It was finally the weekened. Severus had marked all of his papers the night before so that now he could have the day off to go to Hogsmeade. He knew Tonks didn't usually work at the weekend but he quite liked the thought of going there anyway. She might just happen to be there, in which case he would insist on keeping her company. Hopefully she would be alone.
Unfortunately for him though, when he arrived there was large numbers of Aurors swarming the area and he stood no hope in hell of finding Tonks. He was really beginning to feel deprived, having not seen her for several days now, but he guessed the following day would be a dead cert. An Order meeting involving every member of the Order. Sure, he hated seeing all of the others but to see Tonks made it all worthwhile.
