EDIT 11/6/17: Bleh. I've always hated this chapter. But, it's kinda necessary.

Sorry about the lateness of this one. I've been rather busy with school starting and so I didn't have much time to write this one. I will try and keep to the normal update schedule, but I can't promise anything. I hope you enjoy, reviews are appreciated.

The next morning, Tonks was awake before Remus, which was not unusual. So he got dressed and walked downstairs for breakfast.

What was unusual was that she was up eating breakfast, and chatting happily with her mother. Breakfast was laid out on a plate for him next to her.

A little confused, he sat down. "So, what's the occasion?" he asked.

Dora gave him a peck on the cheek. "We're going shopping."

"Okay, see you around then." he said, thinking she meant her and Andromeda.

"No Remus. 'We' as in 'you' and 'I' and Teddy."

"Oh. Okay. What do we need?"

"Dress robes."

He raised an eyebrow. "We need dress robes? Since when?"

She rolled her eyes. "Well, you've needed them forever."

"No I don't!"

"Remus, have you seen the state of your dress robes?"

He shrugged. "Fine. Fine, we'll go shopping."

Victorious, Tonks returned to her breakfast.

When they had finished eating, they got Teddy wearing something acceptable, and with a 'see you later' to Andromeda and disapparated.

Diagon Alley, was crowded, as per usual. But sometimes, when people saw the small family coming, they cleared space.

"Idiots. As if they'll get lycanthropy by walking next to us," Tonks muttered. Remus shrugged, indicating he was used to it. They made it to Mme. Malkin's and walked into the store. There was already someone there, proven by the voices near the back of the store. They walked to the Dress Robes section and found that was where the other customers were.

"Just try it Ron! It'll be funny!" cried the black haired boy to his friend.

"No! Harry, I'm not trying an old frilly thing like I had before!"

Harry groaned in defeat and put away the robes. He turned to see who was coming and grinned. "Hi, Moony! Teddy, Tonks."

Teddy cooed and reached for his godfather, who took him into his arms, laughing. He entertained him while Remus and Tonks looked for some robes. Remus found some that looked okay after Tonks told him no brown, black or grey. They were a dark blue like the sky at night and had silver trim on them. They looked really good on him, Tonks said and he agreed when he saw himself in a mirror.

Tonks found a nice periwinkle dress that looked good on her when she changed her hair to a lighter shade of pink or a deep navy. They looked very good together, according to both Harry and Ron. Teddy even cooed his agreement.

Harry had found some emerald green robes like ones he had had before, whereas Ron wanted something very normal and opted for plain black dress robes. All in all, Tonks thought it was a rather successful shopping trip.
