Tonks

Charlie Weasley/Nymphadora Tonks


Nymphadora wished that she didn't agree to help Charlie with his latest prank. The tunnel was too cold!

"Come on, Dora." Charlie took her hands in his. "I know you can do this!"

His lips brushed hers, and she nodded, pulling the robes on. Seconds later, a sour-faced potions-master stood in her place.

"Brilliant," Charlie said, laughing at the sight of him.

"Obviously," she drawled, raising an eyebrow, before shifting closer to Charlie. He backed into the wall, looking slightly repulsed.

"Ewww not when you look like Snape," he said, his face paling slightly as hers/Snape's came inches from his.

She started laughing at the look on his face. "Serves you right, putting me up to this!" She swooped in, landing a kiss on his cheek.

"Yuck!" he exclaimed. "Dora! We need to get the last ingredients and Snape has the whole potions storeroom on lockdown since last time. We can't even get near it. The only other way is to buy it from the shop. This isn't the time for joking around!" He looked relieved when she backed up.

"I kiss you, and you say 'yuck'!?"

"I don't mind /you/ kissing me. I just don't want Severus Snape kissing me!"

She sniggered. "Okay. What do we need?"

He tapped her throat with his wand, to help change her voice, before handing over a list. "I wrote it down, so you won't have to do much talking."

She nodded, starting forward and stumbling over the robes.

"It's a wonder you don't trip over your own feet."

"Sometimes I do," she sighed. "Know any spells to stop it happening?"

...oOo…

The door chimed and she walked in, heading straight to the counter. "I require these ingredients," she said, pushing the parchment towards the man. She couldn't help the nerves - what if the man saw through her disguise somehow?

Thankfully, the man didn't see anything amiss, but nodded. "Twelve sickles," he stated, turning to get the requested ingredients from the shelves behind him.

She reached into her pocket and internally panicked. Charlie still had the money! She frowned, searching to see if she had brought her own, when the door opened quickly, the bell chiming.

"You… dropped this… uh, Professor," Charlie said, handing the pouch over.

"Thanks baby," she muttered quietly. "Are you going to wait and walk me back?"

He nodded, quickly leaving. Dora turned back to the counter where the man was looking between her and Charlie with his mouth wide open in shock.

She placed the sickles on the counter and gave the man her best glare. The man quickly looked away.

...oOo…

Once back in the tunnel, she began to giggle.

"What? What's so funny?"

"He thought we were together. Not me and you… you and Snape," she laughed, wishing Charlie had seen his face. "His face was priceless! He thinks Snape is having an affair with a student!"

"That's not funny," Charlie muttered.

"Oh but it is," Dora laughed. "Just wait till the rumours that he's gay start!"
