Author's Note: I know it's taken me a long time to update! Sorry! Please bear with me! I WILL finish this story I promise!

Remus burst through the door, sweat pouring down his face despite the cold. "Rosie!" he shouted. "ROSIE!"

"She's asleep. Thanks for leaving her alone, by the way. You're supposed to be the 'responsible' one!" Tonks emerged from the kitchen eating a chocolate frog. Her eyes widened as she saw her husband. "You're bleeding!"

Remus reached up to his face and looked at his hand. It was red with blood. Greyback must have broken his skin when he hit him. "Is Rosie all right? Has anyone been here?"

Tonks was alarmed by the urgent tone of his voice. "No one's been here. Remus, what's wrong?"

"Rosie told you that I went back to the park to get Hephaestus?"

Tonks nodded. "Did you get it? She was near to tears-"

He irritably pulled the damp duck out of his pocket and flung it on the sofa. His copy of the Daily Prophet was stuck to it. He snatched it up, riffled through the soggy pages, and thrust it at Tonks. "Read that," he said, pointing at the Greyback article.

Puzzled, Tonks read it. She snorted and dropped it onto the coffee table. "Ridiculous! We haven't gotten any reports about Greyback in London! An Auror I know is tracking him in Scotland! I would like to know who wrote this, too; bloody horrible writer-"

"Greyback attacked me just now in the park."

Tonks paled. "What?"

Remus dropped onto the sofa and hid his face in his hands.

"Remus, I swear, the Ministry knew nothing…"

"Typical," he said bitterly. He looked up and saw Tonks's hurt face. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "It's just…"

Tonks went into the kitchen and brought out a damp washcloth for Remus's face. She handed to him and he held it to his bleeding cheek. "What happened?"

Remus told her how Greyback had attacked and threatened him. Tonks's face grew graver with every word. When Remus told her about the threats on Rosie's life, she got up and started pacing.

"He will…bite her…he may even kill her," Remus said. "And then he'll kill me."

"I'll get the Ministry on it," Tonks said. "I'll go now."

"Don't," Remus said firmly. "Greyback may be watching…"

Tonks clenched her hands into fists. "Tomorrow, then. Kingsley will help."

She paused for a moment and looked down the hall to Rosie's room. "What about Rosie? Greyback knows we're here."

Remus nodded. "I think I know what to do. I'll take her to 12 Grimmauld Place."

Tonks nodded. "They should be in tomorrow. It's his day off…"

"Right. Tomorrow, go to work as normal. Alert the other Aurors. I'll Apparate from here to 12 Grimmauld Place with Rosie and I'll be here when you get back."

"You're not going to stay there?" Tonks asked, frowning.

Remus shook his head. "Greyback can't know that I've hidden her."

The clock chimed two o'clock. "You'd better get some sleep," Remus said.

As Tonks shook her head, her normally shocking pink hair faded to a soft pink. "There's no way I'll be able to sleep tonight." She sat down next to her husband and he put his arm around her shoulders. They sat there in silence until Rosie woke up.
