Tonks skipped up the path leading from Hogsmeade to the gates of that old castle where every witch and wizard learned new ways to kill a man without leaving a mark. She snorted at the way her brain worked, because it was a little twisted to think that the school was training killers, and because it was a little funny 'cause it was true. If she didn't have a firm hold on her psyche, she was pretty sure she could easily be one of those serial killers in the Muggle world, and it'd be hard to find her.

Not that I would actually kill anyone in anything but self defense, she reminded herself mentally. It was weird that her brain would turn to thoughts like that in the early evening of an early autumn Sunday on her way to see her cousin who was held for murder. She knew Sirius hadn't done anything. The killer was in custody. Her cousin's name was cleared.

"I'll blame Halloween," she muttered as she came to a stop outside the Hogwarts' gates. Leaning against the cool and charmed stone, she waited for her cousin, humming the latest Weird Sisters song.
