Week 34
My Mission
When Monday morning came around I was all ready to go to work. The sun was shinning and it was very warm. I packed a small box with all the files from work that I had to bring back, I put some string around it and gave it to my owl and sent it off to my work. When I made it to work, I went to the owlery and got the package from my owl and sent it home. I went to my office and too the files out of the box and walked to Shacklebolt's office, where he was waiting for me.
"I have your field assignment." He said.
"Okay. Is it fun?" I asked.
"A better word would be hard. How are your Animagus skills?" Shacklebolt asked
"Um...they could use some work." I answered.
"Okay. So here is your assignment. You will be following a man by the named William Collins. He is a werewolf, and since I know that the last time Remus was put undercover to watch him, he did a great job and still has his trust, you got violently sick and extremely sad. So you are to join Remus here. You are to be his lover. You may have to do things that are different. You will meet Remus here." Shacklebolt pointed at a place on the map, that I can't tell you...maybe someday.
After I left the office, I apparated home and packed my bag, I also brewed Remus' potion in case I don't have time. I put into the potion into a bottle and slide it into my bag. I also put 2 bars of chocolate into my bag and some sugar into my bag as well. After I was sure that I had packed everything and that I hadn't forgot anything, I locked all the doors and apparated to where Remus was to meet me.
"Well, I wasn't expecting you love." Remus said as he saw me.
"Well, you know. I am the best. Here, hang on to this." I said as I got Remus to hang onto my bag. I pulled out a mirror from my bag and began to change my face so that it looked more werewolfish (scratches on my face and body like Remus and changed my hair colour to a brownish red), to match Remus when he turns into a wolf.
"There, all better. How do I look Remus?" I asked
"You looked better the other way, but that'll do." he replied jokingly. I gave him a smile and took my bag from him, put my mirror into my bag and we started walking to our destination. I wore a tank top that was purplish, with a black fitted trench coat over it, along with black loosely fitting pants.
When we got to the destination we saw a small pack of werewolves getting ready for the full moon this Friday night. We walked over to William Collins and greeted him; Remus introduced me to him, and never in my life have I ever been so scared as in that one moment. William Collins looked at me, no glared at me, like I was a piece of meat. I don't remember much of the conversation, only shrinking into Remus and hearing him growl to William 'She's mine'.
The whole entire day flew by. We stayed with William for most of it. He wanted to show Remus around the camp and wanted to seek his approval. We were shown our tent and left there for about an hour or two.
"Why does William always want your approval on things? At least he seems to." I whispered to Remus.
"Because I am much older than he is; it's like an unwritten rule. I don't have a pack of my own, so I joined his, but I don't want to lead it." Remus explained.
"Oh, I see. I think we will be staying here on Friday night, for the full moon." I commented
"Me too, and that worries me." Remus said, moving his eyes away from mine. "I might hurt you."
"No you won't. I mixed your potion and brought chocolate. They will never be able to smell it." I told Remus with a smile on my face.
"Nymph. I can't take it. They'll smell it. They'll know, like they always do. Listen, if we get back to your apartment on Friday then I'll take; if not, I'll need you to throw it away. Okay?" Remus said almost panicky.
"Okay. I understand. I hope we get back home. I don't like this place." I whispered.
"Oh just you wait." Remus assured me.
I wonder what I've gotten myself into. I thought.
As Remus and I unpacked in silence; when a man, who I had seen earlier today, to tell us that some of the men in the pack were going out hunting. Remus agreed to go out hunting and that they would leave in about 20 minutes. The man stayed with us for a little while just staring at me.
"Why are you scared?" The man asked.
"Pardon?" I answered.
"I can smell it on you, the whole pack can." He replied.
"I've never been to a pack before. I've always been so isolated." I responded. The man walked over to me and bushed up against me.
"Let's hope so; for if you are lying, you will not live to see the next moon." The man said into my ear. At the comment, Remus came over, grabbed his arm and turned him around. Remus started growling, lowly at first. I had never seen Remus act that way.
"She's mine, and you stay away from her." Remus said, still Growling at the man.
