The Grimmauld Place Couples
"Hey tonks!" shouted Ginny "have u seen Remus?"
"Actually now that I think about I haven't seen him...all day...he said he was going out with Ron and Harry...do you know where they went?" said tonks
"Yeah they said they were going down to diagon alley." replied Ginny. "Hey guys! What are you doing? Hermione had entered.
"We are looking for the boys." replied tonks "oh I think they just arrived back... Tonks be afraid Remus brought home plenty of bags...and I think one of them is moving!" replied Hermione. Ron arrived in the room holding a box... With holes in it.
"Ronald Weasley! What is in there?" shouted Hermione, rose Weasley by her side. "Oh I have finally saved enough money from working with George for... Him..." Ron had opened the large box and a beautiful snowy owl flew out. "I call him Dumbledore! After the nut case himself!" Ron laughed. Rose had manipulated her way out of her mother's arms, and Dumbledore landed lightly on her outstretched arm. Hermione screamed and pulled her daughter aside, Dumbledore flew to Ron.
"Ron, please tell me Remus was just holding your owl for you... And that he DOESNT have one of his own..." Tonks said in a disapproving way.
"Ooohhhh I'm glad you asked he got a BEUTIFUL brown barn owl!" Ron had replied excitedly. Tonks mumbled under her breath and ran out of the room.
"Ron why didn't you ask me before you got that owl, don't forget about crookshanks, he may be old but he can catch a bird!" Hermione said angrily.
"Oh you think I got Dumbledore for me? Silly Hermione! Dumbledore! Dumbledore! Happy Christmas Hermione!" Ron handed over the owl to Hermione, she squealed and thanked him. Then they heard a sudden squeal, well actually two. The boys hadn't told their wives where they went because they had gone off to buy the girls owls for Christmas. Hermione and rose arrived in the room where Ginny and Tonks had run off to. Tonks had a large brown barn owl on her shoulder, while Ginny had a tiny owl in the palm of her hand. Remus and Harry stood next to each other, smiling.
"Happy Christmas girls!" they shouted in unison. They thanked them, and then suddenly Ginny shouted
"Oh! It's Christmas Eve we told mum and dad that we would be down at the burrow! They are going to he worried sick, we better get going!"
"Can we fly?" tonks and Harry asked in unison.
"NO!" Hermione quickly shouted.
"Ok let me rephrase that then," tonks said, "can me and Harry fly there?"
"NO" Remus firmly said, "Tonks, Harry have you got any idea what it looks like outside?" "Not good flying conditions, Harry no!" Harry had been trying to sneak into Sirius's room to grab his firebolt.
"But Remus! It's not far!" Harry complained.
"fine you two can go and only because Andromeda will be there!" Remus said. Andromeda was tonks's mum who could also heal people as well as a healer."
"Awesome!" squealed Tonks. "Hey Harry bet I could beat you there!" Harry and tonks ran upstairs to grab their brooms.
"Uhg! Tonks will risk her life to ride that thing!" Remus shouted.
"Same with Harry he would do anything to ride it!" Ginny piped up.
"Well we better get going!". Hermione said.
"Hermione, could I go with Tonks and Harry?" Ron asked pleadingly.
"NO" Hermione sternly said. Ron mumbled and the group walked off towards the large car. "There they go" Remus sighed. Tonks and Harry were racing against each other up in the sky. The ribbons on tonks broom were flapping in the winter air.
"Hugo! Teddy! Albus! Lily! James!" Hermione shouted in the door. "Where has dad gone?" James asked suspiciously.
"Umm he left early" replied Ginny.
"Dad, where has mum gone?" Teddy asked.
"She went with Harry." Replied Remus in a relaxed tone.
Hermione pulled rose aside," rose u speak nothing of where Harry and tonks went, James and Teddy would be furious! Do you understand me?"
"Yes mummy!" rose replied loyally. "Good girl rose!" replied Hermione. Everyone piled up in the large car. And drove what seemed like 5 hours, "mum! Hugo told me that I will get a boggart in my closet! But I'm not going to right mummy? Right?" rose whined.
"Hugo, how dare you tell your sister such a lie!" Hugo snickered, and straightened his face and said
"I'm sorry mum!"
"Rose you will not get a boggart in your closet don't worry!" rose smiled.
Lily said " hey rose you want to come with me up to my mum's old room with me when we get there?" Ginny's room had not been touched since she had moved into Grimmauld place with Harry.
"Yeah!" squealed rose.
"Thank you lily!" said Hermione
"No problem, aunt Hermione!" lily said. They arrived in the gravel drive of the burrow.
"You guys are here! I thought you weren't coming, I was worried sick!" Molly was running out hugging everyone.
