Willow Tonks

April 29, 1992

          "Is that all you got?" An twelve year old girl yelled to her older sister."Not even close!" The nineteen year old yelled back. They were in their back yard with hedges that were six feet tall so that none of the neighbors could see what they were doing. The nineteen year old also cast a spell so that the neighbors couldn't hear anything either.
       The sisters were casting spells at each other trying to knock the other off their feet.

"Stupefy!" The younger girl yelled. She missed her sister by a hair.
"Expelliarmus!"
     Willow's wand was yanked from her hand and landed in the pink haired Woman's hand. Nymphadora looked smug as though she has already won the quarrel. Willow had one trick up her sleeve that was taught to her by the ex-auror Alastor Moody.
"Alright, you win," she put her hands up in defeat. She walked towards her sister as Nymphadora held out Willow's wand. Instead of taking the wand she grabbed Dora's wrist, twisted her arm behind her back, and pushed her on the ground.
"C'mon Nym, didn't Moody teach you anything about never letting your guard down until your opponent was down?" Willow smirked and took her wand from her sister's hand. Nym was still getting up from off the ground when their mother poked her head out of the back door."Alastor is here for your weekly lesson," she moved aside and out came a man with ear length grey hair, a cane,many scars, and odd eyes. He had one regular brown eye and one that was vibrant blue and very excited. It whizzed all around in the socket.
      "Look alive girls!" He yelled.
"Wotcher, Moody!" Nym greeted the old man. "Mad-eye!" Willow yelled in acknowledgement. Alastor smiled. The young girl had given him the nickname when they first started training two years ago.
   "I hope you two have been practicing. Judging by the grass stains on Dora's back I'd say you have been."
"Damn," Nymphadora muttered,"I was hoping you wouldn't notice."
"I notice everything Nymphadora because I have-"
Willow cut him off by screaming,"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"
        The adults laughed at the twelve year old before getting serious. They spent the entire afternoon working on defensive spells and basic self defense.
"Now remember, always grab the wrist, not the hand. If you grab the hand they could grab your hand back." Moody was informing the girls before wrapping up the lesson for the day. "Like this?" Willow asked while reaching for her sister's wrist. Unfortunately for her, Nymphadora saw the young girl's move and moved her hand so that she could grab Willow's wrist. She demonstrated the same move Willow did on her right before the lesson."No Willow, like that," Nym smirked while Willow brushed grass off of her jumper."Oh, haha. Very funny," Willow said sarcastically as she got up.
"Thank you, I plan on ditching my auror career to pursue comedy," Nym retorted with the same amount of sarcasm.
"I'll leave you two too it, then," Mad-eye spoke from the small patio,"Bye girls."
"Bye Alastor!" The sisters chimed together.

      Back inside, Willow sat on the kitchen counter while her adoptive mother was cooking dinner. She was cooking Shepard's pie. Nym's favorite. The family was celebrating her getting a house of her own. They all sat down at the table."Y'know Willow," Nym started,"My house would be really lonely if i lived there alone." Andromeda and Ted saw where their daughter's comment was going.
"You should get a housemate." Willow said, without realizing what her adoptive sister meant.
"I was thinking of that actually. I think she should be younger then me, have red hair, and odd eyes."
"If you're referring to me, I'll have you know that my eyes are not odd. I have complete heterochromia." Willow sassed," and I would love to live with you." The family smiled and ate their dinner.

          "Willow Come on!" Nymphadora yelled up the stairs of the house she shared with her adopted sister.
"I'm here," Willow said behind Nym.
"How the- What- You? Nevermind."
        The red head smiled. She was going to meet her godfather for the first time. Well, it wasn't the first time. She met him when she was younger, but she doesn't remember. The sisters walked a little bit until they got to the alleyway in between number 11 and 13 Grimmauld Place. Willow thought the address until the two houses separated to form a brand new one with dusty old numbers on the door that read 12. "I love magic," Willow said to her older sister. Nymphadora just laughed and pushed her towards the magic building. They knocked, as the owner of the house had warned us about ringing the doorbell. The doorknob turned and the door swung open to reveal Willow's Godfather.
Sirius Black.
"Sirius?" Willow asked.
"Willow Tree!" Sirius exclaimed pulling the fourteen year old into a hug. Unfortunately, Sirius was too loud and the painting of his mother started to scream. "Oh shut up you! I'm trying to reunite with my godfather!" Willow yelled back, silencing the painting. Sirius and Nym laughed. Nym then said,"It's good to see you, but can we come inside? I'm freezing my ass off."
