The dining room was in a mess the night before because of Dumbledore's birthday celebration. People were too tired and went to sleep before they could clean up.

Since Sirius sent Kreacher to Hogwarts, there were no House-elf to help them clean.

Ultimately, all of this fell on Dumbledore was the first to arrive the next day.

It's also a disadvantage for older people to sleep less.

However, Dumbledore's domestic magic skills are at least quite good, which is certainly commendable.

Kayson was arguably the last one to get up, no, he was the third to last.

However, what truly baffled him was...

"Why are you two sharing a room?" Kayson asked, looking bewildered, as Lupin and Tonks walked out of the next room through a door.

Lupin felt as if ants were crawling all over his body. However, because there were other people watching, he didn't rub against them like a monkey. Nevertheless, he still moved awkwardly, his hands clenched into fists to cover his mouth, and a strange color appeared on his face.

He was like a damn scholar.

Tonks, on the other hand, was much more composed. She looked at Lupin and then at Kayson: "You didn't know?"

Kayson opened his mouth slightly. "What should I know? Nobody told me."

Tonks then turned her attention to Lupin: "Why didn't Kayson know? Didn't you promise me you'd tell them?"

"Wait, wait, wait, what I'm really curious about now is what the hell your relationship is!" Kayson said.

Lupin: "Couples."

Tonks: "Husband and wife."

Tonks frowned and looked at Lupin: "Didn't we say we were getting married? I even put on my engagement ring!"

"The problem is, now doesn't seem like the right time for a wedding. It should be after we've completely killed Voldemort," Lupin argued.

"You two are like old generals with flags planted all over your backs right now," Kayson commented quietly.

"What do you mean?" Lupin asked.

"It's just that you haven't read any literary works or novels. Every couple who encounters a crisis will say, 'Wait for me to come, wait until it's safe, wait until this relationship is over, wait until I retire from this life, then we'll come and get married.' But one of them ends up dying out there," Kayson said with a shrug.

"I don't think we should be that unlucky," Lupin replied, stroking his chin.

"Hmm, it's also possible that both hands could die completely," Kayson explained.

"So how long are you planning to drag this out? I get the feeling you're just a coward," Tonks asked, hands on his hips.

"Mainly...you should step aside for a moment, I need to talk to Kayson," Lupin said in a low voice.

"Ward? You had something to say, why didn't you tell your wife or Kayson?" Tonks said angrily.

"Ahem, it's a secret, a secret that's hard to tell," Lupin said, trying to cover it up.

Tonks was even more confused. "No? You're pretty amazing, aren't you?"

"Not in that aspect." Lupin awkwardly shoved Tonks back into his room, then pulled Kayson into Kayson's room and cast a Silencing Charm.

Kayson looked Lupin up and down. "So? I still don't know what your unspeakable secret is... infertility?"

"If it's not that aspect, can't you be serious for once?" Lupin looked at Kayson speechlessly.

"OK, OK, go ahead and say it."

"You just raised the question: what will happen to Tonks if I die after we get married? If I die before we get married, she can sleep it off, have a few drinks, forget about me, and start a new life. But if I die after we get married, she'll be a widow."

"Actually, that's not so bad. At least she's still a martyr's widow. But if I hadn't died, and I had become some kind of cripple, madwoman, mentally ill person, or cursed monster, would you really have let her spend her remaining years with me? That wouldn't be fair."

Lupin said in a low voice.

Kayson glanced at Lupin and pursed his lips. "You really have a rich inner monologue."

"Well... I was just overthinking it."

thump thump thump...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the glass in Kayson's room. Everyone looked over and saw Sirius waving at them with a small glass scraper.

Kayson and Lupin exchanged a glance and looked at Sirius.

"What's the matter?" Lupin asked.

Sirius stroked his chin. "If you're worried that Tonks won't come out after you die, you don't need to worry at all. After all, I'm both literate and handsome. If you die, I'll help you pry Tonks out, and I guarantee she won't remember you."

Lupin nodded, then pulled out his wand and pointed it at Sirius: " Cruciatus Curse!"

Although Lupin only used the Cruciatus Curse for a moment, it still made Sirius suffer so much pain that he was thrown into freefall and attacked the grass at the same speed.

"Can't you assess the situation properly? We've forced Voldemort to come up with a plan to kill four Tom. Can't you have even a little bit of a positive attitude towards the potential annihilation of the Death Eater?" Kayson said, utterly exasperated.

"Yes, and to be honest, maybe you could consider my proposal." Sirius limped up the stairs and finally pushed the door open as he spoke.

"If I remember correctly, Tonks is related to you." Lupin looked at Sirius with disdain.

"This is an old European tradition."

Kayson delivered a deliberate, powerful punch, sending Sirius flying out the window once again.

Kayson straightened his collar. "Let's talk about your and Tonks ' wedding arrangements. Because of the current situation, we won't be having a big celebration. But what about your parents and Tonks ' parents? Give me their addresses."

Lupin subtly sensed a sense of tension, and also a hint of coercion.

He's a real man, the bravest man in all of Hogwarts and Black family manor! Will he be forced by Kayson?

"I need to tell you something... Tonks just told me that she seems to be... pregnant."

"I agree to the marriage. I'll write to my father right now." Lupin immediately turned to the desk without the slightest delay.
