"What? I have less than Moony! No way!" Sirius called out jokingly getting another eye roll from Remus as the man shook his head.
"Mrs. Tonks has '6558' mana." Harry announced getting a nod from the woman and a grin.
"Mr. Tonks has '6306' mana." Harry said which got Ted a nudge from Andromeda while Sirius joked about who was in control of the marriage.
"Tonks currently has '4908' mana, you've gone up again." Harry commented getting a satisfied nod from Tonks.
"Looks like Nymphadora is going to catch up to you soon Andy!" Sirius chortled only to get an enraged Tonks with red hair and eyes yelling at him.
"Don't call me that!" Tonks growled at Sirius who only held his hands up in defense while chuckling.
"Nymphadora? So that's what the N in your initials stands for." Harry realized since Tonks refused to tell Harry her first name and he'd only managed to find out it started with an N.
"Don't you start using that name, mister!" Tonks threatened with her right index finger pointed at Harry. He nodded quickly knowing that Tonks wouldn't hesitate to hit him with her Wandless Stinging Hex.
"Oh Nymphadora is a perfectly nice name. I don't know why you dislike it so much." Andromeda sighed while Ted rubbed her back.
"You don't have to live with it!" Tonks grumbled as she pouted and played with the end of her Enchanted Scarf.
"I think it's pretty." Harry shrugged getting a smile from Andromeda while Tonks looked at him in shock and a dusting of pink overtook her cheeks.
"You hush, Harry!" Tonks demanded as she let a weak Stinging Hex leave her finger and hit his leg.
"Oi!" Harry whined as he rubbed the weak feeling on his leg. It went away fast enough but it was still annoying. It was only afterwards that the two realized that the room had gone completely silent.
"Nymphadora…honey…did you just use Wandless Magic?" Andromeda breathed out as she looked at her daughter. All the adults were staring at her in shock while she turned to Harry with a look of such remorse and apology on her face that it almost hurt Harry to see it.
"It's all right, Tonks, they're your family. You can tell them." Harry reassured her making all the adults look at him.
"Harry can use Wandless Magic and he taught me and Penny how." Tonks admitted getting stunned looks from the adults. After a moment Andromeda let out a muffled squeal of delight as she enveloped her daughter in a hug.
"My baby is so strong!" Andromeda praised as she held her daughter close and ran a hand through her daughter's ever changing hair. Ted beamed at his daughter while Remus and Sirius gave impressed congratulations.
"So Harry, are you going to let all of us in on your secret?" Sirius teased getting Harry to realize that his plans to make his Wandless Magic a Potter Family Secret might be much harder than he initially thought.
"No! This was Harry's discovery and he wants to keep it a Family Secret! Don't pester him!" Tonks practically growled at Sirius causing the man to once again raise his hands in defense. Especially since he now knew that she could hex him without a wand.
"Family Secret? A Potter Family Secret?" Andromeda questioned as she looked over at Harry who nodded shyly.
"Exactly, so please don't ask me to teach you, I made a promise I wouldn't." Tonks stated getting understanding nods form her parents.
"My little girl is getting betrothed! I'm so happy for you honey!" Andromeda smiled brightly as she pulled her daughter into a hug.
"What?!" Harry shouted startled.
"Mum!" Tonks cried out embarrassed as her hair rapidly shifted through colors.
"Good on you, Harry, Nymphadora is a great girl!" Sirius cheered while Remus looked back and forth between Harry and Tonks. Ted looked a little lost among everyone else.
"Can someone explain what's going on to me?" Harry asked confused getting a nod of agreement from Ted.
"You don't know?" Andromeda questioned still holding Tonks in a hug. When Harry shook his head Andromeda started to explain. "When an unwed Wizard or Witch offers a Family Secret to another Witch or Wizard it is considered the first part of starting a betrothal. A Family Secret offered is stating intent to bring the other person into your Family."
"Mum! Harry didn't mean it like that! He agreed to teach me and Penny to get familiar with teaching it, so that when he has children he'd know where to start." Tonks explained while Harry's face was as red as it had ever been from embarrassment.
"Oh, so he offered to teach you both? Nymphadora multiple marriages, while still legal, have fallen out of use in the last several generations. But if you three have it worked out I'm still happy for you." Andromeda smiled getting Tonks to sigh as her mother clearly wasn't listening.
"Mum, seriously, it's not like that." Tonks stated dully finally making Andromeda calm down a bit.
"Oh? That's too bad, are you sure? You'd have to wait a few years for Harry to reach Majority so he can get married of course; but I think you two would be good for each other." Andromeda stated as she released her daughter from the hug.
"She did offer marriage to me and Penny." Harry chuckled getting all the adults eyes to widen, especially Ted's. "But it's not right for her to chain herself to me when she has five years to find someone better for her."
"Hey, I think it's a good idea! You're the one being stubborn about it, mister!" Tonks retorted getting Harry to blush again. "Besides, Penny is totally on board even if she won't admit it yet!"
"Tonks you can't just decide for her." Harry replied with his hands raised in a placating gesture.
"I'm not; she's being stubborn about it just like you!" Tonks pouted. "The three of us could make it work, we like each other well enough. Besides you want a good sized family anyway."
