Chapter 11
In Saint Mungos.
Lily and James had just woken up from a deep sleep and gone down stairs to arrange with the healers to take Lily's Nan out for the day, just a walk in the park and ice cream, the healers thought this was a great idea so the two rushed upstairs to tell her Nan the good news.
"Nan guess what!" Lily smiled at the sight of her only extended family sitting in bed drinking tea.
"Lily dear, you're so full of energy, what is it?"
"We've just arranged to take you to the park for the day," James told her, "We're getting ice cream."
"Oh that sounds lovely dears. I'll just go get changed, you two should as well." The old
woman told them, the two Gryffindor's had only just realized they went down stairs in dressing gowns.
"See you back here in about an hour."
In the Marauder cave.
Tonks had finally drifted out of her deep sleep to see Remus reading a book while stroking her hair absentmindedly. She read the title, "Interesting book choice there." She smiled at him.
He blushed, "I can't read this book enough times, good morning."
"Have a good sleep?" She asked.
"Yes very, how was your night?" he smiled at her blush, for some reason Remus was feeling very calm and happy.
"Good I feel perfectly well rested" she smiled feeling her hair turn bright yellow going down to orange tips; shoulder length.
Remus smiled at her hair as well. "Breakfasts in 10 minutes we better get ready."
Tonks sighed, "Yeah I suppose," She rolled off him and opened the curtains to see… Sirius with a bare bum.
"Oh my god!" she squealed, which of course made Remus and Kate look out of their beds as well, who in turn squealed and laughed their heads off. Sirius, on the other hand, got so embarrassed he switched to Animagus form and ran under his bed.
"And you call me Moony," Remus choked out trying to get a grip of his hysterics, unfortunately this comment didn't help.
Sirius grabbed his clothes with his mouth and ran into the bathroom to change. He came out after a few minutes bright red but grinning all the same.
"Nice butt Sirius," Kate said with a giggle.
"I bet you think it's gorgeous don't you Kite." Sirius smirked.
"Actually once you get over the shock of seeing it that is one nice butt you have." Kate agreed.
Sirius not really knowing what to say to this just laughed along with the other 3.
After a while they all calmed down and got ready for the day. Unfortunately they missed breakfast so had to go to class via the kitchens for some muffins, bacon and of course sherbet lemons for Kate.
Back to Saint Mungos
Once the couple and Lily's Nan were dressed they went off to a wizarding park.
Lily's Nan treated the all to ice cream, with 3 scoops. However as these were wizard ice creams they had wizarding and muggle flavours. For instance Lily had vanilla, colour change lemon and hot chocolate, which changed her hair yellow and warmed half of her up and half of her down. James had colour change apple, chocolate fudge and Bertie bots every flavour ice cream, this made his hair go green and he had to eat the third flavour with a special spoon so each spoonful was different from the last. Finally Lily's Nan ordered mint, chocolate and colour change raspberry which turned her hair a shocking shade of violet.
Then, with their ice creams, they sat on a bench and chatted about everything and everyone.
In Herbology.
It was official, Kate hated herby. Her and Tonks were wrestling with an electrified grape vine while Sirius and Remus were calmly already potting theirs. Unfortunately Tonks and Kate lost rock, paper, scissors to Sirius so while they struggled without Remus's
help Sirius and Remus just chatted leisurely.
"Hey Padfoot, did you hear Tonks talk in her sleep last night?" Remus started out, trying to sound indifferent.
"Of course I did Moony for merlin's sake ask her out!" Sirius chuckled.
"It's not that easy…" Remus trailed off.
"Ahhh, but my dear Moo moo. It IS that easy, you're just making it hard."
"Well ask Kate out then, my dear Paddy."
"I'm going to, next Hogsmead weekend, but you have to ask her today."
"Why?"
"Because she is getting impatient waiting, plus I have a bet going with James. So ask her out in look to the future class."
"But I need somewhere to go with her…" Remus said, making Sirius smirk.
"Now you're just making excuses. Ask her on a date to the room of requirement tonight at 7 and leave the rest to me and Kate."
"…Fine!"
"Good boy."
In the wizard park of Elms Grove.
"Lily I'm so glad you are excelling in all your lessons. Your Granddad would be proud," Lily's Nan said with a tear in her eye.
James had conveniently left for the toilet to give the two witches some alone time.
"… Do you miss him?" Lily asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Of course I do, it was our anniversary the day before the attack, you know? 30 years, a long time, on the morning of that amazing day he gave me a bunch of flowers the transfigured them into a book in front of my very eyes. Then got a note out of his pocket and used a permanent sticking charm to stick it to the inside cover." she said.
"Granddad was a wizard?" Lily exclaimed.
"Oh my dear you didn't know? It turns out every supposedly muggle-born witch has to have some magical blood in the family and in your case it was Mitch, of course no-one knew but me."
"Whys that?"
"Because when we didn't know you were a witch we didn't want you to get your hopes up about becoming one. Then I suppose we just didn't get around to it in time."
"I always knew there was something special about granddad. I suppose that's why you know so much about magic then?"
"Yes he was a great man and I loved to learn about his world, about your world Lily." She smiled sadly at her granddaughter, "Anyway back to my story, this note had written on it the same thing that he said while he proposed to me, it said trying to explain my love is like trying to say how many stars are in the night sky, like trying to explain how many drops of water are in the ocean but I will keep trying to tell you every day until I leave this world then I will keep telling you when you come and join me in the next, I love you more than anything and everything forever and then some. I don't think I will ever get over losing him but I will be able to look at this book, which I have now filled with photos of us, read those lines and remember him not lying dead but the happy memories and time we have spent together." By this time they both had tears in their eyes and Lily gave a hug to her Nan.
"You will always have me," Lily promised.
"And me" James said appearing next to them with a grin that only widened when Lily threw her arms around him as well.
In divination.
He was back in the sleepy, heavily scented room of divination but Remus was feeling everything but calm sitting on a purple cushion trying to build up the courage to ask Tonks when the professor came past him and stared into his crystal ball. "Ahhh young Lupin, a great opportunity will pass you by if you don't seize it today." She said to him in a spiritual voice, but as she walked away he couldn't help thinking finally she had gotten a prediction right and he wasn't going to let that happen.
"Tonks?" he asked his sleepy looking partner.
"Wotcher," she replied groggily.
"Um… ?" he asked far too quickly for human ears to pick up.
She laughed. "I won't answer until you say it slower."
"Fine, Tonks," he said, taking a deep breath. "Do you want to go on a date with me tonight in the room of requirements at 7?"
She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Finally" she whispered in his ear, chuckling as he went bright pink with a goofy smile on his face.
"So that's a…"
"Yes of course I will."
He smiled, "Thank you."
"No, thank you" she replied laughing at how cheesy that sounded.
But she didn't care because finally she had a date with Remus Lupin.
