Remus had a little bit of money saved up, and well, what better to spend it on then a ring for his fiancee? He didn't have very much money, since it was really hard for him to get a job, but apparently Sirius had left him a small amount of his money, and Remus had been able to save up money over the years.
Remus apparated to a muggle shop, and picked up the ring which he had ordered. Sure it was small, and it wasn't much, but it was a ring, and he knew that Nymphadora would love it. As soon as he recieved it and paid for it, he apparated to the Grimmauld Place, right on the step so no one would see it.
Mad-Eye had set up a trap so if Snape arrived there, he wouldn't be able to get in. Remus felt pretty safe as it was being here, because if someone did come, he could apparate away or something. He walked around the house, still quite dusty even through Molly's efforts to get it clean, sitting on the couch in the living room.
Every time he was in here since Sirius died, he always felt that Sirius would just come strolling in. But he never did. Remus looked up at the roof and sighed.
"Well old buddy," Remus said as if Sirius was there right now, "You've got your wish. I'm going to get married, Padfoot. I remember when James and Lily got married, and how you insisted that you would never get married. It was a great day. Two great friends getting married. I know that I wasn't the only one happy for them, but at the point I was sure that I would never be in James' position. Even with you trying to push me towards that direction I always resisted. And.... And do you remember our last day in school when we turned everyone red and gold, those were the days. Even when things looked dark you, James and Lily were there for me. And now, all of you are gone. But even after that I've been able to find the light, finally because of one special woman. I love her more than anything else in the world and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It's Nymphadora, you're little cousin. You guessed right a couple years ago. I didn't want to admit it, but I did like her back then even, when I first met her. Well, Padfoot. Wish me luck. Tell James and Lily I love them, and... I hope they're happy for me."
Remus sighed before looking back down, feeling that was something he needed to do. Even if Sirius might not even hear it, because he was floating with the angels. He bet that Sirius was too busy flirting with a girl to hear him, if he could even hear him. But, it felt good to feel like he told him. For the first time, Remus was completely over Sirius' death and wasn't depressed at all about it. He had finally accepted the death of his old friend. And now he was starting a new life.

Marietta Liven, a short sneaky girl by nature, had walked into a house earlier in the day and while she was there she'd taken a good look around. Nothing for kids, although she'd found a room with the name Regulus on it and didn't find anything good enough for her to prove she could be a good spy for her family. But she would never turn anything over to the Death Eaters, she did not roll that way. She'd stopped when she heard movement down stairs. She quickly hid and heard someone talking to themselves. Who could that be? Wait, she'd heard something about these people. But who was it!?
She looked around the corner, her hair was pulled back and she was trying hard to stay hidden. She whispered to herself, "Is this guy insane? No one lives here, it's practically deserted! Oh shut up Etta, the more you talk the more he'll hear you!"

Remus was just sitting there when he heard something. He jumped up off of the couch pulling out his wand. If it was a Death Eater he'd be dead by now. He remained calm, however he wondered who in the world thay could be. Could it ne Sirius as a ghost? No, no that was just stupid to think, Sirius wouldn't be a ghost especially after all this time and not seeing him.
"Come out! I'm armed, so don't try anything!" Remus shouted before looking around to see who in the world would be here. He knew that he shouldn't have come here after Dumbledore had died. It wasn't safe, but he felt he needed to for some reason.

Marietta smacked the wall, why did she ever take up telling herslef what to do? She stepped out from around the corner with her hands up. She was wearing her sisters black body suit so she could hide in the dark. She pursed her lips, of course she was going to be found by an old man.
"Right, an old man armed with what? A ring? I heard your whole monolouge." she rolled her eyes. "Now if you're wondering why I'm here, I couldn't get my sister to let me go so I took her suit and ran." She was really going to have to give a full explination wasn't she?

Damn it. This little girl heard it all... And she called him OLD! Well he might be old, but the girl had the nerve to say it to his face. He didn't drop his wand, as he couldn't be too careful. He kept his wand trained on the girl, but he made sure to pay attention everywhere else as she could be just a decoy to attack him from behind or the side.
"I have my wand, thank you very much, little girl," Remus said bitterly, "How do I know you aren't a Death Eater using a Poly Juice Potion, or a decoy so the Death Eaters can capture me?" He felt a little weird having been here with some little girl who just showed up. "How do you know of this place? Someone from the Order had to have told you."

"You act like I'm offended to be called little." Marietta laughed, "Now, I'm not a death eater because why would a girl my age want to be something that stupid?" She rolled her eyes, "Geeze I swear you are insane.. Now, if I really wanted to have you captured why would I be sneaking around trying to find anything I can use to prove I'm worthy to be in my family." she pulled her wand out of her boot and showed it, "You want to see it? It's not really special, just a ten inch with pegasus wing feather core.. also made of teak. I like it.. but I don't think it suits me.. Anyway! I got in here because I have connections, do you really think someone like me could break in with out being able to see this building?"

"Expelliarmus!" Remus said pointing his wand at her the instant she pulled hee wand out. " Sorry, but I can't be too careful. It depends, you could be a Death Eater or some supporter snooping around here for information. You're too late, Mad-Eye already cleaned all the important stuff out. I don't trust you. You just show up and sneak around, and yet I don't know who these connections you have to even know of this place. Was it Snape?" He would kill Snape if he got the chance, the traitor. "I seriously doubt you would be snooping just to prove to your family you're worthy, unless it's Death Eater related." Now he was a bit paranoid, but with good cause because this used to be the Order Headquarters and with Dumbledore gone, well everyone was in danger.

