Week 44

Dumbledore's letter

So, I now am still heartbroken. After last Saturday night's run in with Remus, I have gone back to square one. I don't think I can handle being just a friend after everything we've been through already. So from Monday to Wednesday, I spent all my time buried in my work, staying at the office late and avoiding Grimmauld Place at all costs. On Wednesday night when I came home at about 8:30, I noticed an owl perched outside my window waiting for my return. When I opened the window I noticed that the bird wasn't an owl it was Fawks the Phoenix. Fawks gracefully flies onto my coffee table and puts down a letter. I pick it up and it has my full name written on outside of the letter. The letter goes as follows:

Dear Nymphadora

I have noticed that you have not been at Grimmauld Place for quite some time. I have been hoping that I could catch you at Grimmauld Place but it is in the gravest importance that I do speck with you. Please come by Hogwarts on Saturday afternoon, since you have refused to go to Grimmauld Place. Come to my office at 2:30 pm. Thank you.

Sincerely

Dumbledore

Why does Dumbledore want to see me? - I wondered.

I walked over to my desk and grabbed a piece of paper and wrote the words I'll be there.Then I gave it to Fawks and with that the phoenix left my house. For the next two days I was asking everyone at the ministry that I knew was in the Order, if Dumbledore had been looking for, and their answers were a resounding 'yes'. With this new knowledge made me nervous; If Dumbledore was looking to talk to me and I wasn't in easy access, then it raises the question...Is Dumbledore mad at me?

By the time Saturday, came I managed to make it to Hogwarts by 2:20. I had just enough time to run up the stairs to Dumbledore's office with out being late. As I walked in I noticed that Dumbledore wasn't there either.

"Ah, Nymphadora. I'm so glad you made it. Sorry I'm late, but the castle was having some problems with the ghost inhabitants. "Dumbledore started.

"That's alright, I just got here." I replied.

"Good, good. I have a favour to ask of you." Dumbledore answered.

"Alright, what do you want me to do?" I asked.

"There is a room here in Hogwarts, we need the room to be soundproof, waterproof and we need it to be hidden from those who don't know what their looking for." Dumbledore started

"Don't we have a room for that though? It's the room of requirements."I answered.

"That room is being used at the moment by the students of Hogwarts...I need a different room for this exercise." Dumbledore answered.

"Okay, where did you want me to put it?" I asked.

"You remember the secret passage way under the castle?" Dumbledore started

"Yes I remember that one." I replied.

"Well, we started to build a room there, in case, something ever happened. But with Umbridge here watching us every minute of the day, it has become harder to do anything so I need you to help finish off the room." Dumbledore explained.

"I would love to help. When would you like me to start?"I told Dumbledore.

"How does next Friday night. I might take the weekend. Is that okay?" Dumbledore told me.

"Ya, it's fine." I replied.

"Okay, thank you Nymphadora. I'll see you next Friday at 7, then?" Dumbledore finished.

"Sure, Next Friday at 7. I'll see you then." I said then jumped up and left the castle in a hurry.

As I was leaving the castle I noticed someone walking into the castle through another route. I was almost sure it was Remus, but I couldn't make out the finer features of the person. So I continued to walk out of the castle and continued home so I could get ready for an undercover mission That Shacklebolt was sending me on for the first part of next week. He had said it had something to do with new management of our section of the ministry, so of course we all went along with it.

When I got home not much happened as I think I'll leave it there.

Week 45

Trapped with Remus

I left my journal at my apartment for the course of my leave on "field work"; the so called field work was just about as boring at those nearly non existent. I spent 4 whole days out in the wilderness, doing nothing but workshops on self defence. I got home on Thursday night very late and I can really write anything about my trip.

On Friday night I decided to go to Hogwarts to see what Dumbledore wanted me to do. When I got there and looked around the job seemed pretty easy. All I needed to do was take out a couple walls and the place would be big enough to hold at least a hundred people at one time which is al big.

