Tonks was woken at what she estimated to be four in the morning by a bright light. Said bright light happened to be a Patronus in the form of a big dog. Remus'. Why would he send a Patronus? Tonks had a sinking feeling she was about to find out. The dog's mouth opened and Remus' voice came out.

"Nymphadora, there are people in the cabin. I'm going to go investigate. You stay under the enchantments. If I'm not back in fifteen minutes, come after me."

Breath coming in short gasps, Tonks quickly cast a Tempus charm. It was 4:06. Setting an alarm for 4:21, she began to wait. And wait. And wait some more. Before she could explode, Tonks walked out of the tent and into the misty pre-dawn air. Noticing a book near the ledge, she picked it up. It was a deep purple book emblazoned with the golden words "How to Charm Witches: Part Two."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Tonks began to read. Some passages were highlighted. She continued to flip through it until she came to the chapter "Older than Her?" This part in particular seemed to be dog-eared. Before she could begin to think of the implications, the alarm rang. His fifteen minutes were up. Tonks grabbed her wand and cast a disillusionment charm on herself. Creeping down to the cabin as quietly as she possibly could, Tonks found the tell-tale shimmer of protective charms surrounding it. After casting a bubble of sorts around her, Tonks walked up to the window of the cabin, all of her senses on high alert.

Peering into the cabin, she spotted three people. Two of which she didn't know, the Death Eaters, she supposed. The other person was Remus. He was looking particularly disheveled, and was apparently tied up. Looking at as much of the room as she could see from the window, Tonks tried to figure out a plan. Bursting in there was quite obviously out of the question. She was good at dueling, but two on one was a bit much. A distraction would do nicely. Now what to work with? There wasn't much, unfortunately. The most Tonks could think of would be to light a tree on fire and hope that worked. But it was an idea, so disguising her voice, and bellowing Confringo! as loudly as she could.

The door the cabin burst open and one of the Death Eaters ran out. Slipping in after him, and quite confident in her invisibility, Tonks proceeded to disarm and stun the other Death Eater. Remus, instead of looking relieved, looked very alarmed at the sight of a floating wand attacking people. Noticing this, Tonks made herself visible again, and remembered there was another Death Eater to take care of. He was now in the doorway, looking angrier than Tonks had ever seen anyone. He opened his mouth and was about to yell something, but before he could, he found himself disarmed and unable to move.

She quickly untied Remus, and as he was rubbing his wrists he said, "Wow, you're good."

Tonks shrugged nonchalantly, "Moody thinks because I'm young, I don't have that much experience, so he surprise attacks me frequently."

"That sounds like the Moody we all know and love," Remus' eyes twinkled distractingly. Before Tonks knew what she was doing, her face was right in front his. He smelled like wood smoke and nighttime. It was intoxicating. Inhaling deeply, she moved forward until, she found that she was kissing him.

His lips were soft, but slightly chapped. Realizing what she was doing, Tonks pulled away quickly and after staring in shock at Remus, who still had a twinkle in his eye, she ran out of the cabin, not stopping until she got back to the tent. Collapsing onto her bunk, Tonks found she was quite tired, but her mind seemed to want to keep replaying the moment. Which she really didn't mind all that much, but still. When Remus came back, she didn't move, and took no notice of him. He hesitated in front of her bed, like he was about to say something, but decided not to. Instead he sighed and climbed into his bunk. After some time, pure exhaustion took over her until the late afternoon when she was woken by the smell of bacon frying. She didn't move because, she was incapable of making bacon in her sleep, that meant Remus must be the one. Once he left the tent to do something, Tonks got up and noticed a small pile of bacon was sitting on the table, for her, she assumed.

After eating, she picked up the plate to wash up and noticed a small, carefully folded piece of paper sitting on the table. On the front in elegant script read Nymphadora. Swallowing panic, she picked it up and read.

Nymphadora,

I would like to speak to you as soon as possible. Come and find me. Oh, and I stole your wand.

Remus
