What is it, Nym?

Chapter 3

The was a knock on the door. It was Tonks. She was back in her apartment, but had come over to tell me how everything had gone with Kingsley.

"So, you told him then? How did that go?"

She turned to me, walking over to me. She kissed me, and walked into the kitchen. I got her something to eat, and walked into the living room.

"Before or after I had to stop him from blowing up something?"

Oh right, he was friends with Remus. That must have been an interesting conversation.

"What did he do, Nym?"

She shook her head, and grabbed her drink.

"He was angry about what Remus did, and said that he was happy for me and that I was to start on desk work immediately. Apparently he had a few assignments coming up for me which were far to risky. I told him, about tomorrow and he understood. He said that I could take any time I needed."

It's great having a friend as your boss. Tonks next appointment was the following day. I was back in work, and had gotten time off. I'd made an excuse and got the time off. We were going to tell both our parents after the appointment the following day. I was nervous, I knew her parents liked me, and my parents had met her but it didn't make it any easier. They were surprised by her ability to change her appearance, but they really liked her bubbly personality.

"That's great. So, is his office still standing?"

She nodded. I hadn't seen him that day, but I'd heard he wasn't in a good mood.

"Yeah, but he is really angry. I wouldn't be surprise if something happens, the next time he see's him."

She finished eating, and lay back on the couch. I scooted closer to her, and wrapped my arms around her. I kissed her, and she lay her head on my shoulder.

"So, we're telling everyone tomorrow?"

She nodded, looking up at me.

"Yeah, it'll be OK. I'll pick you up at 9:30, OK?"

I nodded, and wrapped my arms around her. I squeezed her shoulders, and kissed the top of her head.

"Yeah."

She left a little while later, and I went to bed, thinking about the next day. I hoped everything would go well.

I was up early the next morning, and got ready. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a pink t shirt. I walked into the kitchen and got something, when there was a knock on the door. I took a bite of my apple and walked into the hall to answer the door. Tonks stood there, smiling, with pink hair.

"You ready?"

I nodded, and grabbed my jacket. I grabbed my keys and locked the door, before turning to look at Tonks, she was looking at my t shirt.

"What is it, Nym?"

She laughed, looking at me.

"We match."

Oh that. She had short pink hair, the way I liked it. I blushed, but didn't say anything. We started walking, and took a bite of my apple.

"Hey, Nym?"

She looked at me, as I finished the apple.

"What is it?"

"What do you think your parents will say?"

She smiled, as I spoke. We kept walking, and I waited for her to answer me.

"Well, my dad will probably lecture you on how to treat me, and my mum will start fussing over us. They'll be fine with it. So will yours. Come on."
