RP: A Mother Daughter Visit Date: 05 February 2006 Characters: Andromeda and Nypmhadora Tonks Location: Andromeda's home, Hogsmeade Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: None Summary: Tonks visits her mum.
Tonks locked the back kitchen door behind her before setting off down High Street, bag slung over her shoulder. She was a thirty year old woman, but sometimes it paid to simply let go and go be a child with her mother. Especially when she spent the days surrounded by students herself. She spent the afternoons playing up to be an adult that she really wasn't and she needed to shed the façade at least once a day. Preferably before she had to put in an appearance for dinner in the Great Hall. She'd found out the hard way that they really encouraged that at the school and tended to frown upon those who chronically neglected to show up.
It wasn't a long walk from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade proper and Margin Alley was just a little ways away from the house she shared with Remus. Living so close to her mother had it's downsides at times, but for the most part she enjoyed being close to what was left of her immediate family for both practical and sentimental reasons. Tonks wasn't the sort who would blatantly tell her mother that she needed protection, but she was certainly going to be around to give it, even with her mum receiving lessons in defense. She had every confidence in her mother, but well… it made her feel better.
"Mum?" She knocked on the back door of the house once before pulling it open, just to let her know she was there.
