Tonks had just finished a long day at the Ministry and was feeling rather tired. She had stayed at Grimmauld Place the previous evening and had left the majority of her things there as she had an early start and hadn't wanted to wake everyone else.

"For Merlin's sake," she muttered, pulling herself up off of the ground and looking at the mess on the floor. Then, she noticed the blood. Her blood. She sighed, looking down herself, then at both of her hands as if trying to work out where the blood was coming from.
