Chapter one!

Why was Kingsley after him? He hadn't done anything wrong... unless you include breaking in to the Ministry to get some needed information doing something wrong. So now he was running through the Muggle streets of London trying to blend in. He had bought some new Muggle clothes and was wearing them whilst whistling and acting like a Muggle. When he got up that morning, he didn't know his day was going to go horribly... or really well... whatever way you see it. But after ten years of looking forward to nothing, and being miserable, it's only natural to expect another boring day- excluding running from the Ministry... but boy was he in for the surprise of his life.

Tonks was walking along beside an old bookstore, noting it was the same as when she came by here with Remus all those years ago. She was wearing old Muggle clothes and her hair remained strawberry blond so no one would recognise her. She was looking at the old books, blowing dust off them when she heard a crash.

She came raced out of the store to see what it was and saw a young girl with brown hair and red, purple, blue and pink highlights helping up a man with brown greying hair and with what looked like brand new clothes. He had old shoes and a few scars here and there.

She knew it was Remus instantly.

'I'm sorry sir. I wasn't looking where I was going. I was just really interested in this book! And I was on my way to the Library to meet my mum' the young girl said, semi-smiling.

'It's quite alright. I must confess that I too was not paying attention.' Remus looked at her, and was reminded of Tonks. Great. Just what he needed. He was always spotting Tonks somewhere or another, with one problem. It was never her. 'Would you like some chocolate as an apology?'

Tonks, who was standing a few feet away, did her best to suppress a chuckle at this. Remus and his chocolate.

'No thank you. I don't like chocolate.' The girl's small smile had disappeared on the spot.

Which made Tonks frown.

'I know I'm a stranger, but what's your name?'

Oh no- This was Tonks' time to cut in.

'Her name is Sarah.' she said with her chin held high. 'And we must be going. My husband is waiting for us.'

'I'm terribly sorry.' Remus told her, not recognising her a bit. 'I must...' just then he spotted the Ministry workers and decided to blend in.

'Sir? Is something wrong?' Tonks asked him while she watched him sub-consciously freeze and start fidgeting with his hands. Then he got a distant look in his eyes, and was back down to Earth.

'So, what did the teacher say about how Sarah was doing in school?' Remus asked Tonks. Then he muttered in an undertone, 'Please, go along with this.'

Her heart stopped. What was he doing? This was very strange. But then she noticed that there were some Ministry officials, and she whispered to her daughter to go along with her.

When the officials had passed him, Remus eyes showed immediate relief.

'Thank you very much Mrs...?'

Tonks felt a knot twist in her stomach. Her voice shaky she answered him. 'It's Wolfe. Dora Wolfe.' True. It had been Wolfe for eleven years, and she still wasn't used to it. She had changed it so that they couldn't find her. And they hadn't. Sarah was born Tonks, but Tonks changed it to Wolfe after the filing was official.

He smiled. 'Well, Mrs. Wolfe, I'm Remus Fennly. Nice to meet you. I guess we might see each other around.' He shook her hand.

'Maybe.' She returned his smile, and watched him leave. He had no idea.

'Mum, did you know that man I ran into today?' Sarah looked up at her mother from the couch; which was some of the only unpacked furniture in the house right now.

'What do you mean, Sarah?' Tonks was cooking lunch for her daughter. The Muggle way. Eleven years of living as a Muggle, and Tonks learned how to cook, clean, and be neat. She had to, espcially when she became a single mother. She had been married, but it hadn't gone well.

'You seemed to know the man.' Sarah's eyes burned a spot at the back of Tonks' head.

Tonks paused. She had hoped it wouldn't come to this. 'This is just great.' she thought. She set down her ladle. 'I... I used to know that man. Once upon a time, many years ago.'

'How do you know him?' Sarah sat up in her chair.

'Sarah,' Tonks walked over to her daughter and sat down, 'Please, just let it go. Those... aren't very good memories for me.' Tonks had a pained look in her eyes.

Sarah saw this, and she didn't want to hurt her mother, but she wanted to know more.

'Please? Just tell me one thing about this man.Just one thing.' Sarah begged.

Tonks sighed again. She looked into her daughter's eyes, and saw her dark, twinkling brown eyes. Sarah's heart shaped face was brightened in the light, and Tonks saw desperation. Sarah was always one to get so curious about the strangest things.

