1AN: Ok, this is my first fanfic like this. Its about Sirius and Tonks but they do NOT start dating because Tonks belongs with Remus and ONLY Remus! I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Do I even have to say it? I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER AND ANY OF THE CHARACTERS! There, happy now?
Nymphadora Tonks walked into the Leaky Cauldron right before dusk. She stopped, letting her eyes adjust to the dim lighting before searching the crowd for the man whom she had come to see.
Remus John Lupin glanced up at the door as it slammed shut. Reconginzing, the pink-haired girl, he smiled and waved her over.
"Wotcher, Remus," the young woman said, smiling.
Remus easily returned the smile, "Hello, Nymphadora," he said teasingly.
Tonks winced at the use of her first name, "Its Tonks, Remus! Just Tonks!" she said in mock anger, knowing very well he would always call her Nymphadora. Remus just smiled.
He offered her a seat before sitting down and ordering them each a drink. "What happened since we last talked?" he asked, remembering the last time he had seen her. It had been right after his best friend and her second cousin, Sirius Black had been sent to Azkaban for murder. Both had been mad at Sirius, for doing whatever he did to make him look like a murder, and at the ministry for not giving him a trial. Tonks, who had been quite young then, had needed someone to comfort her and at the time, Remus had been the only one who felt the same way. Her mom, had died the year before and her father thought that Sirius might have been a murderer for real.
Tonks looked at Remus weirdly, and simply answered "A lot" before telling him everything important that had happened.
When they had finally caught up on the other's life, Remus stood and motioned for Tonks to follow after he paid for their drinks.
He lead her out the back entrance and into a dark alley. Tonks looked around, nervously eyeing the dark shadows. Remus, who sensed her nervousness squeezed her hand, "Relax," he whispered softly. Tonks instantly did because for a reason she did not know, she trusted Remus. "I want to show you something, but we have to apparate, ok?" Tonks nodded, grabbing his arm.
POP! They arrived in front of an old house that Tonks' vaugly remembered. She stared at it for a moment before remembering when she had seen the house. It was the last time she had seen Sirius, almost 13 years before. She could hardly believe she was standing in front of Grimmauld Place, once again. "It's not... Is it?" she asked, her voice trailing off.
She looked at Remus who nodded. He opened the door quietly and put his fingers over his lips, telling her to be quiet, before leading her up the stairs.
He opened a door and led the way to what seemed to be a library.
Suddenly, a big black dog jumped up on Tonks, knocking her over, and licked her happily on the face. When she finally untangled herself from the dog and stood up, she took a good look at the dog. He seemed familiar and if she hadn't known better, she would have said he was smiling back at her.
She turned to Remus, who was watching from the corner of the room, smiling slightly and highly amused. "Is that your dog?" she asked pointing at the big black figure.
Remus looked at her and smiled, turning to the dog, "She doesn't know its you, Padfoot. Turn back," he told 'his dog'. Tonks stared at the dog as he nodded eagerly.
Wait, had he called the dog Padfoot? That was Sirius's Marauder name! Why would he call the dog Padfoot, unless...
"Tonks!" the voice errupted her thought as arms pulled her into a strong hug. When she turned to see who was hugging her, though she was pretty sure she already knew, she saw the one person she loved and hated the most and immediately pulled away.
"S...Sirius?" she said nervously, walking backward slowly. "P..Please don't hurt..." she stopped, interuppted and shocked.
"Tonks! Watch out!" Sirius and Remus screamed, as they ran towards her, but it was too late.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she fell over the table behind her.
Suddenly, her world went black.
AN: Ok, I had the idea for this fic and it wouldn't let me forget about it till I wrote it down. About a week ago, I wrote a similar one, but I realized it was confusing and not worth reading so I deleted it. I guess you could say this is the better version of it. Also, this was oringinally a one-shot but I thought it would be too long so its going to be 2-3 chapters. Let me know if I should continue because I really, really love this story! READ and REVIEW! Just push the blue/purple little button! You can do it!
