Homecoming from Hogwarts

Looking at Remus' beaming face, Amosta opened his mouth slightly in surprise and blinked.

marry
The word popped into Amosita's mind, confusing him for a moment.

This was not a particularly big deal, but it made Amosta feel very unfamiliar.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have never attended anyone's wedding since he came into this world.

He had studied at Hogwarts for seven full years, and his Slytherin classmates had indeed reached the age to start a family and build a career.

But so far, Amosta has not received a single wedding invitation.

First of all, he didn't have a good relationship with his classmates when he was in school.

Secondly, given his current status in the magic world and the things he has done.

Those classmates who came from prominent families were probably the most resentful, and the rest were probably worried that he would bear a grudge against them for their ridicule and sarcasm towards him in the past, because of his current fame.

And he himself has always been alone.

The word "marriage" gave him a feeling of being so far away.

Looking at Remus who was eagerly waiting for him to say something, Amosta suppressed his surprised expression, came back to his senses and smiled sincerely.

"Oh, congratulations, Remus. So, who is it with? I'm a little confused!"

Amosta patted his head.

"Tonks?"

Remus' face showed a happy and shy smile that Amosta had never seen before. He nodded.
"Yes."

"I believe you can create a happy family."

Amosta said with a smile.

"Tonks and I think so too—"

Remus' bright smile was a little more shy.
"We didn't plan to do it so hastily, but, how should I put it?"

Under Amosta's curious gaze, Remus scratched his red cheek.

"Tonks is pregnant."

Amosta, who was sipping tea from the cup in a trance, almost spit out a mouthful of water.

"What Tonks, ahem, oh this is really... double happiness!"

Realizing that his reaction made Remus even more embarrassed, Amosta quickly straightened his expression.

"Speaking of which, Sirius should know this. But when I met him, he didn't say a word?"

"Oh, that's what I asked him not to say."

Remus looked at Amosta with a smile.

"I told him that I wish I could tell you in person. After all, it's all your credit!"

Seeing Amosta's subtle expression, Remus was confused for a moment before reacting, his expression showing a bit of embarrassment.

"I mean, it's you who gave me the confidence and courage, and the life I have today. You made me dare to pursue all this!"

Cough cough--
Amosta coughed twice.
"Yes, that's right, I mean--"

Taking a breath, Amosta smiled sincerely.

"Don't say that, Remus, I think you helped me a lot.

You are better than anyone else, but you have not been treated fairly in the past."

"Anyway--"

Remus smiled again.

"You gave me the opportunity, so I think I should invite you to my wedding with Tonks in person."

"That's certainly no problem, Remus."

Amosta accepted with pleasure.

"--Also, Tonks made a suggestion that I think is a good idea--"

Remus looked at Amosta with burning eyes, his expression slightly expectant.
"Tonks would like you to be godfather to our child. Would you be willing, Amosta?"

Become godfather to Remus and Tonks' child?

Amosta blinked, and the subtle feeling in his heart became even more intense.

Like Sirius and Harry?
Inexplicably, a sense of responsibility was added to his shoulders, making Amosta, who was used to seeing countless big scenes, a little nervous.

But Remus seemed even more nervous than he was. "Wouldn't you, Amosta?"

Remus pursed his lips and asked cautiously.

"Oh, of course not. I just--"

Amosta paused and smiled.
"I just feel that the surprise came a little too suddenly!"

"Yes!"

Remus breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled.

"Everything happened faster than we thought. When I suddenly found out that Tonks was pregnant, I was stunned for almost a quarter of an hour!"

The gloomy kitchen became bright because of the good news brought by Remus.

The two people sitting at the dining table looked at each other, both with emotion on their faces.

Three or four years ago, the impoverished Remus was still making a living by selling herbs in the underground world of Fandao Alley.

In order to hone his magical skills and make money at the same time, Amosta lived in the underground world and traveled around the world to witness the glory of various magical civilizations.

Who would have thought that after three or four years, everything would be so different.

If Dumbledore hadn't lured him back to Hogwarts with a mission.
Amosta sighed.

He would rather be a 'Ranger' running around the world than a prestigious position like the Headmaster of Hogwarts or the President of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Every choice you make in life will lead you to a completely different situation. Perhaps there is no difference between high and low, but the scenery along the way is beautiful in its own way.

However, looking at Remus who also had a sentimental look on his face.

Invisibly, he did change the fate of many people.

"How are you and Tonks planning your wedding?"

After a long moment, Amosta asked with a smile.

"Oh, we're planning to hold the wedding at Tonks's parents' house in two weeks. Considering the current situation, we're only inviting some of our respective friends--"

Remus said,

"Tonks's father and mother have also invited some relatives. We plan to live in Tonks's home after the wedding—"

When Remus mentioned this, guilt flickered in his eyes.

"Tonks and I are both very busy, Ted and Andromeda can help us look after the children--"

Amosta nodded slightly.

He knew very well how difficult it was for Remus to have a family, and he definitely wanted to spend more time with his family.

“It will be fine—”

Amosta smiled understandingly.

"It won't take long for everything to get back on track, and when that happens, the burden on us will be lighter--"

"I also believe that the future will be better—"

Remus nodded and said, then he looked at Amosta and laughed,
"Because Sirius is a little unhappy about inviting you to be the godfather of my and Tonks's child--"

"Because I stole his thunder?"

"Oh, haha, that's not the case. He seems to hope that if he has a child one day, you can become the godfather of his child—"

Remus said.

"I thought he would be single--"

Amosta also shook his head and laughed.

"He should at least find himself a girlfriend first."

Well.
Remus pursed his lips and looked away.

Should he keep quiet for now about the burgeoning relationship between Sirius and Amelia?

"One more thing, Amosta, about the child's name."

After hesitating for a while, Remus was about to ask Amosstar if it would be appropriate to call Tonks Amosstar Lupin if the baby was a boy, but he saw Amosstar's face suddenly changed, he raised his right hand to stop Remus from speaking, and pointed his eyes towards the stove.

"Principal Dumbledore wants it, not——"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant fire suddenly exploded in the void in front of the stove. In the fire, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out.
"Severus, is that you?"

Remus stood up and asked in surprise. (End of this chapter)
