Aries landed on the front garden of the Tonk's cottage. The lights were all off  except one, the fireplace in the living room, she could see the flames through the curtains.

She opened the door which creaked loudly, "Hello?" she called out.

She got nothing in response, she cautiously walked through the hallway, towards the living room, she walked in noticing the fire had been put out.

As she turned around she felt a grip on her collar, pushing her harshly against the wall, Remus stood in front of her holding his wand towards her face. "Who are you?"

"Remus, it's me! It's Aries!"

"No, Aries is dead. Who are you?!" he pressed harder against her chest.

She shook her head. "I'm not dead, I-I-"

"How did you find out I was a werewolf?"

"What-"

"Answer the question!" he shouted.

Aries stammered. "You told me! The- the boathouse, you told me at the boathouse after Regulus and I had an argument!"

Remus released his grip, his look softened as he wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly in a hug. "I thought you were dead." he whispered.

"I'm okay." she whispered back, an overwhelming wave of exhaustion came over her as soon as she knew she was safe she allowed herself to pass out in his arms.

Aries felt a hand stroke her head as she slept, she opened her eyes to see Angelika next to her.

"Angie?"

Angelika let out a sigh of relief, "You're awake! I swear to god, you are never leaving my sight ever again."

Aries attempted to sit up but her body was still very exhausted, she noticed Solo sleeping at the foot of her bed.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't move." Angelika stood up, Aries widened her eyes as she did. "Andy said you need to drink this- why are you staring at me?"

"Oh I dunno, maybe it's the baby bump, Angelika." she pointed towards Angelika's large stomach.

She looked down. "Oh shit, I found out after you went missing..."

"How long was I gone?" Aries asked.

"Just over seven months-"

"Seven months!"

Angelika nodded, "Tonks has already... She had a little boy. He's like her, a... metamagus...?"

"Metamorphmagus."

"That's it." Angelika nodded, she turned her head as the door opened and Chloe walked in with a pressed smile.

"You alright?" she asked.
