Remus looked up at Sirius confusion written over his face.
"Sirius why is Tonks sticky?"
"Well that little gremlin has decided to redecorate your kitchen with flour and honey." Sirius said pointing at her.
"I wa humgw." Tonks said her head still pushed into Moony's legs.
Remus chuckled. "Then why do you still look like this?"
she shrugged.
"HA," Sirius laughed, "She's lying she terrified of baths and you shouldn't use magic on children, I did nothing wrong."
"M'not!"
"Are too!"
"M'not!"
"Are too!"
"M'not!"
"Are-" Remus cut him off before he could continue. "Sirius stop fighting with a three year old!''
Tonks turned around and stuck out her tongue at him. "Did you just see what she did!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Seriously Sirius? Just go down stairs and watch a movie or something. While I get Tonks cleaned up."
Sirius pouted but made his was down stairs anyway and look through a large stack of movies until he found one he'd watch picking up A Nightmare On Elm Street. Sitting down on the coach he waited for his friend to get down stairs.
Upstairs Remus was having less trouble then Sirius was to get her in the bathtub. She still complained about the water when he sat her down in it. But she wasn't crying anymore. Squatting down next to the tub he started to wash the honey out of her hair.
"You okay now?" He asked her.
She nodded and rubbed her eye with her fist.
"You know I can't wait until you get back to your age. I never told you this but I was always nervous to be a father and this would be a lot easier and helpful if you were here helping me."
Tonks was busy splashing the water around her to comprehend anything he was saying.
Laughing at her behavior he lifted her out of the bath wrapping a towel around her.
He transfigurated some of her old clothing into something that would fit her and quickly dressed her. Before gathering Tonks in his arms and bringing her downstairs. Her head was resting on his shoulder eyes closed and she was breathing peacefully.
"Hey." Remus said as he sat down next to Sirius. On the screen another teen was murdered. "Out of all possible movie you pick this one?" He asked rolling his eyes.
"Of cores who doesn't love Freddy Kruger." He felt Tonks move around slightly in his arms.
"So what did Dumbledore say? Does he know how to change Tonks back?" Sirius asked taking his eyes off the TV.
"He didn't even know that there were spells to change ages. I even asked Snape."
"It HAS to be bad when you go to Snape for advise." Sirius said with a shiver.
Remus chuckled at that nodding in agreement. Before the two boys turned back to the movie.
It was 6:oo when the movie was over and Tonks was still sleeping on him. Lifting her up he brought her upstairs to their room before making the couch into a makeshift bed.
Remus just dosed off when a very scared "WEMUS!" woke him.
He sprinted up the stairs to were Tonks was stopping and the opened door and looked inside.
Tonks was sitting up straight blankets pulled around her as if to give her a hood looking completely terrified.
"Whats wrong?" he asked as he walked over to the bed.
"be cawful!" Tonks exclaimed while looking around the floor. " for what?" as soon as he made it to the bad the small girl all but jumped him while whimpering. "There's somein under the bed!" Lupin let out a sigh. You have got to be kidding me. He thought to himself. Rolling his eyes he turned on the bedside lamp. And got off the bed to look underneath. "No it's gonna get you""and what does it look like?"
"it's wearlly big an black and as big yellow teeth!" looking under he couldn't help but chuckle as he pulled out the only thing under the bed.Tonks jumped back expecting some ferocious beast instead of a old coat ripped in some places.
"Is this your monster?" He asked smiling at the girl.
" I swear it had teeth!" She yelled back up at him.
Tonks continued to look around the room like she was scared.
Remus lifted her up in his arms and she pushed her head in his shoulders. "I don't like Freddie Kruger."
"Ah. So you were watching the movie." she nodded head her head not leaving the spot.
Remus brought her downstairs considering that she wouldn't sleep upstairs after thinking that a monster was hiding under her bed.
He sat her down on the makeshift bed and was about to crawl in beside her with the small tic of an owl at the window alerted him.
Walking towards the window he opened the glass and let in the barn owl. It flew over to the table holding the letter in its beak. "Dear Remus and Nymphadora, I wanted to invite the two of you down for tea tomorrow
I haven't seen either of you in a while.
Love Andromeda." "shit."