As her wand went flying, Marietta shouted, "HEY! THAT WAND IS FRAGILE!!" why was it always her? She took a deep breath, "I don't care if you don't trust me, I knew this house was owned by Death Eaters thanks to a guy who is now dead. And I never spoke to Snape, he scared me as a teacher and he kept being mean.." She was going to scream, "ME NAME IS MARIETTA LIVEN! IF YOU KEEP POINTING THAT AT ME I WILL I HAVE ME SISTER IN HERE WITHIN THE NEXT HALF HOUR!" There it was, she snapped, "I am the youngest of my family, I'm Irish and Prussian. Get it confused with German and me mum will have your head. I'm a Hufflepuff fourth year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Anything else you need to know old man?" Wow, she really needed to get some help for that anger.

Wait, did she have her facts all wrong or something? Death Eaters didn't own this house. Just because there was a chance they could pay a visit didn't mean anything. Harry owned this house, Sirius left it to him. This little girl had her facts screwed up. Remus kept his wand on her, walking over and picking up her wand.
"I'll keep it safe," Remus said carefully not raising his voice, "If yoi have nothing to hide then you don't need to get such a temper, Marietta, I believe you said your name was. Why do you say this house is owned by Death Eaters? Even after Dumbledore's death the possesion of this house did not change. I do not take kindly to threats of any kind, Marietta, and I would excercise restraint if I were you."

Marietta took a deep breath. How long was it going to take for all this crap to end? She sat on a couch. "Look! All the information I was given was that this house used to be owned by Death Eaters. So I, a girl who has an Irish temper, came to check it out. I wanted to find anything that could be used against Death Eaters for the upcoming war! I know I'm not the only one who knows this is the Calm Before the Storm." She scowled, "Look old man, I was raised to keep my temper bottled inside. If I need to give you any information on anything else, I'm sure you can pick at my brain. I have quite a clear memory. I can tell you everything I've ever seen." She crossed her legs and took off her hood, "I really want my wand back, I need it.. me sister will be really angry if I don't have that. She has a worse temper than yours truely.."

Remus shook his head at the request of her wand. "Not until I am sure uou are telling the truth. If you are, I'll give it back in due time." Some might say he was acting rash, but even the kids could be used against them, heck look at the Vietnam War, there were kid soldiers used. Voldemort could try the same thing.
"Since you have given you name, I probably should give you mine. Plus, I don't like the name 'old man'. My name is Remus Lupin. This house belongs to Harry Potter, previously it was Sirius Black's. I am sure you know of Sirius' innocence and wasn't a Death Eater. The last and only Death Eater to own this place was Regulus Black, but he wasn't much of a Death Eater as he died not long aftrr becoming one. So I am sorry, but you won't find any Death Eater information. However, if you can get in here you must know of the Order, however none of the Order information is here."
Remus slowly approached the girl, handing her her wand back. "Don't try anything funny, or I will defend myself."

"What did I do to you to get my wand taken away? I really don't think I did anything except snoop around and look for something in Mr. Regulus Black's room." Marietta rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm a transfer, Dumbledore is the reason I'm in this country."
"Well, if you don't like the name old man, I guess I'm going to have to call you Mr. Lupin." she shook her head, "And I really don't like it when people who have scratches on their face point wands at me. If you clearly remember, like I do, the Black family was a long line of Death Eaters who are related to the Lestranges, and the Malfoys. I just so happened to be trying to find something to prove that me sister should not be trying to hook up with someone that may be a part of them." She crossed her arms and stood. She caught her wand and put it back in her boot. "Do I look like the kind that would try something funny?"

"Just because you are a transfer doesn't mean you can be trusted. Dumbledore has bee wrong in choosing those to trust. It cost him his life, so don't think just because you are a transfer I will just trust you. Pulling out your wand was reason enough to take it." It could be viewed as a threatening move so he took it that way. "Were you looking for anything specific in Regulus' room?"
"None of the Lestranges nor Malfoy have lived in here after becoming a Death Eaters. Marietta, you have your facts wrong if you think the Blacks came from a long line of Death Eaters. Before Regulus' and Sirius' parents there weren't Death Eaters. Voldemort isn't that old. And their parents were not Death Eaters. If you mean most Blacks were pure blood supremacists, then yes, you would be right."

Tonks opened the door to Number 12 Grimmauld Place and heard yelling. Yelling? Who was here? She heard a girl and-was that Remus' voice she heard as well? She pulled out her wand and moved looked around. Where were the voices coming from? Why was one of them yelling? And why are they arguing? She tripped again and got up, "What is wrong with me?" she said standing back up.
She figured out where the voices were and put her wand back in her pocket. She walked in with her hands on her forehead, and her brow furrowed, "Are you seriously arguing with a little girl?" She jestured to the girl when she asked. "Remus, do I really want to know why she's sitting at wand point?" She didn't notice anything else about the room, she just saw a girl and her fiance glaring at each other.

Nymphadora had come in right as he was questioning her. What a scene to enter in on! However Remus kept his eyes on Marietta, glancing over at Dora for a few moments as he spoke the next words he spoke. "She snuck up on me and then she pulled her wand on me, Dora. I was just questioning her to see what she was up to."
He was glaring at Marietta, still not trusting her. First of all, who were her sources who told her of this place? And why was she snooping in Regulus' room? Maybe they should search the place to see if she took anything.
