Holding Cell

"Chained to a desk." were Remus' first thoughts as he woke up.

"Stunned by a mad, old woman!" were his second thoughts. The same woman who was sitting right in front of him.

"Write!" she said.

It was then that he saw that there was parchment, quills & an ink bottle in front of him.

"Okay, I understand that old people sometimes might become senile but THIS IS INSANE! WRITE WHAT? DO I LOOK LIKE A WRITER?" he shouted.

Tonks, who was already upset for having lost the other three culprits lost her temper as well, "DON'T TRY TO BE SMART!" "Look, if you confess everything honestly, I'll try to see what I can do to help you." she continued.

"Confess? CONFESS! And whatever in the wide world do you want me to confess ma'am?" Remus asked bewildered.

Tonks took a deep breath to calm herself and replied, "Everything. Starting with why did you attack Arthur and Molly Weasley today, who were your three friends, where can we find them etc etc."

Remus could just stare at her. "I repeat myself, are you totally INSANE?" he asked.

Before Tonks could get angrier and end up doing something drastic, Moody arrived there.

"So you said you got one of the three lass. Who is he?" Moody asked Tonks.

"Four, not three Moody. And he won't confess anything." she replied.

It was then that he saw the man in front of him clearly "REMUS!"

"Hello Mad-eye! Glad to see someone HALF mad!" Remus replied wearily.

"Tonks, what is the meaning of this?" he asked angrily.

"What do you mean? I caught him red-handed! He was going to attack Arthur and Molly!" she replied indignantly.

"Release him!" Moody ordered.

"What? But Moody" Tonks started.

"RELEASE HIM THIS INSTANT!" Moody barked.

Tonks just gaped at him. Moody never favoured any suspects. It wasn't like him to just go about releasing suspects. But she wasn't going to question her senior's order. So she quietly released the spell which had chained Remus to the desk.

"Well thank you Mad-eye. I'll see you later." Remus said. He turned to look at her captor but instead of the old lady he found there standing a young witch with short spiky hair which were right now blazing red, with a heart-shaped face and those eyes which had intrigued him so much. Before he could question anything about this change, Moody said, "Remus I think you should leave."

Remus nodded, gave Tonks a curt nod and left.

"Nymphadora, come to my cabin. I need to talk you about something." Moody said.

Tonks silently followed him, too confused to comment on the use of her hated name.

After reaching his cabin, Moody locked and silenced the room, turned a gravelly face towards Tonks and asked her, "Tonks, do you know anything about the Order of the Phoenix from the first wizarding war?"

"No. 12, Grimmauld Place! How ironic that the headquarters of the organization of the society formed to fight evil should be one of the most evil places in London!" Tonks said to Moody. "Well, I guess charity begins at home." she muttered.

After learning about the Order and its purpose, Tonks felt only right that she should join. After all, as an Auror she felt that it was her duty to protect the innocent. She also learned about her cousin, who was not only innocent but also a captive in his own house right now. She couldn't wait to meet him.

"Tonks, remember to walk slowly down the hall." Moody said.

"Don't worry Mad-eye, I know when to be caref-AWW!"

Thud!
Tonks, who was looking over her shoulder while answering Moody, didn't see the troll-leg umbrella stand and fell over it making a complete racket.

Suddenly from her left, the curtains flew back to display a painting of an old woman who was screeching at her, "Shape-shifting freaks! Filths! Disgrace to the noble house of my ancestors!"

"Strange! Shape-shifting freaks? That's usually reserved for me." said a familiar voice. A hand came in the field of her vision and the main said, "Need help?"

She looked up and that's when Remus looked down.

"YOU!"

They both screamed.
