Chapter 17 - 15) Family

As i was sitting on the chair, i Ruphuk's signal that the talk was successful. I had expected this since Andromeda and her husband were both very smart and perceptive. I steadied myself for the talk and waited for them.

Just then the door opened, I looked and saw a very beautiful lady wearing a yellow dress. Though she had aged but , time had seemed to make her more beautiful and now she was the perfect example of an elegant lady.

I could feel something twirl in my body, perhaps this was what other people called, blood is thicker than water.

I smiled and said,"Hello Aunt."

She smiled and immediately her eyes were reddened, i was startled she came up to me and hugged me. I was startled and my emotions swirled, in both my lives i had no one to call a family. This was a completely new experience for me. Though I knew I was guilty in my heart for Sirius, but I had no choice. No, perhaps I had a choice but what could I do. Change a man's loyalty from a man who he has worshipped for decades to his newly found nephew. Perhaps i was wrong but would i repent. No. It may have been wrong but i had made a descion and now i had to live with it.

I didn't know at the moment but my eyes were wet.

"Do you even know who I am?" I asked while chuckling.

"Of course, you must be Regulus's child. He had told me about his lover. We met and i was the one who informed him that she was pregnant." She said, but i had heard that she was killed and after some time news of Regulus's death came. I don't know how you survived.

I was amazed at her perceptiveness. She then asked me the biggest question. "How are you alive."

I had already prepare the answer, and now was the time to use it. I separated from her and said:

" Greeting to you Mr. Tonks. Well this is going to be a very long answer, so you should both sit.

The man's stoic face had a smile as he pinched my cheeks,"Aren't you the gentleman. Sure, but call me Uncle." He said with a smile.

Both of them were now sitting and it was time for the answer. I was going to tell them everything but hiding the journal and attributing the ritual to death eaters. I started my explanation with a simple answer.

" Do you know of test tube babies," Mrs. Tonks was confused but Mr. Ted had a profound look on his face.

"Well, i was somewhat raised in a lab."

At this point both of them were horrified and were sad. I began telling them my explanation and thats how we spent the next few hours.
