The Girl Who Married The Wolf

10. The mission

I held his hand and started running to a street, crowded.

I was like three in the afternoon. I don't know what muggles do at that hour of the day but everywhere was crowded.

We were looking for a right place to apparate.

We were late for a meeting.

***Ten minutes ago***

"I can't believe it's been like four weeks and we haven't found anything!" I said throwing the papers I had on my lap to the floor.

"Be patient, Tonks, we'll find something soon." Remus said without taking his eyes away from the book he had.

We were in my house because in Grimmauld Place... every single blink, every single thought counts. Everything makes her powerful.

"But it's been FOUR WEEKS! Hogwarts already started and the only thing we know is that spell-"

I kicked the papers that were on the floor. Four weeks since we found out the lantern thing. But I have to admit we didn't have much time to investigate.

We can't investigate at Grimmauld Place. We have Order missions, luckily we make a great team and we have lots of missions together. And we have independent works.

I work almost all day and Remus works literally all day. I just don't get why he doesn't have a decent job! He's intelligent, he's hardworking, he's really good with magic, he's strong and brave. He could be an amazing auror! But he has the worst job I've ever imagined.

"That's something."

"BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE'S STILL ALIVE!"

"There must be more books."

"We've looked in every single Dark Magic book and there's nothing!"

"Maybe she used really dark."

"But we've even looked in the book from the library from Hogwarts!"

"Then are you sure the one who's causing this is Sirius' mother?"

"I'm a hundred percent sure."

Suddenly a patronus entered the room. It was a phoenix, a beautiful big phoenix flying towards us.

"I'm sorry if I disturb you but there's an urgent Order meeting taking place in five minutes."

I looked at Remus, he looked at me.

"We can't apparate here, my house is protected with all those charms..."

"Then what do we do?"

"We need to find an empty street where to apparate."

We stared at each other for a few seconds. I realized he was pale, why?

"Move, Remus, move! We're late for a meeting!"

Remus' POV

She was beautiful, wasn't she?

He had spent enough time with her to realize how much he cared about her.

But she only considered him as her friend, her best friend.

Girls like that don't want old werewolves as boyfriends, he thought.

But... did he truly loved her? Or did he just liked her?

Just watching her sitting in front of him made him smile, only her presence.

She was his best friend.

"Remus Lupin." Dumbledore said.

Remus blinked and shocked his head. He was too lost in his thoughts to pay attention.

"Yes, sir?"

"You'll have a mission with miss Nymphadora Tonks"

Remus saw Tonks whispering to herself: Don't call me Nymphadora. He smiled.

***

"Moonyyyy!" Sirius was smiling at him.

"Padfoot." he said containing a smile.

"I realized... you weren't paying attention..."

"Attention to what?"

"The meeting Mr. Full Moon." He smiled wider. "You were looking at my lovely cousin Tonks."

Remus didn't answer, he was too concentrated in not blushing.

"Today's full moon are you ready?" he said trying to change the topic.

Remus didn't answer. Tonks called him.

Tonks' POV

"Remuuuus!" I waved at him.

I made him signs so he could come. Moody was going to tell us what was our mission.

"Based on some information given by Kingsley" Moody started."a group of Death Eaters will have a meeting tomorrow at night"

Then he explained where it was, at what hour we had to be there, what we had to do, blah, blah, blah.

"You'll just spy on them."

I was expecting something better, maybe fighting them?

Too dangerous.

When we were about to leave it was like six in the afternoon or something.

We were sitting in the kitchen like two normal persons.

"So Remuuuus... Since its only six in the afternoon... I was thinking... we could stay here and..." Jazz hands. "investigate."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"It's too late. And I'm feeling sick"

"Okay... Then I hope you get better and see tomorrow night for the mission."

I left the room, I went back home.

That was a bit disappointing. I really enjoy spending time with him. But I'll see him soon, right?

I just feel he's hiding something.
