Tonks made her way up the stairs leading to Lupin's flat. She seemed to be in no hurry to reach the top, enjoying the stares of the other tenants on her back. He hair a plum purple, five piercing on each ear, a mini skirt, and a long sleeve peasant top. She wasn't sure what irked them the most the hair, piercing, or wearing that top on the hottest day of the year.

Once there she gave the door a tap tap, then a rap rap, and finally she hit the door with her fist and called to him.

"Lupin wake up! It is I Tonks with urgent news from Dumbledore." She gave him 5 seconds then unsheathed her wand and undid the lock. "You better be wearing something cuz' I'm coming in right now."

Inside Lupin was still on the floor. He rolled over and found him self entangled in his nightshirt. He could hear Tonks outside his door, but he hurt so much that he didn't have the strength to say anything. His mouth was dry and his skin soaked in perspiration. He looked over at the door as it opened and Tonks walked in. she looked at him as if she didn't know who he was.

"Hey kid, where's Lupin?" she didn't want to ask why this boy was here, maybe he's a werewolf too, who's visiting, she thought.

"What are you talking about Tonks? I'm right here." He tried to stand up, but he snagged himself on his pant leg. Tonks stretch out her hand to help him up, he gladly took it. "Now tell what is so urgent."

"Sorry but this info is for Lupin's furry little ears only." She sat down at the table and looked around. "Is he in the loo or something?"

"Listen Tonks, I don't know what kind of joke you are trying to pull over me. But, please get to the point of this visit."

Tonks was about to lose her temper and by the looks of it so was he.

"Look you are too young, too short, and you look nothing like him!"

"What?" Lupin walked to his mirror and to his horror a 16 year old face was starring right back at him. Oh no the potion! It shrunk me!

Lupin stumbled onto his bed. Tonks kept her eye on him. She could tell something was going on here.

"Um, if you could just tell me where Lupin is we can untangle this whole ugly mess."

"Tonks, it is me." He said in a calm voice. "I took a potion last night. It must have reversed my age!"

"Oh yeah?" Tonks looked him over again, he did resemble Remus the way she remembered him from school. "Tell me something that only Lupin would know."

"All right," he knew some proof would be in order, "Here are three, one you don't like your first name, two you are a Metamorphmagus, and three you got your hand stuck in a suit of armor when you where 14 because Lucius Malfoy put you retainer in there."

Tonks was sure no one knew about that last one, but Lupin who had helped her get it out.

"It is you!" she pinched his check. "You really shrunk yourself; I'm impressed since you have always been lousy at potions."

Remus glared at her. Not much he could do, but get up and look in his closet for some smaller clothes which he found in a dark corner of the room. A pair of worn blue jeans and a black top with the word Beatles, half gone, on the back.

"Well let's go then." He said while putting his patched jacket on. Tonks looked at him thinking how much he looked like Oliver Twist in the over sized coat.
