I am not Jk Rowling and none of the characters or setting or world of Harry Potter belongs to me.
**I want to thank CNova for being here with me on this journey as the best Beta and Alpha a girl could ask for and helping to make this piece everything it is now.**
-This piece was written for the Facebook Group The Fairest of The Rare in January 2019, for a WILDWeekend Roulette Time drabble handed out by Admin Suzi for the pairing Nymphadora Tonks/Oliver Wood
Tonks was looking at a green box labelled Thin Mints and wondered what exactly they were. They seemed to be made of chocolate and something very Muggle.
"Where did you get these biscuits," she asked, picking one up and biting into it, "These are pretty good."
"I got them from my Aunt; she sent me a care package from America. They are called 'GirlScout' cookies or something. Amazing right!" Oliver said as he came into the living room and sat down on the couch. Quickly changing the subject, he proceeded to ask her,
"How long did you need to crash here? I've made up the bed in the spare room. Will Remus be joining you as well? I am just asking so I know how long to keep the wards down,"
"How did you know that that was why I am here?" Her brow raised to match the tone of her voice of surprise.
"The Order, how else? They sent word that you were out in the field, and that should things go wrong on your mission you may seek out one of the safe houses. I may be neutral in this war, but it doesn't mean I'm clueless as to the inner workings of everything happening." he responded.
This response left Tonks dumbfounded.
"Oh, well, thank heavens they had peace of mind to let you know about me. To answer your question-No, he won't be coming here. He currently has some notion in his mind that dating me is wrong because he's 'older', was a professor and all that jazz," she quoted with her fingers.
"Very well then, follow me. Your bathroom is here, and your bedroom is there. Inside the bathroom behind the door is a closet, all towels and extra sets of clothes are in there, I'm sure you may find something that works. While you wash up, I will send an encryption to Kingsley and let them know you've arrived and are safe. I'll be up around 8 o'clock like I am every morning. I'll make some breakfast but don't feel like you have to be there. You are welcome to anything during your stay here," Motioning to the rooms he spoke of, he responded to her.
She was ready for a shower after a very long day so she didn't plan on wasting any more time with the questions. Raising that pink eyebrow of hers, she followed up the conversation with;
"Thank you, when does Flint come home?" .
"Marcus will be home in an hour. While he's been down this path before with me, he is not used to our bunch of friends. So if you hear the floo, please give me time to explain to him what's going on before coming out," He said, stepping away from the bathroom and giving her room to walk down in the hallway.
Before she stepped into the bathroom she stopped in her tracks and threw her arms around Oliver.
"Hey Oli, I just want to say thank you so much."
He just smiled and turned around back down the hall.
