ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Charlie

[alt_nymphadora]

All set for dinner tomorrow, Chuck.

Sirius and Remus have promised to be on their best behaviour as courteous hosts, and will attempt to keep Miss Bea from bursting into the library after dinner so we can have a spot of privacy with your mum. (Although given how things have been going with Miss Bea lately, that might be a small miracle. She's been a handful and a half. And has been off her potty training, which I thought we'd thoroughly managed by now.)

Kreacher is another loose cannon, but he's been rather angelic recently (compared to a certain young person, at least), but we'll keep an eye out just in case he decides to be the bearer of good tidings before their time.

I've been plugging away at my list, by the way. Can't wait to see yours.

You know.

This is just an out there thought, but Sirius has never really seemed all that happy to be a Black. And you're the last Tonks, and Remus is the last Lupin, and Bea has the last name of somebody who never existed, and somehow it just wouldn't seem right to call the Bap 'Weasley' even if he is one, and and and.

We're an odd sort of family, but we are a family, really, even if it's in multiple different configurations and connections. I almost wonder if Sirius and Remus would be interested in us all getting together and picking a last name for all of us together -- not instead of, but in addition to.

'Course, that'd mean the Bap would be up to seven or eight different names. But if we're going to be ridiculous, we might as well be thoroughly ridiculous. And it would mean having to come up with a name, but still.

It's silly, I know. But maybe I'll suggest it anyway.

You might be on to something there.

It's worth talking about, regardless.
