Chapter 7

Tonks emerged from the bathroom, clean and in the pyjamas Remus had given her, her blood stained clothes lying on the bathroom floor. She looked paler than she did a few minutes ago. He took her hand and led her to the bed where she wearily climbed in. He tucked the warm sheets around her making certain she was comfortable.

'Sleep Dora' he ordered. She smiled hazily up at him 'Thank you.' He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead in a bold move. Her emotions displayed on her face did not change.

'And if you need me I'll be here.' Remus continued setting himself down in an armchair by her bed. He turned out the lights, watching over Molly's 'poor girl' who had promptly fallen asleep.
