What is it, Nym?

I turned off the TV. It was late, and I needed to get some sleep. I hadn't heard from anyone, since I broke up with Ron. Truthfully, I'm better off without him, I see that now. There was a knock on the door. Who could that be? It's nearly 11 o'clock at night. I ran to the door, opening it. Tonks stood there, looking very, very upset.

"Tonks? What are you doing here?"

She walked in, dropping her bag in the hall. She was supposed to tell Lupin that she was pregnant today.

"He left me. I told him, and he left me."

She collapsed onto the couch, crying. I sat next to her, and wrapped my arms around her. She leaned against me, and I held her until she started to calm down. She sat back, looking at me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to go."

I shook my head, I hated seeing her like this. Her hair wasn't its usual pink, it was its natural colour, brown. I kept my arms around her, and she didn't move or seem like she was uncomfortable.

"What happened, Nym?"

She hated people calling her that, but never said anything to me. If any one else called her that, they would regret it. She looked up at me.

"I told him, and he just left me. Something him being a werewolf. I don't know, I was in shock. I came straight here, it's the first place I thought of."

I was surprised that she didn't go to her parents. But, I had forgotten they had gone away for the week.

"Oh, Nym. I'm so sorry."

She didn't say anything. We had always been close. Everyone knew it, and never said anything about it. She just sat there, not saying anything.

"I'm sorry, I"

"Nym, you know better than to apologise to me. You've done nothing wrong, he's the one in the wrong. Now, where's your pink hair? I think this is the second time in the whole time I've known you that I've seen your natural hair colour."

She laughed, a little. She got a pained look on her face, which meant she was changing her appearance. Her hair was back to it's usual pink, I always thought she looked pretty with pink hair. Wait ..... Did I just say she looked pretty? Focus Hermione. I like guys, not girls. Sure, things with Ron didn't work out, but that doesn't mean I like girls. But, why do I think she looks pretty with pink hair?

"Why do I get the feeling you're confused about something?"

Tonks was looking at me, while I was debating.

"I'm trying to figure out why he did that to you."

She didn't answer me.

"He always treated me like a child, it annoyed me. Sure, I'm perky but that never seems to bother you."

I shook my head, she was right. I always found her perky behaviour cute. Here we go again with thinking she's cute! I really need to think about this.

"Of course not. You're the only person who can't annoy me. Even Ron annoyed the crap out of me."

She didn't say anything, waiting for me to continue.

"He actually accused me of cheating on him! I couldn't believe it. Then he started talking about how much time I spent with you. I kind of lost it, and started shouting at him. Next thing I know, he dumps me."

She didn't say anything, but I could see her hair was going red. Oh great, now she's angry.

"Calm down, Nym. It's OK. I'm better off without him."
