I Don't Care, You Amaze Me

"When this is all over... we'll stay together, right? It won't be a secret. We'll buy some run- down cottage with a zillion windows and plant flowers," she'll say. And he'll think, we're going to lose this war, or else wise we're going to die in combat. And even if we won, what would change? I'd still be a werewolf. I'd still be poor and old and people would hate me."

Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Later that evening.

Molly asks Tonks to bring him chocolate, and reluctantly, she agrees. She's just reached the fourth landing, when she hears voices. She halts.

"She's a gifted auror. What's the problem?" Asks the first voice.

"There isn't one. She's just too young."

"We were young." There is a pause.

"We were. And James is dead, Sirius."

Sirius lets out a bitter laugh. "Like- like that has anything...completely missed the point," he mumbles. "Is it your time of month again?"

"That joke was never funny."

"Yes it was!" Sirius huffs, standing up and striding to the door.

Tonks steps back quickly, and in her haste, trips down the first step, collapsing in a heap at the bottom of the stairwell.

She doesn't do so noiselessly.

Seconds later, the two men have sprinted out of the doorway, and they're standing over her, and they're starting at her.

"Hey," Tonks says, teeth clenched together. "Just being young. Down the stairs. Nothing new."

Lupin rushes forward.

Please review if you liked (or hated) it! It would completely make my day!

Also, if you want to send me a song, I'll try to do a "song themed" chapter.

Thanks a lot!
