Making Peace, Old Friend [Order?/open]

[Remus John Lupin]

"It's just that they came suddenly with a whole wave of other kids, and they don't have that American Accent," Remus sighed, "It just... I don't know. I just have a feeling each time that I say it... And if you were to go back in time, I doubt you would tell your parents you were their daughter from the future... I just... I don't know." It was so ridiculous, but it felt right. He just didn't know why he had this weird feeling. It was just like why he felt he could trust Teddy and Sophie so readily, not even doubting they were related to him.

"No, no it's ok. I just wasn't sure if you wanted to lose to me in chess," Remus said shaking his head with a huge smile, thinking 'Oh well... I guess we'll have to wait until the honeymoon.'

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"Well, maybe they grew up hearing a british accent." Tonks suggested, "Well I don't think I would like to anyway, remember, Bellatrix and Narcissa are my mums sisters? But we can ask them if you want, it's all up to you. I don't mind." She shrugged. If he had a suspicion he might as well ask one of them. "Sophie might be the easiest to get an answer out of... Teddy might be able to expell the equestion and lie."

"You think you can beat me?" Tonks smirked, "Because I deffinitly can't cause a distraction.." she smiled and rolled her eyes. She headed for the stairs, "Would there be one in Sirius' room?" she asked not expecting an answer.

[Remus John Lupin]

"I suppose they could have," Remus said, "Well, not only that you wouldn't want to mess up history and ruin your parents marriage." He knew he wouldn't want to do that either. However, as he thought about it, it seemed so ridiculous. "Yeah, Sophie is probably our best bet beacause heading most likely good smooth talk is way out."

"Of course, Nymphadora," Remus said with a smug smile, "I bet I'll be to you within 20 moves. I always beat Sirius whenever I convinced him to play a game with me." Remus thought about their last game together, remembering they had done it in Sirius' room. He didn't think it would've moved since then. "Actually, there might be 1 in there because the last time we played together, me and Sirius, I mean, we left the board in his room."

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"If I did that I would've never been born and you'd be here right now with out me playing chess by yourself." Tonks nodded, "But if she married a pureblood, Kreatcher would listen to me... So many things to think about.." she shrugged. But she couldn't do that.. it'd be like comitting suicide. "Well I guess later we'll have to make a house call huh?"

She tensed, "Don't. Call. Me. Nymphadora." and her hair flashed fire red. "You know, I did beat the best student in my year when I was in my...sixth...year..." She stood on the stairs and looked down at him, "20 moves?" she chuckled. "Lets make a bet, whomever wins gets to pick the next activity before dinner." She continued up the stairs, "Alright, let's go get the board and pieces.."

[Remus John Lupin]

"Exactly, and I would be very lonely," Remus replied with a small grin, "Well if she had married a pureblood, you could've been a guy, or maybe not even a Metamorphagus." If her parents had never gotten together she'd never exist as he knew her and he would be without the love of his life. "I suppose we will." It was just so many things that weren't adding up. That girl he had encountered he didn't trust, and he highly doubted she was an American,though she did have the arrogance of one.

"Sounds like a deal," Remus said with a small laugh. Don't let your mind go dirty again, Remus, That'd just be bad... And embarassing. "I'll have to try harder to not use your beautiful name, Nymphadora." Now he was just teasing her about it.

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"I could be gay if I was a guy.." Tonks chuckled, now that was a thought. Who could see her like that? It would be so wrong too. "You do know where her and Teddy are staying right? Because I haven't been to their place." She kept walking up the stairs.

"Alright let's go, my furry fiance." she chuckled. She started walking backward. She raised her eyebrow, "You know how I feel about my name... You'd feel the same way if your mother gave you a name that sounds like a nymph named Dora. I would never want a child of mine to have that horrible of a name.."

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus looked off to the side trying to picture Tonks as a gay guy. He made a face that said 'What the heck?. "That's an odd picture. Though I'd turn gay for you," Remus noted, before nodding at her question, "The Leaky Cauldron. That's where I met Sophie, and we went up to her room." Ok, he really had to keep things from sounding dirty to a dirty mind. It was hard though. Not again... Why did he have to get these dirty thoughts now?

"You might not want to do that," Remus noted, "You might get hurt." He supposed he could see what she was meaning. Though, take a look at his name; Remus was the name of one of the founding twins of Rome, who, he was pretty sure lost. And when hus parents named him that, they doubted he'd become a werewolf, and the twins of Rome were raised by wolves... "I'm sorry, Dora. It's a pretty name, unique and colorful, just like you."

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"You're sweet.. but that might just be a little bit more awkward than normal." Tonks chuckled holding her hands up in front of her. "Okay, so we're going to the Leaky Cauldron after this.. and should I ask what went on in Teddy and Sophie's room?" she raised her eyebrows with a smirk meaning she just wanted to mess with him.

