I'm so sorry everyone. I got my ages mixed up. Well here is how it works now, Lupin was going through student teaching. You know like when someone studies to be a teacher they have to go through a year of student teaching. That is why Lupin was at Hogwarts. I'm making it they have to go through that in my story. That clears that up now.
Sorry for the confusion.
Chapter 1-
13 years later
Nymphadora Tonks walked into 12 GrimmauldPlace at precisely 7 o' clock. The front hall was silent and dark. Taking out her wand, she walk forward only to be tripped by a umbrella rack. Cursing herself fro being such a clutz she tried to get up. The painting of Mrs. Black began screeching at her, while trying to silence it she felt strong hands pull her from the floor, while another voice silenced the painting. Looking up she saw two men, one she recognized to be her cousin, Sirius Black, the other she didn't recognize. The stranger helped her up as Sirius silenced the painting.
"Well Remus, I told you my cousin was foul bit clumsy." Sirius said to the stranger
"I see you were correct." Remus said in response
Remus looked down at the women he was helping to her feet. He then realized who it was. He let go o her arm and backed up.
"It's you." He said as light as a breath.
"Excuse me?" Tonks responded
"Yes Remus this is my cousin, Nymphadora Tonks." Sirius said
"I've told you a thousand times don't call me Nymphadora, Sirius." Tonks said, annoyed at her cousin
"Well what are you going to do about it." Sirius batted her
"I'll tell you what I'm gonna do." She said taking out her wand. At the same time Sirius took out his and they faced off. Circling each other waiting for an opening. Finally Tonks knocked Sirius wand out of his hand and pinned him to the wall, wand close to his face.
"Good, Mad-Eye taught you well." Sirius said laughing
Remus, still stunned at seeing Tonks after 13 years, watched as the two playfully fought each other like siblings. This was the girl he hoped he would never see again, especially after having to wile her memory of him. It was the last person who wanted to be here but he couldn't stop them from letting her join the Order.
"So Remus is it? For some reason I feel like I know you somehow. But I have no memory of ever meeting you. Unfortunately many of my memories from childhood are missing. Maybe it has something to do with that werewolf attack when I was 11years old" Tonks said to Lupin
"Werewolf attack?" Lupin asked shuttering at his memories of the attack
"Yea, in my first year at Hogwarts I was attacked by a werewolf in the Forbidden Forest. It was my fault for going in there, but anyway the werewolf scratched me up a bit and threw me into a rock. It left me alone when I stopped moving."
"Did you know the werewolf?"
"I don't remember. I hit my head pretty good, so I hardly remember the attack."
"Well I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Thank you but it was a long time ago."
They continued to talk as they walked in the meeting. Afterward Sirius offered for Tonks to stay at his house. She took the offer only cause her parents had been hounding her about getting her own she slept lupin came to visit her. He looked at the scars that remained from the attack. As she stared them he remembered the day her met her
~13 years ago~
Remus Lupin sat his desk watching the students as they worked. He would been studying under professor McGonagall this term. As he sat reviewing lesson plays McGonagall had made for him to teach he noticed a girl around eleven sitting by herself.`Her bubble-gum pink hair stuck out of the crowd and her grey eyes looked sad. Some other children were pointing and giggling at her. One of them threw something at her that must have hurt, he couldn't quite make out what it was though. It hit her right by her eye. It left a small cut, and she started to cry. Not loud but he could hear he softly sniffling. McGonagall took over the class so he could check on her. He walked up to her table and she didn't even look up at him. He bend down so He could be at her level.
"What's your name." He asked
"Nymphadora Tonks" she said
"Do you know why they kids are being mean to you."
"No."
Remus gently brushed his hand over the cut.
"Do you want me to take you to get that cleaned up" he asked her. She just nodded her head.
They went to the hospital wing. The nurse let Remus take care of her himself. She sat looking everywhere but he face.
"Why do the other kids make fun of you." He asked
"Cause my hair can change color. I can a my appearance at will."
"You a metamorphmagus?"
"That's what they told me. It's not something I can get rid of. I'm stuck like this" She started to cry again.
"I understand."
"You do?"
"Yes, I transform into a dog, and when was your age I would turn into a dog in the middle of class. Imagine how embarrassed I was."
She started laughing and was smiling after that. Remus couldn't help but think she was the cutest thing ever.
"So when we get back to class, do you want to sit at my desk with me." He asked her.
"Yea" she said and they walked back to her class, and she held his hand the entire time.
~Present~
Lupin could still feel her small hand in his as they walked back to the class room. He never thought that things would end so bad.
In an effort not to wake her he walked out of her room and to his where he lest sleep taking him to restless dreams.
