Thanx for the reactions! Keep on sending them!

And eh... this is the 8th chapter allready.

I'm writing on my 13th one at the moment...

Chapter 8

'Firstly, I had to finish the Death Eaters. I was lucky that there weren't a lot of them. It wasn't easy, though. A few other wizards and witches helped me. One of the Death Eaters was Nutt, I think you remember him,' she said, and nodded at Lupin, who nodded back. 'Well, I gave him a broken leg,' she continioud, smirking proudly. Stella and David looked terrified at Tonks.They had decided to come to the ground floor, when they heard Tonks falling on the couch (and Lupin!). Lupin was glad that they had walked slowely. He wasn't sure how they would have reacted if they saw Tonks sitting on him... 'Don't look that terrified,' he said friendly to the children. 'She will not give you a broken leg. It's just her job.' Stella smiled slowely at Tonks. 'To injury and kill the bad guys,' she said simply, nodding.

'Yeah,' smirked Tonks. 'Actually, it is.'

'The Muggles were terrified of the Death Eathers,' continioud Tonks. 'But the Healers from St. Mungo's were already catching them to bring them to the hospital. The phonebooth to the Ministry was completely destroyed. Ah well, most of the wizarding community never used the stupid thing. Anyway, there weren't killed Muggles. Although the woman with the flames on her arms lost both of them, and a kid had five, burning tails. But that will get fixed, I'm sure. After the whole scene, I decided to inform somebody about that Instrument thing, and... What?' David and Stella had blinked and seemed to think very hard. 'Do you know something about the Instrument?' asked Tonks slowely at the two children.

'Well...' started David weakly. He seemed worried, although Lupin didn't knew exactly why. So it was very dangerous, and Dark? Stella was staring at Tonks, with a helpless gaze in her eyes. 'We just heard... But probebly…I…' Stella was searching for words. Or she's afraid to tell us. Tonks was looking at Lupin and smirked. Watch your thoughts. They're easy to read.

Lupin answered: Or you're way to good at Legitimency. Most of the people can only gave images. 'Does something bad happens when you tell us about it?' he asked Stella and David. 'No,' said Stella, with relief. 'But it's just… it's so long ago.' 'It's possible that we inform you the wrong way,' said David. 'I mean: we can have heard things wrong. We can have forgot some very important things, or we mabye even have imagened some things that we never heard.' Tonks frowned. 'Yes, I can imagine that. Mabye…'

Mabye it's better that you tell your story first,' said Lupin suddenly. Than-'

'You're mind get freshed up and you will remember things better, yeah,' finished Tonks.

The children looked suprised at them. Tonks gave them a wink, and continioud with her story.

'I Apparated at the Ministry. They remained calm and were sending Aurors to the Death Eaters and Muggles. They were all busy, but I could talk to an expert in history of magic, a man called Jophius Struck. I explained everything: what we have heard, what happened, that we were in a memory in the Pensieve, about the Death Eaters... 'The Instrument?' he said, when I finally had told him everything. 'That's an old story... There are very little people who know about it. It has always been underestimate, because of the obscurity of the tale.'

'He told me it was an instrument, unknown what kind of instrument. But it was meant to make music with, just 'an ordinary thing'. You-Know-Who had stole it somewhere. When he was about nineteen or twenty years old, he gave it 'powers he only knew about.' Jophius also said about it: 'The Instrument could only be used by those who are blessed, or doomed with the talent of the smoothests.' Tonks frowned and laughed. 'You really help me with that,' I told him. I asked him where this mysterious Instrument can be found. He thought very hard, but than answered: 'On the source of where it all began.' Lupin stared at the ground. 'The source? What kind of source?' Tonks shook her head helplessly. 'He didn't knew. He had read it somewhere. It was the only thing he remembered... Anyway, I have talked to the Aurors, too. Patty Liligus wrote the story down, but said that it wasn't very important at the moment. 'People get attacked, right now, Nymphadora,' she said. 'We can't send some Aurors for something that vague.' So I searched through the Magical Population Index -that's in a very small room on the ground floor-, found this adress and Disappared.'

Tonks took a deep breath and said to the children: 'So...?'

'We didn't even knew that much about the Instrument,' said David. 'The only thing that I can add... is that my parents were involved. ' 'Yes, they were busy to give the Instrument a good place,' remembered Stella, while her eyes narrowed, attempting to think hard. 'That was… David, you know more about it…' 'I think it was about… two or three years ago. We heard them talking about it. With people from the Ministry, I think... Dumbledore… some teachers of a small school for wizards and witches... They... wispered. They looked worried. Frightened.' He shook his head. 'I cannot remember much more, I'm afraid.'

'So, what are we going to do now?' asked Lupin to no one in particular. 'Searching through the house. See if we can find pieches of parchment. Notes, about the Instrument. And you are doing a werewolve lesson tonight,' said Tonks prompt. 'Yeah, I have already planned to do that.' He looked guilty at David and Stella. 'Don't expect me to be a great teacher. Don't expect me to tell everything what is important today. And don't expect that everything what I said is true. Sounds bad, but I can make mistakes, too.' David and Stella nodded soloumny.

'Where do I sleep tonight?' asked Tonks at David. 'Ah, no...' She rolled with her eyes. 'We forgot our suitcases in the hospital. Wait a minute.' She Disapparated with a bang.

'Yeah, where do I sleep?' said Lupin. Stella looked suprised. 'Well, in the bedroom of our parents, of course.' 'Eh… Is that…?' he started weakly. 'No, of course not!' said David.

'Well, and Tonks?' 'You don't die if you sleep in the same bed,' said David flightly.

Bang. Tonks dropped the suitcases on the floor. 'Where?' she asked, not very politely.

'In our parents's bed, with...' 'Allright,' she said. She walked up the stairs, with her suitcase in her hand. Lupin sighed and followed her example.
