Mother Knows Best?
"Hello Tonks," Cynthia said as she walked into the kitchen of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place that evening. There was to be an Order meeting in about two hours. She had come early in the hopes of sieng Remus, but he wasn't in at the moment. So she had come to see Tonks. She was currently in the Kitchen with Ron and Harry. Mr and Mrs. Weasley would be arriving shortly. "Hello Harry," she said. She than turned to the boy who was staring at her intently.
"Hello Cynthia," Tonks said. "Cynthia this here is Ron, Ron this is Cynthia. She is McGoneall's daughter." She said. The boys eyes went wide and a smile came over her face. She shook the boys hand.
"Nice to meet you," she said with a smile. He merely noded, unable to respond.
"Well I see that you feel better," Tonks said as she looked up at Cynthia. Cynthia smiled and sat down next to Tonks, across from Ron and Harry.
"Oh yes, it's amazing what sleep can do for you," she said with a smile. She than looked at Ron. "So Ron, tell me about yourself," she said as she turned to look at him. He blushed.
"Well I'm the youngest boy in my family. I have a sister and five brothers. I am the keeper for the Griffindor quidditch team and I am a Prefect. That's pretty much all there is to me," he said as he looked at her. She smiled at him warmly.
"My mother has told me alot about you. She says that you are a good young man and that you don't work up to yor full potential," Cynthia said as she looked at him. He blushed to the roots of his hair. "She forgot to mention that you where bashful," she said as she looked at him. "What's you're favorite subject?" she asked as she looked at him.
"I don't have one," he said. She raised an eyebrow and smiled. She found that to be so very typical. Most young boys didn't seem to really like any of their classes, although, she had met alot that actually liked Defence Against the Dark Arts. "Not even Defence Against the Darks Arts?" she asked as she looked at him.
"Only if it's Professor Lupin teaching it," he responded. The color had finally left his face.
"Yes, Harry told me about that," she said. All of a sudden Tonks grabbed her by the arm. "What?" she asked as she turned to see Tonks. Tonks' eyes where sparkling. She stood up and pulled Cynthia up with her.
"I need to talk to you about something, unrgetnly," Tonks said as she dragged Cynthia out of the kitchen, up the stairs and down the hall. Cynthia wondered what the hell it was that Tonks had to talk to her about that she dragged her out of the kitchen like that. She dragged Cynthia down the hall and up the stairs. When they reached the first landing they walked down into an empty room. Tonks pushed Cynthia inside the room and closed the door behind them.
"What?" Cynthia asked as Tonks turned around to looked at her. Tonks walked over to her and grabbed her. She pulled her by the arm towards the bed and they both sat down. She looked at her and a mischevious grin came over her face.
"What's going on between you and Severus?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"What are you talking about?" Cynthia asked, forgetting about the incident from earlier in the day.
"What's going on between you and Severus? I heard that you where sitting in his lap and that you two where snogging in the back of the Kinght Bus," Tonks said as she looked at her. Cynthia furrowed her brows as she looked at Tonks. Where did she get that from, Cynthia wondered to herself. She had done nothing of the sort! Well not really.
"Who told you that?" She asked as she looked at her.
"Remus," Tonks responded.
"Who told him?" she asked.
"Moody," she responded.
"Who told him?" she asked.
"I DON"T KNOW. DID YOU?" Tonks asked as she looked at her.
"NO!" she responded. "Well not really. We wheren't SNOGING. The bus had made a very sharp turn, I wasn't holding on to anything, so I fell into Severus' lap. Our faces where quite close, so I could see where Diggle would have mistaken it," she responded.
"Remus told me that, he heard that Severus had his hands around your waist and that you had your arms around his neck. He told me that you guys where leaning into each other," Tonks said.
"Okay we kinda where, but we didn't kiss. We pulled apart from each other as soon as we heard Diggle," she responded. Tonks than raised an eyebrow.
"So there is something going on between you and Severus," Tonks said.
"No, we're not together. It was a one time thing, I think," she responded as she looked at Tonks.
"Do you like him?" Tonks asked.
"I don't want to talk about this," she said getting up. Tonks grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit back down.
"Come on, I won't tell anyone," Tonks said.
"Okay, yes I do. I like him alot. There is just something about him that makes him completely attractive to me. And I love his voice!" Cynthia said. "Do you remember that night at Club Dread?" she asked as she looked at her, Tonks noded. "When I was getting my drink, he came up behind me and whispered something in my ear and the way his voice sounded made a shiver run down my spine. He did that two more times that night and it caused the same effect on me."
"Well he does have a very appealing voice," Tonks commented as she thought about it. His voice was very velvety and she figured that when it sounded husky it was probably something very sexy to hear.
"Well when I brought him into the guest room and when in there, he.... he... well he started to ... kiss me. I don't know if he remembers that he did that, because he was very drunk, but it felt so good. And I like him alot. Of course nothing happened that night, but I wouldn't really mind if something did," Cynthia said. Tonks noded in understanding.
