Disclaimer: I am very poor. I dont own much.
Who knew that with a mass amount of people knowing about my sex life, all of a sudden would turn my world upside down.
Enter Molly Weasley propriety and Sirius Black's inner yenta.
The few days after the order found out was stressful. In more ways then one. Remus had shut himself away from me. The man drives me crazy, like the sudden eyes on us, would change how I feel about him. He stopped himself because of what is right in society, instead of what is right in that thick head of his.
I was having fun, Damn it. Then wolfie went and took it all away. Damn him.
Mad-Eye did not go near Remus at all, he seemed almost jealous, if you asked Sirius. Sirius always said that Moody had some unrequited crush on me. That is hugely disturbing. Truthfully, he was like father to me. He rarely went around me. He was angry cause Remus deflowered his virginal idea of me.
The worst was Molly though. She just wouldn't lay off the both of us. I could tell the matron was making Remus feel guilty. I started actually thinking that I had taken advantage for the poor professor.
Judgment day was upon me and I knew it.
That Thursday morning over breakfast was Bill, Charlie, Sirius, and I, with of course Molly bustling around the kitchen. Her questions and comments began innocent and quickly turned cheek and went to the dark side. Thank god that woman is on our side. We don't need Veritserum at all with her.
"So Bill, Are you doing anything with Fleur this weekend?" she asked innocently.
"Yeah, another English lesson at her house." he mumbles, the rest of us snigger at him. Molly glared in the direction of Sirius and I like we are the ones to corrupt her sons. Well, I was responsible for it, but she doesn't know that. I don't believe, at least I hope.
She continued down the line, like successful detective playing good cop. "Since these are your last few days in England,. What will you be up to, Charlie?" she questioned.
"Oh, just going to see some old friends and catch up." he said. "Well, I need to pack up, Mum." then he sprinted out of the kitchen. He knew something was up.
"Sirius, I hear Emmaline is keeping you coming for a while this weekend?" she said smiling innocently. "Oh, yes she is coming. Molly," he grinned.
"Got to go to work, Bye Mom." he kissed his mother on the cheek and left. He didn't have work for another hour and I knew it. Men are Liars.
"Are you and Remus doing anything this weekend, Tonks?" she inquired. "Why would we doing something together? We don't have order work, this weekend?" I said hoping she would drop it.
I am wrong again!
"Well, I just thought after the last meeting that you to were…..well Together" she said demandingly
"No, Molly, you thought wrong, Remus and I are not dating. We are just friends" I chewed out. This was not my favorite topic. Secretly, I want more, the past few months he grew on me. Every guy I saw nothing compared to him.
"Yes, Yes, of course, young women today are different today," Molly accused me.
Not enjoying the direction of the conversation anymore I needed to make my departure. "Thank you for breakfast, Molly, I wouldn't survive with out you," I said quickly and left.
As soon as I was through the door, I didn't trip on the troll leg umbrella stand, but ran smack into the 2 eldest Weasley boys. Before I could yell, Bill had clapped a hand over my mouths. Charlie with a finger on his lips, "Shh, Just listen, We'll explain later," then he threw an extendable ear underneath the door, so that we could all listen.
"Sirius, why don't you say something to them, Remus is an educator and Nymphadora is so young, this is very damaging to their reputations" Molly pleaded
"They are both grown adults, Molly, If they don't want to date, then they won't its not my job to convince them otherwise." Sirius groaned
"But they are the two closest people to you, Sirius. You must admit that it seems logical" Molly expressed.
"What's so logical about it. They are having fun, I am happy for them. The Only logical thing is to let them do what they want in their own time," Sirius yelled.
"As their Friend and Cousin, you are responsible for them in a way. So you should care how people perceive them," Molly explained
Sirius chewed out, "They are a Werewolf and a Metamorphagus, People always percieve them as bad, Molly."
"Please Sirius, for the sake of their reputation!" Molly pleaded.
"Ok, I will only help, if you just shut up about their damned reputations" Sirius exclaimed.
Suddenly Bill jerked my arm and pulled me into parlor. Charlie followed in after us.
"Ok, Tonks," Bill began, "As our good friend and an innocent that has never felt the wrath of our mother."
Charlie continued on, " First, We are your friends, Trust us, no one cares about your reputation, except our mum."
"Her reason for caring, is actually pretty insulting to us," Bill explained, "Since you are our age, she is just realizing that we aren't little boys anymore."
"Why," I wondered, "That makes no sense"
Bill laughed, "You forget that Molly Weasley is the mother of all mothers, she wants her little chicks to always remain happy and healthy and innocent." he furthered on, "Well, when she overheard you, it clicked in her mind, that since you are having sex and sense we are the same age we must be too."
"So, please at least go on one date with Remus, so she won't figure out our reputations, And you understand the patent Molly Weasley Veritserum Look " Charlie interrupted.
"What if Mom finds out me dating Fleur, I can't loose those English lessons" Bill continued to exagerate, "And what about Sirius and his ... Whatever is going on, Come on Tonks take one for the team! Don't do this to every man in the house!"
This was kind of unbelievable: to have your ex-boyfriends set there and warn you about their mother, insisting that you date a man, to potentially save their asses.
"Yes, I understand guys," I spurted out between laughs, "I will save you from your mother."
Bill and Charlie sat down on either side of me. There we were three, twenty somethings satisfying the mother hen of the order.
Bill said in his friendly voice, "By the way, Tonks, How you managed to snag the mild-mannered, proper professor, I will never know, but damn you are good!"
"Thanks, Bill," I responded.
"Well, we gotta go before Mom catches us," Charlie said while they exited.
There I was sitting on a dusty, dingy old coach in the ancestral home of the crazy side of the family; just wondering how I was going to ask out a werewolf who was more than a decade older than me. Things could have been worse. He could have been horrible in bed, but he wasn't. He could have been ugly as all hell, but instead he was the handsomest man I had ever seen. He could have been awfully boring, but he was fascinating. I could have hated him, but I didn't. I was very far from hate.
