“Are you okay buddy?” Sirius asked Remus with a mocking smirk and the part werewolf just rolled his eyes.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Asked Remus with a raised brow.
“Well, it only took Harry to appear here to steal your ex-wife away from you,” Sirius added as he drank.
“He didn’t steal him away from me, you can’t lose a person if they’re not yours…It’s just that…It’s so strange to her smiling like that…She never did when she was with me, but it's fine it's not like they're fucking or something like that,” the man said in a surprisingly calm tone as he drank from his glass.
“People rarely smile when they’re around you to be fair,” Sirius mocked his friend once again. “So, do you regret your decision to end your marriage?” Asked the man with the long hair with a tone full of curiosity.
“Not at all…She’s an incredible person but our relationship didn’t make sense, I’ve worked on my self-esteem these past years and I can tell you that ending our marriage was a great decision for both of us,” Remus said with satisfaction.
It’s strange because some would think that he would be jealous the moment his ex-wife decided to move on, and even if she was just dancing with Harry, he wouldn’t mind if they pursued something else, after all, the woman has dated other people ever since their marriage ended and there have been no grudges nor bitterness, she has even tried to introduce him with some women from the ministry but of course, he feels happy alone by his own.
“I’m glad you say that, considering that you’re always bitter I was getting a little worried you might want to attack Harry…They’re just dancing after all,” Sirius said relieved and that gained him a little push from Remus.
“I don’t know what image you have of me but I would never do that…Well, not during these days,” Remus said with a weak smile on his face.
“Come on Sirius, leave him alone, you’re like Harry and Nymphadora are eating snogging, or something like that, they’re just good friends reconnecting after so many years,” Lily suddenly said as walked alongside her husband.
“I don’t know Lils, not so long ago he wanted to marry her in the future,” James revealed and Lily just rolled her eyes.
“James…He was eleven back then, of course, he would want to marry any cool older witch he would meet,” Lily couldn’t help but laugh at her husband’s nonsensical evidence.
“I never thought Harry could be so good at dancing,” Henry joined his family now as they watched Harry who was completely lost while he was dancing with Nymphadora.
“You should learn from him though…Come on Henry, I want to dance too!” A red-haired woman who was holding Henry’s arm said.
“Wait, Ginny…This spectacle is much better than anything else, watching my brother acting like that with a woman is like watching the Hogwarts’ lake squid on the surface…It’s an event of a lifetime!” Henry said with a nervous tone trying to mask his unwillingness to dance with his interest in his brother’s activities.
“I think Harry wants to follow Remus's path, he wants to be alone and I already got used to the idea of him not bringing anyone home, so, I can’t imagine Harry dating at all,” Lily sighed with a soft smile on her face.
Even though she wanted her son to have a normal life, she was going to support him regardless of what he wanted to do with his life.
“Hey everyone…Why aren’t you dancing?” Asked Harry with a tired tone as he joined them, he was still holding Nymphadora’s hand and that caught everyone’s attention.
“Oh that was fun,” Tonks said with a huge smile. “I need to use the restroom, I’ll get back soon, okay?” Tonks told Harry as she caressed one of his cheeks and he nodded before she disappeared.
Harry couldn’t help but smirk as he stared at the older witch moving away and he couldn’t help but stare at her rear as she disappeared, her hip movement was so mesmerizing but then he realized what he was doing, but he wasn't the only one, his whole family was staring at him completely surprised by his new attitude.
“What?” Harry asked with a confused tone.
“Nothing, nothing…It’s just that…It’s weird seeing you acting like that with a woman, that’s it,” that's typical of Henry, his brother he never hesitates to tell the truth and Harry couldn't help but chuckle.
“She’s not a woman…She’s Tonks!” Harry said with a funny tone and then he realized what he was implying. “You guys know what I mean, I don’t deny that she’s a stunning and amazing woman what I’m trying to say is that she’s not some random woman…She’s just too close to me to see her in a different light,” Harry explained and the rest of the people there had a hard time believing he was being honest, after all, the way he was staring at her rear wasn’t the way you usually stare at a close person's rear.
“That’s great Harry…I sure don’t recommend you to hook up with my cousin…She’s too scary sometimes, right Remus?” Asked Sirius to his old friend.
“I have the right to remain silent and I’ll use that right, thank you,” Remus answered with a nervous tone, the last thing he wanted was for Tonks to somehow hear this conversation and release her wrath on him because of Sirius' large tongue.
“Don’t worry mate, your silence is more than enough,” the long-haired man was a little worried about Harry’s romantic problems.
Sirius is not the best when it comes to relationships, but he has a little experience, more than Harry’s parents as they dated fewer people than him, so, he was worried that Harry could be getting into something that would be too much for him, Nymphadora was just too much for the average wizard.
“See, that’s why your ex-wife tried to kill you, you don’t know when to shut your mouth sometimes,” Remus mocked his friend before he grabbed a glass of champagne and moved to the dance floor to find someone to dance with.
“That’s true but I’m not afraid to voice my thoughts, especially when Harry seems to be in danger right now,” Sirius's tone was making Harry worry while his parents and Henry just rolled their eyes.
“Oh, I think this conversation is getting weird…I think I’m in the mood for dancing,” Henry said and Ginny celebrated.
“Yeah, I think me too…Shall we dance Lils?” Asked James with a slight smile on his face and the red-haired woman accepted gladly.
“Well, I’m glad that they’re gone, now I can speak without being censored…Listen, Harry…There are so many witches out there and I’m sure you’re going to find the right one for you but for now, I think you need to be aware of Nymphadora…She’s wild, energetic, annoying, has constant mood changes, she’s jealous, and she’s a killer…Well, she’s an Auror, she has to kill at some point, and she won’t hesitate to do the same to you in the future Harry!” Sirius warned the younger man as he placed his hands on his shoulders and started to shake the emerald-eyed wizard’s body.
“Wow, that sounds like a very awful person…Do I know her?” Sirius’ eyes widened the moment he heard that voice.
“N-Nymphadora!?” Sirius asked with a scared tone.
“Why don’t you come here with me…There’s something I’d like you to do,” Tonks had a beautiful smile right now but even Harry knew that she wasn’t happy at all, she was containing herself. “Oh, Professor Trelawney, here!” Nymphadora called for someone.
Suddenly a woman with thick glasses who looked to be around Sirius’ age walked towards them, she was wearing a very weird orange dress and she was blushing the entire time.
“Oh…Hey Sirius,” Professor Trelawney said in an embarrassed tone.
“Hey, Uh, I guess I better—” Sirius couldn’t finish.
“Yes, now you can dance with her just like you wanted to, come on, don't be shy, don't worry your crazy cousin is here to help you with that!” Tonks said with her sweet devilish smile, Sirius was too scared to not do what she was ordering him to do and soon, he was already dancing with the woman on the other side of the room.
Professor Trelawney looked like the happiest person in the world while Sirius not only felt uncomfortable dancing with her but was also scared of Nymphadora's wrath, he tried his best to warn Harry, and he had zero regrets.
“Whoah, Professor Trelawney and Sirius, I never thought I would see them together, to be honest,” Harry told the purple-haired witch before he giggled happily for the older man, Harry was too clueless about what was really going on right now.
“Don’t worry, he was just too shy Harry, his shyness made him say some very stupid things,” the older witch said and Harry smiled.
It was easy to deceive him, due to his upbringing, Harry has a hard time catching the feelings of the people that surround him.
“So, Harry shall we continue dancing?” This time she was the one who extended her hand to invite him and he couldn’t help but nod and soon they were dancing again.
