A/N: I'm going to skip this A/N, and put it later.
Chapter 5: Meet Moony
Tonks couldn't figure anything out, and Ashley –who was always the smart, reliable side of there friendship- was currently not speaking to her.
How had everything gotten so... weird in the last week? It was too much.
Professor Lupin? Best friends with... Sirius?
Sirius was Tonks' favorite cousin! He was not a murder; her mother said so (and Tonks agreed). He was just too kind.
Tonks knew deep down that Sirius had somehow, someway, been framed. But Remu- Professor Lupin was so set against him. His best friend!
She rolled over, and snuggled deeper into her blanket. But, what if she and her mother were wrong? What if her favorite cousin was a crazed murder?
It was too much.
'I'll just go to sleep,' Tonks thought to herself, 'and I'll deal with all of...this tomorrow.'
Within seconds, she was asleep.
A/N2: okay, this next little part is Tonks' dream, while, in all actuality, it is a memory. She is... let's say... seven.
Tonks was in backyard, swinging on the tiny red swing her father had made for her a few years ago. There were voices floating through the back door. She strained to hear them clearly.
"Oh, yes. She's right in back..."
"I hope she won't mind..."
She bit her lip excitedly. Was it? It couldn't be! She jumped off of the swing as two figures came outside. Her mother, and-
"Sirius!" She cried, running into her nineteen year old cousin's arms.
"Hey, there, Dora! How are you, now that you're favorite cousin's here?" He asked automatically.
"Much better!" Tonks replied. This was they're custom greeting. She gave him a hug and grinned.
"Well, lookie there!" Sirius exclaimed, setting her down. "My wee baby cousin's lost herself a tooth!"
Her mother pointed her finger at her nephew. "Don't you be giving her money, Sirius. We stopped that last year." She smiled and went back into the house.
Once Sirius was sure that his aunt was gone, he slipped something out of his pocket, and into her hand. A Galleon.
She smiled, and wrapped her arms around his waist in a hug. "Thank you!"
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from inside the house, and a tall, gangly-looking boy stumbled outside.
"For Merlin's sake, Moony! Are you trying to knock down my aunt's house completely?"
The boy, who was obviously named Moony, grinned impishly.
"Anyhow, Moony, this is my littlest cousin, Dora. Dora, meet Moony."
