Dorea Potter looked at her son, "As you should be, now really is not the time to be bickering like teenagers – Charles stop laughing!"

Charlus Potter, a tall, slim wizard with greying black hair and bright blue eyes, walked to his wife's side smiling broadly.

"Sorry," He said sounding completely unapologetic, "But you have to admit sometimes it is funny how stupid they act."

"Thanks Dad." James scowled.

Lily grinned beside him putting her arm around his waist.

"Don't mope Prongs," Sirius rolled his eyes, "You know its true."

Charlus laughed and the corners of Dorea's mouth twitched. The couple turned to Remus and Tonks smiling kindly exuding the warmth Remus had know and loved them for.

Dorea hugged him and he smiled.

"Remus my dear, I can't believe how much you've grown!"

Remus chuckled as she released him and held him at arms length critically examining him.

"Leave him be Dorea," Charlus grinned hugging Remus as well, "Good to see you my boy."

"You too Mr Potter, Mrs Potter."

"Come on now Remus what have we said about that?" Charlus chuckled again, "It's Charles or Charlus is your yelling at me and Dorea."

Remus grinned in return, "Okay, sorry."

The couple smiled warmly before they turned to Tonks in turn introducing themselves to her and embracing the younger witch like an old friend.

"They're nice." Tonks said to Remus quietly as the couple moved off over to Fred.

"They are." Remus agreed with a smile.

"I'm not actually very surprised though, I mean they let Sirius live with them, you'd have to be unbelievably nice to do that." Tonks mused.

Remus laughed, "Dorea can yell loudly when she wants to, I think that's how they coped."

"Makes sense."

"Now, I think it's quite unfair that you hug someone else's Mother before your own."

Remus looked around at the sound of the soft voice and his eyes widened when he saw his Mother, Hope Lupin stood before him, her soft brown hair falling past her shoulders, her deep green eyes hungrily looking over his face.

"Mum!" Remus breathed hugging her tightly.

Hope hugged him back as tears began to fall down her face.

"Oh Remus, you idiot! Why did you die?"

"You've been spending too much time with Lily." Remus said in a stunned voice.

Hope laughed placing her hands on either side of his face.

"I'm so proud of you Remus," She said, "So very proud of you."

Remus smiled broadly hugging her again, "Thanks Mum."

Hope broke the hug a few moments later and wiped away the tears running down her cheeks. She smiled at Tonks.

"Hello Dora, it's so nice to meet you at last. I'm Hope."

"Hi Hope," Tonks smiled broadly at her Mother in law, "Remus has talked about you a lot."

"I should hope so." Hope said in a teasing voice.

Remus rolled his eyes.

"Oh he has," Tonks said, "I feel like I already know you!"

Hope smiled fondly at her son, "I raised him right then."

Remus merely grinned, he had always had a feeling Tonks and his Mother would get on well and here was the proof.

"I'll talk to you in a few minutes Remus," Hope said, "There's a lot of people who need to make reintroductions as quickly as we can…"

"I understand," Remus assured her squeezing her hand in his, "I really missed you Mum."

"I miss you too dear."

Hope moved away and Remus watched her for a moment a small content smile on his face.

"I really love your Mum already." Tonks laughed.

Remus grinned at his wife, "Good."

Tonk's mouth suddenly fell open her eyes widening so much that her expression was nearly comical. Remus frowned and followed her gaze to see what had surprised her so much.

He saw it instantly and his mouth too fell open. A new person, someone Remus had not seen for many, many, years was stood beside Sirius grinning at the Animagus. The boy had black hair with natural haughty good looks, they were smaller and slighter than Sirius but the resemblance between the two of them was uncanny.

After all, they were brothers.

A/N So I realised it has been a very long time since I have updated any of my stories, I'm going through them this week and I'm going to try and update by the end of this week! I also realised that is is taken much longer than expected to introduce all the characters so it might be more than a few chapters until they begin to watch the Battle of Hogwarts - if you don't know how the last person shown is go sit in a corner and think about it. Ta, Mischief Managed! ;)
