Episode 36

Just Like on T.V.

Hermione looked at her husband, now standing beside her. Remus looked thoroughly amused as he ruffled his son's hair, ignoring the indignant glare and pout on the young boy's face. It took all her willpower not to burst into laughter. Romulus had to be the mini version of Remus, with the same sandy hair and grey-blue eyes her husband adorned.

"What brought this on?" she asked the child, leaning closer to him curiously. Romulus huffed at the question. He knew his mother watched television, it had been at his grandparents (Hermione's parents) house he first saw someone propose.

"Mommy, you're s'posed to say yes!" he whined, unaware of the awing from the crowd. He really was too cute for his own good. "The woman on television said yes when the man proposed."

Hermione looked taken aback momentarily. Not from her son's whining, which was rare enough, but from his explanation. She knew he had become rather addicted to the television set when he visited her parents home in the Muggle world, but she hadn't known what he was watching. Apparently, it had to do with someone proposing.

"Well, I'd have to ask your father first," she said slowly. Smiling when she saw his rather disappointed expression, she grabbed his small hand in hers. "But I don't see why not."

Romulus perked up. It wasn't quite like on television, but he could deal. He turned to his father hopefully, begging him to allow Romulus the honor of marrying his mother. The three year old wanted so badly to be just like the guy on T.V.

Remus chuckled. "Well, I feel I should be jealous," he commented rather amusedly. Looking at his son's worried expression, he sighed amusedly and ruffled his hair (again ignoring the glare). "How can I say no to that face? Alright, so long as you give her back to me afterwards."

Romulus smiled brightly and looked at his mother eagerly. She laughed and allowed him to lead her over to James, who Romulus wanted to be the priest (Merlin only knew why) that wed them. Remus chuckled as he watched the Marauder eagerly take his place, and the rest of the guests chuckle at the antics of the famous pranksters and the spawn of the two most sensible Marauders.

This party turned out funnier than expected.
