Lunch that day was an awkward affair. Ron, Harry, and Ginny wouldn't talk to Draco. Hermione did occasionally but then the other Gryffindors would glare at her. Tonks wouldn't talk to Charlie, which wouldn't have been odd except that Charlie kept trying to talk to her. Draco answered Hermione's queries as briefly as possible for fear of what Ron would do to him. Fred and George kept glancing at Draco and whispering then Tonks would glare at them until they went silent. Snape, as usual, didn't talk to anyone and Dumbledore acted as if nothing was wrong.
When lunch ended everyone scattered, eager to get out of the tension filled room. Draco decided that the safest place for him was his room, unfortunately that was what the twins had counted on. As he opened his door the first dung bomb went off. Next came a blinding flash and miscellaneous noises. After that Draco was lost.
Tonks heard a series of noises and would have ignored them if the twins hadn't run by her laughing. It only took her a second to realize they had done something to Draco. She ran up to his room to find him covered in feathers. Her first instinct was to laugh but soon vehemence replaced it. All Draco had been trying to do was fit in but if the twins couldn't handle that she would show them something.
Looking at Draco the first thing she said was, "Go get cleaned up. I'll try to do something with your room." When Draco left Tonks walked into the room and examined the damage. As she cleared up a variety of things she thought about how to get back at the twins and all the others who were hostile towards Draco.
When Draco came back, clean and unfeathered, Tonks was grinning. "I know that smile," he said, "and it means trouble for someone."
"We are going to get those twins back, just like I told you we would. We're going to beat them and everyone who has a problem with you at Quiditch!"
The twins were just congratulating themselves when Tonks walked into the living room. "You tow! Five minutes. In the backyard. With your team, 6 players max."
As Tonks marched out of the room Charlie commented, "You must have done something bad," before running out of the room. Charlie caught up with Tons and asked, "Need another player?"
Tonks looked at him and asked, "Why?"
"I assume my brothers did something to Draco and I want to help get them back."
Tonks stared at him for a few seconds before saying, "Alright, but Draco's Seeker so you have to be something else."
Charlie thought a moment before replying, "I'll be a Chaser. I bet I can find someone to be Beater. You just have to find a Keeper." Charlie went off to find a Beater and Tonks tried to think of someone who could be Keeper for the "Draco Team".
As Tonks was thinking Hermione came up behind her and tapped Tonks on the shoulder. "I heard what you said to the twins and think you should know that they have a pretty good team."
Tonks grinned, "Yeah, but they're nothing compared to what our team will be, especially if we have a great keeper. She'll be our secret weapon."
Hermione looked at Tonks suspiciously. "You can't be asking me to do that. I'll mess up the whole game and all my friends are on opposite team."
"Hermione, do you think what they did to Draco is right? How they always glare at him? I know he did some mean things but you have to give him a chance. And your the best Keeper I know."
"You mean Ron is the best Keeper you know but he's on the opposite team."
"No, I meant what I said."
Hermione sighed, "Alright but Ron's going to kill me for never telling him I could play Quiditch."
Tonks smiled, "No, it will take him a while to get over it but then it'll just increase his love for you."
Hermione sputtered then said, "I'll just go get ready." She looked back as she headed up the stairs. "Tell Charlie I said hi." She winked at Tonks then ran up the rest of the stairs before Tonks could send a curse at her.
"Yeah, Harry's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant"
