Chapter 12
'What do you want?' asked Tonks angryly.
'Guess what? I want the Instrument,' said Snape lightly. 'I know that you know about it. You saw the memory in the Pensieve of that child, just like Lupin saw.'
Tonks's eyes flickered towards Lupin's. 'I don't know anything about the Instrument. Ah well... I know as much as you know, probebly. And besides, I do not trust a word you say. You have been lying for years to Dumbledore.'
'Forget about the man,' smiled Snape and Lupin hated him intensly.
Snape walked towards Tonks. She didn't moved, but looked very angry at Snape.
'Tell me about the Instrument, or I'll kill your dear friend,' said Snape sweetly, with his face close to Tonks's. He pointed his wand at her and yelled: 'Legilimens!'
Tonks roared loudly and pushed him away from her, with her eyes closed.
'You bloody coward!' she yelled.
And things happened very fast after that. In a few seconds, Tonks had grabbed her wand and the two of them had changed into a bunch of sparks, incantations, colours and running body's. Lupin had to blink often to (visually) keep up with them, but he couldn't. After a few minutes, Tonks was lying on ther back on the ground, a meter or two away from Lupin.
Snape was sitting beside her, on his knees. They were both panting and looked hatefully af each other, allthough Tonks looked frightened and embarresed, too.
'Tell me!' roared Snape. 'I don't know anything!' said Tonks calmly, while she moved a bit away from Snape. He grabbed her arm. 'I saw a flash of Jophius Struck.'
'Yeah, so?' said Tonks nervousley.
'I'm a way too good Legilimens to know that you know more, my Nymphadora!' screamed Snape. 'I'm not your Nymphadora, you dirty-' yelled Tonks, with fear in her eyes.
Lupin's heart was beating very fast. He knew that there had been more going on between Snape and Tonks, and he didn't liked that at all.
'No, you're not, eh?' roared Snape. 'What about that-'
Tonks yelled. 'Shut up, you monster! SHUT UP!'
This was really not good...
'You didn't told your boyfriend, did you?' laughed Snape.
Tonks roared, took her wand and screamed: 'Levicorpus!'
Snape hang upside down in the air, his greasy hair before his eyes.
He looked embarresed. Tonks gave a flick with her wand and he fell with a 'boom!' on the ground. 'How was your youth, Snape?' shouted Tonks angry.
'Dirty little-' began Snape agressive, looking painfull, but Tonks stood up and hit him in the stomach.
Snape gasped for air, and Tonks tried to run away. 'Ponerius!' screamed Snape,
his wand in his hand. Tonks froze in her run. Snape runned towards her and flicked with his wand. She unfroze and started to scream directly.
'What the-!'
'Information, Nymphadora,' he said serene. 'He's not-'
'I don't care about your fucking LORD!'
'Of course you don't, you're-'
'I'm not going to say a word, allright?'
'I'll have to make you!'
He pointed his wand at Lupin.
'Speak,' he said calmly.
Tonks screamed: 'Oppugnaro!' Snape fell on his back, cursing.
She started to run directly. Lupin saw her. She was running and running, all the adreneline going through her body and making her faster than he could imagine. Snape went after her.
They quickly turned into two small points, and then disappeared, out of the forest.
