Remus pulled Tonks and Sirius to the nearest empty tent to discuss in private of the entire thing. Thanks to Scabior, Remus had to explain the whole situation to Tonks earlier. He didn't know how he was supposed to tell Tonks about this. However, Tonks deserved the truth about it. He shouldn't have even waited this long to inform her about his performing in these rituals.
"Remus, please tell me what is going on? You are freaking me out. And I don't freak out that often." Tonks stated to him, crossing her arms over her chest. Remus fumbled with his fingers, trying to figure out what he was wanting to say.
"I should have told you before..."
"You should have! I was worried sick of you! Why are you here? Why is Hermione here? Why did that... that... Scabior guy or what have you take Hermione... and where?" Tonks asked, waving her hand towards the entrance of the tent. Remus sighed.
"Scabior had taken Hermione off to a cave. He is going to um... mate with her because he won this task. And uh..." Remus started when Tonks cut in again.
"What? Why is he going to mate with her? Tasks? What tasks?" Tonks asked, starting to sound more furious by the minute.
"It's a ritual to win Hermione's hand in a sort of marriage. We finished the tasks and then Hermione gets to decide who she wants to be mated to." Remus explained. Tonks narrowed her eyes, a glint of sorrow started to fill her eyes.
"So... she's basically trying to find a husband? But that doesn't explain why you are here? Are you trying to make sure she doesn't get hurt or what?" Tonks asked, blinking her eyes rapidly. Remus bit his bottom lip.
"Actually... I am trying to make sure she avoids being hitched with either of Scabior or Fenrir... by putting myself in the ring." Remus replied. A tear dripped down her eyes.
"What you're saying is you're trying to get hitched with Hermione?" Tonks asked. Remus opened his mouth to say how sorry he was when his face swung to the side. He gripped his hand against the cheek that Tonks had slapped.
"So that proposal you did... that was a lie? You never really loved me, did you?" Tonks asked, her voice raising up.
"No, I love you Tonks..."
"THEN WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GET HITCHED WITH HERMIONE IF YOU LOVE ME?" Tonks screamed at him. Remus was about to say something when the flap of the tent opened and in Fenrir stormed in.
"What is going on here? If you two are going to fight, you need to find another tent! You're right near the nursery and you just woke up the infants from their naps. If they don't go back to sleep, I will be hearing it from their mothers and the nurses. Which is not happening!" Fenrir asked, growling at them. His eyes darted between Tonks and Remus. Tonks held her hand against her lips as she began pacing.
"I'm sorry, we will move to another tent." Remus told Fenrir.
"See too it soon." Fenrir demanded. Fenrir turned and bolted out of the tent without another word. Remus turned to speak with Tonks, but she was shaking her head as she followed behind Fenrir, pushing him to the side as she vanished without looking at him.
