Characters: Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black Date: February 28th, 2000 Location: London Rating: TBA Summary: Tonks finally shows her face at Grimmauld Place Status: In Progress
Tonks had avoided Grimmauld Place, as bad as that sounded when she thought about it. In the beginning it had been very much intentional, having been bitter and resentful of nearly all the Order and wanting to not see a soul. However, as time dragged on and she was submersed completely in her alternate life, she began to miss the faces that knew her for who she really was. By the time she felt bad for distancing herself, she believed too much damage had been done, and no one seemed too terribley bothered by her disappearance.
It didn't last long before she began to feel a bit guilty, especially for the venom she had directed at Remus and Caradoc. She was still a bit bitter over it all, her emotions by no means settled, but after her time in self-imposed segregtation her bitterness was quickly overpowered by her lonelines. She missed her friends, as angry as they had made her.
She thought a good step to building the bridge again was to see how her cousin and Remus were doing. Just a stop over, to see their faces and make sure all was well. She was a little nervous about what kind of reception she'd get, considering the last time she had seen Remus, she had been non-too-kind, and the last time she had spoken to Sirius, he was a dying man in a cell.
She stood at the front door of 12 Grimmauld Place, took in a deep breath, and knocked shortly on the front door.
