"Harry" Remus greeted his former student as he walked into the Burrow. "I received your letter, I assume you want to talk about Hermione?"

Harry nodded, 'I know you are her father"

Remus sighed quietly, "I wish I knew how to respond to that"

"Tell me the whole story" Harry asked and Remus sighed.

"I dated Nora for about 4 years" Remus started with a wistful look in his eyes." I loved her so much but I kept a secret from her. James and I both thought it best that she not know I was a werewolf. When she found out not only did she break up with me but also she left the country. I think she ended up in America, I am not real sure, but anyway I didn't know she was pregnant for a while after that. When I found out I was heartbroken. James found out the bay was given up for adoption to muggle parents but that's all we could find. It wasn't until I met Hermione that I began searching again. I felt something for Hermione, like a band and I thought it was because I missed my daughter. It was Dumbledore who told me that Hermione was my little girl. Hermione's parents hadn't told her she wad adopted so we vowed to keep it to ourselves"

"I am sorry Remus" Harry replied.' but you should tell her, she has a right to know. Not to mention if she finds out on her own she will be angry"

Remus tried to find an argument but couldn't. He sighed again, 'your right Harry" He relented and Harry smiled.

"So, Hermione is my cousin" Harry said aloud and Remus nodded his head.

"When should I tell her?" Remus asked his former student. Harry shrugged.

"Tonight after dinner?' Harry suggested and Remus agreed.

'I will be back then, I have some things to take care of" Remus told him as he headed out.

Once back at his apartment he took out a piece of parchment and started the hardest letter he ever had to write.

Dear Nora,

I am only writing to let you know our daughter started looking for us. She knows whom her mother is and I am going to tell her about her father. She deserves to know the truth.

I only notified you out politeness. She may contact you, I don't know but I need nothing from you.

Sincerely

Remus J Lupin

PS

I am getting married

He wrote her name on the outside and attached it to the leg of an owl. When that task was done he went to find his fiancé. Tonks was in the bedroom getting dressed for Dinner at the burrow.

"Tonks, can I talk to you for a moment?" Remus asked patting a spot on the bed. She nodded and sat beside him.

"I love you" he started.

"I love you too," Tonks answered.

"I have been keeping something from you" Remus advised her, "I have daughter"

"How old is she?" Tonks asked, "Who is her mother? How long have you known?"

Remus told her about Nora and how he found out about his child. Tonks looked really shocked. "So, Hermione is your daughter?" Tonks asked. Remus nodded, "Does Hermione know?"

"No" Remus answered, 'I am telling her tonight. I just needed you to know first"

"I appreciate that" Tonks replied, she took Remus's hand, "And I am not angry at you. Your past is yours and it ahs nothing to do with me. I am glad you were honest with me"

"Ok, well we better go." Remus aid anxiously, "Are you ready"

Tonks nodded and the two apparated to the Burrow.

Mrs.Weasley was doing the dishes when Remus asked Harry, hermione and Ron to go for a walk. He was just going to ask hermione but he was afraid she would be upset and wanted Harry and Ron there as support for her.

For a few minutes they discussed the weather, the war and anything but the topic at hand. Finally Remus bit the bullet and decided to come clean.

"Hermione" he said, "I heard you found out you are adopted"

Hermione nodded, "I found out that my mother's name was Nora Potter" Hermione said, "Kind of weird you know, but I am not sure she is related to Harry. I am still researching her"

"I could help" Remus told her quietly. 'I knew her very well"

"Really?" hermione squealed.

"She was James's Potter's younger sister" Remus started and Hermione looked confused.

"Well, that would mean Harry is my cousin" hermione said and Remus nodded. "Tell me more about my mom?" Hermione begged. "Did she go to Hogwarts?"

"Yes" Remus answered, "She ended up transferring to the Salem Witches Academy I think. She graduated a year after me. She was beautiful She actually looked a lot like you" Hermione beamed but remained silent, "Focused and Driven. School was important to Nora. She sued to drive James and Sirius up the wall with her badgering about studying and homework"

"Were you friends?" Hermione asked. "Is she still alive. Can I meet her?"

"Yes she is alive," Remus told her, "She is in America still I think. She could be contacted if you wish"

"So it seems you very good friends" hermione replied.

"She was my girlfriend." Remus told her. It took Hermione a moment to process finally she looked at Remus her eyes filled with tears.

"Are you my dad?" hermione asked.'

Remus nodded trying to hold back his own tears. Hermione looked at him for a moment, like she was trying to get a grip on the moment. "Ok" Hermione answered and she walked back towards the burrow alone.

"I'll go" Ron said running after her.

"That went well?" Remus said but it sounded more like a question.

"She'll come around" Harry assured him. The two walked back to the Burrow slowly
