"So Tonksie it looks like it's just you and me," Sirius said looking down at the little girl in his arms. This won't be hard, he thought to himself. I've babysat Tonks before I can do it again. Anyways he needed more ways to tease her because her balance and dating Moony could only piss her off for so long and even he wasn't that stupid enough to make fun of her name. She clearly stated that the next time he did so he'd be missing one of his balls and she's wasn't one to give out empty threats.

Tonks was now resting her head on his shoulder and thumb in her mouth her eyes were half closed making her look very drowse.

"Hmm.." was her reply.

He rolled his eyes. "Your too easy." he smirked down at the girl.

Before caring her to her room and tucking her in. And came back down stairs to lay down on the couch.

And to think Mooney thought that he could never babysit a child.

CRASH

"BOODY HELL" Sirius exclaimed eyes flying open and running into the kitchen were the nose had came from. Expecting death eaters.

Not Expecting to see broken honey jars, a chair flipped over and a very sticky Tonks sitting in the middle of it all.

Biting his lip so he wouldn't laugh he started to make his way over to the small mess known as Nymphadora. But what happened next he could only thank Merlin for my many chances to annoy her with.

A bag a flour sitting on the top cover fell over Making a once sticky Tonks a snow white one.

"achoo!" Sirius let out his bark like laugh as Tonks began sneezing while trying to get the demon white powder off by flinging her arms around and shaking her head.

Getting his laughing under control he put his arms on his hips impersonating her mother. "Nymphadora!" He exclaimed, "What did you do!"

She opened her mouth to what he guessed to correct him on her name when she shut it again. And instead let out a whimpered, " m' humgwy."

Sirius face palmed himself. "And why didn't you ask me to get you something?"

"I can get it m'self." Tonks crossed her arms across her chest. His eyes darted around the room before coming to rest again on Tonks.

"If you could get it yourself then why are you now powered with flour?"

The three year old sent him a glare which really looked more like a squint. Moony would kill him if he came back to see her like this. Without a second thought he stepped over the mess and snatched Tonks off the ground to give her a bath.

Remus shook the soot off himself stepping out of the fireplace into his old headmaster's office.

Dumbledore looked up as he stepped out. " Ah Remus pleasure to see you. Have a seat. Lemon drop?" The old man asked as he held out a small tin half filled with small yellow candies.

"No thank you Sir."

"No reason to call me sir Remus I haven't been your headmaster in a while." He said smiling kindly back at him

"I have a small problem. Well more like a very large problem and a small girl.. You see Dora's a child" Stopping to take a breath he looked up at Dumbledore.

"Now Remus I thought you two were past all this nonsense."

"we are. But I mean it literally she's a child she was hit with a curse and now she 3."

Dumbledore looked at him for a long time. Before he sighed. "I've never heard of a spell like that before."

"neither have I looked through any book I owned trying to find anything on changing age, but came up with nothing."

"Strange, do you know what the spell was called?" Albus asked?

Remus shook his head. "I wasn't with her when she was hit."

"perhaps Severus might have an idea." and with that Remus fallowed the head master down to the dungeons.

"Tonks." Sirius groaned out as he chased the three year old around the bathroom. It turned out that Tonks at three was slightly terrified of water and would rather stay sticky then touch the bath tub water.

"No bath!" she yelled out. As she hid behind a garbage can in a corner. Sirius happily ran over to her now that she was cornered before picking her up and bringing her over to the tub. Tonks realizing were he was taking her began to wail louder and kick at him.

"Padfoot what are you doing?" Moony's voice came from the hall.

Sirius turned around holding the struggling child at arms length to see Remus standing in the door way holding a package of what looked like dippers.

"Wemus!" Tonks cried sighing Sirius sat her on the ground as soon as her feet hit the ground she ran

over to Remus and hugged his legs.

Remus looked up at Sirius confusion written over his face.

"Sirius why is Tonks sticky?"
