What is it, Nym?

Chapter 14

There was a park down the street, and we brought the twins. Harry and Draco loved fussing over the twins. We watched the, smiling. We knew that we'd made the right decision. We laughed, as Natalia got a hold of Harry's finger.

"I told you they love doing that."

He smiled and gave up.

"Have either of you-"

"No, have you?"

He nodded, looking up at me.

"Yeah, I seen Ron yesterday. He seemed .................... Different. He said something about wanting to talk to you. He didn't seem like himself. Something about him has changed, he seems ................ I don't know. He's definitely calmer, he actually spoke to me without screaming. I-"

"Please tell me he wasn't bad mouthing-"

"You think I would've let that go? He says anything bad about either of you or these two and he'll regret it. Right Draco?"

Draco looked at us, from where he sat leaning against Harry.

"Of course."

I smiled, looking around. It was fairly quiet, and there wasn't many people out.

"Well, good. It's odd though. He must know that I'm back at work. Even Kingsley came to see how I was. Apparently the office is to quiet, without a certain someone."

I looked at Nym, who glared at me.

"Yeah, we had trainees in the other day. I think what you did got around. They were very quiet. Hanging the trainees by their ankles-"

"If you call me clumsy, and I hear it. I'm gonna react."

I shook my head. She was clumsy, but I found it cute. Unless she hurt herself. She was annoyed, but kept her hair one colour. We had hats on the twins to disguise their hair changing. I shook my head, noticing Ron near us. I nudged Nym, looking at Ron. He'd noticed us, and was walking over. I could see she was trying to stop her hair turning red. It worked, but I could see it was difficult. He reached us, looking at the twins.

"Ron, not in front of the twins."

He shook his head, like I was being completely ridiculous.

"No, I wanted to talk to you."

He wants to talk? Then let's talk.

"Then lets talk."

"Can we just-"

"No, Ronald. If you have something to say, then be nice and say it in front of my girlfriend, the girls and their godfathers."

He seemed surprised, but didn't react. I honestly thought he would. Nym grabbed my hand, trying to calm me down. It worked .............. A little.

"OK, well .............. Hermione, Tonks ................. I want to apologise for everything. I just ......... I was jealous, I guess. You."

He looked at Nym, who was glaring at him.

"Can make her happy. I can't. I'm an idiot, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said that day in Hermione's old place. It was a horrible thing to say. Harry, Draco."

He looked at the two of them. They had been looking at the twins, making sure they weren't upset by anything. They looked up at him, not hiding their anger.

"I'm sorry for what I said. I know you were trying to talk to sense into me. I didn't listen and I'm sorry."

OK, where did this come from? I never expected this. I thought he'd come to my office and have to be dragged away again. But ................. Not this. I looked at Nym, who was staring at him, obviously shocked.

"Ron, I-"

"I know, but I wanted to tell you this. I know, I don't deserve anything, but I wanted to, at least, do this."

Nym squeezed my hand, and I looked at her. Her hair had gotten a tiny bit brighter. She was happy about this?

Frowning at Nym, she leaned over to whisper something.

"He's an idiot, but he's trying. I'll forgive him, if you will."

Who is this person in front of me and what have they done with Nym?

He was trying, but how could she forgive what he said. But, there was more to what she was saying. She didn't want to fight anymore, she was tired of it. It was pointless with Remus, she wanted at least one of them to be on friendly terms with us. It would take a while for me to really forgive him, but I would try for Nym.

I nodded, and she turned to Ron. He watched her, looking nervous. She stood up, looking at him. Now, I've seen him nervous. But, this was different. He waited for her to speak.

"We'll forgive you, IF you agree that you'll never say anything like that again. Or, I'll make what I did to you look like nothing. OK?"

He nodded, looking terrified at the thought of her doing something.

"I'll never say anything like that again. I'm sorry."

Nym nodded, knowing he was taking her seriously. I would to, if it was directed at me.

"Good. Now, you want to meet Natalia and Hope?"
