Chapter 14: Hogwarts Wedding
Time went quickly for the group. Soon it was a week before the wedding and the girls were having a day too themselves while the men and Sirius were babysitting.
"This is all you're fault." Ron stated to Remus as he looked at the mess that his kids had made.
"How may I ask is this my fault?" Remus looked at the room as well.
"You volunteered to watch the kids, you chose to volunteer us as well." Ron replied as he cleaned Isiah up.
After Isiah was clean, Ron set the little boy on the ground and turned to Harry who was rocking Lily to sleep.
"What do you think Harry?"
"I think that if you don't quiet down I'm likely to kill you. Its not that big of a deal. The girls deserved a day off and we just happened to be able to provide that"
Remus looked around and noticed that the door was open. "Guys I think we have a problem." Remus pointed to the door.
The boys gulped as they realized the twins were loose in Hogwarts. This was going to be an interesting day.
"Remus, you can stay here and watch Hope and Lily while we look for the twins." Harry handed Lily to him and ran out the door.
Lily immediately began to cry.
Remus rocked her softly and tried to sooth her. She cried louder.
"They went this way!" Ron shouted as he noticed the handprints on the wall.
Harry quickly followed noticing when the visible path of goo turned into two directions. What the goo was, Harry wasn't sure he wanted to know but it was obviously a trail left by small children.
"Ron I'll go right you go straight. Filch is going to hate us when he sees this." Harry quickly continued looking for the mischievous children.
Lily was still crying. *No wonder the twins refuse to baby-sit any more! The kid is terrified of losing her father again."
Lily finally quieted to a small whimper when Remus began to hum her a lullaby. Lily grabbed at Remus' shirt and pulled part of it in her mouth before looking up at him with her beautiful eyes.
Remus smiled at the child before continuing to rock her and hum.
"Ok. Cassy, its time to go back to the playroom." Harry tried to coax the little girl to come with him.
Casandra looked at him as if deciding whether to go with him or not. She finally decided that she could trust him and took his hand with her own sticky one. Harry sighed with relief hoping that Isiah was in just as good a mood.
Lily had just fallen asleep when Cassy came in yelling and laughing.
Lily woke up at the noise and began screaming again.
Harry walked over to her and looked into the crib. "Hush Lily. Its just Cassy. Go back to sleep so Uncle Remus can have some peace and quiet." He whispered to the little girl.
Lily giggled and played with her toys but was quiet none the less.
"How did you do that? It took me an hour to get her to sleep and you got her to quiet down by just telling her to hush?" Remus stared at him in shock. "You spoil her too much Remus. If you tell her straight out without picking her up or attempting to sooth her she will quiet down." Harry smiled at the shocked look on Remus' face.
The girls were having a great time on their day off. They had already hit Honeydukes and were prepared to shop for clothes courtesy of the menfolk's wallets.
Tonks decided that Remus needed new clothes so they were having a good time picking out clothes for their husbands and themselves.
Tonks was getting nervous about the wedding and was completely ready to hear the reassurances of the other women.
"It'll be OK Tonks. Life will continue as it is after this wedding. It only makes you nervous because you haven't committed yourself to Remus before and now you are. You two will be so happy together." Cho reassured the young woman.
Tonks' hair was changing colors rapidly as she thought more about it.
"Tonks calm down. The wedding is not for another week. Right now we just need to enjoy our men and children free day." Hermione put her hand on Tonks arm.
Tonks smiled as she thought of something. "I know someone who needs new clothes." An evil grin spread across her face. "Sirius always needs a new pair of biting underwear."
"Getting revenge for the recent outbreak of pranks?" Hermione asked as she grinned at the memory.
Indeed there had been a recent outbreak in pranks. Sirius had played many pranks on poor Remus and had even resulted in messing with his food. Arguments between teachers had come to a stop with the exception of the two remaining Maradaurs.
Sirius and Remus would fight openly through out the school. Prank wars resulted in the two of them ending up in Dumbledore's office like when they were school children. Many lectures later Sirius had learned nothing and Remus just ignored it.
"Remus said its Sirius' way of making sure he won't ruin the wedding. He figures if Sirius gets enough pranks in before hand, then he will be bored with the idea of crashing the wedding. Remus said that Sirius also did the same to James before his wedding." Tonks explained what Remus had told her. Ron soon returned to what the boys had designated the "playroom" with Isiah looking a bit messed up. He was covered in some kind of goo and in red paint.
"I found him and caught him. Filch is going to kill us." Ron explained as he tried to clean his clothes with a spell.
"I happen to agree." Remus stated as he looked at Ron.
The rest of the week went by fast. The guys had been forced to clean the mess the kids had made throughout Hogwarts themselves since Filch threatened to resign should he be forced to do it.
The students and teachers wouldn't have minded this with the exception of a few including Dumbledore whom no one dare challenge.
Soon the day had arrived. The girls were getting Tonks ready while the guys made sure Remus was ready and everything else was in order.
Almost every person in Hogwarts was sitting on the lawn by the lake watching a nervous Remus pull at his collar as he waited for Tonks to appear.
And appear she did. The crowd gasped. Remus lost all mobility at the sight of Tonks in that beautiful white vest. Her hair was jet black and just past her shoulders in length (or it would be had it been down) and was tied in an intricate fashion on her head and around her veil.
Remus was grinning like a mad man as Sirius walked his cousin down the aisle and placing Tonk's hand into Remus'.
"Good luck you too." He whispered in a completely serious voice.
Dumbledore, who was officiating, began the ceremony and led the couple through their vows.
Then it was time to say the vows they had made up. "Tonks, Nyphadora, I never thought I'd be able to marry without risking the ones I loved but I was wrong. I am healed and I am ready to start a family with you. I love you Nymphadora Tonks, everything about you." Remus' vows were to the point but touching at the same time.
"Remus, I have cared for you since the moment I met you. You always chose to be so distant from everyone and I thought who better to try and get close too. The closer I got the faster I fell in love until I woke up one day with the knowledge that you were destined to be mine." Tonks blushed a bit at the thought of her vows.
"Dumbledore smiled at them and continued the ceremony. The party lasted much of the night and Remus and Tonks eventually slipped out unnoticed. The Hogwarts family of teachers got more tangled each day. Now there were none, save Sirius who was still lonely.
A/N: I finally got this out. I killed the writers block (at least for this story) I'm so proud and I feel like I'm about to cry. Ok. That's enough. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
