Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the school work piled up.

The next few weeks went by in a blur, the Order had taken well to the new Headquarters and each member had received their magical tracking earring. The training with Harry continued harder than ever. Lillian now took Harry out running every morning before the rest of the school even woke up. They would run around the lake to build up Harry's stamina, needless to say Harry was dead on his feet the first time he tried it. For now Harry's waking time was usually 5 am after going to bed always around 10 or 11 because of training with Lillian. Even though Harry's body changed in the summer because of his inheritance, his body was changing yet again. With the exercise and running he grew a well defined six-pack and the muscles in his legs and arms were much more noticeable than before, his schools robes managed to disguise them but his Quidditch robes didn't. And so over time the Harry Potter Fan Girl Association was born, much to Lillian's annoyance, the Marauder's laughable pleasure and Harry's embarrassment. As both James and Sirius had had their own fan club while they were at Hogwarts they tried to teach Harry how to deal with the screaming girls. Now whenever Harry or Ron (which was quite the developed man too as he was training with Sirius) went they were getting followed by herds of girls. To Ron's jealousy, Hermione too was getting looks and whistles from other males, her hair lost the bushiness and now lay in soft waves and curls down her back, her curvy figure didn't help either.
However it wasn't just Harry's body that changed and grew, his magic was growing at a fast pace. The training was certainly paying off because he could now beat his father at a duel, and that was saying something. He just wanted to learn more and more, he had this thirst for knowledge he couldn't explain. He had read most books in the library and even the ones in the Restricted Section, not to mention Lillian's personal mini library in her office. Where Lillian was concerned Harry was happier than ever. They would go on dates around the world, once she had taken him to Mt. Fuji in Japan to watch a display of fireworks and he was completely stunned when she appeared in front of him wearing a beautiful red and gold silk kimono with silver phoenixes sown into the delicate fabric. Another time both had swam to the bottom of the ocean to meet the mermaids living there, he quickly learned their language and now he had a habit of talking to the mermaids in the Black Lake when he went swimming. However some things worried him. One was that whenever Lillian looked into the future she only saw darkness around her own, this made her feel so low that she couldn't get into the right state of mind to see anything else except that same flash of Harry holding a baby girl. Another thing was that William was not back yet, this preoccupied him because Voldermort had been quiet lately, there were the small daily attacks as usual, which the Order was doing quite a good job at preventing, but still he had a nagging feeling that something was going to happen.
In the beginnings of November the first Quidditch match arrived; Gryffindor versus Slytherin. Lillian was watching from the chair that Dumbledore used when he watched Quidditch. She was dressed in a heavy set of robes and was wishing Harry good luck through their link. Harry's mind kept going back to the previous night's activities and grinned. When the Gryffindor team flew into the pitch the whole stadium literally went 'Wow' at the sight of the Firebolt 2's. The Slytherin team were on Nimbus 2001's but they were still no match to the Gryffindor's. Harry caught the snitch two minutes into the game with roaring applause from the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff audience, leaving a stunned Slytherin Seeker that didn't even have time to react when Harry zoomed past him, snitch nearly in hand. Needless to say the Slytherin's were quiet after that; the smirks were wiped from their faces. After the party at Gryffindor Tower was over Harry made his way to his room which he shared with Lillian. He heard voices from the inside.
"Remus, are you sure you want to do this like…this? We could do this in a much nicer way" he heard Lillian say
Harry entered and saw Lillian seating behind her desk with Remus and Tonks in front of her.
"Lillian please we don't want to post pone it anymore" Tonks said
"Ok I understand, but please give me one hour and I will take care of everything. A wedding is important, you would want to have parents and friends there wouldn't you?" Lillian asked, hopeful.
Tonks and Remus looked at each other and talked quietly between themselves for a minute.
"Very well one hour" Remus said
Lillian grinned "See not very hard" She looked up at Harry "Hello Harry just in time, these two wanted to get married right now. We have to get the appropriate details done, what is a wedding without celebration?"
"Funny you say that Lillian I don't seem to remember getting an invitation for your wedding with Harry" Remus said. This made Harry and Lillian blush, but Lillian recomposed herself faster.
"Sirius really can't keep his mouth shut" she said quietly to herself "Don't say such things Remus; you know a soulmate wedding ceremony is different. But now get going, Remus you go to James and Tonks go to Lily, I have already mentally contacted them and they are waiting for you. Meet me at Headquarters in an hour" she hurried them away.
"That Remus can have really cheeky remarks when he wants to" Lillian said, receiving a hug from behind from Harry, who was now kissing her neck.
"Harry we… have things to do" she managed to say. Harry stopped his teasing.
"How about when all this is over we can have a normal wedding, I can propose and all the usual stuff, big party and celebrations, white dress etc" Harry suggested
"I would love that, when this is all over" she said smiling at his suggestion.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked
"Dress something nice and accompany me downstairs"
The two Apparated to Headquarters, Lillian turned to Harry "Harry can you be a sweetheart and put up some white and silver decorations, you know something like the ones at Bill's wedding" Harry nodded laughing at her anxiety. He really loved it when she was bossy. Lillian Apparated to the Kitchens, where she began to prepare food with the elves, Penna was sent around the main members of the Order and Tonks family and friends, but as they were mostly in the Order it made it much quicker and easier. Ten minutes to go Lillian appeared with about twenty elves and set food on the table. She waved her hand and white roses appeared, joining Harry's already perfect decorations.
Lillian went to check on Tonks, she was in one of the rooms on the left wing of the chamber. She was dressed in a simple yet elegant white dress that hugged her figure. She was trying to decide which colour she would take her hair in. She was arguing with Lily.
"Tonks just take any colour, we are going to be late" Lily said as Lillian came in.