The next day, I came prepared with my wand in hand ready to do some damage. When I got to Hogwarts I went to Dumbledore's office and waited for him to arrive. Ten minutes after I arrived, Remus came into Dumbledore's office.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"Dumbledore asked me to do some things on the tunnels. What are you doing here?" Remus replied

"Working on other tunnels." I answered

"Oh... Sirius told me that you were skipping out on some of the meetings at Grimmauld Place." Remus Pried.

"So what if I am?" I answered curtly.

"You shouldn't be missing meetings because of me." Remus told me

"I am not missing meetings because of you. I've just been busy." I retorted

"Uh huh." Was Remus' only reply and with that Fawks the Phoenix came flying into the Dumbledore's office with a letter in his beck. The letter read:

Dear Nymphadora and Remus

I trust that you both are enjoying your stay in my office. Once you both get this letter the doors in my office will be locked and will not open until you both are able to be civil to each other for more than 10 minutes. My office doors will open automatically when everything is worked out.

Good Luck

Dumbledore

"Well, this is lovely." I said

"Sure is" Remus replied "Tonks..." Remus started as he put the letter sown on the desk and leaned against the wall. "I never meant to..."

"Never meant to what Remus...Hurt me?...It's a little late for that. When you left Sirius and I...I was worried sick about you. I went looking for you and then you tell me that you don't want to be with me, but then you tell me that you still love me ...Oh ya Remus, you hurt me." I ranted.

Remus hung his head and kept his eyes on the floor. There was a long silence and I sat down in a chair on the other side of the room. Then suddenly Remus said something.

"I'm too old for you."

"Excuse me?" I said sitting up straighter and leaning forward.

"I'm too poor for you." Remus continued not even paying attention to me, so I stood up and walked over to Remus.

"And I'm too dangerous for you, that's why I had to break it off before I went to find Greyback, because I didn't want him to have you. I didn't want him to hurt you. If he smelt you on me, then he would have found you and taken you for himself." Remus explained

When I got over to Remus I put both of my hands on either side of his face and made him look at me.

"Listen to me Remus. You are not poor. You are not too old...okay, you might be 15 years older than me, but watch my face...I don't care. And that thing about being too dangerous, although I'm really glad you care about me, you become like a puppy during the full moon. And you're very cute as a werewolf and a very handsome man. I am very much still in love with you Remus." I ranted to him.

"I don't deserve you." Remus continued

"Even the poorest man deserves happiness and love." I replied.

" But you're hearing me. I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous to ensure your safety." Remus retorted

"And you're not hearing me. I don't care." I said raising my voice slightly

Remus and I stayed where we were. Just standing there with my hands on each side of his face, we stood in silence. Then Remus spoke.

" I just want you to find someone you deserve."

"But I want you. I deserve you." I replied try to convince him

He moved away from my grasp and walked across the room.

"I am still in love with you." I whispered "And I want to be with you forever."

"Oh Nymphadora." Remus started saying while his back was facing me "I still love you too."

"Then don't do this Remus. Please." I pleaded as I grasped Remus' arm and turned him around.

"Nymph...I mean Tonks. I didn't want to see anything happen to you." Remus stammered

"The past 9 months have been filled with terrible and wonderful things for me to just throw this relationship away." I said softly, then stood on my tiptoes to kids his check

With a heavy sigh from Remus, he placed his hand on my face and brought his face down to mine. He kissed me like he had never kissed me before. When we broke apart, he had this sly smile on his face.

"You win" He said

"I sure did." I replied as I kissed him again

-Click –

"What do you think that was?" I asked as I gasped for air.

" The doors were unlocking." Remus replied

"Oh. Well that's good. I guess. We can leave now. Right?" I asked

"Ya, lets go." Remus said as he took my hand and we walked out of Dumbledore's office.

"Now I only have one question for you" Remus added

"What's that?" I replied

"Your apartment or mine?" Remus asked

"Yours." I replied again.

He and I walked out of the school and went to his apartment, and that's where I'll leave it.
