After driving back through London to Grimmauld street, Tonks led Draco over to number 12 Grimmauld Place, after telling him the "magic words". Draco stopped just in front of the door and looked at Tonks. "Do you think they'll except me? I haven't been nice to the Weasley's or Potter."
Tonks chuckled, "What, you're always nice! Draco, I don't know if they'll be very happy that you're here but it's the only safe place for you and I'll be here to take care of you. If either of the twins pulls a prank on you just let me know and we'll get them even better. I'm proud to say quite a few of their ideas were given to them by me, just don't tell Molly. Are you ready?"
Draco gave a resolute nod and rang to doorbell. After a few seconds he heard footsteps then the door was opened by a Weasley. He hadn't seen this one before but he knew he was a Weasley because of the red hair.
The Weasley in question glanced over him as if Draco Malfoy showed up at his doorstep every day and focused his gaze on Tonks. "You're back. Great." The Weasley shook his head as if to dislodge something. "I must be going crazy from boredom if I'm glad to see you here."
"Wow Charlie, that remark wasn't very scathing. Loosing your touch are you? Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get my cousin to his room. By the way, Draco this is Charlie, Charlie this is Draco." She shouldered her way past Charlie with Draco following behind her leaving Charlie standing in the doorway.
As he followed Tonks Draco asked, "So that's the famous Charlie Weasley."
"Don't tell me you wanted to meet him like every other seeker from Hogwarts." Tonks said.
"I must admit, I did have a slight wish to meet him, he's legendary."
"Yup. And because of him none of the other Gryffindor quiditch players during his years were recognized."
"I take it you were one of those? You two don't seem to like each other. Or you're madly in love and won't admit it."
Tonks made a choking noise. "Don't you dare say that again or I'll send you back to your parents. He's the worst Weasley, actually the only bad one except for Percy. Ah, here's your room." Tonks pushed open a door which led into a small room with a bed and closet. Tonks said, "We have to go report to Dumbledore, do you want to do that now or rest first?"
"Let's do it now, I might as well get it over." Draco decided.
"Alright," said Tonks, "to Dumbledore we go."
""I've always said he was off his rocker," said Ron, looking quite impressed at how crazy his hero was"
