Hi, sorry I haven't updated since June 30! Busy summer! Kinda. Anyway, here's the chapter!

Nymphadora Tonks was sitting in the backyard of her and Remus Lupin's, cottage. He had just proposed to her a couple days ago, and she had jumped into his arms and eagerly accepted. The cottage was his childhood home, and she fell in love with it as soon as he brought her to it. Remus was sitting beside her, reading a book.

"Remus?" Tonks asked. He put his book down and smiled at her.

"Yes?" He looked at her expectantly.

"," she said quickly. He chuckled at her.

"Could you say that again please, Nymphadora?" Remus asked, amused.

"My parents invited us for dinner tonight," she repeated slowly. The blood in his face drained, leaving him a deathly white color.

"Oh." That was all he said. "I don't think they'll approve of us. Wait, did you tell them that you were marrying me?"

"Not yet. But they'll find out when we get there, and they'll love you because you are a wonderful man." Nymphadora kissed his cheek before she got up. "I'm gonna change now. Knowing Mum, it's probably going to be formal."

"But all my best robes are patched. Just by appearance, they won't like me," said Remus worriedly.

"Doesn't matter. I happen to love your patched robes. You look very handsome in them." And with that, Nymphadora left to change, leaving him smiling with the compliment.


"Remus! Stop worrying! You'll be fine!" Nymphadora exclaimed. They had just knocked on the door a couple seconds ago, and he already looked as if he was about to bolt any minute.

The door swung open and Andromeda Tonks stood in the doorway. She was smiling, but she frowned a bit when she caught sight of Remus.

"Hello Nymphadora. Remus." Andromeda nodded curtly to him. She turned back to Nymphadora. "Sweetie, where's your fiancée? Why would you bring a friend?" She looked over Remus again in slight disgust. "A much older friend."

"I didn't bring a friend," said Nymphadora. "This is my fiancée, Remus Lupin."

"What's going on down here? What-" Ted stopped and saw Remus standing next to Nymphadora. "Hello Remus! Didn't expect you to be here! When's Dora's fiancée getting here?" He was still cheerful, so he had no idea that the man standing in front of him was his future son-in-law.

"Dad, Remus Lupin is my fiancée," Nymphadora said. They looked at each other with loving eyes before Remus finally greeted Andromeda and Ted.

"Hello Ted. Hello Andromeda," he greeted politely. But Nymphadora's parents were seething. Nymphadora glared at them defiantly and pushed past them with Remus. They both sat down at the dining room.

"Remus, do you mind if we borrow Dora for a minute?" asked Ted. Remus shook his head and Nymphadora followed her parents to the kitchen, where they cast an Imperturbable Charm. "What are you thinking?"

"What do you mean by that?" she asked angrily. "Are you asking why I am marrying Remus?"

"Yes, that's exactly what we're asking!" Andromeda snapped. "He went to school with us! He's old!"

"You were in your last year when he was in his first! And he's not old, he's only thirty eight!" said Nymphadora indignantly.

"That's a thirteen year difference! You're only twenty five!" Andromeda argued. "And he's a werewolf! He's dangerous for you!"

"No he's not!" she shouted. "Why do you think I was so miserable last year! I was trying to convince him that he isn't dangerous for me!"

"Does he have a job? Or any money? Just one look at him and you can tell that he's poor!" Ted added.

"I don't care if he's poor or old or dangerous! I love him!" Nymphadora fought.

"We don't approve! Sirius wouldn't approve either! And don't you want to do as your cousin would want, to not marry Lupin?" asked Andromeda, touching her daughter's shoulder.

"No! Sirius did want me to marry Remus! He was the one who set up our first kiss! He would approve! I can feel it!" Nymphadora screamed. "And Remus is his best friend, of course he would approve!"

"There's no way Nymphadora could love Lupin on her own free will! He's probably threatening her! I'll get him! He'll never marry you Nymphadora! Not if I can help it! I'm protecting you!" Andromeda stomped out of the room, Ted on her heels. She ran after them, but when she got to the dining room, her parents had already pinned him against the wall.

"How dare you threaten Dora into marriage? Or maybe you Imperiused her into believing that she's in love with you! I can't believe your filthy werewolf paws have already been on her!" Ted stormed.

"I didn't do anything to her, I swear," Remus gasped. Ted's hand was wrapped around his throat. "Please, let me go!"

"Let him go Dad! Stupefy!" Nymphadora pointed the wand at Ted, and he flew into the wall. Andromeda gasped, looking at Nymphadora in horror.

"Nymphadora! How could you?" Andromeda cried. Nymphadora knew that her father was fine though, and she threw her arms around Remus. She kissed him on the lips for a few seconds before she noticed that her parents were watching.

"Ted, Andromeda, can I please marry your daughter?" asked Remus shyly. He took a step closer to them, but Andromeda pulled her wand out and he took a step back again, his head down. He scratched the back of his head before continuing. "I love your daughter. Very, very much. I would never do anything to hurt her. And I know that I was the reason of her depression last year, but don't think that I didn't feel the same way. Her Patronus changed into a werewolf, and mine to a chameleon. My boggart is her dead body on the ground. I will do my best to protect her. Even if you don't approve, I will still marry Nymphadora, though I'd very much like if you approved of our marriage."

Ted and Andromeda seemed to contemplate. Then Ted spoke up.

"You must really love Nymphadora," he said, but not in a question. Remus nodded, meeting their intense gazes. Ted suddenly smiled, and Nymphadora was relieved. "I can tell. I'm happy to know that Dora'll be marrying someone who is completely in love with her. I give my blessing."

"Me too. Even if I still think that it's slightly inappropriate because of your age difference, and the fact that you're poor and dangerous monthly, I still approve, because I can tell in the way that you look at her that she is your other half. I approve," said Andromeda, a smile spreading onto her face. "Now, who would like to eat?"

Everyone nodded happily and sat down. Ted and Andromeda smiled knowingly at each other, knowing that Remus and Nymphadora were holding hands under the table.

So, what'd ya think? I admit, this was a pretty angsty chapter! Wow! And I still can't get over how sweet Remus is, this chapter and other stories! Hahaha! Please please please review! And next up, James and Lily Potter!
