She got up and turned to the older men and asked "Why don't all of you join us for Ice Creams?" "As long as we pay for it." Said Sirius. They agreed and sat at a bigger table. Remus and Sirius told them about the adoption. The three of them congratulated the family. "So, this makes me your aunt. Welcome to the family, Alaya and Harry. You can call me Aunt Andy." Said Andromeda.

The twins nodded at this. The twins turned to Dora. "Tonks, when Sirius called you Nymphadora, your hair turned red. How did you do that?" asked Alaya shyly. Dora smiled at her and answered "I'm a Metamorphmagus. You can only be born one." She explained as the ice creams arrived on to their table. They had their ice creams quietly. After paying for their ice creams, Sirius asked Andy and Ted "Andy, Ted, I wanted to ask you something. I'll need your help with Alaya. I'm asking for your help as you already have a daughter. Would you mind moving in with us to the Chateau?"

Andromeda and Ted were surprised slightly. They looked at Dora, who was entertaining the twins with her metamorph abilities, and then looked at each other. After so many years of being together, they could actually convey messages with their eyes. "Yes Sirius. We'd love to move in. Give us a couple of days. We'll have to sort some stuff out." Said Ted and Andy nodded. "That's great. We'll see you in the Manor then?" asked the dog animagus. They older couple nodded and turned towards their daughter when Sirius called out "Harry, Alaya, time to go. We also have to go to Madame Malkins to get our robes." The twins groaned, but followed the orders. They went with their guardians after extracting a promise of meeting the Tonks family again.

BACK AT THE CHATEAU

The twins were really tired after what happened that day at Gringotts and just wanted to go back to sleep. They met their parents' and grandparents' portraits in the family room and wished them a good night before heading to bed.

Remus and Sirius thought about the course of events that happened throughout the day and smiled to themselves. They thought everything was going to be normal.

But that was so wrong.