At that moment McGonegall opened the door and walked into the room. She looked livid. Cynthia and Tonks both stood up, both where startled. "Tonks will you please excuse us?" she asked. Tonks noded and walked out of the room. As she walked outside the door was closed behind her. Tonks stuck her ear on the door to listen to what was bieng said. "Cynthia what where you thinking? What where you doing sitting on Severus' lap? Did I not specifically tell you that I wanted you anywhere near him?" she bellowed at her.
"Mother, it's okay. I wasn't doing anything-" Cynthia started before Minerva interupted her.
"Cynthia do not lie to me! I know you better than that. What where you doing?" she asked.
"I'm not lying," Cynthia said loudly.
"Oh you just happen to fall in his lap with your arms around him and his arms just happened to wrap around your waist," Minerva said sarcastically.
"That's exactly what happened!" Cynthia exclaimed.
"Do you really expect me to believe that? No matter, you are never to see him again. I do not want you to be alone with him. Do you understand?" she asked. Cynthia merely stared at her mom. She couldn't believe that she was treating her like a little girl. "Do you understand?!"
"Yes mother," she snapped.
"Good," Minerva said. She than twirled around and walked out of the room. She was cearly still in a rage. Once Minerva left Tonks walked into the room and looked at Cynthia.
"What are you going to do?" Tonks asked. Cynthia stood there for a moment in thought. She looked past Tonks and stared at the wall. She remembered that when she was younger her mother forced her to join the Quidditch team. She had joined it and been the best player on the team, but when her mom shoved it in her face that she was right that made her begin to dislike playing the game. When her mom told her that she could not have a pet Snake, she had kept it anyway and hid it from her. When her mom told her that she could never get a tattoo, she went out and got one anyway. She had never been one to be told what to do.
"I'm going to disobey her, like always. When she forbids me from doing things that usually causes me to do it more. Mother knows best? That has never been the case for me," Cynthia responded as she looked at Tonks. Tonks merely noded in response. She knew what that was like. She was the same way when she was growing up. Her mom and dad always forbade things from her and she always disobeyed them. They had to realize that they can't forbid things to them.
"Well we should go down. I'm guessing that Order members are begining to arrive. I think that the meeting will be starting soon," Tonks said. She noded and together they walked out of the room and towards the door. She very much disliked the way her mother still treated her like a small fifteen year old girl. Like she didn't realize that she was no longer a girl. That she was in fact a woman.
As they neared the bottom of the steps, they could see a crowd of Order members standing there. They soon walked down the hall. Tonks had hurried away from Cynthia as soon as she had spotted Remus in the crowd. Cynthia merely watched as all the Order members proceeded to the kitchen door. As soon as she got off the stairs Severus came in. The moment he walked in, his eyes fell on her. "Thank you very much for this afternoon!" he hissed lowly at her. He was about to talk away, but she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into a nearby closet. It was a small closet and it was dimly lit, but she could at least speak to him in there. "What are you doing? You do realize that we are in a closet don't you?" he asked. They both seemed to notice how close they where to each other. They where merely a foot apart. She could practically feel his breath on her skin.
"Yes I do realize that it is a closet. It's just that I don't want my mother to see us." She started out but he soon interupted her.
"Why is that?" he asked as he looked at her.
"Well apparently she had heard about the incident today in the morning and she thinks that there is something going on between us and she doesn't want me to be anywhere near you anymore," she responded.
"And you're obeying her?" he asked as he looked at her. One of his eyesbrows was up.
"Well if I was I wouldn't be talking to you at the moment, now would I?" she asked as she looked up at him.
"Well if you weren't you wouldn't be speaking to me in a closet, now would you?" He asked as he looked down on her.
"Well would you want to put up with her rage?" she asked as she looked at him. He didn't say anything in response. "Thought so. Well anyway, I'm sorry about this morning. It's just that, well it was my stop and I thought that you should just deal with that. By the way what happened?" she asked with a smile on her face. He glared down at her, which only caused her to smile more.
"Well he sat down next to me and started to ask me an endless stream of embarrassing questions," he responded as he looked down at her. She could see him glaring at her and that caused her to smile even more. "It isn't funny," he stated.
"Come on Severus, you have to find the humour in it," she said as she looked at him. He merely stared down at her.
"I don't think that you would find humour in it if you where the one being asked the questions," he responded as he looked at her.
"You're right, I'm sorry. Can I make it up to you?" she asked as she looked up at him. He raised a right brow and stared down at her. His eyes soon wandered to her lips. She noted this and watched as he stared at them intently. His hand wandered to her face and he gently grabed her chin. He ran his thumb over her lower lip.
"May I?" he asked as his eyes looked into hers. She stared into his eyes.
"With what intentions?" she asked as she looked at him. He looked into her eyes and he could see them sparkle.
"I think you know the answer well," he said as he looked into her eyes. She smiled at him as she looked into his black eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his head down. When their lips touched, they didn't move for a second. They soon began to move their lips against each others and she felt his arms wrap around her waist. They pulled apart when they could no longer breath.
"We should go," she said as she looked into his eyes. Her arms where still wrapped around his neck and he still held her tight. He looked deep into her eyes. "This isn't just going to be a fling for you right?" she asked as she looked into his eyes.
"I can assure you that it is much more than that," he reassured her. "We really should be heading down," he said, but neither one of them moved.
"Yes we should," she said.
