Part 1

:O:

Today was a breezy September day. The leaves outside the Auror Headquarters' windows showed the dancing of the leaves from the wind. They twirled and swirled around and around. Besides the familiarity of this day, you probably couldn't tell that it has been almost three months since the death of the great Albus Dumbledore. It has also been almost three months since Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks had been dating.

Tonks, if you call her Nymphadora she will jinx you, had been lazily staring out her office slash cubicle window thinking. She was thinking of a certain werewolf who has captured her heart and even put her through some pain. Nonetheless, he was just perfect for her.

She was cheerful, stubborn, and clumsy. He was calm, intellectual, and thoughtful; everything she lacked. Maybe that's why they were so compatible, because they were the opposite and together they made up for each of their faults. When you look at Tonks and Remus standing beside each other holding hands, you would think how these two were together. He looked older and tired, while she looked young and bright. Maybe the answer to it is that love can come in any shapes, sizes, or ages. This couple was no exception.

Tonks counted the time left until she was finished with work for the week. Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…ONE! She got out of her chair and collected her coat from her desk. She was excited to get out her crowded cubicle and head for Remus' loft. He had rented a small loft on top of Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. Even though Remus now worked for the Ministry in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, he was still tight with money. She always looked forward to meeting him and just spend time together. Their work times clashed so they never had a chance to see each other every day.

Just as she was to pass the main bulletin board in the Headquarters that had clippings of wanted Death Eaters, Daily Prophet clippings, and even a wanted babysitter for a set of triplets, she noticed an urgent message fling into the board. Other Aurors gathered curiously, and some uneasily, to see what the message was about and started to gasp and whisper frantically. Ever since Dumbledore passed away, there have been many muggle attacks and killings in general. She somehow maneuvered herself to the front of the crowd to see what the big deal was about and couldn't help but gasp herself.

Aurors are needed for backup at Hogsmeade ASAP.

About four Death Eaters on the lose cursing people at random.

"I'm going!" Tonks shouted to the secretary who ensured where the Aurors were at missions or assigned to. She forgot about Remus for a second but reassured herself that he would understand. The secretary nodded solemnly and Tonks touched the portkey made especially for Aurors to use on emergencies. Tonks opened her eyes and landed right in the heart of Hogsmeade. Two other fellow Aurors were beside her putting on their battle face.

"Let's go," she whispered and the other two nodded. She decided to change her bubble-gum pink hair into something less eye-catching. She screwed up her face in concentration and suddenly her hair grew longer and black. She looked completely unrecognizable. Satisfied with the result, she began to walk slowly in the dark with her wand out in front of her.

Hogsmeade was entirely deserted. Not a sound was made and not sound was heard. The sky was dark now, and it was hard for Tonks to see in front of herself. "Lumos," Tonks murmured. The wind blew the shutters and they creaked, almost coming off their hinges. Once, and beautiful town, was now dead. Tonks annoyingly moved a strand of dark hair behind her eyes. She didn't want to be attacked when her hair was covering her eyes, and so this was the reason she preferred a short cut. She was walking along looking sideways, making sure there weren't anything hiding in the shadows. Then she heard a yell of, "Stupefy!"

:O:

A/N: This is going to be in, I think, 3 parts. They would all be short like this because I was going to make it into a one-shot but I wanted the reviewer's opinion about it! I would really appreciate if you can leave a review!
