Pink And Beastly (Ronks)

Chapter 4

"Hey Remus?" Tonks called. She was standing in the kitchen, looking through all the food cupboards.

"Yeah?" Remus replied as he walked towards her voice. "Is something wrong."

"When and where is the next Order meeting?" Tonks asked. Remus stood next to her, leaning on the kitchen countertops.

"Um, tomorrow night at The Burrow. Why do you ask?"

"Because we have almost no food and need to go shopping." Tonks replied

"We could go shopping now? Or is there enough for breakfast and lunch?" Remus asked

"Yeah we could do. Unless you fancy fish for lunch and toast for breakfast." Tonks laughed. Remus shook his head, he really didn't like fish.

"Yeah let's go" Remus said.

The two of them raced upstairs to collect their wands and money. They were out of breath as they Disapparated into a quiet alley. Tonks changed her hair to bleach blond, as many women who walked past had their hair like that. Linking arms they walking into the streets and in the direction of the shopping centre. They had decided to go somewhere crowed with muggles so they wouldn't draw attention to themselves, and hopefully avoid Death Eaters.

"Are you ok?" Remus asked. He could feel Tonks shaking a bit by his side.

"Just scared incase Death Eaters find us." She whispered. "Everything is so dangerous now I'm kinda scared."

"I am as well." Remus replied. He kissed her cheek lightly, causing her to blush slightly. "But I'll be there to stop anything from happening to you."

Tonks smiled as he pulled her closer to him. As they entered the muggle supermarket and got a trolley, they started to get the food they need.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the toilet." Remus said suddenly.

"What? But, shopping and danger and Death Eaters." Tonks cried desperately. "I can't handle all that myself."

"You'll be fine and, I'll make it up to you." Remus promised. He kissed her lips lovingly before quickly walking away. Tonks looked at him sadly as he walked away, absolutely petrified that she might get attack. But despite her fears, she carried.

Remus felt bad for lying, but she couldn't know where he was actually heading. He walked straight past the men's toilet and deep into a crowd of muggles. He could see the shop he needed to go to. A worker in the shop gave him an odd look as he walked in. Remus's clothes and scars made him stand out as he wasn't as well dressed and nicely presented as everyone else who was around.

Remus was standing by a very polished glass cabinet, his eyes desperately searching for the thing he needed.

"Can I help you sir?" A man asked behind him. Remus turned around and smiled at the man. The man was small with blonde hair and dark brown eyes. A name tags on his suit jacket told Remus he was called Paul.

"Ah yes. Um, could I get this one please." Remus asked, pointing.

"A very nice choice sir. I'll get it and meet you at the till." Paul said happily.

"Here we are. Is this the right size?" Paul asked once they stood at the counter.

"Yes. Right size." Remus replied, he was almost bursting with excitement.

After a few more minutes of Paul going on about warranty and insurance, it was finally time to pay.

"So, that'll be £359.99 please." Paul said, his eager dark eyes waiting to see the money. Remus handed the money over in cash. As Paul counted it, Remus looked at the bag which held his purchase.
