"I think that Melinda, no matter how she comes about, is going to be quite the surprise for your parents. She is one of the best in her field, perhaps one of the few people specialized in this sort of work outside of St. Mungo's and the hospital over in the States, but she comes at the cost of your parents having to deal with someone very much like them and yet as unlike them as possible." He shook his head, looking amused about it.

"Eat up, get some rest, and we can talk in the morning. About.. what happened, about Melinda, whatever you need to. I promised to take care of getting Teddy ready for bed since she watched him while we were gone." Another of those somewhat awkward smiles as he nodded, giving Draco his privacy.

In the morning though, Remus was up early. More so not because he had wanted to be, but there were some bone deep aches keeping him up, so instead of constantly bothering Tonks with them, he had slipped from their bed and gone down to watch the sunrise. Most people didn't realize how much it affected his body, that the curse meant they couldn't heal him properly. Such the price of a curse. But it meant tea was ready and he was stretched out on the couch - watching television, actually - as he had done as a child with his mother.