"Lillian what colour do you think suits me best?" Tonks asked
"Be yourself Tonks" the seventeen- year old answered. Tonks smiled and changed the blonde to her usual bubble-gum pink. It looked unusual with her white dress but that was Tonks for you. Lily transfigured her own robes to something more elegant like she did with Tonks. There was a knock on the door. It was Ted, Tonks father.
"The groom is ready, people are waiting and you look wonderful, but I have to say this was very short notice" he said
"Thanks dad, Remus and I didn't want to wait any longer" Tonks said hugging him.
Lillian was looking closely at Tonks, after a few seconds she smiled and left the room. On her way she changed her clothes too, from witches' robes to her ceremonial ones with the Merlin Crest on the front. How did Remus convince her to perform the wedding ceremony? She was happy to organise it, she loved Remus and Tonks to bits, but she had never done it before, as Supreme Head of the Wizengamot she was allowed to, but still. She walked into the main room. The chairs had been moved together and people were sitting down waiting. She made her way through the isle, a nervous Remus dressed in fine black wizard robes smiled nervously at her.
"Thank you Lillian everything is perfect" Remus said
"Don't thank only me Remus, everyone else helped too" she answered
She looked over at Harry, he was drop down dead gorgeous in formal black robes, he winked at her, and she smiled at him. It was hard sometimes, wanting to hug him and kiss him in public but not being able to, but the time they spent in private was sufficient for her for now. She went to the centre of the altar waiting for Tonks, next to her was Remus and next to him was James. On her right stood Lily, Ted made his way up the isle with Tonks, her bright pink hair stood out like a light bulb in the darkness. Lillian looked at Remus; the expression on his face was of the utmost happiness. He took Tonk's hand when the two adults reached the altar. Lillian began the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Remus John Lupin and Nymphadora Elizabeth Tonks" Lillian began. She went on to explain the values and importance of marriage.
"Can the Best Man and Maid of Honour step forward please" James and Lily stepped forward.
"Lord James Potter do you accept to watch over this union and grant your blessing?" Lillian asked
"I do accept and I give my blessing" James said
"Lady Lily Potter do you accept to watch over this union and grant your blessing?" Lillian asked
"I do accept and I give my blessing" Lily said. The two Potters retrieved to their previous places.
"Does anyone object to this wedding?"
…Silence…
"Remus John Lupin do you take Nymphadora Elizabeth Tonks to be your beloved wife, do you promise to love her, respect her, cherish her and be loyal to her during both good and bad times till death do you apart?"
"I do" Remus said
"Nymphadora Elizabeth Tonks do you take Remus John Lupin to be your beloved husband, do you promise to love him, respect him, cherish him and be loyal to him during both good and bad times till death do you apart?"
"I do" Tonks said
Penna began a loving song and one of her feathers fell from her tail. The feather levitated itself and stood in front of Remus and Tonks.
"This is Penna's gift, may the phoenix song bring luck in your marriage and-" the gold feather shifted into the shape of two beautiful gold wedding rings "-may the phoenix rings be the eternal sign of you commitment" Remus took the smaller ring and placed it on Tonks wedding finger, Tonks then did the same to him.
"Under the legislation as Supreme Head of the Wizengamot I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" Lillian finished.
Remus and Tonks who were both nearly crying shared their first kiss as a married couple and the room exploded into applause. People were conjuring rose petals and throwing them at the two happy people.
Everyone proceeded to partying, instruments were charmed to play lively music and the food, especially the wedding cake, was brilliant. Lillian went over to the bride and groom to congratulate them. They thanked her and everyone else again and Lily charmed the cameras so they would take pictures by themselves during the party. While everyone else was dancing (surprisingly Ron managed to dance with Hermione without steeping on her feet too much), Harry went over to Lillian who was seating by herself.
"Care to dance my lady?" Harry asked extending his hand, Lillian took it with smile but before they began dancing she placed a very powerful Notice-Me-Not charm around the two of them. They danced and danced until they had enough and went to sit down.
The party began to calm down. Many of the guests left because they had to go and work or had things to sort out. Two hours later there was only the four Potters, Hermione, Ron, Remus and Tonks left.
The four Potters (James, Lily, Harry and Lillian) were vanishing the rest of the food and cleaning up the place. The newly weds were at a corner talking to Hermione and Ron. When the Potters were done they went over to the Lupins.
"I am here to give you your wedding gift" Lillian said
"Lillian you have done enough for us already" Remus said
"Don't refuse any gifts from me Remus, don't you know it's rude" she said playfully "Tonks remember that Order safe house by the beach that you adored? Well that is yours now" Tonks grinned and thanked her over and over again, she loved that house, it was just big enough for her and Remus to bring up a small family in the future. The beach was beautiful too.
But Lillian wasn't done yet "Second, Tonks you will, from now on, remain here at Headquarters or the Ministry, I wont allow you to do any field work for the next year, I-" she was cut off.
"Why? Don't tell me you believe that nonsense about married women should stay at home" Tonks said quickly.
"Like I was about to say, I simply don't want another life, which can be saved, to be lost in this war" she finished.
"Another life? But… you mean?" Tonks began looking at Lillian who in turn was looking at Tonk's stomach.
"I'm pregnant?" she asked, placing her hand over her stomach.
Lillian nodded "I'd say just over three weeks" she said smiling. Remus was beyond words and hugged and kissed his wife. For the next few minutes all the eight, plus Sirius who was called by James mentally, exchanged handshakes, hugs and kisses. Harry watched with his arm around Lillian's shoulders and her head leaning on him, he watched the happiness around him, glad that his life was going so well, but the feeling that something was going to happen was still in his heart.
