A/N: Ok, this one will hopefully be longer than the last... me and my short chapters!

Tonks awoke to find herself asleep on the floor of the drawing room. She rolled over and pushed herself to her knees. The couch beside her was empty and she wondered why Remus hadn't woke her up for work. Then it struck her.WHAT TIME IS IT!!! Oh i bet im late for work! She stood and barreled down the hall and started leaping down the stairs 3 at a time. She spun around the last landing and leapt the whole 7 steps and landed on the floor with a thud. She rolled over and stood and ran into the kitchen to find Molly cooking at the stove.

"Molly! What time is it?" She panted while favoring her right knee. Her landing hadn't exactly been very good.

"Tonks,dear! are you alright? Oh, its about eight. I let everyone have a bit of a lie in today." Molly smiled up from her soup. "If I had known you were still here I'd have got you up for some tea and breakfast before work." Tonks forced a smile back and turned to the door.

Tonks ran out into the hall and past the dusty portraits and didn't even bother to slow down as she wrenched open the front door. She heard the beginning wails of Mrs. Black's portrait untill the shutting door cut off the noise. She quickly apparated to the Ministry lobby's apparation point.

She opened her eyes to see the atrium full of Ministry workers making their way towards the golden lifts. She joined the throng and waited. Just as the grills of the nearest lift were closing, she squeezed herself through and found herself squished between a wizard with what looked like an old boot on his head, and a witch who had on bright green robes that were nearly blinding to look at. She waited impatiently at each floor.

Tonks was nearly shaking as the cool female voice finally announced: "Level Two, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, including the Improper Use of Magic Office, Auror Headquarters, and Wizengamot Administration Services". As soon as the doors were wide enough for her to get through she was walking briskly towards the heavy oak doors which lead to the auror headquarters. She had just sat down behind her desk when a large stack of reports suddenly appeared beside a tray labeled 'IN'. Tonks sighed halfheartedly and pulled a file of the top of the stack and set to work.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Tonks was just shutting a file labeled: 'UNLUCKY BRA'. Apparantly, some teen witches had gotten in a fight and one had took to cursing the others clothing items so the wearer would have unfortunate accidents for the duration of the time spent wearing the garments. "What has this world come to?" Tonks muttered to herself.

"I said the same thing to myself when i read a similar file concerning men's dress socks." Tonks jumped as Kingsley Shacklebolt spoke. "It was a very scary sittuation, that was."

"Merlin Kingsley! You nearly scared me out of my chair!" Tonks was breathing deeply trying to steady her nerves. "What is it you want?"

Kingsley wasted no time comming around her desk and pretending to read over her shoulder. "I have a message from Remus Lupin. He says to remind you that he has Guard Duty tonight, but not to worry because he has already thought up a plan for rescuing Potter. He says he will let you know tomorrow. He also told me about it and says that its going to be discussed at tomorrow nights meeting and then carried out the next night."

Kingsley straightened up and said loudly, "Now I want this file taken to my desk immediatley after you finish." He winked as he walked out of her cubicle and to the left.

Tonks spent the rest of the evening making a Howler to send to Charlie in Romania. About five minutes from time to go home she finished. She smiled to herself and thought That will certainly scare the daylights out of my dear Charlie.

A/N: I'm sooo sorry that its so short and that it isn't that great. Its really just a filler chapter to explain a few things. The next chapter i write will be the Order meeting where people volunteer to rescue Harry. I'm wanting to know, should I, of should I not write the actual rescue from her POV.. I mean, everyone knows what happens and i really dont think her POV will be much different from the actual JK telling of that part.. Review telling what you think: Rescue story, or not"
