Chapter 13- Little Lost Puppy
Tonks did not look happy as she opened the door to 12 Grimmauld Place. Her shoulder length white-blonde hair was a mess and she was soaked through and through, for it was raining outside, and Tonks had no umbrella.
Sirius greeted her in the hallway. "Tonks, what's wrong? You look... upset."
Tonks wrinkled her nose at her uncle. "I found a little lost puppy of sorts on the way here. It followed me."
"Oh, really?" Remus asked as he walked up.
Tonks nodded, "Of sorts," she answered and she stepped out of the way to reveal her dripping wet blonde haired cousin, Draco Malfoy.
Sirius's look instamtly turned sour and Remus gently set his hands on Sirius's shoulder, assumedly to keep his from doing anything rash.
Draco passed out. No one could tell exactly why, but it was probably from the pneumonia. Tonks and Remus carried Draco upstairs to bed, then joined the others to "talk" about the "situation".
"Absolutely not," said Molly Weasley, banging her fist on the table for punctuation.
"I agree with Molly, for once," Sirius said.
"I'm going to go speak with Narcissa," Tonks announced. "She's a reasonable human being." Tonks Disapparated, then Apparated back a few minutes later, right next to Molly. She whispered something in her ear, whoi whispered it to Arthur, who told Remus, who whispered to Sirius, who looked utterly confused, but told Severus, who for some reason had taken up residence with them, who puzzledly asked, "Fried vegetables?"
"No," Tonks siad with an exasperated sigh. "Draco's staying for a while because Lucius beats me and I'm his cousin and Sirius is his uncle and he has nowhere else to go. Fried vegtables- my god."
