Thanks for reviewing!!

Chapter 12 Werewolves

Remus invited Harry to Hogsmeade the following weekend; there was someone he wanted Harry to meet. But he refused to be more specific. So Harry set off on Saturday morning and waited for Remus in the Three Broomsticks. Shortly after ten the students from Thistledown started to appear. It must have been a free weekend for them, Harry surmised.

"Migisi," Remus called, as he sat down at the table. "You look pale, what's wrong?"

"Moony," Harry smiled, "how are you," ignoring the question.

"Well actually, I'm very good," Remus answered.

"What's the big secret?" Harry asked, "You look like you're about to burst."

"I've met someone," Remus said quietly. "Someone special."

"Ah, that would explain the newly polished shoes and the handsome blue robes, your trying to impress someone."

"No, I already did that," Remus grinned, "She's very impressed by me, so much so, that she's agreed to marry me."

"Moony, congratulations!" Harry exclaimed, and a few students turned to stare at them. "Sorry," said Harry, in a quieter voice. "So do I know her?"

"Very well, actually," Remus smiled. "You've known her almost as long as I have."

"Well, come on, who is it?"

But before Remus could answer, Tonks breezed in and sat down between them, "Wotcher Harry." She grinned.

"Hey partner, what brings you here?" Harry replied.

"Well, funny you should ask," Tonks replied, "My fiancé wanted to introduce me to his adopted God son, just to see if I was up to his standards."

"Wha… You…. I mean you and Moony?" Harry was startled. "When did you two start dating?"

Remus grinned and said, "I thought you were supposed to be observant, being an Auror and all."

"Don't tease him Remy, he's very sensitive," Tonks laughed.

"Remy?" Harry lifted an eyebrow.

"Yes, Remy," Remus answered, "And about two years, to answer your first question.

"Do you realise the how potentially dangerous this marriage could be to your health?"

"Harry!" exclaimed Tonks, "I don't care that he's a werewolf and neither should you."

"I was talking to him, Tonks," Harry grinned, "Not you."

"Potentially dangerous?" Remus smiled.

"Have you ever had to deal with her first thing in the morning?"

"And exactly how would you know what she's like first thing in the morning?" Remus asked.

"I meant when we have an early shift, Moony," Harry replied, embarrassed as the joke backfired on him.

"Now, now boys," Tonks laughed, "No need for macho-muscle flexing."

"Thank God for that," Remus replied, "I don't fancy my chances."

"Don't worry Hon, you're much better than him in bed," Tonks smirked as she brushed a kiss on her fiancés lips.

"You told him?" Harry stuttered, red faced.

"Of course I did - take no secrets into a marriage."

"Don't worry Harry, I won't kill you," Remus laughed. "Besides its good to know I'm better than you at something, does my old ego good."

The three friends laughed and settled down to order another round of drinks.

"So when's the big day?" Harry asked.

"During the summer," Tonks replied. "My mother is already planning a big do."

"Will you be my best man, Migisi?"

"I would be honoured."

"Always the best man, never the groom? Eh Harry," Tonks smirked. "You should really try it you know."

"Give him a break Tonks," Remus answered, "He's too busy being an international playboy!"

"Oh thank you so much for that," Harry answered.

"Well, I have to get back to the castle," Remus replied. "I'll see you soon honey." And he kissed Tonks as he stood up. "By Harry, I'll owl you soon."

"Take care, and say hello to everyone for me."

"What even Severus?"

"Well maybe not everyone."

Remus left with his students and Harry and Tonks went back to London. Harry arrived in his flat later to find Hedwig waiting for him with a note from Hermione.

Harry,

Ron proposed, finally, and he even told me he bought the ring six years ago.

Can you believe it? Anyway I said yes and told him the news and he is over the moon.

I will speak to you soon.

Love Hermione xxx.

Harry smiled as he read the note, another happy couple. It seemed like all his friends were finally settling down and getting married. Unfortunately he still seemed to be alone. An hour later, he received another owl from Ron.

Harry,

She said yes!!!!!! I'm going to be a father…..can you believe it! I had to go to

practice today, but I'll drop by tonight, I have a question for you!!

Ron

Harry smiled - he was happy for them, they had waited a long time to get together. But somehow it just emphasised his own loneliness. It was after ten when Ron appeared in his lounge, freshly showered and grinning like an idiot.

"I'm having a baby, Harry!" Ron exclaimed. "I'm going to be a daddy!!"

"I hope your not doing it yourself!"

"Don't be a pillock," Ron replied. "She actually agreed to marry me, can you believe it?"

"She's waited for years Ron, it's not as if it's a surprise," Harry replied smiling. "So when's the big day?"

"We agreed on next month," Ron smiled. "Not too long to wait. You will be my best man, won't you?"

"Of course I will. Remus is getting married as well."

"Is he? Who to?"

"Tonks."

"Wow, never saw that coming," Ron opened the fridge and took out two beers. Opening them, he handed one to Harry. "So that just leaves you mate."

"Yeah, well don't hold your breath."

"Still looking for the perfect woman?"

"I thought I found her, but turns out I was mistaken."

"Who, not that Angelina woman?"

"No, her names Emily Prewett, but she's a muggle and didn't take the news of my 'freakishness' too well."

"She called you a freak?" Ron looked outraged.

"Not in so many words," Harry replied.

"Better of without her, mate."

"Am I," Harry muttered, "I don't see it myself."

"Maybe she'll come around."

"Yeah, in about six years, I reckon."

"Hey, no slurs to the expectant father please," Ron replied.

"So Dad, what do you think of that then?" Harry grinned at his friend.

"Unbelievably happy," Ron said, "I never really thought about children before – you know. But now I can't wait."

"When is she actually due?"

"Hermione says she has another seven months, so I have time to calm Mum down first."

"She'll be pleased, she loves her Grandchildren."

"Yeah, but I'm still going to get stick for not marrying Hermione before she got pregnant."

"Well you bloody deserve it you twit, imagine waiting six years," Harry laughed.

"You know, I should never have told you that, you're not going to let me live it down are you?"

"Not for a while," Harry laughed.
