A/N- so this is the first of one shots that I'm gunna do, and it takes us back to the time of the marauders. I really hope you enjoy it.
Disclamer, I do not own harry potter :'(
and a big thank you to Harmony is Key for beating this for me :)
"You owe us, Black" James Potter said to his best friend as they approached the door to Malfoy Manor.
"I apologize" Sirius replied bitterly.
"I don't want to be here either, you know, but Andromeda doesn't trust them with Nymphadora, and she's busy today. Normally I would babysit, but my dearest mother insisted that she attend the reunion, who knows why they hate Andromeda for marrying Ted"
"We know Sirius, we've heard this story," Remus said.
"Well Lily hasn't," Peter said cheerfully.
It was the beginning of the summer after the marauders last year at school and the Black family was having a family reunion. Sirius had begged his friends to come with him to make it more bearable.
As they approached the door, Sirius raised his hand to knock. Bellatrix opened the door, she was stood with her husband. "Oh look, it's the little traitor, what are you doing here, and bringing more blood traitors and mudbloods as well."
"Don't you dare talk about Lily" James spat.
"Andromeda sent me to keep an eye on Nymphadora," Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere
"Siri, Siri me no called Nymphadora. No call me Nymphadora." And a young girl with ice blue curls wrapped her arms around one of Sirius's legs.
"Sorry Dora"
"No Dora"
"Well what would you like us to call you?" Lily asked sweetly
"Tonks!" she shouted, throwing her arms in the air.
"Come on lets go play in the garden" The group of five teenagers took the child into the garden and Sirius asked "what do you want to do, Tonks?"
"Hide seek, hide seek"
"Okay"
Tonks ran to Remus grabbed his hand and said "My partner, mine."
"I get Lily," James claimed
"Siri on, Siri on."
"Okay, I'll count to 100," Sirius said, he and Peter sat on the stairs, "one... two... three..."
"Come on, go hide now," Tonks pulled Remus into some large rose bushes and ducked down behind them. Remus copied her. "What your name?" Tonks attempted to whisper.
"Remus."
"Wemus," Tonks tried to say "I like you, Ima call you wolfy."
"Why would you call me wolfy?" Remus asked gently.
"Because I know you're a werewolf silly," She said as if it was the most common known thing in the world. "Don't worry I no tell others, I likes you, I keep your secret."
"Why thank you, Dora." Remus hadn't meant to call her Dora, and he waited for her protest but it never came.
"Do the pretty girl, Siri, Jam, and the short boy know what you are?" Remus assumed Jam was James he had most likely met the girl before considering Sirius babysat for her and he lives with James at this moment in time.
"Yes they do, so you can use your nickname around them."
"Good, because I like your name from me," she said
They played hide and seek until Tonks was tired, becoming close to Remus she refused to leave his side and fell asleep in his arms. When they were sure they could talk without waking her Sirius and James began taunting him.
"Looks like our Moony here has an admirer Prongs."
"Don't you mean our Wolfy, Padfoot."
"Leave Remus alone," Lily defended "She's young and the way you're taking it is so wrong. I mean come on she's five."
"Her speech is terrible for a five year old," Remus mumbled to himself.
"But our Tonks has a little crush," Sirius said
"Or you could put it as his Dora. I mean, he's the only one who's allowed to call her that," James added sniggering
"Yes, but she will have to increase her speaking skills," Sirius mocked "I mean, come on, his little sister was forming perfect sentences by age one, Tonks is way behind her."
"Will you two pack it in?" Remus pleaded, as Tonks shifted in his arms so her ear was pressed against his heart.
If you enjoyed this come back next time for a next generation one shot :D
Please Review, even if you didn't like it, I'm all for constructive criticism, but please don't be mean just to be mean.
