"Excuse me?"
"What!"
"Wow"
"You're so uncultured"
"I can't believe you don't know Sirius Black!"

Teddy looked surprised,frightened and confused.Remus decided he should intervene."Guys,calm down!Not everyone will know Sirius".Teddy looked close to tears.He ushered the other kids away and stooped down so he could be face to face with Teddy.

"Hey Teddy,it's okay you don't know Sirius.Not everyone knows everything."
Remus reassured him."How come everyone was teasing me when I asked?"Teddy replied.Remus quietly sighed."It's just because they all know people who know the same things as them."Teddy relaxed a bit."So people will still be friends with me?"
"Of course they will Teddy.I know you're new to this school.But I'm sure everyone will want to be friends with you."

Teddy smiled weakly.He stood up and wiped his dry tears."Thanks professor."Remus smiled back."Of course."The student and teacher nodded farewell,and parted ways.

.

The school bell rings as the student walk out.Remus packs up his things and leaves at the front after most of the students have left.He walks towards the sleek black car,as he sees a familiar face in the window.

"Hey babe!"Sirius yells out the window."At least it isn't in front of my students this time."Remus says softly."Yeah,how did that go anyways?Didn't get the chance to text you after."
"Well,all of the children gaped at me like I was a werewolf.At recess they all sat down in a circle and I had to answer questions for them.There was this one kid,Teddy Tonks,who didn't know who you were.He got all scared the kids weren't gonna like him anymore,but I talked to him and he was fine after."

"What's his name again?Eddy Tonks?"Sirius asked."Teddy Tonks" Remus corrected."Oh yeah.Well,I had this cousin named Andromeda,and when she married she changed her last named to Tonks.Had a kid and gave her the weirdest name.It was like,Nicodora or something.Maybe it could just be a coincidence".Sirius concluded."It probably is,yes".

.

As the couple gets out of the car,they talk about what should they,or should I say,Sirius,cook.They decided on roasted chicken with peas and mash potatoes,basically mini Thanksgiving.After dinner they lounge on the couch,Remus helping Sirius on which out of three videos he should post.

Remus and Sirius brush their teeth,and get into bed.Remus opens "Body,Mind and Soul" by Michael Kendrick and Sirius is on his iPad,scrolling through tumblr.An hour later,they put down their stuff and go to sleep,reassured a peaceful night as they hold each other in the warm,safe bed they share.
