Chapter two is up…Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed!
'Stupefy!' Tonks' screeched at an approaching Death Eater. The spell blasted straight into his chest, and he slumped and fell on the floor. She neared closer to him cautiously, as if he might jump up at any second and kill her. Tonks knelt at his head and carefully removed his hood. She recognised the ugly face as Amycus Carrow. She levitated his heavy body to the doorway. She dropped the levitation, and let his body thump on the floor. Tonks then went back into battle. Behind her, she heard a cackling voice.
'If it isn't ickle, baby, Tonks' a cruel voice mocked. She turned around. It was Bellatrix Lestrange.
'I heard you married the filthy werewolf' Bellatrix spat, with disgust and contempt in her voice.
'Don't talk about him like that' Tonks fought back. 'He's a great man and it's people like you that should be locked up.'
'Me?' Bellatrix said with amazement. 'Me? I have done noble work, stamping out filth like you from this world. And now I will stamp you out, you filthy traitor!'
Bellatrix fired curse after curse at Tonks, each one only missing her by millimetres. Tonks had to constantly duck and dodge to avoid getting hit by a killing curse. They ended up in a fierce one-on-one duel, and each witch was battling to kill. Tonks had never been more scared in her entire life. They sent curse after curse, hex after hex, but they all missed. A gloating expression appeared on Bellatrix's face. She knew she was going to win. She raised her wand and screamed:
'STUPEFY!'
That was a mans voice, Tonks thought, A deep, growling, moody voice. A flash of red light hit Bellatrix straight in the back, and she fell forwards right on her face. Her attacker was revealed.
A man with an artificial leg and an electric blue eye stepped forward.
'Moody!' Tonks cried, and she ran forward, taking care to step on Bellatrix, to greet the man who had probably just saved her life.
'Can't let Bella destroy a top Auror now can we?' Moody grumbled.
'Oh Moody, you know you love me really' Tonks replied. She smiled her most charming smile and batted her eyelashes at Mad-Eye.
'No, you love that Lupin now' Moody shot back. She blushed, thinking about Remus. Tonks knew that he would be worried; she was over two hours late back, and they had planned something special for tonight…but he would understand…he always understood.
'TONKS' Moody barked. 'You've been daydreaming! Get home this instant!'
Tonks realised the Battle had ended. As she and Moody went out the door, she saw Amycus' still body. She kicked his foot and left him there. She felt like he deserved it.
As she apparated outside her flat, she practiced what she was going to say to Remus. She took a deep breath and wrapped her hand round the door handle…
'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?' Remus cried as soon as Tonks got through the door. 'I've been worried sick, thinking anything could have happened. You were so late; I THOUGHT YOU'D BEEN KILLED!' Remus was shouting now.
Tonks hung her head in shame. She knew, secretly, that Remus would be worried. But there was no way to contact him; she couldn't just walk out of a duel to send an owl to her husband. She truly felt his pain, if Remus had come home late at times of war, she would be going crazy, just not knowing…
'Well?' Remus asked
'I'm…sorry.' Tonks feebly answered.
'Is that it? Is that all you have to say, after I have been going mad over worry in here?' Remus spat.
'What's wrong Remus?' Tonks asked sincerely. 'You seem…angry. Not like you usually are. You usually seem calm in a stressful situation…has anything…happened? Was it the Ministry calling for…you know what?'
Remus looked shifty for a moment, as if he was hiding something. His face tensed a bit, but then he relaxed.
'It's fine Dora' he said on a soft voice. 'I've just had a bit of a shock, that's all, and then you didn't arrive home…' His voice trailed off.
'It's alright Remus. I'm here now.'
Tonks slowly edged towards him. She wrapped her hands around his waist, and she tilted her head forwards. Their lips brushed, and she got a pleasant sensation down her spine. She always got the same sensation, and she never grew tired of it. His hands were in her hair, and they were kissing like they would never let go.
They were interrupted by a harsh knock at the door. Tonks broke away, upset at the disruption.
'I wonder who that could be' she muttered. Remus' eyes widened slightly, as if he knew exactly who was behind the door.
Tonks drew her wand for security measures, and she slowly prised open the door. A woman was standing there; she appeared to have a lot of luggage with her. She had soft brown curls that coiled down her back. She gave off an essence of exquisite beauty, and Tonks felt quite disturbed in her presence, as if she was someone who shouldn't be there.
'I don't mean to be rude…but who exactly are you?' asked Tonks, quite bluntly.
'Don't you know?' The woman asked. She smiled, showing off all her pearly white teeth.
'I'm Amber, Remus' ex-girlfriend!'
Well, that's the end of chapter two. I'm sorry I took so long to update, I was a bit busy :(
I'm sorry this chapter was so short, the next one will be a lot longer, trust me.
Please review, it truly does make my day!
