Trying For Another Child

Disclaimer: Hee… These colors are making me dizzy. :Rocks back and forth: I do not own Harry Potter… Ooh… Shiny…

"Tonks! Long time no see." Sirius grinned. Tonks laughed.

"I know, I know. Sorry. Auror crap. I failed the test." She made a face.

"Again, Tonks? How many times are you allowed to take the test?" Remus sighed, rolling his eyes at her.

"I think the limit is eight. I've only done it three times." Tonks blew a bubble. It popped covering her face in the pink goop.

"What do you need, Tonks?" Remus asked, raising an eyebrow at the younger witch. She grinned guiltily.

"A place to crash for a few months." The purple haired girl bit her lip.

"Why not go home? I mean, that is where you live right?" Remus rolled his eyes again.

"Oh, go on Remus. Harry's leavin'. We'll let 'er sleep in his room." Sirius goaded. Remus sighed, thinking.

"Hey, Da? Where's Nasha? Errol flew off." Harry came skidding into the room, still hyped on the sugary ice cream.

"That owl, I swear. It's so old. Why don't they just kill it?" Remus stood up. Sirius smirked at Tonks.

"Who's that?" Harry asked, catching sight of Tonks' head in the flames. Sirius winked at Remus.

"Wotcher, Harry!" Tonks grinned. Harry cocked his head to one side.

"Harry, this is Nymphadora…" Remus began.

"Don't you dare call me Nymphadora, Remus!" Tonks interjected. Sirius sniggered when Remus glared at her.

"Nymphadora Tonks. She's Dad's cousin." Remus continued, flashing Sirius an annoyed look.

"Call me Tonks, Harry. Remus is just a killjoy." Tonks snarled. Remus smirked, heading out of the room in search off the missing owl.

"Call her Nymphie, Harry. She love it." Sirius grinned at Tonks as she growled at him.

"That kinda suits you." Harry commented, looking at her.

"What?" Tonks asked.

"Nymphie. I mean, you have a hair cut that looks like a pixie's and your eyes sparkle just like Dad's do when he's trying to prank Da. I think it's nice." Harry smiled.

"You're a cute kid. You can call me Nymphie if you like. Sirius, you can't." Tonks snapped.

"Aw, Nymph." Sirius flashed her his infamous puppy dog eyes. She made a face.

"No! Can I come or not?" Tonks asked, pushing out her bottom lip.

"Sure. Come see Harry off. Remus won't be able to turn you away." Sirius grinned.

"Awesome! I have a place to sleep where my dad doesn't wake me up at six!" Tonks grinned back.

"I'll go find Remus so he can say goodbye. Harry, talk to Nymph for a while. She won't mind." Sirius got up and hurried off. Harry nodded.

"Come sit closer, Harry. I won't bite, I swear." Tonks grinned, sticking her tongue out at him. He walked over and sat down in front of her.

"Why do you want to stay here? Why don't you just tell your dad not to wake you up?" Harry asked.

"It was just a ploy to get them to let me stay. I just don't want to be at home right now. My parents are trying for another child." Tonks laughed. Harry went bright red and bolted out of the room. Sirius was coming back in just as Harry rushed past him.

"Tonks! What did you say?" He snapped, staring at her. She looked dumbfounded.

"What did I say?" She asked looking up at him.

Ugh. That's awful. I feel like I got hit by an 18-wheeler. Hm… :Looks around blearily: What's goin' on? Ugh… Review… I'm tired. :Starts to go upstairs to bed:

What are you doing in my room!
