"If I can do anything to help with it, I'm sure it will be over soon," Remus said, planting a kiss on her cheek. He still didn't get how he could've been so lucky to have the perfect woman for him. She was so spunky, sweer, and nice. And he'd protect her no matter the cost. "I don't know if I would want to break them up, it's quite cute and I wouldn't want to get gurt on my wedding day, now would I?" He wouldn't let it go to far.
"You glared at me! And stuck your tongue out at me!" Teddy complained trying to justify hus actions. Then she stepped on his foot. "Ow!" He grabbed his foot and fell to his bottom. He looked like a grown man pouting on the floor, hugging his hurt foot. Teddy grabbed Sophie's leg and tried pulling her down to the floor.

Tonks turned a slight shade of pink. Even now he could still make her blush. "If I had anything to do with it, we'd be on a beach trying not to draw too much attention to ourselves." she smiled, "I have a feeling my mother is going to want pictures though..." she kind of laughed at the two, "Okay, we can watch this for a bit."
Sophie fell and hit her butt, "Ouch! These shoes are a lot less stable than yours! So what if I glared at you? You're the one that started it!" she rubbed her butt, "Now my dress has dirt on it... and you're making a scene out of this!" Normally their gran would let them fight it out till it got serious but nomally it wouldn't get that far because they seemed to work it out.

"Us? Not draw attention? Impossible," Remus replied grinning from ear to ear, "If that is what you wish, I swear to you that the first time we have a day off that will be our activity." Plus, being on a beach would be quite fun, they could talk, and get to know even more about each other They already knew a good amount, but he wanted to know every detail of her life.
"You shouldn't have glared at me," Teddy said still cradling his poor hurt foot. Such immaturity, and yet this man on the ground cradling his foot was an Auror and a soldier for the Resistance in the past. If Mad-Eye saw him now...

Aurelius suppressed a chuckle as they approached the newly-weds. Teddy and Sophie were funny, he had to admit. Shayne and Fara had never had a relationship like that; the two do them were always running in opposite circles. The only time he saw Shayne and Fara spend extensive amounts of time together was where Mariella was concerned; Aurelius suspected that his son would do most anything if it involved Mariella.
"Congratulations, you two!" Cassie grinned, hugging both their niece and new nephew. "Remus, I'm so sorry that we didn't get to meet sooner; getting information out of my sister via letters is painful, though. I'm Dora's aunt Cassie; it's very nice to meet you."

"Okay, first day off. Although we may have to go to a different country.." Tonks shrugged. She hugged her aunt back and said, "Thanks. Aunt Cassie are you and uncle leaving soon? Because we should all go out for lunch one day so we can catch up. I'll make sure to make my hair look more natural so people won't ask questions." Andromeda finally got Ted to stop crying and go inside. She walked over to her son-in-law and daughter, her sister and brother-in-law. "Cassie, if the ministry wasn't checking everything that goes in and out of England I would love to add more information but I can't. And besides I've always been elusive." she said trying not to look at Teddy and Sophie.
"You shouldn't have hit me!" Sophie said taking her shoes off. She also gave him a look that said, 'You shouldn't have tapped that either.' Usually she'd be the one to lose, this had to be ending soon, unless they were kids again for a reason..

Cassie paused and looked up when Ally Cavaliere burst into the reception and ran over to Cassie and Aurelius.
"A day cannot go by without something happening, can it?" Aurelius sighed. "We'll be in town for quite a while, by the way, Dora. Feel free to stop in any time; our doors are never closed to you."
"Um..I'm terribly sorry," Ally spoke up anxiously. "But you might want to come with me, Lord Aurelius, Lady Cassiopeia. You see...something came up, and the Salla is not currently safe for inhabitation."
"What in the blazes happened?" Cassie demanded.
"Well....it is apparently under attack," Ally admitted.
Aurelius looked at Tonks and Lupin with a wry smile.
"Welcome to daily going-ons of the di'Angelo family," he deadpanned.

"Meanie," Teddy said glaring at Sophie. He didn't know why he was being this childish, but it was fun. Everyone who knew him knew that he was weird like this sometimes. But when that one girl, whom he didn't know prior to this, at least nit very well, or if she was from this time, he didn't recognize her.
"What? By whom?" Remus said suddenly worried. It surely wasn't Voldemort; it had to be someone else, right? Remus knew they had been looking in on Curia, but didn't get much current information. He felt so clueless.

"The Auditore, again?" Cassie asked with the air of someone that's heard this all before and had long since gotten fed up.
"Si, ma'am," Ally confirmed with a nod.
"Of course," Aurelius mumbled. "The Auditore are kind of the rival family to the Cavaliere. They work for a group of Sicillians that call themselves the Cavallaria, who claim to be the rival of the Curia but are really just a band of mercenaries that have recently sold their services to Voldemort. Much as we'd like to pretend that Italy is peaceful, we're on the brink of civil war ourselves."
Ally and Cassie both winced at the mention of the Italian Civil Wars. The four bloody conflicts were infamous throughout the Wizarding world for their high body counts and bloody battles that neither side ever truly won. Nobody was particularly anxious for a repeat of the Fourth, in which Ally had lost three older brothers and her uncle Vinny.

