Cheers for the reviews guys! Glad ya enjoyed the last chapter. Here we go again so…..:) Talk 2 ya!!:)

"Can you believe that he is gone James? I mean……he is actually gone….." Sirius mused as he looked from the daily prophet. James was sitting opposite him at the kitchen table as he despondently replied…

"No…I cant mate. I always wanted him dead but……its just so surreal when you see it in black and white. The part that gets me the most though is that……one of our own killed him!"

"Ya I know…..but according to Moody he was trying to escape."

"Oh Sirius you know Moody as well as I do! We both know that he needed no excuse to kill Peter! He always mistrusted his nervous disposition……"

"Still though…..at least that's one death eater down…..after what he did to Harry and Arielle it's a relief to some extent….." James nodded as he sipped his coffee. Sirius stare at him as he disbelievingly asked…

"Oh James don't tell me you actually feel guilty!" Sirius exclaimed anxiously.

"Its not that Sirius…..I know that he wouldn't have spared us if he had the chance but….he was still our friend……or at least he was till he discovered a higher power….."

"Yes exactly! Peter didn't care who he deceived or killed so long as Voldie praised him. Don't you dare sit your ass down there and feel sorry for that rat!"

"You were the one who said can you believe he is gone Sirius! So don't lecture me mate!"

"I was reminiscing……you were not. Don't to that James. He is not worth it."

"Ya…..I know but…..you cant help feeling sorry for him no matter how much you hate him. I mean…just think right…..he would still be here had he not been a death eater."

"Well Peter made a choice and now he has suffered the consequences. Look I gota get to work….talk to you later?"

"Ya sure. Talk to later Sirius." James smiled at his friend who eyed him suspiciously.

Remus sat in his office scrutinizing the daily prophet. The front page had a bold headline which read…

"RETIRED AUROR KILLS RENOWNED DEATH EATER; PETER PETTIGREW!

Residing auror Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody who escorted the infamous Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban yesterday afternoon with the minister for magic, Cornelius Fudge, has openly admitted to administering the fatal curse. According to Moody, Pettigrew who was handcuffed was attempting an escape. "The rat would spare nobody you can be sure of that! He had a slimy sneer pulled across his face as he began wriggling out of his handcuffs. I had to act before he snuck back to the dark lord. To some this may have appeared a little extreme but it was only a matter of time. Why postpone the inevitable? Constant Vigilance I always say! You get them before they get you."

Peter was an alleged death eater since he was fifteen years old. According to him, he was the only one who could assist "he who must not be named" back to power. The question on everyone's lips now is….How long will it be before he seeks aid from another follower….."

"Remus……oh you saw it then…" Remus looked up to see Tonks standing in his office. He smiled sadly at her as he replied….

"They only speak the truth Tonks. Why should they shield the world from the truth?"

"I am not concerned about the world……only you Remus." She replied walking over and sitting at the edge of his desk. He smiled at her as he said….

"Thank you. I am fine however so please……don't worry about me…"

"Remus….no matter what he did to you, no matter how much you despised him…he was your friend for eight years. It's natural to miss him and dare I say mourn his death? Nobody will think badly of you if you did."

"I know Tonks….but I am okay. Really…..it just came as a sort of shock I guess you know? To see it there in black and white. There are so many more important things to be concerned with than the death of treacherous friend….."

"Such as?" She asked smiling happily. Remus reciprocated it as he gently took her hand and stood up saying….

"Such as our wedding……the day that you become my wife. The happiest day of my life…"

"Did I ever tell you how much I love a man who rhymes?" She asked playfully. He smirked as he leaned in and kissed her.

A few minutes later Remus asked her the one question that was playing on his mind for some time.

"Have you reached a decision about the wedding date yet?"

"Oh yes I have indeed! We both agreed that it should be in July right?"

"Ya…..we said that so…." He asked sitting back in his chair with one hand supporting his chin.

"What do you say to July 31st?"

"Tonks July 31st is Harry's birthday…." She smiled broadly as he replied…..

"Yes I know Remus but I thought that after the year he has had with the whole Wormtail thing going on and all that…..maybe our wedding on his birthday would give him something to look forward to. We could have a joined celebration Remus! What do you think?"

"I think….if possible that is….that I have just fallen more in love with you."

She smiled as she stared at the ground and said…..

"We are all going to be a family Remus so…..I just want to do best by all."

"Tonks that is the kindest, generous thing I have ever heard from anyone. Harry will love you for it!" She laughed a little as he replied…..

"Well if it wasn't for Harry we wouldn't be here so…..it's also my way of saying thank you."

"Come here…." Remus said as he kissed her quickly on the lips.

"July 31st then?" He asked with his arms around her neck. She smiled and nodded saying….

"We are getting married on July 31st!"
