Morning After.
Severus walked into number twelve Grimmauld place and found Tonks sitting in the kitchen table. She was currently eating breakfast. "Hello Severus," she said cheerily as she looked up at him. Her hair was currently mousy brown and reached her waist. She still had her heart shaped face with the small nose.
"Where's Lupin?" he asked in response as he looked around he room. She got up and made her way to the sink. She put her dishes in the sink. She was wearing blue jeans and had a baggy black shirt on with the Wierd Sisters name on it. She turned to look at him and leaned against the sink.
"He's not up yet. He's tired from last nights Transformation," she responded. He merely noded, while an eyebrow was raised in speculation. Tonks grabbed a lock of her mousy brown hair and started to study it. "Should I turn my hair red or black?" she asked as she continued to look at the lock of hair.
"Aren't you suppose to pick up Potter?" he asked ignoring her question about her hair. He didn't much care about her hair color and he wanted to know why she hadn't gone to pick up that brat Potter. He saw her screw up her hair in concertration as she began to turn her hair red. It started at the roots and soon ended all the way at the tips. She than turned it curly. She than finally looked up at him.
"Dumbledore had a change of plans. I was suppose to keep watch over him last night, but he decided that last night, the job would better suit someone else," she responded. She looked at her lock of hair again and decided that she didn't like curls. She turned her hair wavy instead. "Does it look better like this?" she asked him as she looked at a lock of wavy red hair. He sighed in exasperation. He didn't know what he had to do make it get through to her that he did not care what shade or what the texture her hair was.
"Who kept watch over the brat than?" he asked once again ignoring her question.
"Cynthia," she responded. "She'll be bringing Harry over." Severus merely stared at her.
"Won't she be tired from her transformation?" he asked. Tonks shrugged.
"I suppose she will, but she volunteered," Tonks responded. At that moment the kitchen door opened and Cynthia walked in soon followed by Harry. She looked extremely pale, but other that that she looked normal. She wore all black and her black hair was loose. There was a certain lock with a red hightlight in it that was covering her left eye. Harry had walked in, seemigly with alot of energy, but as his eyes fell on Severus he frowned.
"Hello Tonks, Severus," she said as she looked at them.She looked around the room and than turned back to them. "Where's Remus?" she asked Tonks.
"He's not up yet. He's very tire from last night," she responded. Cynthia noded in understanding. She knew exactly how he felt. Even if she was a weretiger and the transfomation was different from a werewoves, it still took a lot of energy out of her. "Harry you can go up stairs and wake up Ron," Tonks said as she looked at Harry. He noded and left the room as fast as he could. Tonks than turned her attention back to Cynthia. "How are you this morning?" she asked.
"My body's sore from sleeping on the ground, I didn't sleep last night because I was watching over Harry and I'm at a complete loss of evergy because of the transformation, but I'm feeling well enough," She responded lazily. Both Severus and Tonks noded in response, not knowing what to say to that. Severus stared at Cynthia, compelled to look at her. Her beauty entranzed him. "What happened to Bella?" She suddenly asked. Severus raised a brow at this question.
"Dumbledore has her for questionning," Tonks responded.
"Why does he have Lestrange?" Severus asked.
"When Cynthias vigil started, Harry went out for a walk. We both followed him. Bella tried to attack him, but Cynthia attacked her before she had the chance. Bella knocked out cold and I took her to Dumbledore while Cynthia walked Harry home," Tonks explained. Severus than turned to look at Cynthia. He was about to ask her something, but she raised her hand to stop him.
"NO I didn't bite or scrath Bella, she is not infected," she said lazily. Tonks was momentarily confused, but shrugged it off. She turned to look at Severus, who was currently looking at Cynthia. A sudden question came to Tonks and she turned to look at Cynthia.
"What do you think about Harry?" Tonks asked as she looked at Cynthia. Cynthia turned to look at Tonks and shrugged.
"He's a nice and polite kid," she responded lazily. At this statement a sneer came over Severus' face. Tonks merely rolled her eyes when she saw the sneer on his face and she turned her attention to Cynthia. Cynthia was staring at Snape with a raised brow. She wondered why he was sneering.