"I told you so…" Ginny mumbled to Remus, who tried to keep a straight face.
"Where's tonks and Harry?" Molly sounded concerned.
"I thought they had arrived here already." Hermione sounded concerned.
"I will go on a broom to get them, Molly may I borrow a broom?" Remus said with a hint of unsurancy in his voice.
"Oh! Most, certainly!" Molly rushed off to the old broom shed.
"Remus, I'm coming with you." Ginny looked on the verge of tears, "Harry is a fast flyer he should have been here ages ago!"
"Ok Ginny but I must warn you this would be worse than any Quidditch math you have ever played in!" Remus cautiously said. "Bet you anything tonks fell off her broom..." Remus mumbled. Teddy giggled at this.
"Hold on! Wait before you go!" Hermione quickly shouted. "I can send them a message!" and at that she pulled out her wand and a silver otter burst from the end of It." why are you late? Where are you?" Remus walks over,
"Tonks, you did NOT fall off your broom, did you?" And with that the silver otter broke free and disappeared from view. An hour or so later they got a familiar looking patronus back, one that looked a lot like a werewolf.
Harry's voice said "we are ok; there was a huge wind so we landed and decided to wait it out, but we don't think I will be ending very soon, we are down by London,"
They could here tonks stutter from cold, "c-c-could someone c-c-come get us?"
"I will go get them." bill, fleur, Dominique, Louis and Victorie had just arrived, "I can drive our car, and go get them, London right?" Bill replied.
"Yes and thank you bill, you saved me a lot of trouble!" Remus said gratefully.
"Hold on wait! Look!" Ginny was pointing to a large brown barn owl with two broomsticks following behind.
"Oh thank goodness you guys are ok!" Molly had just arrived in the room.
"'Arry you are ok, oh thank goodness!" fleur came running over to Harry. Tonks rolled her eyes at this. Fleur had never really liked her.
"TONKS! MUM!" Remus and Teddy came running at her.
"HARRY!" oh Harry I was so worried!" Ginny, who looked as if she had been crying, came running at harry, who fell backward on to the couch. Harry and Tonks, who were both on the couch by now, were laughing.
"Hey what have you guys named your owls?" rose asked.
"Oh um-well- I haven't thought of a name yet." tonks said nervously eyeing Remus.
"Me neither" replied Ginny,
"Well I guess mine is named Dumbledore." laughed Hermione. The owl came swooping in at the sound of its name.
"Maybe I could name mine...pigwidgeon!" Ginny said. Ron was silently whimpering in the back of the room, pigwidgeon was the name of his small owl, which he had gotten from Harry's godfather. Who had recently died. "Oh sorry Ron! I forgot! Never mind I will name mine...Luna! After Luna Lov- Longbottom!" sqealed Ginny. She quickly fixed her mistake; the mystical Ravenclaw had just gotten married that summer.
"I will name mine Sirius, after Sirius." said tonks. Harry looked happy. "PRESENTS!" Molly had come running in, with her arms full of boxes. Everyone one got a Weasley sweater, including fleur, who Molly didn't seem to favor, and tonks and Remus got a sweater to, even though they aren't a Weasley, both of whom Molly seemed to favor very much. "Since Hermione, Ginny and tonks got their presents at Grimmauld place then that would be all, oh and girls don't leave the owls outside on a snowy night like this they will freeze, that's what happened to Errol ..." Arthur was silently whimpering in the back, Errol was the Weasley family owl who was left out in the cold too long...
"Well we better be off, c'mon tonks, Teddy!" Remus said.
"Oh you guys can spend the night we have plenty of rooms, large rooms two people per room!" Molly said generously.
"Oh that's very nice of you Molly!" tonks had joined the conversation.
"Oh anything for you guys!" Molly replied.
"Kids get up to bed!" yelled Arthur, "it's much too late already!"
"You to, Teddy!" Remus scowled.
"I think I might join them." tonks was still shivering and walked up the stairs. The next morning everyone opened presents, Teddy and James had gotten broomsticks, lily and rose had gotten a potions kit for each of them, albus had gotten a bunch of books in which he seemed to be very pleased about and Hugo had gotten a small, fat, grey rat, that his father Ron had insisted on. Dominique and Victorie had gotten a cat, for them to share, that they named Tonks, after tonks herself who they seemed to favor, fleur tried to talk them out of it but they wouldn't budge. And everyone got a bunch of honeydukes sweets. After that everyone said their goodbyes and the group was off, Tonks and Harry forced to travel in the car, with their broomsticks locked up In back. When they got back everyone went back to bed...except for the kids who were playing. With their Christmas presents.
