CELESTE was officially off the market, according to the school newspaper run by Collin Creevy. It was still winter break and there was a train back home for students that stayed for the Yule Ball.

So somehow Sirius found out from no doubt, the man of the hour, Harry James Potter which resulted in getting a letter from her godfather and uncle about 'the talk'. 

To say she was mortified was an understatement. She was also furious that Harry went blabbering over her relationship. 

"Isn't it too soon to meet your parents? Well, technically I did a while back. But as your girlfriend?"

"It's a big deal for them. I never had a girlfriend. Actually, I never really talked about any girls at my school before until I met you." Cedric flustered earning a wide grin from the Black. 

When the Hogwarts Express stopped Cedric was the first to step out and help Celeste like the gentlemen he is and the dramatic squeals coming from the two women afar was enough to get them embarrassed. 

There stood Andromeda Tonks waving at the kids and Ted Tonks looking ready to pounce on Cedric. But Celeste wasn't paying attention to her aunt and uncle, she was staring straight at Remus Lupin. 

Amos was nowhere to be seen but her guess was that he was working. But Sophia Diggory was there smiling at the two. 

The first thing they did when Celeste was at arm's length was embraced her with a tight hug. "Oh, you better tell me everything." Andromeda was prepared to have a girl's night with Nymphadora as well. 

"Aunt Andy you're embarrassing me." Celeste blushed, noticing how loud her voice was that some onlookers stopped to look at them. She gave a helpless look towards Ted who chuckled, "She's just so happy for you sweetheart, now excuse me while I go have a chat with the young lad."

Remus seemed onboard with that idea but wanted to great his goddaughter. He was next to give her a side hug and a kiss on her forehead, "You've been having quite the year haven't you?"

"You have no idea...Harry's being a dick."

"He gets that trait from his ─"

"Father, I know." Celeste retorted, "I just don't understand, he goes from ignoring me to acting like an idiot towards me. I'm allowed to date whoever I want."

Remus gave her a look, "Well when you put it like that..."

"Don't tell me you're going to chase him away," exclaimed Celeste, already knowing that there was a possibility that she'll lose her boyfriend judging by the way Ted was over there with Cedric right now giving her the talk. 

"I won't scare him that much...I'll just give him a warning or two, sweetheart." Remus chuckled.

Andromeda swatted his arm and gave him an exasperated expression, "Remus Lupin you better not think about scaring that poor boy away. He's always been sweet. Never did anything bad like you and Sirius' band of friends during your years in Hogwarts." 

"Now that's not fair, we were great students. The best, the coolest, ─"

"We get it," Celeste rolled her eyes. "Now can we go home yet?" she tried to distract Remus but to avail, he was already walking over there. 

"Cedric Diggory, a pleasure to see you again, now what are your intentions towards my goddaughter?" Remus went into instant guardian mode and Celeste didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry about the petrified look on his face.

"I'm not going to stand on this platform all day buddy, out with it." Ted Tonks demanded earning a bewildered face from Sophia. 

Celeste peered at her aunt to see her trying hard not to laugh at the whole ordeal with her husband and friend scaring the Hufflepuff boy. Sophia didn't seem like doing anything about it because she knew that they were just looking out for her.

"Ignore them, I'm so excited you are spending your first Christmas with us!" said Andromeda with joy that Celeste could've sworn she could see sunshine and flowers in the background. "Let's leave so I can get a head start on making cookies with you, I don't want Remus hogging you."

Andromeda apparates away with Celeste before she could even make out a word. 

"I'll treat her right I swear!" Cedric stated for the tenth time and realized that Celeste was no longer standing there. 

Sophia noticed this as well, "Where'd they go? Great Andy, just leave me with these man-children," she scoffed, referring to Ted and Remus. 

Ted turned around and gaped, "She left me?!"

"And took Celeste with I guess....don't tell me...." Remus was quick on his feet to apparate leaving Ted scowling and Cedric in shock. Sophia was grinning like a madwoman.
