Chapter 10

2 years later. Summer of 2002

Ron and Harry have graduated from Auror training for a year now and were doing fine, although both were in Tonks' team and constantly complained about her demands for top performance from her team and nothing less. As head auror, Tonks took majority of the newest Auror to her team and made herself responsible for training them up.

Harry openly dated, proposed and now was married to Ginny. Ron, on the other hand, hesitated despite Tonks' and Harry's efforts to push him to propose to Hermione. The girl in question, graduated with flying colours, full of praises for Remus' teaching in Defence against the Dark Arts. She then proceeded to join the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Eventually, Ron too proposed and they got married a few months after Harry and Ginny.

Bill's and Fleur's younger daughter was born a year after Lyall, named Dominique. She had blonde hair like her mother and older sister and had Veela blood. With Bill and Fleur having two daughters and Remus and Tonks having two sons, it had become Molly's obsession to match make the two pairs together. It was often her mantra that since she failed to join the Weasleys and Tonks, she would be more than happy with the addition of Lupin to the mix.

"Sure, Molly," Tonks laughed, "Weasley women are great but the Weasley men just can't cut it against the Lupins," Bill scowled with a hint of a smile, tossing a pillow across the room at her. Remus chuckled, shaking his head as Molly laughed, in full agreement with Tonks.

But the children were too young and the boys were often found in the yard while the girls stayed indoors.

Lyall turned 2 a few days ago and he was the opposite of his older brother, who was bookish like his father. Lyall was loud and clumsy, a carbon copy of her mother, with his father's eyes. However, he was also the sweetest boy and wormed his way into everyone's heart like his older brother.

To Remus' relief, Lyall wasn't a werewolf either and Tonks told him 'I told him so' with that aristocratic haughtiness which Remus was starting to love. However, the fact that Lyall woke up, crying every full moon disturbed Remus, it was something which Teddy never experienced. Tonks insisted that Lyall didn't transform and even Remus had to admit, that was what counts the most.

Lyall and Teddy played together most of the time; their favourite game being Quidditch (a fact which Tonks was most proud of) and life was interesting with the new addition in the family.

As part of McGonagall's plan to help the students have better idea for their career choices, Tonks was invited to Hogwarts to give the Seventh-years career talks as an Auror, annually. After one of such talks, she returned home with Remus to find two Lyall Sirius Lupins playing in the middle of the sitting room and Tonks thought she was going mad.

Remus was thoroughly confused.

"Mum?" Tonks peered into the kitchen to see Andromeda whipping up dinner.

"Oh hi Nymphadora," Andromeda greeted absently over her shoulder as Tonks rolled her eyes at that name; some things never change.

"Why are my sons identical?" Tonks frowned.

Andromeda levitated the pot into the living room, shrugging, "Teddy figured he could morph his whole body today and decided it would be funny to be Lyall for a day. Lyall looked happy to see another of himself,"

Tonks sighed, finally understanding her parents' woes when she reached that phase as a child. She ran about in varied forms all day, confusing Ted and Andromeda thoroughly as to why Sirius Black was running about in their sitting room.

Remus couldn't help but smile at his sons' antics as he watched them. Both Lyalls seemed to be moving in sync. Both of them were wearing Lyall's blue starry pyjamas, which Tonks bought two identical sets of.

Tonks rubbed her eyes and joined Remus, "My head hurts," Tonks groaned, "I'm so glad we don't have twins,"

Remus chuckled, "Teddy? C'mere," He said in a firm voice experimentally.

Both Lyalls looked up and cocked their heads before looking back down at the train they were playing with.

"Our sons have just pranked us bad," Remus said with a fond smile. Tonks grinned, grabbing the camera off the mantel.

"Lyalls, look here!" Tonks called and both Lyalls looked up and grinned. Tonks snapped a photo and laughed, "that'll be something to laugh about when they get older,"
