Because it's Saturday, and I'm bored, I'm going to write another chapter! Happy reading!
"Victoire, stop squealing! I wanna hear what they say!" I whined.
"Fine, Mr. Lupin," Victoire teased, but she was silent. Dad was walking towards Mum.
"Don't call me that, that's my father," I said, but laughing. I turned my attention back onto my parents.
"Hello. You must be Nymphadora Tonks," Dad said to a blushing Mum.
"Wotcher, and please call me Tonks, not Nymphadora," she said, shaking his hand.
"It's a beautiful name to me," Dad grinned cheekily. I was slightly surprised.
Mum raised her eyebrow at Dad and slapped his arm playfully. "I'm guessing you were a Marauder. Sirius must've gotten to you."
"How did you possibly know?" Sirius walked up from behind us. Victoire jumped in shock.
"Sirius!" Mum ran for him and hugged him. Dad looked uncomfortable, like he was intruding.
"Aw, Moony, lighten up," Sirius said as he downed a shot of whiskey faster than anyone I've ever seen.
"The meeting's about to start," Dad said, walking out. Sirius and Mum followed suit. So did we.
"They got off to a good start," Victoire said cheerfully.
I only nodded. I watched as Mum sat at the only empty seat, which happened to be across from Dad. They both shifted to face Dumbledore, at the head of the table. Sirius leaned against the wall behind Dad.
"Miss Tonks, could you please introduce yourself to the rest of the Order?" Dumbledore asked kindly. Mum stood up, her hair turning red with embarrassment, a feeling I knew only too well. I changed my hair color to red also.
"Uh, wotcher! I'm Nymphadora Tonks, but please call me Tonks because Nymphadora is a stupid name that my fool-of-a-mother gave to me," she started, glaring at Dad playfully. The Order laughed quietly.
Dumbledore cleared his throat, signaling for Mum to continue.
"Anyway, I'm a junior Auror at the Ministry, and Mad-Eye is my mentor," she said, grinning at Moody.
"Don't call me that!" Moody barked. Mum laughed but continued on.
"And I'm a metamorphmagus," she added, then sat down quickly, ignoring the gaze of my father, who was stealing a rather lengthy glance at her, if I must say. Victoire tapped my arm and smiled, her expression telling me she noticed it too.
"Thank you, Nympha-" Dumbledore started, but stopped himself when Mum gave him a death glare. "Tonks, I mean. Now we must introduce ourselves. Lupin, would you mind going first?"
Dad blushed and stood up. "I'm Remus Lupin, I'm an ex-professor at Hogwarts."
Everyone, except Mum, expected him to tell her he was a werewolf. He shook his head so slightly that Mum didn't even notice.
"Alright, next?" Dumbledore looked at him expectantly.
"I'll go!" Sirius shouted. Dad turned around to face him, his expression amused.
"Okay," he said, his tone of voice sounding like a little child. "I'm a convicted murderer, who's also your cousin, and I'm gonna bloody kill Peter bloody Pettigrew for betraying me and Moony here. And I'm an animagus, and my form is a dog cause I'm playful and loveable!"
Victoire and I burst out laughing. So did most of the Order, besides Snape, and Dad, though he was certainly entertained by his odd best friend.
"Alright, settle down!" Dumbledore said to the ranks in between his breaths. "Hestia?"
While the rest of the Order took their turns introducing themselves, Victoire started complaining of being hungry. I was too, so we went to the kitchen and got some food from the fridge. There was a lot of pie, probably Sirius's fault. Well, at least it tasted good.
Then we heard a lot of shuffling feet from the meeting room. "Teddy, the meeting's almost over!" Victoire screamed, and she bolted into the meeting room, pie in mouth.
Mum was saying goodbye to Hestia Jones when she caught Dad's eye, who was talking to Arthur Weasley. Blue eyes met golden brown eyes, and next thing I know, Victoire is squealing.
"Look, they're staring at each other! They like each other!"
"Victoire, calm down!" I shouted. I looked around to see that nobody even glanced in our direction. I would never get used to this. It was so bloody cool!
Sirius walked over to Mum. "Can you stay for a little while? Bill, Remus and I are having a couple drinks here."
Mum blushed when Dad's name was mentioned. "Uh, sure." Then she cocked her head to the side. "Did you even ask Bill or Remus if they would stay?"
Bill, who was on the other side of the room, was talking to Molly Weasley, his mother, when Sirius shouted to him, "Hey Bill, can you stay here for a while with Tonksy and me?"
Bill turned red, but smiled and said yes.
"Daddy!" Victoire ran over to hug him, but when she wrapped her arms around him, she fell into the next room. Bill joined Dumbledore and Arthur in the living room.
"Are you okay?" I asked, holding out my hand for her. As soon as she fell I ran over.
"Ya, I'm good," she said, pulling herself up. By the time we reentered the meeting room, most of the Order had left. Dad grabbed his briefcase and was heading towards the door when Sirius stopped him.
"Moony, can you stay a little while?" he asked, holding a glass of wine in his hand already. Merlin, the man really knew how to drink on a regular basis without having a hangover.
"Well, I shouldn't," Dad started. Sirius glared at him.
"C'mon, you know you want to," he said mysteriously, waving the glass of wine in front of Dad's face. I snorted with laughter.
"Fine," Dad said, dropping his briefcase on the floor and putting his hands up like he was getting arrested. "You win."
"I know, I totally hypnotized you," Sirius said, pulling Dad with him to the kitchen, where Bill and Tonks were seated around the small table.
"Hey Remus," Bill said.
"Wotcher," Mum said quietly. Dad said his hello quickly and sat across from Bill.
"Here you go," Sirius said, placing a large glass of Scotch in front of Dad.
Bill whistled loudly. "Are you trying to unleash his inner beast, Sirius?"
Tonks laughed. "Nice line, Bill. Like Remus is a beast, look at him!"
Sirius, Bill and Dad froze.
"Nice going, Bill," Sirius whispered angrily.
"Sorry!" Bill whispered frantically, looking at Dad with forgiving eyes.
"Why are we whispering?" Mum whispered.
"No reason," Dad's voice sounded funny. Mum's eyebrows knit together in accusation and confusion.
"I suppose we should tell her," Sirius said, looking at Mum.
"Tell me what?" she said.
Victoire and I gave each other frightened looks. Mum was about to find out Dad's darkest secret.