"Oh well, I get hurt just by walking right anyway." she shrugged, "Not like there's any difference." she ran into a wall when turning a corner, "Well atleast I didn't hit my nose.." She smiled, "It is very unique and colorful like me but it doesn't suit me. Well it does but I'd rather be named Lenobia, it's ancient sounding and cool."

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus had no comment on that first part. It was actually humorous that somehow they had gone from a ridiculous suggestion (though he didn't really feel it was that ridiculous when he thought it but when he heard it, it sounded stupid), to Tonks being a gay man. Very, very awkward. "Oh well... Er," Remus replied nervously to her question, before he realized he was just screwing around with him, "We just talked, and I discovered she was famiky." He just realized how bad it sounds for him to enter the rooom of someone he just met.

"Careful," Remus said when she hut her head, "You don't want to give yourself a concussion, Dora." Remus smiled when she told him she'd prefer Lenobia over Nymphadora, "Would you prefer me to call you Lenobia, then dear?"

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"Great way to figure out who your family is." Tonks laughed. She really was just joking about it. "I was only Joking hon'. Sophie's too nice a girl to try anything anyway." she laughed. She stepped away from the wall rubbing the back of her head. It didn't hurt that much, but it slightly stung.

"I'm good, I'm good.." she said, "Didn't really hurt it was more of suprise than anything." She shrugged. She shook her head at the mention of him called her Lenobia, it was a nice name and she liked it better than Nymphadora but she would hardly know who he was talking to, "No, I'd get confused.. But it's not hard to confuse me..."

[Remus John Lupin]

"Plus, wouldn't it be awkward since we are related," Remus noted. Just the awkward thought of them... God, get that image away. That was something not easily forgotten with how awkward it seemed. Sure they were semi-distant cousins, and she was fairly attractive, but.... Just no. It was a very awkward thought.

"Just make sure you keep that beautiful head of yours safe... I wouldn't want to see you hurt," Remus said with a small smile. A world without Nymphadora was a world not worth living in. "Then I'll stick with Dora."

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"That'd be very awkward... Subject change!" Tonks said. She was getting weirded out. "We have a game board and pieces to find! Let's get to that!" she bit her thumb nail and walked into Sirius' room. "Any clue where you guys left the board?"

"I'll keep it safe, it'll be under a veil soon anyway... My mother will insist I wear her's when I till her." she shook her head. She loved her mother but Andromeda was a bit contolling sometimes. "Wise idea." she kissed his cheek. and started to look around.

[Remus John Lupin]

"Well..." Remus began, "We played on a folding table, but I bet Sirius placed it elsewhere when he used the table to play poker that one day..." It was the day before he died he, and a few others came up here and played poker. Sirius won. Though Remus accused him of cheating. That was one of the last things he had said to Sirius. "If I know Sirius, he probably just shoved it under something, like his bed."

"As long as you as there, I will be the happiest man in the world," Remus said, though he was extremely nervous about getting married. It was just all so amazing and scary. Remus began walking towards the bed, but had an idea, pulling his wand out, "Accio Chess Set!" Out from under the bed flew the chess board and the pieces came from all around the room, out of drawers, under thr dresser, under the pillows, under the mattress, and one even flew from the nearby bathroom. "We was quite a disorganized person."

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

"Well then..." Tonks shrugged, "Where will we play? The floor, the kitchen, or the livining room?" She asked putting her hands on her hips, and standing up straighter. She smiled and waitied for his answer. "Blimey, he sure wasn't the most organized! Just like my dad, can't have anything organized to save his life. Ooh, that was something bad to say." she said realizing what she'd said after she'd said it.

"You'll still have to be held in one spot. I'll have to take a chill pill to keep from skipping down the asile." She laughed at the thought of that. "Actually I might pay to see something like that.." she nodded. "I wonder when the next meeting will be, we have to discuss Harry's movement."

[Remus John Lupin]

"Wherever your heart desires, but if I were to choose," Remus said doing a mental eenie, meenie, minie, moe, "I say the living room." Remus bit his lip when she said that, but laughed anways. "Oh no, it's ok, really. He really couldn't be organized to save his life. Sirius probably would have found it funny and howled with laughter." He remembered his one sided conversation with Sirius earlier, if you could call it that. He was really just giving himself closure on Sirius' death.

"I'll be luck to be standing still. Just you wait, I'll be held down by several people so I don't move, or something," Remus said with a chuckle. The reality of getting.married scared him, but he kept soldiering on. Hey Padfoot, he's actually facing his fears, he's finally being brave! "Yes, there should be a meeting soon. Mad-Eye will send a patronus when it's time."
