Remus turned as the music started and his jaw nearly dropped. Tonks looked absolutely gorgeous. Her appearance was that which she had shown Remus when they had first got engaged over a year ago, her white dress fitted her slim and curved form perfectly and swept out wide, the skirt twisting slightly as it fell gracefully to the floor. Sequined off the shoulder straps held the dress up and the main part was adorned with twisting blue flowers rising from the waist. There were a few occasions when Remus regretted letting her spend so much money on her wedding dress. Today was not one of them. Her hair was pinned up at the back with just a few of her ginger curls dropping to frame her face. She smiled sweetly as she saw his face obviously she had been hoping for him to react like that.

Slowly she walked down the aisle a grey haired green eyed man holding her arm. Ted Tonks, her father. Remus had only met him twice before but he thought he was a wonderful man, even if he was a muggle and had thrown things at him last time they came face to face. At this moment he was almost glowing with pride as he walked down the aisle to give his only daughter away. He smiled as the man stood next to Remus nudged his friend.

Sirius Black grinned and winked at him, considering most people had thought him dead for two years Sirius was more full of life now than he had been for years. Now he had been cleared of the charges of mass murder he was rarely inside a house, it meant that his face was well tanned, which was shocking considering he had been so pale before. His eyes weren't so sunken and even his hair seemed to have more life.

Remus returned his attention to the bride as she started up the steps of the altar. Ted, being a devout catholic, had insisted on a traditional catholic wedding, although they had persuaded him to hold it outside in the orchard. Remus walked down the steps and took Tonks from her father who grinned at him again and then led her up to where the priest was waiting. He heard Tonks sigh happily as the priest started the sermon.

The reception was being held at Hogwarts, outside in the grounds as most of the castle still consisted of rubble. Some of the guests sniffed every time they had to look at it, but they were glad they were here. At sunset everyone held a minutes silence for all those who had died in the attack, especially for Harry Potter who had been mortally wounded in the fight that had ended Voldemort's reign of terror as well as both their lives.

Tonks was stood with Remus chatting to Ted, Molly and Arthur. Arthur was quizzing Ted on various muggle items, Ted was laughing so hard he could barely answer. Tonks had to rescue him by releasing the brakes on Arthur's wheelchair and Remus gave him a nudge which sent him wheeling off through crowds of people. Ted just laughed more at that as Molly chased after her husband. Remus and Tonks joined him as Molly enlisted her sons to try and catch him.

"What's up with him?" Sirius asked staggering up, Remus sighed his friend was obviously drunk. He plucked the drink out of his friend's hand and handed it to Tonks who made it fly to a table for empty glasses. Ted raised his eyebrows at his daughter's magic. He was still recovering from the shock of being apparated to Hogsmede. He had complained loudly all the way up to the castle but he had been laughing at the same time so it wasn't too much of a problem.

"How many drinks have you had Sirius?" Remus asked his friend as he lurched forward, Remus caught him and with Ted's help he sat him down against a tree. Sirius just shrugged in reply, that meant he wasn't completely drunk as he still understood what was being said around him.

"You're not allowed anymore Sirius; you really don't want a hangover in the morning do you?" Tonks asked handing a glass of water to Remus who tried to make Sirius drink it. He failed and in the end just poured it over Sirius' head who yelled in shock. Everyone nearby started to laugh and Sirius went into a sulk. Remus and Tonks just left him there leading Ted over to meet other members of the Order.

"Hey Mr and Mrs Lupin, congratulations," Ron said coming up with Hermione, they were holding hands. Remus grinned at them and Tonks rested her head against her husband.

"Thanks, you two going out then?" Remus asked and they nodded, "took you long enough, I knew when you were in third year that you'd end up going out, you were always fighting, I guessed it would only be a matter of time, just like James and Lily," he laughed and Ron scowled.

"You could have told us that," Hermione replied laughing slightly, "would have saved us a lot of hassle,"

"Yeah, but would you have believed me?" he asked and Hermione shrugged, Ron finally gave in and laughed as well leaving the newly wed couple to enjoy themselves and to meet other people who had come to their wedding.

"Did you really know?" Tonks asked her husband and he shrugged.

"I might have done if I had thought about it, but I had other things on my mind that year, but they don't need to know that, I mean they fight so often they need all the help they can get," Remus laughed and kissed her.
