DISCLAIMER: I do not own any character or dialogue that you might recognize, they belong to JK Rowling. I'm just having fun with them.
PS: English is not my first language, so any comment about that is well received.
So, here I am, again, with another Remadora story. This story has been haunting my mind for almost two months now and I had to get it out. In this we find Tonks going to Hogwarts in the Marauders era, and we get to see her life from there till her adult life. I hope to make a different story with this, I don't like this kind of stories when they make Tonks have 0 friends apart from Remus and the marauders or things like that, so I hope you enjoy this new story. I have already the last chapter planned so I only have to write the middle LOL.
The prologue and the first chapter I guess(? Will be in her first year, the rest will go from the fourth.
Enjoy!
OF BROKEN PROMISES
"There are three things you should never break; promises, thrust and someone's heart"
"¡HUFFLEPUFF!" she heard the screaming of the sorting hat and she jumped and went to her house's table.
"Hello, how are you?" the girl next to her asked politely.
"Wotcher! I'm good, you?"
"Fine, I'm Hestia Jones" the girl smiled.
"I'm Nymphadora Tonks" she responded the way her mother had taught her, flinching a little at the sound of her name.
As two other people were sorted, she tried to look to the farthest table, where there were people with red and gold ties, looking for something that could tell her which one was that cousin that her mother had said should've been a year above her.
"Who are you looking for?" Hestia asked.
"Don't know" she responded as she heard another name. Emmeline Vance.
Seconds later she heard the hat screaming ¡Hufflepuff! and saw Hestia smiling.
"Hello" an older student said as she was sitting beside them as soon as they had stopped eating "I'm am Amelia Bones, the head girl"
"Wotcher, I'm Nymphadora, Nymphadora Tonks" she responded shyly and she heard the other first years who were sitting near introduce themselves.
Amelia smiled at them and spoke again "I just you to know that if you need anything, just ask. The head boy is from Ravenclaw, Kingsley, but since we are in the same house, you can me ask for anything you need"
"Thank you" Tonks responded and received a smile from the head girl.
"Now, as soon as the feast is over you are going to follow the 5th year prefects and they will lead you to the common room, your things are already there so don't worry about it"
"And how will we know how to enter?" Hestia asked her "my brother said it was a secret".
"The prefect will tell you" Amelia said standing up and grinning "enjoy the rest of the feast, see you later"
After a little conversation with Emmeline and Hestia, and the other two first year girls, Charlotte and Bianca and exchanging some words with the boys, the feast was finished and soon after they were following the prefects to what seemed to be the basement.
"First Years! First Years!" the girl prefect said "pay close attention.
"The entrance to the common room is right here" the boy said pointing to a stack of barrels and Dora looked at Emmeline confused "to enter you have to tap them to a specific rhythm" and he proceeded to show them.
"What if I don't do it right?" one of the boys asked.
"You get splashed out with vinegar" the prefect said and sooner than later sounds of disgust were heard.
She couldn't help but worry, she had inherited her mother clumsiness – even though her mother would deny such a thing – so she was sure she would get vinegar on her at least once.
When they entered the common room she was enchanted with it, it was circular and seemed really cozy, it had a yellow-ish paint and plants hanging from the windows, the painting that were there were waving at them and the fat friar – who had introduced himself earlier – was there too. Her favorite painting was the one she recognized as Newt Scamander, the famous magizoologist, with a Niffler who seemed to be fighting him.
"Girls, follow me" the prefect said.
After a few minutes of following her through a passage and some stairs, they stopped in front of a door.
"Well, I leave you here, your things are already inside, so get in, have a chat and enjoy your first night" the prefect smiled at them and left.
Charlotte opened the door and they stepped in what was going to be their room for the rest of the school year.
Nymphadora's things were the closest to the door on the right side, and since she didn't mind being there she didn't argue about her bed, although she did see Charlotte and Hestia echanging beds since apparently Charlotte preferred to be near the door too. So, the order was Emmeline in the middle of the circle that the bed made, Bianca besides Charlotte and Hestia besides Nymphadora. They put on their pyjamas and talked a little about themselves to get to know each other better.
After a while she went to sleep thinking that she had to let her parents know that she went for the Tonks's side and had gotten into Hufflepuff but first she was going to sleep with a smile on her face, she was finally at Hogwarts.
