Tonks's POV

I yawned as I brushed out my hair, "Ready to go to the party?" I asked, Remus.

"Yeah," said Remus. He smiled and ruffled my hair. I glared at him, and just used my metamorphmagus powers to put it back in place.

"Let's go," I said, cheerfully, grabbing my purse.

The party was just a birthday dinner for Harry, yet a lot of people were there. Including my long lost best friend, Charlie.

"Charlie!" I exclaimed, running towards him.

"Hey, Tonks. I haven't seen you in ages. Hey, Remus, how are you," Charlie shook hands with Remus.

"I'm good, and you?" asked Remus, politely.

"Good. So, you're stuck with the job of babysitting Tonks?" Charlie joked.

I snorted. "Charlie, Remus is my husband."

"Wow, congratulations!" said Charlie. "Who knew you would get married?"

"Obviously not you," I joked. Remus kissed my cheek, and then left to go talk to some other guests.

"So, how are the dragons?" I asked Charlie, slightly worried about Remus.

"Pretty good. I wish it was legal to marry them, but sadly…" Charlie looked glum.

I laughed, "There's always a way."

"Yeah, I guess," said Charlie, sadly.

"Still can't believe you gave up Quidditch for this," I said, shaking my head.

"Come on, dragons are so awesome! You should come to Romania, you would love it."

"Maybe after the war, Charles," I said sadly. "I have a duty here."

He nodded, "Of course."

"Invited to Bill and Fleur's wedding?" I asked, changing to subject of the war.

"I hope so, Bill's my brother, after all." said Charlie.

"Oh right, forgot," I said. "I've been so forgetful lately…it's weird."

"Side-effect of being a klutz, probably," said Charlie, shrugging.

"Yeah…" I said, trailing off. Remus looked lonely, so I headed off to talk to him.

We were chatting about what we got for our 17th birthday, when Arthur's patronus appeared. Minister of Magic is coming with me.

"We shouldn't be here," said Remus, quickly, "Harry—I'm sorry—I'll explain another time—"

He grabbed my wrist and we exited via over the fence. I said a silent thanks to Arthur for warning everyone beforehand.

"That was close," I said, "But we are just too quick," I said, cheerfully, and then stopped when I saw his sour expressions.

"Too close," he muttered. "We need to be quicker."

"Going to be hard in a couple of months," I said, smiling.

"Why?" Remus frowned.

"…I'm pregnant," I said.

I waited for Remus to say something, but he didn't. He was too shocked.
