Four Days Later

Tonks entered the Great Hall and sat in her usual seat next to Remus. For some reason, he seemed very unusually nervous today. The full moon had been two nights ago, so it obviously wasn't the reason.

"Remus, is something wrong?" Tonks asked him.

"Er, no, everything is just wonderful," he replied. "But there is something that I would like to ask you."

"I'm listening."

He pulled something out of his pocket and got down on one knee before Tonks. Everyone in the Great Hall stopped eating and talking, and they all stared up towards the staff table. This made Remus even more nervous.

"Nymphadora Tonks, will you marry me?" he asked and he opened the black satin box to reveal the pink-stoned ring.

"Yes!" she cried and kissed him (but only briefly because all of the people were still watching.

Suddenly, everyone began to clap except for a few Slytherins. Tonks got up and sat down of Remus's lap. Anyone could easily see that these two definitely belonged together.

After dinner many students went up to congratulate their professors. Harry, Ron, and Hermione instead looked on the Marauder's Map to see whose room they were going to and followed them. They also made sure to check that there were no little hearts and lips on the map before going to visit. They caught up with the happy couple just before they go to Remus's quarters.

"Congrats you guys!" squealed Hermione.

"Yeah, I'm really happy for you guys!" Harry added.

"Thanks," said Tonks more happy than anyone had ever seen her.

"Well I guess we'll give you guys you privacy," said Ron. "Take all the time you need to do it. Just don't forget that you have to teach tomorrow morning," he said with a smirk.

Tonks let out a small giggle.

"Oh, Ronald! Why do you always do things like that?" Hermione gave an exasperated sigh.

Harry was trying very hard to hold back his laughter.

"Goodnight," said Hermione as she began to pull Ron away by his arm, and Harry followed.

Remus and Tonks entered Remus's quarters that were covered in items bearing the Gryffindor crest, or just simply had something to do with Gryffindor.

"Remus, can I talk to you before we do anything fun?"

"Sure Dora."

"Ooo, I like that. Anyways, what do you think about us having kids?"

"I guess it would be nice to have a child eventually if it's possible," Remus replied.

"What do you mean by, 'if it was possible' ? Why wouldn't it be possible?"

"Well, it probably wouldn't be to easy to try to teach and plan all the lessons along with trying to raise a baby."

"I'm sure I could manage, and I'd love to have a kid of our own," she replied.

"Ok, Dora. If that's what would make you happy is to have a child, then we can. And besides, I would love to have a child of my own someday."

"That's absolutely wonderful1, because, well, we are going to have a baby!"

"Are we really?" Remus asked, full of excitement.

She nodded her head just before he pulled her into a kiss.

"I love you," she said with a smile.

"I love you too," he replied.

They began kissing until an hour later they were both resting under the covers in each other's arms, fully undressed and asleep.
