A/N: Don't let the title of the chapter worry you. I'm no where near done here. A whole load of hurt is in the works.
PRESENT
The bus rolled up in the station and Tonks bounced up and down on the balls of her feet, desperate to get back to Remus. She'd changed her appearance back to it's normal look, seeing no further need for a disguise.
A man and two women stepped off and looked around expectantly. It had to be them. Tonks stepped forward in front of them.
"Erm…Shaun? Anya? Sky?" she asked tentatively amazed that she'd managed to remember their names. The youngest looking woman stepped forward suspicion etched all over her face.
"Who are you?"
"We haven't got a lot of time. My name is Tonks and Remus needs our help now,"
The mention of Remus' name seemed to have done the trick and the werewolves exchanged a significant look before hurrying after Tonks who was already out of the bus station.
Remus laid on the bed straining at the bonds around his wrists, they were impossibly tight and without a wand he had no hope of escape.
"It's no use you know," smirked Draco. Remus scowled at him.
"Don't look at me like that I'm in charge now, not you," growled Draco.
Remus rolled his eyes, there was no way he could escape and he couldn't reach his wand.
He stared at it, willing it to come to him. Unfortunately it just stayed stubbornly on the arm of Draco's chair. He huffed irritably. Draco looked up at him and grinned.
"It was easy you know,"
Remus shot him a puzzled look, what was this maniac of a boy drivelling on about now?
"What?" he asked lazily.
"I said it was easy to catch Potter. He hardly fought. Took me a second to disarm him…"
"Stop it," Remus uttered quietly feeling his arms shaking uncontrollably. Draco raised his eyebrows at him.
"Hit a nerve have I?" Remus stayed quiet, he knew not to let enemies know your weaknesses.
Remus turned his head sharply as a quick rap was heard at the door. Draco glared at Remus and pointed his wand at him.
"You…answer it" he hissed.
"Who is it?" called Remus in a strained voice.
"Come to clean the room," said a bright voice outside, he knew that voice. Before he could say anything else though Draco had got up and strode over to the door and wrenched it open.
Tonks heard the other three catch up with her and quickly caught them up on what had happened in the last few hours. Climbing the stairs slowly she cast a charm to block muggles from entering the second floor corridor.
She approached her room quietly and discussed a plan in a hushed and very rushed conversation with other three.
Tonks strained her ears as she heard footsteps approaching she glared at the end of the corridor. One of Death Eaters turned the corner and stopped dead fumbling for his wand.
"Stupefy," whispered Tonks and the spell hit before the Death Eater even realised and he keeled over.
Knock Knock.
Anya knocked on the door hurriedly putting on a relaxed voice in response to Remus' question. Tonks bit her lip, he was still alive then but he didn't sound happy.
The door was opened roughly and Draco stood there looking quite harassed but before he even had time to look around at who was there Anya had pushed him back inside the room roughly.
He glared up at her as she followed him inside.
"How…" he began.
"Shut it Malfoy," she hissed venomously pulling out her wand as Shaun and Sky came up behind her. The Death Eaters seemed momentarily frozen.
"You should know better than to mess with werewolves," she smirked at him.
Draco's mouth dropped open as he glanced over at Remus who was smiling weakly from his position. The Death Eaters regained their sense of purpose and pulled out their wands simultaneously.
A frantic battle broke out as werewolves faced Death Eaters. Curses, hexes and jinxes were shot in every direction and Remus was amazed he wasn't hit.
He started as a light blue spell shot right towards him, and he cowered slightly waiting for it to make contact. His eyes widened as it hit against something and bounced back.
A shield? he thought looking around the room, who on earth would have time to conjure a shield around him.
The battle going on was too quick for anyone to think about him first before themselves, and then he saw her.
Standing just outside the door with her back against the wall outside, her wand pointing directly at him.
Tonks.
He smiled at her and looked around the room once again. The battle was ending and werewolves were triumphant. The two Death Eaters in the room were unconscious and bound tightly and Malfoy was backing slowly into a corner, three wands on him.
Tonks walked firmly around the door and straight to Remus, worry apparent on every inch of her face. She sat down lightly beside him and untied him gently. Once untied Remus rubbed his wrists absently before realising that Tonks was still looking at him. He frowned at her.
"Are you ok?" she murmured. He nodded slowly and swung his legs over the side of the bed and made to get up.
As if on cue the dizziness came back and he felt Tonks push him back down with surprising strength. He made out a blurry figure come in front of him and it slowly came into focus.
"Don't lie to me Remus Lupin," Tonks scolded with a definite likeness of Madam Pomfrey. She touched his forehead and frowned.
"You're red hot and clammy," she muttered wiping her hand. Remus tried to stand again.
"Stay there," she commanded and Remus obeyed reluctantly as she stood up and walked purposefully towards Malfoy and the werewolves, pulling out her wand as she approached. Remus actually felt himself feel sorry for Malfoy, Tonks looked very determined.
"What did you give him?" she said viciously as the werewolves parted for her to get through.
"Potion. To see if he was a wizard," said Malfoy forcefully, looking sulkily at her.
Tonks smiled at him sweetly.
"Do you happen to have an antidote for it?"
Remus glanced at Malfoy, alarm bells ringing in his head, that sweet tone had hidden dangers behind it, he was sure.
Malfoy shook his head and smirked.
Wrong move.
As quick as lightening Tonks had Malfoy by the throat and her wand pressed up against his cheek.
"Mr Malfoy I would really appreciate it if you have or could make an antidote for the potion that you gave Remus."
Remus was astounded at how she managed to keep her voice so light and dainty when her actions were so very threatening.
Malfoy seemed to figure the same and he slowly nodded his head as best he could. Tonks smiled at him and lowered her wand. Malfoy began searching frantically in his pockets for the tiny bottle and finally produced it.
Tonks snatched it off him and marched over to Remus opening the bottle as she went.
"Drink," she said shortly and Remus quickly did so, and felt the most wonderful feeling the in world envelope him. He was better. The nausea, sweats, dizziness all gone.
He smiled at her appreciatively, and before he could react she pressed her lips on his firmly. Remus closed his eyes and returned the kiss passionately before hearing in the background.
"So that was you as well,"
He felt Tonks pull away from him violently and watched as she pointed her wand at Malfoy and hissed,
"Stupefy."
Malfoy slumped to the floor motionless.
"Come on then," murmured Tonks helping Remus stand up, still reeling from the kiss with Tonks.
Waving her wand she levitated Malfoy out of the door and followed him closely followed by Remus and his friends.
A/N. I know this chapter is shorter than the others and I'm sorry, really I am. But look another chapter ready to go!
