Draco didn't know what had driven him to come here. He stood at the sink in the barthroom, looked at his face in the mirror. This was where it had started - him looking just like this, and Potter suddenly behind him. He'd been crying, but he wouldn't admit that now even to himself. Now he just thought about that strange feeling that that one moment of looking up and seeing Potter watching him had somehow lasted years, and had somehow happened twice.

But there was something else. Something that he'd thought of the moment he'd opened his eyes in the mirror that day last year. Something that had been missing that should have been there. He looked at his hand, now, and had the phantom memory of something small and square, something cold and then blinding hot and pressed into his palm. But when he'd opened his eyes here, it hadn't been there at all.

He still thought he might be losing his mind, but he knew somehow if he could find whatever that thing had been, he'd have his answers.

"I would say that what I did before becoming a professor has very little to do with how I teach," she said. "It's a shame you think the two are correlated. Maybe you would learn be a better student of life if you opened your eyes some and questioned the fallacies your family has taught you."

Detention at the very least, and depending on how far this went, she might send him to Minerva. But Tonks liked to handle her problems on her own without pawning them off to others, and she thought she could handle him on her own.

"So," she said. "Unless you want me to spend the night leaning up against the door and doing the 'I need to wee' dance, do tell me what you're doing out of bed at this hour."

Draco did the maths fairly quickly and reasoned that it couldn't have been too far before she became a professor, really, not that he cared. He wondered, almost absently, if his mother would care. If he should tell her. He also wondered if the father was a pureblood, and highly doubted it.

"I told you, I lost track of time. I'll gladly take the detention - I most certainly do not want to see you dance."

It hadn't been. A few weeks at the most, potentially as little as a few days before taking up her position. But it had happened before classes had begun. She was certain of that.

"I didn't offer a detention," Tonks said. "I offered you the choice of telling me or me doing a wee dance in a few minutes while blocking your exit. You don't lose track of hours of time, so you might as well spill it. We're in the middle of a war, Draco. You can't lurk around the castle after hours and expect to be let off the hook without a reasonable explanation."

	"Well, as I've no reasonable explanation to give," Draco answered, his arms crossing over his chest defiantly, "What I suggest is that you assign the detention and get yourself to a stall. Otherwise this conversation will likely be very embarrassing for at least one of us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fair enough." Tonks crossed her arms in return. "Let's go with detention every Friday evening for a month. If I catch you out past curfew again, we'll go for the rest of the year. Now I'm going to go to the loo, and you're going to wait for me so I can escort you back to your common room." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course, Professor." Draco said, and it was obvious enough from his done that he wanted nothing at all to do with walking with her, anywhere. "Would you prefer I wait outside? Or is forcing me to listen part of my punishment." (Reply to this) (Parent)
