Welp, I'm back! And so is Aftermath. Enjoy this chapter.

Remus went to Hogwarts the next morning. The halls were practically deserted, seeing it was a Hogsmeade weekend, so Remus encountered only a few students on the way down to the kitchens and when he walked in, the house elves went into a flurry of activity as they welcomed him.

"Good morning, Professor Lupin, sir! Is you wanting something this morning?"

Remus nodded politely. "Good morning. No, nothing for me this morning. I've come to see Winky. I have a proposition for her."

"Right away, sir, Baxter will fetch her for you, sir."

"Thank you Baxter."

The house elf wandered off to find her, and a few moments later came back. Remus smiled gently at the shy house elf.

"Hello, Winky."

"Hello Professor Lupin, sir. Baxter tells Winky you is wanting to speak to Winky?"

"Yes. Why don't we sit down." she followed him to a table and sat across from him. "Winky, my wife and I have just bought a house, and would greatly appreciate your help in taking care of it."

Winky paused. "Is Professor Lupin sir, offering Winky a job?"

Remus shrugged. "If you would like to think of it that way. It wouldn't be paid, if that's what you're wondering, I know you're uncomfortable with payment but you would be taking care of my household and family-"

"Yes, Professor Lupin, Winky will accept! Oh, how Winky has longed to become a house elf again!"

Remus smiled gratefully. "Thank you Winky. My wife and I have not formally moved into our house, but we are going to next weekend, so I will call you then."

Winky smiled and bowed. "Winky thanks you, Master Remus!"

Knowing that asking her to not call him 'master' was a losing battle, he thanked her again and left. He returned to his - no Andromeda's - home and greeted his wife. "All of the arrangements are settled. Winky will be moving into the house when we do!"

"That's good. I won't have to worry about the cooking or you getting home on time."

He smiled softly. "Yes. That'll be nice. How are the little ones?"

"Teddy's sleeping in his room, and this one," she placed his hand on her stomach, "decided to be active today."

The baby kicked under Remus' hand and a look of wonder spread across his face. "Hello there little one."

Remus went back to teaching the next day, the students happy to see him back as they knew him, without the beard and the bags beneath his eyes. He smiled and welcomed his class.

"Now, who here can tell me what a metamorphmagus is? Anyone?"

Someone in the back raised their hand and he nodded. "A shape-shifter who can manipulate their features at will."

"Very good, thank you Miss Blevins. As many of you know, I have daily experience with a metamorphmagus, having married one, so I consider myself knowledgeable on this particular topic. Now, I did invite my wife to help me with this lesson, but she hasn't arrived yet…"

At that moment the door opened and Tonks walked in. "Sorry, Remus, I was held up at the office."

He smiled gently, "Not a problem, Dora, not at all." his wife took a seat on his desk. "Okay then. Who can tell me what would make a metamorphmagus change unwillingly? Yes, Mr. Cox."

"An emotion like surprise, shock, extreme sadness…"

"Very good," he turned to his wife. "Terribly sorry about that last one."

She raised her eyebrow and smiled. "I know, Remus."

A student raised their hand near the front. "Yes Miss Booth?"

"What about gender and height? Can a metamorphmagus change those?"

Remus looked at his wife. "Do you want to take this one?"

She nodded. "Alright, hi, for those of you who don't know me I'm Nymphadora Lupin, and if you call me Nymphadora, I'll hex you. Call me Tonks. So, that was a good question Miss Booth. Yes, in fact a metamorphmagus can change those things, but for most it can be extremely uncomfortable. I'm not going to demonstrate, for obvious reasons," she patted her stomach affectionately. "But I will tell you it can be done. There are many instances where I have had to go undercover into a place where it required a change of gender." she shuddered. "I will just tell you, it is not pleasant. Also, when you change your gender, it's still just your appearance. I was still female, I just appeared to be a male.

"For height, yes, that's not as tricky. I simply must stretch every part of my body. I won't demonstrate that either, again, for obvious reasons, but that is less uncomfortable. For me, it is simply a matter of preference. I don't enjoy messing with my height, therefore I don't do it unless I absolutely have to."

Remus nodded, a pleased expression on his face. "Thank you, Dora. That was a great answer. Any other questions?"

The class was silent. "Well then, class dismissed, you can go early but I want an essay about what will affect metamorphmagus' next class. Say, a foot."

"Thank you Professor!"

Remus sat back on his desk. "How are you?"

"Good," his wife replied, kissing his cheek. "How about you?"

"Better, now that you're here."

She smiled and rose an eyebrow. "Okay then."

He kissed her, "yes well, it's lunch so how about we go get something to eat?"

"Sounds good to me."

They walked into the Great Hall through the teacher's door, and Remus conjured a chair for her as he elongated the table slightly. She sat down next to him, and they had a good time talking to each other and talking to Minerva. Remus found that having Dora with him at the school made him very happy. The second class period after lunch, Tonks had to go back to the Aurors so the rest of the day was deprived from demonstrations and her answers so had to go by Remus' and the textbooks.

At the end of the school day, Remus returned back to Andromeda's and found a good warm meal waiting for him.

"Well, this will certainly be missed, Andromeda. Thank you for a good dinner."

"Oh, don't talk like that Remus. I'm sure Winky will be a very good cook."

"Yes. I'm sure she will take very good care of us all, and you are always welcome to pop in and help if you would like to."

"Thank you Remus. I might take you up on that offer, and don't be afraid to ask me to babysit the little ones."

"Don't worry Mum. Your help will be needed undoubtedly."

Andromeda chuckled. "Undoubtedly."

Wasn't sure where to end this one. Hope it works.