Remus looked at Nymphadora before looking back at Cassie and Aurelius. "Is there anything I could do to help?" Remus asked. He wasn't going to offer Nymphadora as help, as he didn't want to speak for her, but he wanted to help. While they didn't know each other well, they were family, and family was a big thing with Remus. He had no family for a long time there, until Sirius escaped, and he and Sirius were a lot like brothers. And then he died. And then, these were the only family he really had. He didn't really consider Bellatrix or Narcissa family, even if they were his mother-in-law's sisters.
Teddy looked up and noticed it was getting serious. He stood up, though his foot still hurt. "I am willing to help too!" Teddy offered, with his serious face on. It wasn't often he actually looked serious. It was hard for him to look serious, but at least his hair was a dark black now.

"Ally?" Aurelius asked, turning to the twenty-year-old woman.
Ally scowled and seemed hesitant to accept the offered help but, after glancing over her shoulder at her companion Jared who, unable to say anything, tapped his watch impatiently, she decided otherwise.
"Anyone that is going to help needs to come with Jared and I," she decided. "There's only one person holding the Salla, and she's sixteen, so I'd like to get moving. Everyone else, remain here until one of us comes to retrieve you. It should be assumed that Diagon Alley is currently unsafe to travel through."
She shot Cassie and Aurelius a pointed look that clearly stated her stance on wht they should do. Cassie smiled innocently and held her hands up in surrender.

Remus nodded. He quickly turned towards his new wife. "Please stay here Dora. It's going to be dangerous," Remus said before turning towards Ally, "Lead the way." Remus didn't want Dora to get hurt, and the best way to ensure it was to make sure she stayed here. There really wasn't enough time to argue about it, so he just hoped she would do as he said. He really doubted it, as she was such an independent woman.
"Ok," Teddy said clapping his hands, "Let's go!" He already had his wand ready to go and was more ready than he ever was for a battle. He wasn't playing around like he was before with Sophie. It was almost like he was bi-polar going so easily from acting like a 5 year old to acting like an adult.

Tonks raised her eyebrows at him, "You really think I'm going to sit back and watch while you go risk your life? HA! Yeah right, I'm coming too." She smirked up at him and said, "Wait I should change first..." she wasn't going to fight in a dress like this. "Can we all wait about three, maybe five, minutes?" She took off for the house pulling off the ballet shoes as she went. She tripped over her feet on the way to the door, "I'm okay!" she said getting back up and reassuring them all. She ran up to her room and changed into a weird sisters shirt, a pair of stretch-y pants and a puffy jean skirt over top with a pair of boots. Her mother would've killed her for the outfit. But! There was no time for that! She had to get moving. She tripped down the stairs and ended up falling on her butt. "Ooh, ouch.. No time!" she stood up and ran back outside, "I'm here, ready to go!"
Sophie shook her head, she wasn't going to go. She had to clean, fold clothes, change. So much stuff to do, so little time to do it. "I'm going to clean back at our room in the Leaky Cauldron." she smiled appologetically. "Anyone gets hurt, they're going to me. Not St. Mungos."

"Damn stubborn woman," Remus muttered to himself, however they couldn't fight over it now, time was of the essence, "We better go." Remus gave those staying a curt nod. He was sure if they tried to stay too mich longer these Auditore would sadly take over this Salla place and their allies and part of his new family would not be in good shape. Plus the Weasleys would try to make them stay. He was still in his tux and it was his wedding day. Would there be a day when nothing happened?
"Ok, be good all of you, especially you Sophie," Teddy said before waiting for Ally to give them directions, because they didn't know where this Salla thingy was.

Jared was fidgetting impatiently by the time everyone was ready to leave. It made sense; his precious little sister was the one holding the Salla.
"Jared, go ahead," Aurelius finally commanded.
The mute wizard's blue eyes flashed in his direction gratefully before Jared Apperated out of the building.
"Everyone ready?" Ally asked curtly. Receiving nods she continued. "The Salla is a large building just down the street from the Ministry building. I can Side-Along Apperate one or two people there. Volunteers?"

"Call me stubborn all you want, it won't change anything." Tonks shook her head, "I will, mainly because I'll fall if not. You heard me when I rushed right?" She looked sadly at Sophie, "Alright, now don't do anything too stupid." She smiled.
Sophie hugged her brother, and told him, "Make sure you come back in one piece. I don't want to explain to Gran why you're not there to talk to her." she waved good bye took a few steps, turned and was gone. She ended up outside her room in the leaky cauldron and went inside. She changed and hung up her dress and put away the shoes that went with it and she changed into sweats and a t-shirt, not really expecting to go anywhere.
