7 years and 5 months Later.
April 1980.
Little Nymphie ran through the fields behind the house to her Uncle Sirius, his best friend James and her favorite person in the world, James wife, Lily. Nymphie laughed when she reached them and her uncle picked her up spun her around then tossed her into the air. When he set her down she was slightly dizzy but did not care because of how happy she felt around them at that moment. Nymphadora glanced over at Lily and noticed that she was different. She was rounder in the middle and she had a faint glow around her that could only be from happiness. She radiated joy.
"Mrs. Lily, are you gonna have a baby?" The young girl asked curiously. Lily Potter smiled down at the child her green eyes wide.
"Yes Dora I am." Nymphie looked at Sirius for confirmation on this anomaly and he nodded in agreement with the women's words. Nymphadora Tonks laughed and began jumping up and down her hair changing swiftly from one color to the next in a heartbeat before settling on a striking bubble gum pink.
"My mommy is gonna have a baby soon too! Is it a boy or a girl? What's his name gonna be? Are you gonna keep him?" Nymphies excitement was beginning to overwhelm the pregnant Lily. James crouched down to meet her level placing his hands on either shoulder to steady her.
"Nymphie honey calm down. Of course were going to keep him. That's a silly question. It's a boy, we just found out before we came here. His name will be Harry, Harry James Potter after me." The girl had calmed down by this point and was staring into the man's eyes. She realized that he looked very worried and like he wasn't getting enough sleep. Sirius sunk down to their level as well.
"Give you love to James and Lily Nymphie, it's going to be a while before you see them again. "This comment puzzled the girl but she refrained from asking questions. She had learned long ago not to question her uncle Sirius. Nymphadora Tonks did as she was told hugging James as tightly as she could and attempting to wrap her arms around Lily. The women laughed at the girls attempt to be gentle with her. .
"Its okay Dora, you won't hurt me." Nymphadora sniffled as she held tight to the elder women. She did not want to let go. "Don't cry sweetie." She told her in a comforting, melodic voice patting her hair down. "We're leaving to be safe." At the last comment the girl knew what was going on.
"It's that bad man isn't it? V-V-Voldemort," she gulped his name down, "He's c-c-coming after you i-isnt he?" She stuttered through the rest of the thought the forming tears making it hard for her to speak. Lily held the child tighter hoping to comfort her as best she could a reassure the girl that all would be okay.
"Dora baby don't cry. We'll be okay, Please don't cry." Nymphie looked up at the caring women and tried to blink away the tears in her eyes, "I want you to know something okay?" Dora nodded. "You are a beautiful little girl okay? And you will grow to be beautiful young women. Don't do bad things, and always remember that no matter what, we, James and I, we love you." Lily started to cry as well and James took Dora from her arms so that his wife could compose herself.
"Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks, Listen to me okay? Dry your eyes and listen really close I have a job for you okay honey? "James said gently. The girl reached up and wiped away the last traces of tears from her e
"Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks, Listen to me okay? Dry your eyes and listen really close I have a job for you okay honey? "James said gently. The girl reached up and wiped away the last traces of tears from her eyes. "I need to you make me a promise that you must always keep okay?" Nymphie nodded. "No I need more than that. I need a yes sir!" Nymphie smiled.
She put her hand to her brow, "Yes sir. I promise, now and forever."
"Good. Now I need you to swear to me that no matter what happens to me, you must always protect Harry. Okay? I know you're young now. And I know that right now nothing is going to happen to me and Lily, but we have to go hide now. So just in case something happens I want to know that I have someone to look after my boy. Can you do that?" Nymphadora was young but she understood that task she was receiving from this man and could feel in her heart it would be difficult. But she would do it.
She gave final hugs to James, Lily, and Sirius but did not say a word as they walked away; she didn't feel the need too. When they got a fairly good distance away and she could feel they were about to disapperate she shouted as loud as she could, "I love you guys! And I promise-"the loud popping noise of the disapperating spell interrupted her screams. And like that they were gone. Immediately she began to think about what she would say to them the next time she saw the,. But what the little girl didn't know as she walked home was that she wasn't going to see them again. Not for a very long time.
