marry a man she has never met. "WHAT?!" Gomez yelled jumping to his feet his cigar not on the floor.

"I got a letter from England this morning. It contained a copy of a marriage contract written centuries ago. From the Potter Family, in Britain, it said the heir to the Lupin family and I are to marry by my fifteenth birthday or the heir to the family would lose his magic and I would lose both my magic and life. The Goblin that sent the copy of the contract even apologized that I wasn't informed sooner but it just appeared on his desk he sent it out just as soon as he could." Kali said after taking a deep breath. Gomez slumped down onto the couch next to his wife once more he couldn't believe his young cousin would be married at the age she was about to be. He always thought that she would bring a date over to his house to meet her could cousin Gomez before she introduced him to Nana and he would walk her down to Isle after years of dating and she was out of school.

"Do you at least know the lad's name?" Gomez asked hoping to god or whoever was out there that she would at least get to know her bethroth's name. Kali nodded. "The letter side it was Remus John Lupin he is actually my father, James's, age. They were best friends in school. It also stated that I should be aware that Remus is a Lycan. Not that that matters we've had plenty of those in the family." Kali said for the first time looking up at Gomez and Morticia.

"Well we might as well head over to England and find this Remus Lupin and get you two married in two months time." Morticia spoke for the first time since going to retrieve the rest of the family. "Morticia I don't think we have to do that. I can feel it he is coming here. Using a very old spell I can feel its power around Kali." Grandmamma said as she sat in a chair near Wednesday. Morticia nodded. "I'll get a few rooms ready I think the new couple should stay close." Morticia said looking over to Nana to agree. At the nod of the old woman's head Morticia left the room.

Remus Lupin got off his plane having got his copy of the contract long before Kali as he had lived in England. He looked around the airport before walking off in the direction of the place he could feel his best friends' daughter. Still in shock that he would have to marry the girl. He was there at her birth for Merlin's sake. A lass that didn't matter he would marry the girl after all she was all that was left of James and Lilly if marrying her was the only way she stayed safe and alive was to marry the girl he would. He owed it to James and to Lilly.

He slowly approached the Addams's House nervous not knowing if they received a copy of the contract yet or not. He had brought his with him just in case just to prove he wasn't some creepy old man. "He walked up to the house and knocked. He waited patiently for someone to answer the door.

He didn't have to wait long as a man in a pan suit opened the door a cigar hanging from his lips. "Can I help you good man?" He asked the voice was slightly strained to sound upbeat. "Yes may I please come in sir?" Remus asked the man nodded before holding out his hand and with a forced smile on his face he introduced himself. "Gomez Addams at your service. And you are good sir?"

"Remus. Remus Lupin. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Addams." Remus said shaking Gomez's hand. "None of that Mr. Addams stuff after all we will be family in two months' time. Come your betrothed is here and has just informed us of this fact." Gomez said his voice slightly less strained. His smile though was still forced to remain on his face.

Remus followed Gomez through the house. "I like the decor Gomez." Remus commented to his host. "Thank you my good man. My wife and I decorated it ourselves." Gomez replied as they entered the living room. "Kali your betrothed is here." Gomez said in a soft voice as he approached the teenage girl sat on the couch head in her hands once more.

"Thank you cousin." Kali mumbled as she stood up. "Kali Potter though I guess you knew that right Remus." She commented as she held out her hand. Remus nodded before an explosion was heard throughout the house.
