Tonks's POV

The old me was back for about a day. Only a day. I quickly went back to my new self, as I realized that plotting revenge on Severus was something that Sirius and Remus (mostly Sirius), would have done. I huddled up in my flat, trying to block out all the memories of those two that were flooding in. I was content to just tolerate Severus at the moment. It helped that I could talk to Molly. Some nights all I did was talk, and other nights I wasn't able to utter a word.

October was slowly passing, when I was walking through Hogsmeade. Molly said that the fresh air and all the stores would be good for me. I was hesitant, but at least it gave me something to do. It was a chilly day in Hogsmeade, but I barely felt the cold.

I noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione outside of the Three Broomsticks. Harry seemed outraged at something, more specifically, someone. I walked closer and saw Mundungus. Harry had pinned Mundungus up against the wall. I walked over to them and saw Mundungus hit Harry, and Disapparated. Harry swore and screamed "COME BACK, YOU THIEVING—!"

"There's no point, Harry," I said, cutting in. I knew Mundungus was as good as gone. "Mundungus will probably be in London by now. There's no point yelling."

"He's nicked Sirius's stuff! Nicked it!" Harry exclaimed. I felt anger rising inside of me, but I contained it for the moment.

"Yes, but still. You should get out of the cold." I said, hiding all the emotions inside of me. I was getting worried about them, seeing how it was freezing. I watched them enter the Three Broomsticks. I let out an irritated noise and went to headquarters.

Mad-Eye was there, and he listened as I told him about Mundungus. Mad-Eye said that he'll talk to Mundungus next time he comes around. I simply replied with a good and left.

Everyone seems to be purposely infuriating me these days. Molly says that it's all in my head, and once I straighten out, I'll see. I can see how Molly is worried that I'll stay like this forever. I wonder that too, if I'll ever go back to my old self.
