Sitting at the table, surrounded by order members i put my head on my elbow, Tired. It had been a long day, i'd spent all day at work, done housework, Visited my parents like i had promised myself and sucsessfully made myself fully aware of my own crush on Remus J. Lupin. Its so wrong. and that is why i must ignore it from now on.
However it is hard to forget about my big Remus shaped problem when he is sitting opposite me, staring into the distance with his deep grey eyes, his soft sandy blonde hair flopping over his face making him look so damn attr-
Forget about it. Its wrong. Its about as wrong on my teenage crush on the Captain of the Holyhead harpies who was 20 years my senior. Remus has got to be at least 15 years older than me. He was in fifth year when i was born for merlins sake.
Wrong, So Wrong.
'So we get in there, and get him out? ok?' Moody grunted from his seat, hitting the table with his finger firmly. agreement was muttered and people started to file out of the kitchen and out onto the street.
'Tonks!' A voice from behind me aroused me from my thoughts. Emmeline Vance fell into step with me, her hair long and black like my natural state, and red cheeks.
'Em,' I grinned, 'Hows Pete?'
Em grinned, going redder than she already was, 'He's brilliant' she said finally.
'As in a brilliant person or briliant in-'
'Tonks!' she gasped hitting me
'What?' I said shrugging innocently, 'Its a womans preogative to ask isn't it?'
she merly grinned and raised her eyebrows, 'How about you?' She said.
Remus Lupin, 'No one special in my life' I answered.
'No one?'
No one apart from Remus Lupin, 'Nope'
'Not even Remus Lupin?'
Remu- Hang on.
'What?' I snapped, 'Remus Lupin? Why would i have anything to do with Remus Lupin?'
Did i say that too quickly?
'Molly told Sturgis something, and He told Fletcher who told me...You were canoodling with him in the hall earlier?'
I am going to kill Molly. I'm going to Avada Kedavra her in her sleep.
'No!' I spluttered, 'I hurt my ankle and he was helping me. Mis information. Don't fall for it' I mumbled.
Em nodded with a twinkle in her eye, 'sure it was,'
I cried, 'It was!'
'I never said it wasn't' she said breaking off to get into her place for the formation. I slapped my head with my palm. What on earth ?? Kill. Molly. Weasley. Avada. Molly. Kill. Kedavra. Weasley.
'Ready on three?' Moody barked. I mounted my broom and got ready to kick off.
'ONE'
'Dora!' I knew exactly who it was. Remus grinned at me, 'Don't fall off your broom!'
I bore my teeth at him and decided it was a better idea to look away. Too dangerous.
'TWO'
I peered at Em who was giving me a look as if to say You-want-him. I ignored her too.
'ONE'
I kicked off and sped over the hedges and houses, the wind rushing through my hair, my robes flailing out behind me. I love flying, its my second favourite sensation.
What? my first favourite is swimming. I know what you were thinking!
Half an hour in Towns and motorways still sped beneath us and i decided i should have worn warmer clothes, my neck was freezing due to my short hair and my extremeties felt like they were going to drop off at any moment and drop like hail stones on the muggles below.
'OI MOODY' i cried, 'CAN WE FLY OVER A TOWN? IM FREEZING'
He waved a hand to dissmiss me and i sulked in the cold, why did i agree to this?
I caught sight of Remus flying in front of me, his hair flying out behind him like mine and his robes flapping elegantly. Ah. That's why.
Suddenly i realised we were getting lower, i had been flying on autopilot, watching the back of Remus' head too long. I dipped into a slight dive and Moody waved his hand, We all dipped lower until we were speeding down towards a small street in a small town, lined with lines and lines of small identical houses with lights in the windows.
No consideration for energy preservation.
Don't they know what global warming is?
Oh. We're down.
I touched down, my trainers slipping slightly in the mud but steadied myself. Moody pointed his wand and muttered 'Alhomora', gold light lit up the lock and the door clicked and swung open. he pushed himself through and turned round to the rest of the 10 or 11 Aurors in the garden.
'Coming?'
'Thats breaking and entering Alastor' Said Remus as he followed him in. I followed too, glad to be in the warm.
The sitting room was perfectly set out, with flowers on the coffee table, and polished tops. it was spotless. So Clean. Too clean. I was so busy checking out the state of the art television that i walked straight into a stool, almost knocking over a flower pot.
I gasped and, my wand already out, cried, 'congelo!'
The flower pot froze in mid air and i was able to pick it out of the nothingness and place it back onto its stand.
'Shh!' Moody hissed at me and turned round again. I grinned and made a face at him behind his back.
'I saw that'
Darn eye.
