Tonks rolled over in her bed, trying to sleep without the sun shinning in her eyes. Sighing, she determined her quest unaccomplishable. Without opening her eyes, Tonks reached over to her dresser and picked up her wand. She gave it a flick and the room was filled with the sound of Tribute (this is for you, KT the 3rd). Slowly she opened her eyes and stretched. She looked over at her clock and it read 1:30.
"Might as well get up." She said to herself, then laughed. "What would they think of me now? Talking to myself. Crazy they would call me." She frowned, "Especially Charlie. He's always so annoying." She got out of her bed and started gathering clothes. Once Tribute ended she said, "That's my signal to take a shower and get out of this dratted room"
Tonks looked around the kitchen as she entered, it was empty. She grinned, "Now what should I make for myself today?" Tonks ran about the room taking things out, mixing, and cooking with considerable lack of accidents. Finally her concoction was ready. Tonks sat down at the table in the middle of the room and was about to take a bite out of whatever it was she made when Snape walked in.
"Hello Severus! Would you like something to eat, I'm willing to share." Tonks asked.
Snape scowled at her, "How many times do I have to tell you that I'm still your superior and I would prefer it if you didn't call me by my first name, Nymphadora." Tonks wrinkled her nose at the use of her first name but Snape continued, "I will however take something to eat."
"Alright, Professor. I forgot you only let Auriga Sinistra call you Severus because you're afraid of her coffee cup throwing abilities ." Snape grimaced at the mention of Hogwarts' Astronomy professor. Tonks stood up and took another plate out of the cupboard. She split her food in half and pushed the smaller half onto the other plate, which she gave to Snape. Once it was placed in front of him Tonks got her former professor a fork.
Snape looked at the food suspiciously then took a small bite. Immediately he stood up and ran to the sink. After he spit out what food was still in his mouth he turned to Tonks, "That starry eyed twit told you to poison me didn't she! If you were still at Hogwarts you would have just lost your house 500 points!" Snape gave Tonks one last sneer before he marched out of the kitchen, all the while muttering under his breath.
Tonks shrugged her shoulders and continued eating, if Snape didn't know high quality when he tasted it then he just shouldn't eat her food anymore. When she finished she stood up, placed her dish (along with Snape's) in the sink, pushed her chair in then walked into the hallway.
She grabbed her jacket and purse from the coat rack, giving it a triumphant glance as she managed not to knock it down, then opened the front door and walked outside. After making sure that the door was locked, she walked around the house to the garage. She went in, opened the garage door, got in her Mini, and drove out. She chuckled as she remembered the horrified look Molly gave Dumbledore when he announced that he had bought her a Mini Copper.
Driving through the streets of London, Tonks mind went to the task at hand. While she had been at Malfoy Manor she had meet up with the young Malfoy. He was how she got into Malfoy Manor, he was another insider of Dumbledore's. Being cousins Tonks and Draco felt they had a special connection. They were both part of a family of evil wizards, unfortunately Draco had to play the part. Now it was up to her to save her cousin, she would protect him with her life if it came to that. Of coarse, she had to find him first.
