Nymphadora Tonks and the Secret Gate
Chapter 1: Floo Powder
Nymphadora was sitting in her room; she had packed all her things for the Hogwarts Express. She was starting her 5th year at Hogwarts, and she was really exited, only 2 months ago, did she leave her friends behind at platform 9 3/4, she had kept in touch with them, of course, but she had also lots to tell them.
"Nymphadora!" Her mom called from the kitchen "Are you ready for the train tomorrow?"
"Yes, mom" Nymphadora replied, rolling her eyes, she hated it when she was called Nymphadora; she was called Tonks or Dora.
"Hey" Her twin, Azka, was leaning through her bedroom door. "Mom says it is okay if we invite a friend over, but only one."
"Oh," Dora said, "Who are you having over?"
"I was thinking maybe Diana Black" Azka said sitting down on Dora's bed. Diana Black was one of the twin's friends. She was also Sirius Black's sister. "What about you?"
"Maybe Jenna Lupin??" Dora said thoughtfully. Jenna Lupin was one of Dora's best friends; she was Remus Lupin's little sister and she was unlike her brother, not a werewolf.
"Yeah... Jenna and Diana might work. Let's go get them now" Azka stood up and headed for the door, "Too bad we can't invite Hanna Potter" Azka added as an afterthought. "Then we would have the whole gang."
"We could always ask" Dora pointed out, walking past her sister and down to the kitchen.
"Mom, we want Jenna, Hanna and Diana to sleep over, we can't just leave Hanna out of it!"
"All right, I guess it will have to do with three extra girls then," Their mom sighed, "I'll get the floo powder ready" and with that she headed towards the living room.
"All right!" Azka said enthusiastically "Floo Powder!" Dora rolled her eyes.Dora and Azka followed their mom into the living room; she was sitting by the arm chair with a bag of what looked like dust.
"Nymphadora, you can call in on one of your friends first"
"All right" Dora answered; she stepped closer to the fire, bent down, and stuck her head in the fireplace, before dropping the floo powder and saying "Number 9, London Street!" Dora's head was turning round and round, faster and faster, before it finally stopped.
"Jenna??" Dora called, "You home?" A tall boy, with honey colored hair stepped into the room.
"Oh! Hello Tonks," Remus said his face broke into a grin. "So, you want to talk to my sister then?"
"Hi Remus," Dora replied, blushing, she had liked Remus for ages. "Yes, I would like to talk to her."
"I'll get her then, shall I?" He said, and without waiting for an answer he disappeared. Dora looked around the room, she hated having her head in the fire, and it was so weird.
"Hi" Jenna said as she appeared "What do you want?"
"We, that is to say me and Azka, are allowed to have 3 friends over tonight, we are going to sleep by the lake" Dora added.
"Oh cool!" Jenna exclaimed "I will ask right away! MOM!"
"What?" Came the reply from the other room.
"Can I please sleep over at the lake with Tonks and Azka?"
"Sure, honey" Jenna's mom said. Jenna grimaced and Remus laughed.
"I'll be over right away! Just need to pack."
"Make sure you use our drawing room fireplace. I don't want my head being trampled on" Dora said quickly.
"All right," Jenna replied, laughing.
"G'night then, Dora" Remus said grinning. Dora was caught by surprise, only 5 people knew that nickname, her, Azka, Jenna, Hanna, and Diana.
"Good night, then"
"Finally!!" Azka shouted as Dora came out of the fireplace "I almost thought Remus had started kissing you or something!"Dora blushed but didn't reply scowling Azka stuck her head into the fireplace.
"I'll take care of Diana and Hanna, Dora" Azka said "Or you might start making out with Sirius and James to!"
"I did not make out with Remus!" Dora shouted.
"Sure you didn't" Azka said, before she shouted "Number 12, Grimmauld Place!"
"I can't!" Hanna wailed, she was playing with her brown hair "They won't let me!" Dora had been allowed to get Hanna Potter for the lake trip, and Hanna had just gotten a no from her parents."Because they are going away tonight and are leaving me, James and Sirius, behind! So to make sure they don't come home to a destroyed house I can't go!" As Hanna told this, she kept glancing into the next room, and as she finished Sirius and James walked into the room.
"Hello Tonks," Sirius said, grinning "Pink...Doesn't that mean love?"
"Probably does" Dora muttered, "I don't really care for my hair color."
"I have noticed," James said, suddenly, "What was it on the platform in June?"
"It was pink with violet stripes," Dora replied.
"Yes, I remember now..."
"So you can't come then?" Dora asked her eyes back on Hanna.
"No," Hanna glowered at her brother.
"Well, I can't stay and chat, my foot just fell asleep," Dora said, "See you tomorrow then."
"S'pose" Hanna replied, "Bye"
"Bye"
