Forced to Turn
Summary: Lupin is trying to ignore Tonks; he doesn't believe he is the right man for her. Hurting her feelings is one thing but when she is kidnapped, and forced to turn sides….. It's a different story.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.
"Fred and George Weasley!!!" bellowed a bleach red Mrs. Weasley over the noise of her son's laughter. "Just because you learnt how to apparate doesn't mean you have to do it where ever you go!!"
"Lighten up mum; it's only a little fun" Fred grabbing his mother's left hand.
"Yea, you don't have to over do it, don't worry too much though; it's not like you've blown my ear drum out!" shouted George sarcastically taking her other free hand. And together they dragged their mother over to the food, in the hopes of calming her mood. Over by the fire in Grimmuald Place's little kitchen Remus Lupin had a smile tugging at his face, as he watched the twins and their mother. What ever was left of the smile vanished immediately as he looked back to the fire. Guilt threatened to consume him, as he thought about Tonks and the fight they had just had.
"Don't worry mate, she'll be fine about it" Sirius Black said lying on one of the ragged armchairs.
"Its not that I'm worried, it's just that….well" he fidgeted around and got to a more comfortable position on the rickety chair he was on. "You know what I mean Sirius, I'm too old for her, to poor, to dangerous, I've told her this but… "
"Well, maybe it's better for her and you to not be together; maybe you're supposed to be together. Who knows!!.." Sirius pulled his 'I'm trying to think' face, sitting up straight and mumbled " that's right… YOU!!!"
He slumped back on the lounge with a small thud.
"But that's the point, I don't know, I think I shouldn't have told her what I did-"
"Well, fix it if you want to be with her!"
"But, how I-"
"No, no, no, no don't tell me you don't know how, think with that intelligent brain of yours."
"But-"
"No buts-" Cut in Sirius sharply, he glared at Lupin growling with annoyance, "I don't want my little cousin being hurt over nothing, if you cant be with her, well then you cant, shell get over it….. Now im hungry, come eat something, you're all skin and bones these days according to Molly."
"No thanks I think ill turning early." Sirius got up and headed over to the food murmuring something about seeing him in the morning. Sighing Remus slowly stood and clambered up to his room. Slowly closing the door, so as not to disturb Mrs. Black he collapsed onto his bed and crawled under the covers without bothering to change. His small and dingy room, had few pieces of furniture, though a variety of books were scattered around the place, most appeared to be about the Dark Arts.
Lupin closed his eyes and slowly but eventually fell asleep, his head throbbing from the events of the day.
A/N: Sorry if you're confused bit all will be cleared when I put up chapter 2.