Remus was acting very protective of me. When Remus left, I finished unpacking and decided to go outside and meet new people, because Remus was with William, watching his every move. When I went outside, I found a person that looked like the woman that William had been quite close to before we were greeted. I walked over to her, to get a better look at her.
"Hi" I greeted her.
"Hey" she said "My name Cindy."
"I'm Dora." I replied
"Your Remus' aren't you?" She commented
"I am. Your William's?" I asked
"I don't know what I am to him. He picked me out of my old pack. Now I'm in this one and totally isolated when William is gone." She told me. I watched her for a little bit.
"Will tell me about this place? Please." I asked Cindy.
"What would you like to know?" She replied to my question.
"Okay. Um, did William ask everyone to join his pack like he did with you?" I asked.
"Most of us, with the exception of a few; Remus was never asked to join, he just showed up one day. William thinks a lot of him because he has endured so much in his life." She told me.
Cindy and I talked for a while, until the guys came back. Cindy and I both stood up to greet Remus and William. Remus looked different somehow. I don't what it was, but there was just something in his eyes. Remus broke off from the pack, and stood by our tent. I said my good-byes to Cindy and went to Remus.
"Hey." He said as he wrapped his arms and kissed me very passionately.
"Hey yourself. What was that for?" I asked.
"For being beautiful. Come on." Remus replied as he led me into the tent.
"What are we doing?"I asked. He began to kiss my collar bone, up my neck and ended kissing my lips. I could feel my hair begin to change colour and suddenly I realized that I had no control over my metamorphmagus powers.
"Stop Remus, stop. Not here, not when we're under cover." I told him as I pushed him off me slightly. When he stopped, I pointed at my hair.
"Oh...sorry, I forgot about that." Remus said apologetically.
"That's fine. We just do that...again...when we're here."I explained.
"Okay. I can deal with that. We're only here for till Friday or Saturday." Remus told me.
"You mean they didn't tell you how long we're going to be here?" I asked now that I was starting to panic.
"No, Dumbledore just told me that he would send a sign and that I would know it when I saw it." Remus whispered to me.
"Sounds alright I guess. I suppose I was hoping that we could go home and have the weekend to ourselves were it is the full moon weekend." I whispered back.
"I know my Dora, I know." He said as he held me, "Let's go get something to eat."
"Sounds good, I am starting to get hungry." I replied to Remus.
Remus and I walked to the Dining tent, and I listened to him tell me about the hunting that he had done. I spent most of the night listening to Remus talk about the hunting that took place this afternoon. The night flew by quite quickly. Most of the pack laid outside watching the moon rise, and it looked absolutely gorgeous. After awhile Remus sat up and tugged on my arm; so I sat up and followed him to our tent, hand in hand.
"I need to explain my actions this afternoon." Remus began.
"No, you don't Remus." I retorted.
"Yes, I do. It's the moon's pull, you see. I can feel the wolf's power, and the reason why I always want you near, when the moon gets full, is because I love you so dearly, and the wolf recognizes you as mine as well. Both it and I want you so much." Remus explained, as he put his hand on my cheek and then leaned down and kissed me.
"Oh Remus." I answered as I hugged him tightly.
Remus and I talked all night and for most of the nights in that week, and during the day we both stayed close to Cindy and William. On, Friday, everything changed; William thought it would be a good idea if Remus and I stay in his tent with Cindy and William during the transformation. This notion made me very scared, for the reason being that I am not a werewolf; but how could we refuse an offer like this, when Remus and I are to watch William every moment of the day. So we agreed to stay with them on Friday night.
So, here's what Friday looked like:
I have been working faithfully trying to become a werewolf, and sometimes it made Remus laugh uncontrollably. It isn't that bad here I guess, once you got used to it. Early in the morning once the sun rose, everyone in the pack was awake. Since today was the night of a full moon, Remus and I were to go to Cindy and William's tent immediately when we woke up to get today's "orders". Apparently, we were to spend the whole day with Cindy and William, Remus and I had spent enough time with them to be let into their ultimate plan. As we were walking toward their tent curiosity grabbed hold of me.
