"Remus! Remus! Remus! Remus! Remus! REMUS! WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE
UUUUUUUUUUP!"
Remus finally opened one eye and glared at Tonks, who beamed down at him.
deciding she wasn't worth his time, he promptly closed his eye again and rolled over.
"Remus! No, wake up!" Tonks said, then sighed. "C'mon! i just remembered something i was supposed to tell you!"
Groaning slightly, Remus reached over out of the sheltered cove of his blankets and moved his alarm clock (Muggle invention - wonderful things) so that the red numbers glowed surremptuously.
"TONKS, IT'S FIVE-THIRTY-TWO IN THE MORNING!!"
"i know," Tonks said, apparently happy that Remus had figured this out so fast. "we're late."
realizing that he was obviously not going to get any more sleep, Remus sat up with a groan and glared at Tonks, who only broadened her care-free grin.
"What are we late for, Tonks?" he asked, using a calm voice.
"Sirius! we've got to pick him up! i told Sirius that we'd get him the moment it was the next day, so that's 12:01 isn't it? but it's already five something! c'mon, we've got to go get him!"
Remus stared at her, somewhat incredulous.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"Well, imagine if Sirius were dead! we've gotta make him happy, or he might DIIIIIIIE!" Tonks explained matter-of-factly. the devotion Tonks held for her cousin was surprising.
Remus gave her a shrewd look. "Sirius can wait." he said, a bit more firmly than he intended to. however, he seemed to have gotten a message across, because Tonks backed off slightly, raising her bright green eyebrows.
happy with this acknowledgement, Remus rolled over and buried himself once more in his bed, and was almost asleep when.....
"Okay, you're grumpy because you didn't have your nap, i understand. BUT we've got to! C'MON! WAKE UP!"
Tonks bounded onto his bed and bounced on it with each word: "GET - UP - GET - UP - GET - UP - GET - UP - GET - UP - GET - UP" and so on and so on.
thirty minutes later, Remus, fully dressed, was leaning against the fireplace yawning while Tonks stared at herself in a mirror, finally deciding on shoulder length orange hair and big blue eyes.
"Ready to go?" she asked brightly, grabbing an unnecessarily large amount of floo powder and flinging it into the fireplace with all of her might. "Hey!" she cried when nothing happened.
"Tonks..... we might want to light a fire first...." Remus murmured.
"..... oh..." Tonks realized. "... yes, that would be a good idea..."