'That mans name was Remus Lupin. He worked as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, at that school, Hogwarts.' She didn't dare go near the fact that he was a werewolf, Sarah... well... the information wouldn't exactly go well with her. Ever since she was six, and had been bitten by a dog, Sarah was afraid of anything, ANYTHING, with fur. Even if they were nice and gracious, not to mention extremely smart.

'What house was he in? You never told me what house you were in either.'

Tonks looked down at the silver bracelet on her arm. 'He was in Gryffindor, and I was in Hufflepuff.' Tonks looked up at her daughter to see awe in her eyes.

'Will I get to go there? I'm almost eleven! I should get my letter come summer!'

'I don't know. I don't think I want you going there.'

'But why Mu...' Tonks cut her off.

'I just don't think it's a good idea, Sarah.' Tonks brushed a lock of Sarah's brown-pink hair behind her ear. Then she noticed it. A single part of the blue highlighted part of Sarah's hair momentarily turned blond, strawberry blond. But just as quickly as it came, it was gone. Tonks was happy, maybe, just maybe, Sarah was a Metamorphmagi. That would explain all the natural colours in her hair. 'End of discussion. Now, go take a shower. Lunch will be ready when you're all clean. Now go.' Tonks managed a smile.

Sarah obliged with a slightly annoyed moan, slid out of her chair, and sauntered out of the room, shooting her mother an annoyed but sweet look on her face, and when she saw her mother was watching, Sarah smiled and rolled her eyes, and Tonks held back a laugh, and stuck her tongue out before smiling to Sarah.

'Zoe, I'm fine. I miss you. We just arrived here, and my mother says that we might find great adventures here.' Sarah sighed.

The girl called Zoe sadly replied. 'Well, maybe I can move back to Britain with you. What are you going to do for fun?'

'I don't know Zo, my mother took me out today but there wasn't that much to do. I was born in Croatia, but I'm British.' Sarah sighed. She was talking on the phone (she knew she was a witch, but she was raised like a Muggle, and her best friend Zoe was a muggle).

'What did you do while you were out on the streets?' Zoe barely remembered when she lived in Britain. She was the same age as Sarah, but she had moved next door when they were both three.

'Well, I was walking outside a bookstore, when I ran into this man. That's the only interesting thing that happened to me.'

'Wow, than your life must be pretty dull.'

'The thing is, it felt like I knew him. And I just met him. My mother met him to. She had this melancholy look on her face. When I asked her why, she said he was an old friend.'

This made Zoe really interested.

'Do you think he could be your long lost dad?'

'No, I don't. Remember when we were five years exactly? We asked her to tell us about dad, and she said that she didn't know him well. He was kind, but they hadn't talked in years. I don't even know how I remember. I guess, even at five, it was important to me.'

Just then Tonks interrupted her.

'You two were always trouble makers. Are you talking to Zoe-May?' Tonks smiled, and Sarah smiled back. 'I'll just leave you to talk to her.' and Tonks walked off smiling.

'Have you met any friends yet?' Zoe questioned her.

'No, not yet. But if I do, no one will replace you.' Sarah jumped on her bed.

'I hope you can come visit me soon. I know it hasn't been that long, but I miss you already.' Zoe pouted.

'I know I miss you...' Sarah was looking in the mirror when she saw her reflection. 'Zoe, I'm going to have to call you back.'

'Is everything alright?'

'Yes, everything's just peachy.' Sarah reassured her.

'Oh, all right,' Zoe sighed, 'I'll talk to you later then!' and Zoe hung up.

'Mum,' Sarah came running and nearly crashed into Tonks. 'Bloody hell,' Sarah tripped over the rug, and Tonks caught her. Clumsy Tonks knew that Sarah was clumsy too. 'I saw something. In the fire!' Sarah panted. 'It looked like a face. I was talking to Zoe, and it appeared.' Sarah's eyes got large.

'Sarah, watch your mouth.' Tonks said. But on the inside she was screaming.'Oh, no' Tonks thought, pretending to be calm. 'Who had found me?' But she thought she knew the answer. Only one person would try that trick. Only one person... would break into M.O.M... to find information... 'Has he found me?' Tonks hoped he hadn't. Things would get greatly complicated.
