I do not own the wonderful harry potter world. I just own this story.
Meet and Greet
15th August
Nymphadora Tonks rushed into number 12 Grimmauld Place. She was late (again) for the order of the phoenix meeting and had been expected to get up and begin the meeting with her report. She was so worried she barely registered a tall man at the foot of the stairs. Who's he? Surly she had met everyone in the order. Well, except for the werewolf that everyone specks so highly of. What was his name? Oh yes, Remus John Lupin.
THUD! The troll umbrella stand had been kicked over by her clumsy foot.
"FILTHY HALF-BLOOD SHAPE-SHIFTING FREAK!" Startled by the sounds of Walburga Black, she tripped over a pink, tattered umbrella sprawled out on the floor. The contact with the floor never came, but two long arms to catch her did.
"Watch your step there," A hoarse voice said while she was hoisted back on to her two feet. A blush started to creep up her cheeks. Thank god it was dark.
"Sorry, Sorry. I'm so clumsy. I-OW!" Grumbled Tonks as she hit her head on a glass case containing a house-elf head.
"I'll deal with mummy dearest Moony. Who is it?" Asked a familiar voice. Moony? Oh no! that's what Sirius calls the werewolf whenever he mentions him.
"It seems to be your little cousin Padfoot." Replied Remus. How did he know who I was? "Easy to recognise with that pink hair." Oh no! He's a legilamens. Crap!
"Tonksie?"
"Yes it's me Sirius. Now hurry and shut her up. Oh and DON'T call me tonksie!" UGH! I hate that name.
"Ok Nymphadora!" He teased.
"JUST CALL ME TONKS!"
"Calm down. Padfoot, she's right close her curtains for god sake. Come on Tonks, the order meeting starts in two minutes." agreed Remus. It was finally over, or so I thought as I started walking or well in my case, limping.
"Fine. But don't forget to kiss her better Moony because she's limping!"
"Ha ha, very funny Padfoot."Let's just quickly go down stairs to the meeting she added on in her mind and did exactly that.
22nd August
THUD! There goes the umbrella stand.
"FILTHY HALF-BLOOD TAINTING THE HOME OF MY FATHERS-!"
"SHUT UP YOU OLD HAG" Right on time.
"Tonks dear. come down stairs for some food." drifted the voice of Molly Weasley.
Sirius grimaced." We've had a Weasley invasion."
"We? Who's we?" Tonks cocked one eyebrow.
"Me and Moony. Now come on before you upset the Weasley matriarch."
Tonks stifled a giggle and they started to make their way down stairs. As they got to the bottom step Tonks' clumsiness took over and she tripped. Luckily her knight in, let's just say shabby armour rescued her again.
"Do you always trip like this?" Remus questioned her.
"Are you always there to catch me?" she taunted back.
"If this carries on, then yes I will be." he answered flatly. No sooner had he lowered her to the ground they burst out with laughter. and they carried on laughing until they were sitting down at the table. Only Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, them and Sirius were at the table. Molly and Arthur gave them strange looks and Sirius cocked and eyebrow at them.
"DINNER!" Shouted Molly, "but first I have an announcement to make." she added on as Ron and Ginny settled at the table.
"An announcement? I belive the announcement was DINNER!" Mumbled Tonks and a few of the children snorted and sniggered.
"I just got a note from Dumbledore declaring Ron as a prefect!" She announced excitedly ignoring Tonks. Cheers and claps came from all the children as well as a couple of whispers from Fred and George.
