Chapter 2. In which Tonks paranoia got the better of her
Tonks hesitated for a moment before knocking on Lupin's door. Maybe he doesn't want to be disturbed. Maybe he didn't really particularly like her company. But no matter what the feelings of the said Lupin had, the door opened anyway to reveal he frowned when he saw her.
"What are you doing here?" said Lupin with an obvious undertone that he did not want her there.
"I just came here to give you a share of the pasta I cooked ,If you like." said Tonks still a little bit hopeful in spite of his prior coldness.
It was when Tonks got a glimpse of a girl, wearing - wearing only Remus' grey cardigan!
"Remus where should I hang this?" the girl presently said. (Whatever she wanted to hang, Tonks did not want to find out.)
"Anywhere you want," said Remus bordering indifference.
"What is this?" demanded Tonks.
The girl approached the door and addressed her. "Can't you get the hint? We don't want to be disturbed."
"We were both werewolves so me might as well get together. It's just the same species with benefits." said Lupin unfeelingly, as if it was what people did normally.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Tonks woke up 6:00 PM in the evening. Sweating from a bad dream.
Grimauld Place 6:30 PM. Tonks after waking up.
"Sirius...Sirius." a lady, a mystic beautiful lady was singing Sirius a song...
"SIRIUS! SIRIUS! Get your butt here at once!" said Tonks' patronous.
"We're going somewhere important...
...Remus' place."
7:00 PM. Outside Remus' house. Particularly the bushes outside Remus' house.
"Remus bringing home a girl, you say? This I gotta see. ohohoho" said Sirius rubbing his hands together. "This better be true Tonks, or you owe me."
"Idiot!" Tonks smacked him in the head. "We didn't come here for those sort of things."
"No. We only came here to spy, when what Remus ought to be getting is some pretty good privacy. Excuse my dear cousin for being the perfect saint." said Sirius.
"Why am I here again?" said Charlie.
"Because, we are coming here to fake an overnight party."
7:10 PM. At the door on Remus' house.
Remus opened the door when they knocked.
"What are you all doing here?" said Remus, sounding surprised.
They didn't need to be invited in.
"Out of the way!" Tonks shoved Remus to the side and ran to the middle of the room to scan it from left to right. Near the fire was a soft high chair and on its side, there was book.
"Thank goodness!" said Tonks.
"What are you doing?" said Lupin following Tonks to the middle of the room.
"Nothing I just thought.. Phew." said Tonks.
"What are you implying? Sue is hardly a threat. I thought we agreed on that." said Lupin.
"Don't get on your high horse Moony," said Sirius, catching up with them. " She wasn't worried for you. She was worried for the girl."
Lupin's frown deepened. But oblivious to what his feelings might be, the three of them had already produced a blanket and laid it in front of the fire, officially taking over his house. The Pajama overnight party has started.
Lupin seated himself back on his high chair, and gave up any hopes about having a peaceful night.
