*******************************
"Sirius Black." The words pierced my heart, bringing tears back into my eyes, and memories of the man I loved flashed before me.
*FLASHBACK*
"Come on Nymphadora!" the young boy shouted.
"I told you Black! NEVER call me Nymphadora! I get enough of that from Remus!" a young witch replied, her natural dark hair long and wavy, blowing in the wind, and into her heart shaped face.
"I know you did, I just use it to annoy you, cuz I love the look on your face when I say it."
"Well take a picture, it'll last longer!"
"Oh come on Nym-, I mean Tonks...Lighten up!" The witch just ignored Sirius, and walked past him into the Three Broomsticks.
"Tonks!" he shouted after her, as he ran to catch up. But just as he reached her, she stopped and turned around. Sirius, not expecting this, ran right into her, causing them to fall to the floor.
*ENDFLASHBACK*
Tonks remembered the look in his eyes as he fell on her, his dark eyes shown like the moon, and he had a grin upon his face that could have melted any girls heart in 2 seconds flat.
"Well Nymphadora Tonks, I do believe I have fallen for you," he had said, before kissing her softly on the lips in front of everyone in the pub.
She snapped back into reality when the people around her began asking questions with great concern.
"How long have you known?"
"Why didn't either of you tell us?"
"What will become of the baby?"
"What will you do now with war at hand?"
"How could you do it?"
"ENOUGH!" shouted a voice, causing everyone to stop talking, "Why not give her a chance to talk?"
`Thank you Remus," I said to herself, `Oh how do I start this......?' I tucked a piece of my now, shoulder length dark brown hair behind my ear.
"None of you knew Sirius like I did, well maybe you Remus, but that's not the point. The point is, I loved Sirius, with all my heart, and still do. That's why we did it in the first place. I understand what we did seems stupid, but neither of us saw his death coming, and certainly not so soon. As for telling any of you, Sirius didn't even know. He was killed before either of us knew, and for the past two weeks I've been having a full out battle in my head about how I would tell you all, so please just give me a break!" I practically yelled, now full out crying. "And as for all your other stupid questions I don't know! I have no idea what to do! I'm just as confused as the rest of you! I wish I could just erase it all! Sirius dying, You-Know-Who returning, the war..., but I'll tell you all right now, I will have and keep this baby because this is all I have left of him, and none of you will take it away from me!" I was full out yelling now, and I ran out of the room. I was so angry, at them, at myself, at Sirius, so I purposely knocked over the umbrella stand, waking up Sirius's mum.
"FILTHY HALF-BREEDS! MUDBLOODS! CREATURES OF DIRT! SCUM! BLOOD TRAITORS!"
And as I walked out of Number 12 Grimmauld Place, I rang the doorbell at least ten times before I apporated into the night.
REMUS'S POV:
Tonks outburst and disappearance caused quiet a commotion through out the Order, as people looked through the entire house, (even though it was obvious that she wasn't here you could hear her slam the door, and ring the doorbell), and I tried to close Mrs. Blacks curtain.
"Remus," Dumbledore said as he came over to me to help out.
"Yes sir?!"
"Please find Tonks, and escort her back here! Take as much time as you need!"
"All right, I think I may have an idea where she went! I'll be back later!" Dumbledore gave me a nod as we closed the curtain, and I apparated.
Tonks POV:
I was in a muggle park, sitting on a small bridge, overlooking a large pond. It was late, so I knew no muggles would see me here. I sat there, my robes wrapped tightly around me, and my legs dangling above the water. The moon was shining brightly, its reflection glimmering on the cool, dark water. I was so angry at the lot of them, confused at how they couldn't understand, how I could never understand. My tears were many as they slid off my face, and fell into the water; their ripples going and going, until the last one reached the moons reflection, causing it to dissolve.
In its place, I saw Sirius's face. Not the dark, sulken, hopeless face, but the sweet, charming, handsome face I fell in love with...
"How could you do this to me!? Sirius?! How could you do this to us?! How could you let this happen?!" I screamed at the darkness.
"He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen Tonks, but they did, and there's nothing we can do about it."
I turned my head, looking up at Remus as he walked out of the shadows.
"How long have you been standing there? I asked him quietly, trying to hide my tears.
"Not long, I've only just arrived."
"How did you find me?"
"Sirius told me once that this was your favorite place in London and that you came here all the time." he told me, as he sat down next to me.
"My father always took me here when I was little. We'd skip stones over there," I said as I pointed across the pond." We would try to see who could skip farthest to the bridge. And when a stone would reach it, my father and I would try and run as fast as we could, up onto the bridge, before the ripples disappeared. We could never do it, I was always to slow. But we did it any ways...It didn't really mean anything, silly actually, but it was just something we could share."
"It's not silly. At least you had a father."
"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"My father walked out on me and my mum after I got bit and all. Couldn't bring himself to accepting that he had a werewolf for a son."
"Oh Remus, I'm sorry, I didn't..."
"Don't worry about it." he said. We didn't say any thing after that, we just sat there, enjoying each others company. But after about a half hour, Remus stood up, and took my hand.
"What?"
"Sh...come on."
"Where are we going?" I asked as he led me off the bridge.
"You'll see," was all he said.
