A week later, Oliver had packed his things and moved into Celeste's manor. His parents were happy for him, even though they had believed their relationship was moving a little fast. They didn't argue that detail long though, since Mr. Wood had remembered that he and Mrs. Wood had moved in together about two months after they had graduated—granted, they had been together for almost a year during school.
Oliver had helped Celeste as much as he could, but they hadn't dated very long while they were in school. He had wished, but obviously he couldn't make it happen. Anyhow, the day Oliver moved in, Lupin commented that he was going to try and move out as soon as possible. Celeste argued that she liked having Lupin living with her, and that just because Oliver moved in, did not mean that he had to move out. Oliver helped by telling the man that he was happy to have him around, especially since Celeste hadn't gotten much attention, love, or affection from her family, but now she did with Lupin around.
At first, Celeste wasn't sure if Lupin would be happy with Oliver staying in her room with her, but Lupin was more than accepting. He had wished that he had a relationship like hers when he was younger, but his "furry little problem" kept him from having that type of relationship like he wanted. Also, he felt horrible for missing so much of Celeste's life, that he felt he needed to accept everything she did, because he didn't want to disappoint her and make her hate him.
Obviously, he didn't realize just how important he was to her—especially since her father wanted nothing to do with her. She hadn't actually spoken a word to the man in years, even after he escaped Azkaban. It seemed that he wanted to be wiped from the face of the Earth, as well as from Celeste's memory. Most people would want to see their child after thirteen years of never seeing them, but not Sirius. Sirius hadn't really seen much of Celeste when he wasn't in Azkaban, so being in Azkaban didn't change his attitude much, and being out of the horrid place only made him want to see his godson again; not his daughter.
"Next week, Mrs. Weasley invited us to the Burrow for lunch. I think the three of us should go before Oliver has to leave, and before I buy the shop. I think the twins will be able to help me brainstorm name ideas while I'm there." Celeste commented, as Sweeney placed food on the table for her, Lupin, and Oliver.
Sweeney wasn't treated like the house elves were in pureblood families. No, instead Sweeney was treated fairly, and like an equal. Sweeney loved working for Celeste, as well as Oliver and Lupin. The little house elf tried his best to make everyone happy, even though he knew Celeste, Oliver, and Lupin were some of the kindest people he had ever met. Even Narcissa—the one who had gotten him for Celeste's manor—hadn't been as kind as the three people who lived in the manor. Sweeney even has his very own room, and he loved it. The room was small, like he had asked for, but there were many different things inside of the room that were his, and he cherished it all.
"Do you think you should bring some of your chocolate by to advertise it before you open the shop?" Oliver asked, and Celeste nodded.
"That's a good idea," She replied,"Oh, and I have your mother's chocolate ready. Remind me to send it to her later today." She added, causing Oliver to smile.
After Oliver's parents had met Celeste, they absolutely adored the girl. Though she had been the only girl Oliver had ever brought home, they doubted they would've liked any other girl as they liked her. She had a heart of gold, and a face to match it. Mrs. Wood believed that Celeste was the perfect girl for her son. She thought Celeste was beautiful, kind, funny, hardworking, and an overall great person; and Mr. Wood thought the same, except he seemed to like her even more when he heard her talk about quidditch with as much fondness as Oliver.
Oliver had been worried about telling his parents he was moving in with Celeste, but after seeing how much they liked her, he wasn't as worried. Mr. and Mrs. Wood had even helped Oliver move into the manor. They had been very accepting to the fact that Lupin was living in the manor. They were one of the few families that didn't care about the news of Lupin's lycanthropy. They actually felt better about Oliver and Celeste living in the manor.
At first, the parents were worried about the two young adults living alone together; scared that something bad could happen to them without someone around to protect them. Yes, the Woods knew their son and Celeste were very smart and very good at magic, but having Lupin around helped ease their worry. They no longer had to be afraid that someone could show up and harm Oliver and Celeste.
Celeste had warding and protection up around her manor, but anything could happen to the most capable wizards and witches. Celeste's manor was safe from muggles, dark magic, dark wizards and witches, and some magical creatures and beings; such as dragons and ghosts. Celeste wasn't scared of ghosts, she just didn't like the idea of someone being in her room so easily without her knowing.
Anyhow, living together was going to be the biggest journey the couple were going to deal with, but Oliver leaving for different amounts of time would definitely put a strain on them. Celeste and Oliver were sure they'd make it through everything though. Almost anyone could see they were made for each other, and the couple were determined to prove just how perfect they were together. They refused to let anyone ruin their happiness...