"Remus, have you gotten an owl lately?" I asked
"No, I didn't Dora...Did you?" He asked suspiciously
"No, I was just wondering if you knew when we could leave."I hissed
"Oh, is that all." He growled. "Then in that case we wait for the all clear."
"This mission is not as fun as I had previously thought." I whispered, waving to a few people in the pack.
"Dora, were almost to the tent, drop the subject, or else." Remus threaten
"Fine." I replied curtly.
Remus put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He has been doing this all week, not that I didn't mind, it just seemed different, like he was proud that I loved him. We got closer to the tent and saw Cindy and William talking to each other.
"Hi." Remus and I greeted the couple.
"Let's go for a walk. There are some things we should speak of." William said.
"Okay, let's go." Remus answered.
As we walked, William and Remus walked together in front of Cindy and I; neither Cindy nor I said anything, we were just listening. Once we got to the edge of the camp. The look on William's face changed to a more concerning look.
"This is privileged information that most of them couldn't even dream of knowing. And here it is. Three weeks ago, we got a message from Greyback, saying that he will be bringing his pack to join this one. He claims that the Dark Lord has personally asked him to take over this pack. He is raising an army and we intent to join his cause. By November, this pack will be moving east, to set up just beside the forest by Hogwarts. We will be training there for about a year, then we attack Hogwarts, on Greyback's command, and we will gladly do it for a just cause, such as this. Will you both support us? Will you bring your back with us?" William explained.
"We will have to discuss this privately at my girlfriend's apartment, although must likely we will join you." Remus told William.
"Sounds reasonable. Greyback will be here by September, of the next full moon. We will need your decision by then Remus; we cannot wait any longer for you than that." William told Remus.
"Okay, we will leave tomorrow morning after the full moon, before anyone is awake. It is a long distance walk to her apartment." Remus commented.
"Sounds good, will you spend the rest of the day with us?" William stated.
"Sure." Remus answered.
The four of us walked through the woods, spending almost all day together. By dinner time, the four of us went back to the camp and had dinner, talking about Greyback, and his marvellous plan to raise a werewolf army. By 5:00 the moon was starting to rise, I went to the tent and Remus followed me. TO be perfectly honed I started to get scared because of the whole werewolf thing.
"Turn into a werewolf now please." Remus said coaching me.
"Okay." And with that I did. It felt weird turning into a werewolf. It was different than changing my appearance, this time I was changing my bone structure and everything that goes along with changing. By the time I finished changing the moon was already full and Remus began to change as well. It was so different seeing Remus through the eyes of another wolf.
Being a wolf with Remus was amazing; he and I walked out of the tent as wolves and went over to what looked like Cindy and William. Remus and I walked around the camp as wolves and for the most part the other wolves were leaving us alone. Since the other wolves were leaving us alone, we walked back to the tent that we stayed in and I began to pack my bag, when I realized that I could not find the potion that I had made for Remus several days before. I turned to face Remus but his nose was skimming my face. He started nuzzling me, which felt weird being a werewolf and all. I began to pack the bag so we could leave when everyone fell asleep. For most of the night we waited, but I had fallen asleep, and before sunrise Remus gentle nudged me awake. I changed back into a human and waited for the sun to rise enough for Remus to turn back into a human.
We silently left the camp and walked out into the forest. When Remus thought he heard something in the distance; we kept walking for a while until Remus picked up the smell of Greyback. Remus quickly grabbed on to my hand and apparated into my apartment, where it was safe. Remus then put his arms around me and whispered in my ear.
"Do you mind if I fall asleep in your bed."
"No, not at all." I replied, with that I led Remus to my bed and tucked him in. Then I took a shower and joined Remus in my bed to fall asleep.
End of this week.
