Is it...? OH! You guessed it! INSOMNIA!
Enjoy my friends, also to the handful of people who posted on guest accounts that I couldn't reply to about me "Demanding" reviews.
I like user feedback, this story is an organic thing that grows with reader feedback, I like hearing from said readers, so please, don't be unnecessarily bitchy when all I want is words on how to make this venture better.
I'm going to try to sleep now, goodnight everyone!
Dora Tonks groggily sat up as she heard someone rapidly rapping their knuckles on her flats front door and very much wished to end their existence after the fact.
"Fucking hell the next time Hestia wants to chain Irish car bombs I'm not going to be so morbidly curious on how far we can drag it out. Ugh...fucking Baileys...STOP FUCKING KNOCKING I'M FUCKING COMING YOU GODDAMN WANKER! FUCK!"
The knocking ended as she stumbled into the hall and swung the door open, only to see her little cousin Dancia staring up at her, who soon gave her a highly unimpressed once over with her piercing glacial blue eyes.
"Hot damn Dora, you look like shite, also nice baps I always figured you were naturally a 'C' cup, the clit ring is a bit of a surprise though."
What?
Glancing down she realized she was in fact completely naked while also in her default form, and rather then freaking out she let out a tired sigh while pulling a strand of wavy brown hair behind her ear, turning away from her little cousin as her violet eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Graduation from the Auror Academy was far more memorable then I thought it would be. Also stop staring at my arse," she stated while making her way back to her bedroom.
"Then stop having such delectable junk in the trunk so to speak, also as a segue to a far less awkward topic what the hell did you drink last night? Seriously it looks like a claymore mine went off in here and I'm not even going to ask why your knickers are hanging out of the microwave."
Dancia stated this while scrunching her nose and taking a seat on the somewhat reasonably clean couch before her, doing her best to not consider what likely had occurred on it mere hours before.
Dora stepped back into the room pulling on an over sized t-shirt that draped over her shorts while plopping down on the couch next to Dancia, all while absently summoning a bottle of water off the kitchen counter. Twisting the cap off she downed half the bottle before turning to the white haired witch at her side.
"So looking to delve into the Black tradition of knotting up the family tree are we?" Dora stated with a faux lecherous grin, Dancia just rolled her eyes at the insinuation.
"I'm allowed to window shop, you are attractive, I admit it, but also very annoying and not worth the effort. So no, one night stand at some point in the future, maybe, but no more than that."
Dora snorted, "Noted. As an aside I have no bloody idea about the mess, last night is a blur and I'm not even going to pretend that I could possibly justify it."
Dancia raised a perfectly plucked brow at that, "Your parents must be beyond proud, regardless moving on. I need a law enforcement perspective on something that is not my own. I am...admittedly biased when it comes to such cases."
All teasing fell to the side as Dora turned to her little cousin in concern, "Oh, do tell."
Dany frowned slightly as she dropped her chin into her splayed out hands as her elbows fell to her knees, "You know about the whole Lockhart...thing, right?"
Dora nodded at that quickly, "The shear amount of crimes that bastard committed had my mentor frothing at the mouth. I thought Moody was scary beforehand, holy hell was I wrong, seeing him triggered was damn unsettling."
"Not surprising really, you have to care about protecting the innocent to be as fervent as he is. Regardless, you know Lockhart was captured because of me right?'
"Yarp," Dora stated before downing the rest of her water.
"Well allow me to explain what led up to his arrest." So that is what she did, everything about Cho, about getting her to the infirmary, about directly contacting Aunt Amelia and Uncle Sirius, and finally the kiss she received on the train.
"So after Harry, Mia, and Nev left Cho showed up, asked if she could talk in private, and closed the door. She hugged me, thanked me, and kissed me."
"Hot damn," Dora stated with a grin.
"There was tongue, and I really don't know what to think about this because I'm like...99.9% sure she is not a witch's witch. I've heard her swooning about Diggory more than once so I just don't know how to handle this. I mean why the hell would she suddenly be interested in me!?"
Dora nodded slowly as she dropped her head back to stare at the ceiling, "It's fairly obvious what's going on in her head, and I'm sure you figured it out already you just need someone else to verbalize it."
Dany sighed in exasperation, "Elucidate."
Dora rolled her eyes, "Fine. She was alienated by her classmates because the unicorns wouldn't come to her. It confused, and rightfully worried her. She came to the conclusion that she was not in fact a virgin anymore, and considering the fact that she didn't recall ever having sex, this was a big deal for her."
"It would be for any woman," Dany spat out in anger. Dora only nodded in return not wishing to add wood to that particular fire. She knew sexual abuse was a subject that made her little cousin enraged and was not in the mood to derail that particular train of thought and decided to not let it even leave the station.
"So," Dora continued, "she falls apart, all of her 'friends' turn on her, call her a whore, a slut, so on and so forth, and she falls apart feeling dirty and used. She hides in the showers when who shows up to comfort her? Dancia Malfoy, the Elven Princess of Ravenclaw."
Dany's eyes widened at that, "Wait what!?"
Dora shrugged, "What a lot of your year mates call you, they probably read too much Tolkien."
"OBVIOUSLY!" Dany snarled out, Dora simply ignored her.
"Moving on, you comfort her, rather then dismissing her as a whore, and then use your judo grip on deductive reasoning to not only figure out what had happened to her but narrowed down the criminal that violated her in moments. What did you do after that? Go to the Headmaster? Go to your Head of House? Nope, you contacted the head of the fucking Department of Magical Law Enforcement and had the bastard dragged out in chains within hours of accusing him of his crimes."
Dora glanced towards her now exhausted looking cousin as she reached over and ruffled her hair a bit.
"And what fate did the bastard receive little one?"
Dany sighed while smacking her cousins hand aside, dropping her eyes to the ground she muttered "He had his soul devoured by a demon."
Dora nodded, "She was mind controlled, raped, and had her memories stolen from her. Then, at her lowest point a beautiful ethereal goddess wandered upon her, deduced what was wrong, and not only took her to healers that would not judge her, but let loose the dogs of war that dragged down the man who violated her."
Dany rubbed her temples slowly as she continued for her cousin.
"Since I completely bypassed the Headmaster Lockhart was thrown to the ground in front of Aunt Amelia and Uncle Sirius, who both despise pedophiles to begin with, having the full knowledge that Susan, Hermione, and myself were attending class with the creep. His soul was devoured later that day and he was no longer a threat to anyone."
"Especially to Cho," Dora chirped out helpfully.
Dany stared at the ground a few minutes before speaking, "I...I'm going to have a scary protective fangirl from here on out, that's what this boils down to right?"
"Yuppers!" Dora chirped out cheerfully.
"Goddamnit..." Dany seethed out in frustration.
"Yarp!" Her cousin laughed out
"Fuck you Dora." Leaning forward she kissed her full on the lips and then stood and walked away from the dumbfounded metamorphmagus.
"Wait...what? WHAT!? You can't just walk away after that!"
Dany stepped in the hall, extended the fore and middle finger of her right hand towards her cousin forming the traditional two fingered salute, then apparated away.
Dora could only stare forward a few moments before breaking out laughing.
Goddamn was that little witch ever a Black.
I honestly love Dany and Dora's relationship, I feel like I could write an entire story just focusing on their antics considering how they play off each other. Hope you all enjoyed!
