This chapter was written by Professor Pang. R&R!

Tonks was in her cubicle at the Ministry, bored out of her mind. She kept doodling werewolves on her report, only to Evanesco them a few seconds later.

She hadn't seen Remus, her boyfriend, in a few years, more exactly since Sirius went to Azkaban, and she met him again yesterday, and they confirmed that their relationship was still going. It was still a little weird, though. What were they supposed to say? 'So, Darling, what did you do the past few years?'

She sighed and turned her attention to the report at her hands. The fact that they were having a dinner tonight didn't help her to concentrate.

What was she going to wear? What would she wear her hair like?

The questions were endless...

Kingsley's head peeked into her cubicle. "Hey, Tonks, how d'you feel about leaving early?"

"Are you just being mean or serious?"

"No, that's your cousin."

I threw my inkbottle at him and he chuckled. "Honestly, though. You and I are sent to look for Sirius Black in muggle London."

I flew up from the table. "Coming!"

I were out in a few seconds, and soon King and I was strolling down the corridors toward the lifts.

"Pink toad warning," Kingsley murmured.

Groan.

Umbridge walked up the corridor looking smug. "Ah, Auror Tonks. Would you come with me to my office."

I gritted my teeth. "Miss, I'm about to go off for a mission -"

"I'm sure it can wait," Umbridge responded, smiling. "Otherwise, I'm sure Auror Shacklebolt can bring someone more... capable along."

My hair flared red. "And what exactly do you mean by that?"

Umbridge smiled sweetly. "Personally, I don't know who let you into the Auror Squad -"

"Well, I don't know who was stupid enough to let you into Hogwarts."

Umbridge drew her wand - I already had. "Watch your tongue, Nymphadora Tonks. I've got power you can only imagine."

"I can peel a banana too, don't get cocky."

Umbridge hissed in anger. "Half-blood freak. I could get you sacked in a blink of an eye."

"I could get you all green with hair all over in a blink of an eye."

"Freakish Mudblood!"

"Toad-like Insulter-of-Pinkness!"

No one's POV

Umbridge unexpectedly flicked her wand - and a bleeding cut appeared on Tonks' cheek.

Tonks' eyes darkened as she sent a quite harmless hex back at her. Tonks didn't want any reason to really get fired.

Umbridge reflected it easily and then sent a strong jinx right back. Tonks, who was busy trying to get up from the floor after stumbling, didn't have time to react, and it hit her back.

Tonks howled in pain and fell into a heap on the floor. Kingsley had already sprang into action - he Confunded Umbridge and levitated Tonks into the lift.

Back to Tonks' POV

I woke up in a hospital-bed. What happened? I tried to sit up, but was immediately pushed down by a hand on my shoulder. A searing pain shot through my back, and I leaned back, moaning in pain.

I looked sidewards and saw Kingsley, looking worried.

"Wotcher King," I said.

"How are you?" he asked concernedly.

"Well, it hurts. What happened?"

"Remember your fight with Umbridge?"

"Uh, yeah. She did this?"

"She did. How bad is it? Can you take any more visitors?"

"How so?"

"Well, there's a certain professor, a dog, two worried mothers and a paranoid mentor out there."

I smiled. "Let them in."
