Chapter 3: Confessions from a MetamorphagusI woke up the next morning to find myself on a large, comfy, and very familiar armchair. I turned off the fire and went down to the kitchen from where the scent of bacon cooking was coming.
I entered the room and everyone turned to look at me. Obviously they hadn't forgotten about my little rant from last night. Mum didn't say a word to me, but put a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. The others just kept looking at me like I was about to explode. Even Harry kept glancing at me from the other end of the table. But I couldn't care less. I hadn't been this happy for a while. I ate my breakfast ignoring the people looking at me.
I smiled to myself when I saw Remus looking at me thoughtfully as if trying to figure out just what was making me so happy.
I grinned at him and the entire room looked the unexpected expression on my face, "Hey Remmy!"
The twins sniggered, while Remus slowly turned red as he glanced quickly at Tonks who was laughing. Sirius used to tease Remus because he was crushing on Tonks. He used to keep saying, "You should ask her out Moony, but just don't let her call you Remmy. Al'ight Remmy?"
"Hey there Red, you are certainly chipper this fine morning." I grimaced. James Potter had given this name to his wife, and Sirius used to say in a teasing voice that someday that's what Harry would call me. A flush started to rise in my cheeks as I remembered that, but I ignored it and replied, "Is there a reason I shouldn't be Remmy?"
"You weren't last night, so I didn't expect you to be now."
"I don't really care about knowing stuff, it's just that I hate it when everyone treats me like a child. I wasn't mad about not being able to stay, I was mad that Snape of all people was the one who didn't treat me like a baby and showed me more respect than my family and friends." I said with a sigh. "But, I guess I can't do much about that. It doesn't really matter anymore. I can't be upset anymore because I no longer care what anyone says. I'm a little too happy, well I'm sad but I'm happy because Snape wasn't the only one. I mean I wanted to cry, because it's all sad, but I had to smile and feel happy, have you ever felt like that?" I said in what seemed like one breath.
Everyone looked absolutely baffled. Remus raised an eyebrow at her, "Red, what in god's name are you talking about?"
I smiled. I was getting hyper, I knew, but I couldn't help it, not after that letter. "Here there was one for you too…"
I handed him a letter I had found under mine. Remus opened it and read it quickly. I saw his expressions change as he read, he smiled, then he frowned, at parts he let out barks of laughter, by the end his smile was exuding happiness, but I didn't miss the tears in his eyes. He couldn't speak, his Adam's apple bobbed and I felt my eyes fill with tears as he got up and came to me enveloping me in a big hug. I felt tears trickle down my face and I knew Remus was crying too.
We looked at each other after about 5 minutes and started laughing, but our eyes were still a little wet.
"Now I know why you were all smiles today. What does yours say?" He asked
"Oooh no! I'm not going to tell you everything, but I'll tell you about it later if you promise to tell me about yours." I said suddenly realizing that everyone had stopped everything they were doing and were now looking at us curiously.
Remus stood up and straightened his clothing self-consciously. "Um, yes of course I'll tell you. Well, I should go, I have to meet Dumbledore. I'll meet you at 2 Ginny. By the way what time do you meet Snape?"
"At six for two hours."
"Well good, so our training is from two to four, we'll talk about this," he held up the letter Ginny had given him, "after training, alright?"
"That'll be great."
Remus smiled and dissaparated with a 'POP!' I smiled at the place where he had just been standing and wished the afternoon would come fast. I really wanted to know, what the letter said.
I turned around to see everyone looking at me. It seemed like they were about to burst with curiosity. I pinched myself to stop myself from grinning at their expression. I kept my gaze on the floor because I knew I would burst into giggles if I looked at one of them. I sat down and continued eating my breakfast until Ron asked me, "What were those letters about?"
I winked at him and replied, "You'll see soon enough." With that I went up to my room.
-
It was after Lunch when Tonks knocked on my door. She's really a lot of fun. Kind of like an older sister. Though I knew about Uncle Moony's mega crush on her, I suspected that she also had a crush on him, but I am not too sure.
She came into my room and I noticed she seemed a little troubled, almost nervous.
"So, how's everything going?"
"Good I guess, how about you Tonks? How's Auror work treating you?"
"Oh, you know the normal. Death Eaters and Moody with his 'Constant Vigilance'. So, I heard about you. Dumbledore told us about…"
I put up my hand and cast a silencing charm on the room. "The walls have ears."
She nodded, "So, how are you handling it?"
"It isn't that bad, I've known about it for about a year now. Sirius and Remus had been my trainers. They really helped."
She smiled at me, but then she looked like she wanted to ask me something, but was afraid to.
"What is it Tonks? Spit it out."
"Is there something going on between you and Remus?" She blurted out.
"WHAT? NO! God's no! Tonks! He's old enough to be my father!" I was horrified. How could she think that I liked Uncle Moony that way! Eeew!
She smiled at me guiltily, "Sorry Gin, it just seemed like something was going on during breakfast, you know with the nick names and the hugs …"
I laughed then smiled sadly. "No Tonks, Sirius used to call Remus Remmy and me Red because we both like other people and the names were used to tease us. We both hated it, now it's sort of a joke in Sirius' memory. We were hugging because we were remembering the good times we had with Sirius while both of them trained me. I assure you I don't like Remus that way, he's like a close uncle to me. I saw him and Sirius and him after my father. Wait, why did you ask me, do you like him?"
I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously and she blushed. I smirked; the blush covered her entire face. "You do like him! Talk to him Tonks, you never know what could happen."
She quickly changed the subject without bothering to change the subject. I smiled once again remembering the letter.
"So, how's Dean?" I smiled, "I don't think he really likes me."
She stared at me, "And you are smiling because…?"
"I don't think I really like him either. You see I think he likes Parvati Patil, but doesn't think she'll go out with him. I know that she will, so I'm thinking of writing to him telling him that we should break it off and he should ask Parvati out. I never really felt anything for him anyways so it's really not fair on any of us that we should have o continue our relationship."
Tonks grinned at me, " So who do you have a crush on now?"
"No one." Well, it's the truth isn't it? I'm in love. It's not just a measly crush.
"Oh." She frowned as if this wasn't right but thankfully didn't ask any more questions.
We kept on talking until Remus came and Tonks left.
Training was as strenuous as usual and I was glad it was over when 4 o'clock came. I retrieved the letter from the drawer of my nightstand and he got out his from his pocket. We sat on my bed, legs crossed facing each other. "Alright," he looked at me, anticipation shinning in his eyes, "You go first."
Uncle Padfoot was a smart man. He had charmed the letters so that only the reader could read them. For this reason we had to read our letters aloud to each other, but that was just as well because there were a few things that I didn't want Uncle Moony to read.
Caillion- I'm glad you enjoyed it. Snape is going to come up a lot of times in the story and Ginny and he will become pretty close. Don't worry, Ginny will get back at Ron and he is going to feel bad about what he keeps doing. Ginny isn't allowed because her mother likes to be in denial about Ginny's role in the war effort and because they don't want to attract attention to it, even among the members and friends. Thank you for your review
Comet Moon- I agree. Yup, I don't think we are supposed to think that Snape rocks, but I really don't care, he rocks in my story! Please review again Jim and feel free to send in more comments.
