Hey fellow fan fictioners. So this is my first fan fiction that I have written. I hope you guys like it so far. I kept it as canonical as possible but I changed certain things so please forgive me!
I would appreciate some in-put on this so go ahead and comment or message me.
All characters belong to JK Rowling.
Chapter 1
*POP!*
Tonks felt the soft snow meet her boots as she arrived at the Burrow. She had apparated straight from Headquarters where she had handed in the last of her paperwork for the day. It was a cold evening and her breath created a smoky mist before her.
She looked up in front of her whilst brushing the snow off her coat. The Burrow was a beautiful sight this Christmas Eve. The Weasleys had certainly out done themselves. Fairy lights danced and illuminated the snow covered Burrow even in the dark of the night. Tonks tried to ignore the enchanted snowmen that were having a snowball fight beside her. She made her way to the kitchen entrance being careful to avoid slipping on the path.
She stopped as her hand reached for the door handle. She could hear voices coming from inside. One voice in particular made her freeze in her steps.
He came? He's back?
Tonks tilted her head to get a better listen. No mistaking it she had heard his voice on the other side of the door. Remus Lupin's voice. Tonks straightened her back and stared into the wooden door before her.
I'm not prepared for this.
She dug her hands in her pockets and contemplated escape routes. She bit her lip considering going back to headquarters.
Strange how this seemed to slip Molly's mind when Tonks asked who was to attend the Christmas party. Let alone the fact that it slipped everyone's mind that he was back at all after meeting with Fenrir Greyback.
Tonks sighed and looked around making sure no one had caught her strange behaviour. Like many things lately she pushed this aside and locked it away at the back of her mind. And heart.
She wiped her boots on the welcome mat as it magically whistled back Jingle Bells and entered the Burrow.