Week 35
Aftermath
By Monday morning, Remus and I were both well rested. Remus had asked if he could stay with me another night and I had agreed. When I got to work, there were a million things to do, and reports were finally building up on my desk. I also had to give Shacklebolt my report on the werewolf pack. Shacklebolt had if there were any werewolves that were good, and my reply was 'Only Remus'. By the time I got home, there was a note on the coffee table. It read:
My Dear Nymph
After you left for work, I realized that I had to do something at Grimmauld Place. I'm sorry to getting your hopes up. Maybe I'll see you sometime this week.
Love always
Remus
What is he up to? I wondered.
By Tuesday, my curiosity spiked. After work, I came home and found that there was another note on my coffee table. It read:
My Dear Nymph,
I hope you don't have any plans for this Saturday.
Love
Remus
PS. There is a meeting at Grimmauld Place on Friday. Sirius promised it would be fun.
What am I doing on Saturday?
Wednesday was pretty boring, with no notes and all, but it left me wondering, what Remus was up to, and why he was not coming over to my apartment.
By the time Friday came around I was extremely curious. I didn't even get a letter from Remus for the rest of the week. When I got to Grimmauld Place, Remus was already there and he was talking to Sirius.
"Hey Sirius, hey Remus." I said.
"Hi" they replied.
"How are you both?" I asked
"Bored out of my mind." Sirius Reminded me. "Why don't you come visit me more often, Tonks?" Sirius asked.
"I'm sorry Sirius, I've been extremely busy." I told him.
"Sure you have been." Sirius retorted. By this time, I noticed that Remus had left the room. I wonder why he has been avoiding me.
The meeting lasted about an hour and a half. No new information was told, Remus ended up talking to Dumbledore at the end of the meeting. I couldn't tell what they were saying but I was thinking that it was about our mission that we went on last week. I went up to the room that Remus and I normally share, and waited there for a couple minutes. Remus came up and poked his head into the room, and said:
"My apartment, 6pm, tomorrow."
"Um, okay." I replied, then apparated from his room to my apartment.
This is going to be so much fun. I thought.
When Saturday finally came by, I spend my whole entire day in Diagon Alley, trying to find something for Remus, when I stumbled upon a candy store, so I bought four bars of chocolate, and some potion supplies. Afterward, I apparated to Grimmauld Place, and found Dumbledore sitting on a chair reading the newspaper.
"Nymphadora, I did not get a chance to talk to you last night." He said
"Ya, I meant to speak with you last night, but I got caught up in other things." I replied.
"I was wondering, since Remus gave me his written report on the mission, I want your oral report on the mission, off the record." Dumbledore told me.
"Um...the mission was terrifying at first, but having Remus there, made it easier to coup with the fear of being bitten. We made excellent progress in regards to William and what appears to be his mate Cindy. He told us about You – Know – Who's plan and how he's using Greyback to raise a werewolf army." I explained.
"Good, good. You and Remus are an excellent team. I hope you don't mind me pairing you up like that again in the future." Dumbledore replied.
"No, not at all. I enjoyed working with Remus in that context." I replied.
"Good. Now according to Remus, you have to do something now." Dumbledore said ending the conversation.
Dumbledore was right. I had to go. I apparated to Remus' living room; he was standing in the middle of the room looking nervous.
"Hi" I greeted him.
"Hi." He replied. He walked over to me and put his hands on my waist and slowly moved them to my back. Remus then leaned in and kissed me passionately.
"I love you" Remus told me.
"I love you too. What are we doing here?" I asked.
"I wanted to have dinner with you. Seeing as you don't cook really well, I thought I would take the liberty in cooking for you." Remus told me.
"Why thank you." I replied. We stood embracing for several moments. "I really feel safe with you, Remus, I feel safe in your strong arms." I whispered into his shoulders.
He kissed my forehead, letting his lips stay on my forehead for a while. Remus then pulled away from me, but kept his hand in my hand, and led me into the kitchen. I hoped up on the table, and watched him cook. We spent most of our time watching each other, and after dinner, we sat on the couch, snuggled underneath a blanket watching a movie, with a bowl of popcorn.
"Remus, may I ask you something." I said
"You never have to ask permission my love." He replied gently.
"Okay, do you have...?" I trailed off as I fell asleep to the sound of Remus' breathing patterns.
