The Marauder's Years.
ooooOOO***OOOoooo
Remus John Lupin, Sirius Orion Black, Peter Pettigrew and James Potter made up what was known to the entire population of Hogwarts as 'The Marauders.' These four men were best friends, blood brothers. They stuck together through thick and thin. The teenage pranksters were well known to the professors who were constantly punishing them. Sirius Black, had shoulder length black hair, and a rather rugged bad-boy look to him. He was a common heartbreaker/womanizer. He was one of the two main troublemakers of the 'club' the other being James. James Potter was a tall rather skinny young man with unruly black hair that constantly fell in his eyes, even though he wore glasses. Peter Pettigrew was a plump, short boy, who was always following James and Sirius; to everyone else he was rather suspicious looking. Remus Lupin was the quiet more composed man of the group. He had amazing grayish eyes which looked like a storm and smoldered, his hair was a light brown color, and he out of all was the better looking one, but he to all the girls, was unapproachable because of his quiet tendencies.
Remus was the Marauder's with the biggest secret, he was werewolf. He was bitten at a young age, after his father angered another werewolf Fenrir Greyback, well known death-eater. At first his friends had no idea where he went to once month. But soon they discovered his secret. But they didn't run, they became animagi, they supported him. In their second year Sirius's younger cousin started attending Hogwarts her name was Nymphadora Tonks, a metamorphmagus. She although preferred to wear her hair a bright pink color was forced by her mother to keep it her 'natural' waist-length sandy brunette. Her eyes were a stunning aqua. Even at eleven she was breath-taking. In her third year, she started hanging out with her cousin and his friends, she secretly became an animagi, not even the marauder's knew of this. Her form was more werewolf than anything, the reason she had no idea.
Remus had known since he laid his eyes on her that she was his mate, werewolves mate for life. And once you find your mate, even touching another woman would be like betraying her, Remus although he knew, stayed away from her, fearing he was too dangerous for her to be around. But she was the star of every dream and thought for him. Being away from her caused his body to literally ache, but he became accustomed to it, ignoring it the best he could. Tonks also felt the pain, but she too said nothing, and ignored it. When she began spending time with her cousin and the marauders, she came out of her shell, the young men found she was alike her cousin in many ways. But she was composed, and avoided men. All but Charlie Weasley her best friend, he was just that her best friend, her brother. She was a common visitor at the burrow, and loved by both Molly and Arthur.
After a while Remus began speaking to her, getting to know her. He became her best friend, and crush, when she was with him her body and heart didn't hurt. She was happy. In her fourth year, he told Sirius how he felt about her. Sirius laughed heartily, and told him he was nutters and to just ask her out, if he fancied her. After thinking about it. He did just that. She was over the moon. They were truly inseparable. Peter was jealous, he wanted her, but he stayed quiet. Sirius liked taking the piss out of them. James on the other hand was dating her only friend other than the marauders and Charlie. Lily Evens. She too became a friend to all of them.
But in her last year, her happiness ended. Remus ended their relationship, not because he didn't love her, because she was his world, but because his wolf-like mating habits were starting to get out of control. He was afraid he'd hurt her. He walked away with the claim he was too poor and too dangerous, Tonks was broken and shut everyone but Charlie out. Not even Lily could help her. She took it upon herself to fight in the wizarding war. Something dangerous to take her mind off it. She became ruthless to Voldermort's death-eaters. Fenfir was her common target. She blamed him, not Remus. She didn't know the reason to why ended it only that he thought he was too dangerous, but she still blamed the death-eater. Soon Mad-Eye Moody found out about her. He took her in as his protégée. She became an auror, and a well-known one at that. When she got the invitation to Lily and James's wedding she asked Kingsley Shaklebot, her colleague to go with her.
The Marauder's were shocked at her appearance she looked beautiful, but broken in a smart figure hugging black dress. Remus's eyes didn't leave her all night, and when she left, he sat in one of the room's of Grimmauld Place and sobbed for her. Sirius left him to it, knowing his friend needed to cry. Every Christmas she received a bar of her favorite chocolate from Remus… she then knew he was thinking of her. Every Christmas, Tonks spent the morning with her mum, then went to the Weasley's for dinner. The Weasley's then consisted of Arthur, Molly, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred and George and that year Ron. When Halloween rolled around Tonks found out some horrible news Lily and James Potter were killed by Voldermort, leaving their one year old son behind. And Sirius was suspected as the person who told Voldermort of their location… and then killing Peter Pettigrew.
