Vacation Over

Tonks PoV

"Nymphadora, Molly was asking when you were heading to Diagon Alley to shop for the school books. Bill will come along with us as Molly's really busy with the twins." Mum asked as she entered the drawing room from the kitchen as I lounged lazily in front of the TV, flipping through channels.

"Back to school, already? Where did summer go?" I groaned. "And Mum, how many times do I have to tell you, call me Tonks. Must you embarrass me in front of my classmates too?"

"I will not be calling my daughter by her last name. You must accept your given name. All children do so."

"But Mum, Aunt Molly calls Bill, Bill only, not William."

"That may be so, she will raise her child as she sees fits. And this is the end of the discussion. Now, when are you going shopping for the supplies?"

Brightening up at the chance to meet Bill early, I forgot about it and replied, "Tell her I am free anytime. If he's free tomorrow then we'll get it over with tomorrow itself. I still can't believe summer's over already."

"Okay, then. Get a little back from the TV, it'll hurt your eyes. Before long you'll end up having glasses."

I rolled my eyes, "Yes mother. I'll do that in a little while."