"He doesn't like Harry," Tonks explained. Cynthia than noded in understanding.
"He's an insuferable boy and is every inch like his father," Snape spat. Cynthia merely noded. She turned to the table and walked over to it and sat down. She felt rather tired and needed to rest a little before attempting to apparate to her house. She didn't quite feel completely stable just yet.
At that moment, a very grodgy looking Remus walked into the kitchen. Everyone turned to look at him except for Cynthia, whom was currently resting her head on her arms. She was very tired. However, you could hear her taking in deep breaths of air, clearly trying to get Remus' scent. "Hello Remus!" Tonks said upbeatly.
"Goodmorning Tonks, Severus," he said sleepily before plopping down next to Cynthia. Severus and Tonks both than just walked over and sat across from the two lyncanthropes. "How was your night Cynthia?" he asked. Cynthia looked up at him.
"I'll assure you, yours was better," she responded. "I'm going to colapse. I think that I should go," she said as she stood up.
"Do you really think that you can manage to make your magic stable enough to apparate to your house?" Tonks asked as she looked at Cynthia with worry filled eyed. Cynthia surpressed a yawn and tried to respond.
"No, I am not yet stable, but I'll merely take the Knight bus," she responded. Remus looked suddenly awake.
"I don't think that it's such a good Idea that you go alone. Perhaps someone should go with you," he said.
"I'll acompany you, I have nothing else to do at the moment," Severus said. Everyone turned to look at him, for he had not said anything for a while and on top of that he was actually offering to do someone a favor. Cynthia merely noded in response.
"Well I'll see you two some other time," Cynthia said to Tonks and Remus. They both noded and soon Severus and Cynthia stepped out. They walked side by side up the stairs in silence. They walked outside and soon got on the Knight Bus. When on the bus they sat down all the way in the back. "How was your night?" Cynthia asked as they sat down across from each other. She turned to look at him at the very same time that he did.
"Had to take a sleeping potion to go to sleep, but as of late that is nothing out of the norm," he responded. The bus started to go down the street very quickly.
"What plagues you?" she asked looking alert and actually interested and not noticing the driving.
"Nothing," he responded. At that moment there was a very sharp hair pinned turn. On the count that Cynthia wasn't holding on, she flew across and landed on Severus lap. In the process she flung her arms around his neck and held tight and his hands had automatically gone around her waist so she wouldn't fall. When the bus started to run straight again, she pulled away and looked into his eyes. "Are you all right?" he asked as he looked into her eyes. His arms where still securely around her waist as she was still sitting in his lap with her arms arund his neck.
"Yes I'm fine," she responded as she looked into his black cold eyes. But at the moment they where not cold, but sparkling. They both where slowly drawing closer to each other to place a kiss on each other lips, but before their lips could make contact, someone interupted them.
"Severus?" someone suddenly asked. Cynthia imediately got off his lap and sat across from him. She didn't want to look up to see whom was asking for she already knew who it was, it was Dedalus Diggle. She looked at Severus who had gone very pale, but otherwise looked like his normal arrogant self. "What are you and Cynthia doing?" he asked. At that moment the Knight Bus stopped and Cynthia stood up.
"This is my stop, got to go. Thank you for accompanying me home Severus, I can make it from here. See you later Severus, Dedalus," Cynthia said hurriedly as she got off the Knight Bus. When she walked very quickly inside her house and did not look back once. As soon as she walked into her house, she ran her hands through her head. She didn't know exactly what Dedalus had seen and she was hoping that he would not coment about it to her mother. That would not do for a very pleasent conversation.
She sighed and made her way up the stairs to her bedroom. She was sure that her mother would find out about it and she was sure that something would happen, but for now all she wanted to do was sleep. She would deal with everything else later, when she was well rested.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update sooner, but I'm writting three stories at once, I have alot of homework to do, I have to raise three F's that I have and there's alot going on in my family. I'll try to update and write more.
