"... and that's when I punched him." Tonks laughed at her own story. Ramus just let out a forced chuckle at the story. When they got back to Grimwalds place Ramus opened the door and let tonks enter first, not out of curtesy but because he wanted to be able to block her escape. He walked her to the kitchen and saw Kreature cleaning the place.

"Kreature, could you make us chicken alfrado please?" Ramus asked with kindness. Ramus knew that Sirius hated the house elf, yet he could not bring himself to mistreat another like others did him.

"Of course Master Wolf. Would you like any wine with your meal?" Kreature says holding the rag he was cleaning with in his hands.

"That would be great. Thank you, Kreature." Ramus said as Kreature departed with a crack to get diner ready.

"Why do you treat him so well? He is just a no good house elf." Tonks says sneering and raising her pompous nose at the idea of a house elf being treated as anything higher than trash. Ramus wanted to slap her at how she spoke about Kreature.

" I treat him well because I know how it feels to be treated like you are nothing. I know how it feels to be looked down upon for what you are." Ramus says looking at the floor in mock shame. Tonks face softens and she tries to amend her mistake.

" I'm sorry Ramus. I didn't think." Tonks tries to put a hand on Ramus' shoulder but he shrugs it off and walks out of the room and into the library and locks the door. After casting a silencing charm, Ramus starts laughing hysterically. After what seems like forever Ramus calms down and calls Kreature.

"Yes Master Wolf? What can Kreature do for you?" he said.

"I would like you to put this sleeping drought in the blood traitors wine. Can you do that for me?" Ramus asked handing Kreature a brown vile. The look that came over the house elf's face was one of sinister glee.

"Kreature can do that for you Master. Kreature would take great pleasure in spiking the blood traitors wine." He said as he popped away to finish preparations. When he leaves the library he cancels the silencing charm and rubs his eyes to make it seem like he has been crying and enters the kitchen to find Tonks sitting at the table with a far off look. When she sees him she flings herself on him apologizing over and over.

"Its okay. I forgive you." Rubbing her back as she makes false tears run down her cheeks.

"Master, Diner is ready for you and the lady." Kreacher says as he snaps his fingers and a wonderful looking meal appears on the table and Ramus guides Tonks to the seat that has the spiked wine and sits her down then goes to his seat.

"To new roads." Ramus says as he lifts his glass in toast. Tonks sniffles and grabs her glass, letting out a watery laugh, raises her glass and takes a big gulp. Ramus takes a sip and then begins to eat.

"Ramus...I don't...I feel so...sleepy. Ram..us...wha..." Tonks says as her eyes start to droop. The last thing she sees and hears is Ramus giving her a smirk and saying "Good night sleeping Beauty. Tomorrow is a big day."

Ramus smiles as her head hits the table. 'She is going to have a head ach when she wakes.' Ramus finishes his meal and then picks up Tonks and throws her over her shoulder and carries her over to the flue and throughs some powder in and says "Malfoy Manor" and steps into the flames.
