Nymphadora Tonks was sitting in the kitchen of Number 12 Grimmauld Place. She was on her own as the rest of the Order had gone to London to rescue some muggles from torture. Even Though Voldemort was dead, a few death eaters lived on in his memory. Mad-eye insisted that she stayed at head quarters because she was too young to die for a couple of ignorant death eaters.
And she was clumsy
"Bloody Mad-Eye. What does he know!?" She thought out loud. She kicked the pink umbrella that was leaning against the doorway. "Bloody Umbrella, always getting in my bloody way."
Remus Lupin had gone on the rescue mission. Mad-Eye tried to persuade him to stay at head quarters as it was full moon only 2 days ago.
"Oh! But No! Remus Lupin can think for himself! But 21 year old Nymphadora can't!" She kicked the doorway.
It was like being back at Hogwarts again. Do this…do that….
Lifes such a bitch…She thought to herself.
Tonks was asleep by the time the rest of the order returned. She had fallen asleep on the settee with a picture of Remus Lupin in her arms. She hated and envied that man so much.. She tried to convince herself that she doesn't love him. Everyday. Its just the moments she gets alone to herself she cries and spills her heart out to this picture of him.
Mad-Eye entered the living room and saw that Tonks was asleep. He left his partner in peace, but walked over to her and pulled the moth-eaten blanket over her shoulders. He noticed that she held a picture of Remus wrapped in her arms. He carefully removed it and placed it on the side table. Tonks reacted naturally and reached her arms out to search for the missing object which was once in her arms. She gave up and left her arms to droop over the side of the sofa. Mad-Eye Smiled and thought to himself, that's my Nymphodora. Deeply in Love with Remus, thinking no-one else has realised.
Mad-Eye emerged from the living room and walked down the corridor to the kitchen.
"How Is She?!" Mrs Weasley Said.
"She Uh..." He looked round the room and saw Remus in the Corner. Mad-Eye caught his eye, and Remus looked away, "She fell asleep crying again"
"Oh No, Do you think I should go and Wake her?"
"No No, she looks alright, I think," He motioned to Remus, and Remus left the room to see to Nymphodora.
Remus sat on the arm chair by the settee. He winced as he leaned back, the scars were deep this time. He not only attacked him self on full moon but got attacked by a stray wolf. He was also hit by the sectusempra spell midly that night. Though Mad-eye fixed him up pretty quick so there was no serious harm done. He moaned slightly as he relaxed.Sitting down always hurt more without a top on. Tonks eyes snapped open and she sat up with a frightened look on her face. Remus stood up and hissed in breath with pain. He walked over and bent down to Tonks height and balanced on his knees.
"Shhh...Its Only me..."
"I..I...I was just having a bad dream" She flushed slightly at this childish remark, but Remus just laughed quietly.
"Its Alrite Nymphadora..-"
"Dont Call Me Nymphadora!" He hair turned a bright orange colour.
"Woah! Even when your tired you can be narky. I was only trying to..."
"I'm Sorry," She flushed even more. Usually she didnt mind Remus Saying her name. Because it was Remus Saying it gently. It wasn't like Mad-Eye, or Kingsley shouting it.
"Its alright. I realised you were in a mood as soon as Mad-Eye told you that you couldnt join us on the mission,"
"I was not in a -!" Remus raised his eyebrows, "Okay, maybe I was.."
"You Need Rest-"
"I wasn't the one on the mission was I!?"
"Alright then. Mollys dying to see you, she's now making breakfast"
"Thanks Remus,"
Tonks stood up from the settee and walked towards the door, She took one last look back and noticed his deep scars on his back and gasped,
"Your-"
"Its Okay. Mad-eye sorted them out for me."
"Are you sure? They still look pretty-"
"Its Okay Tonks, Theres No need to Worry About Me"
"Oh But Remus, I do, I really Do,"
Tonks turned around and left the room. Leaving a very confused Remus Lupin Sitting on the floor.
