She began to open the box, unable to hold herself back any longer and listened as Marcella rambled on. But, her attention was drawn away when she mentioned 'after he kissed me.'

"He what?" Kristi asked, looking up at her. "He didn't... Why? He didn't do anything else, did he?"

EmmaRiddle · 12-06-2004, 06:53 PM

"What do you mean?" she asked, with narrowed eyes. "He, well basically, he kissed me but it was sort of strange. It was like he was competing with Snape but trying to say he wasn't. He accused him of being cold, said I wouldn't know what it felt like to be kissed by a real man. Then he did it, he kissed me and then told me that's how it should be done, with love and passion. If you ask, he's one sandwhich short of a picnic. Definitely not all there...but that doesn't matter. It's what he told me that matters. Well, sort of. You see, I got a letter from Snape, I cant believe I forgot to tell you and well, he made it seem like I shouldn't exactly believe everything Black tells me. He's also really worried about you and doesn't really seem to approve of Nick."

**Biochemkris** · 12-06-2004, 07:01 PM

"That's insane. You should have cursed him for having the audacity to kiss you like that. As for believing what that raving lunatic tells you, I think I'd tell you the same thing, that Black certainly isn't playing with a full deck but, I suppose Azkaban can do that to you..." she trailed off thinking about her father and shook it off. "Though, I do believe he was telling the truth about one thing."

She picked up the picture from within the box and studied it. "She looks about my age in this picture..."she muttered before looking up at Marcella again. "I never thought he'd care about who I saw but, I suppose it fits with his need to control everything that he wouldn't approve of Nick. Snape wouldn't approve of anyone unless he picked the guy out for me."

**fona** · 12-06-2004, 07:29 PM

ooc-perfect time for clumsy Tonks methinks

It took several minutes for Nick's response to sink into her head. 'Huh?' she said, turning her head before realising what he had said. She jumped up, knocking against the table. Her chair flew out behind her, falling against the wall, her coffee spilled all over the table. She was halfway to the counter when she looked round.
'Oh..I..sorry,' she said, throwing a towel to Nick who had been hit.

She made it to the kettle uneventfully, making two fresh cups. 'So Nick,' she began racking her brain for something to talk about to break the silence. 'what did you think of the village.'
Still smiling, she looked to Remus, her eyes calling for help. Conversation like this had never been her strong point.

"I never thought he'd care about who I saw but, I suppose it fits with his need to control everything that he wouldn't approve of Nick. Snape wouldn't approve of anyone unless he picked the guy out for me."

"I probably would've cursed him had I not been in such a state of shock. The most scary thing was the way he spoke, so sure of himself, so sure he knew me and my reactions. He even said something to me along the lines of, you'll give in eventually and when you do, you know where my bed is. I'm sorry for bringing this all on you but I had to vent it out to someone. I just don't know whether to trust him when he says Snape murdered Faith." Marcella said, so casually that she barely noticed she'd said it. "He also insists she was a sister to Potter, James Potter and that he had to convince Voldemort that you were the daughter of a death eater. She died anyways but he had to kill Faith -- as she was a Potter -- to show his loyalty to Voldemort, but like Snape said, Black likes to stretch the truth, I think reality and fantasy confuse him."

She laughed at her comment about Nick, "i don't think your father would ever be happy for any man to be with you, no-one would be worthy of you, in his eyes."

"Slytherin alive woman! You burnt me!" he wailed, jumping from his seat, doing a sort of jig as he hopped up and down, fanning himself. Snatching a towel, he groaned heavily, his jumper soaked through. Despite not having anything underneath, he tore it off and threw it at her.

"You dirtied it, you clean it, clumsy oaf..." he cursed, taking the cup from her, half tempted to throw the fresh cup over her, to see how she'd like it. "I suppose it's alright," he shrugged, still ticked off. "Why, are you considering joining the ranks of the village hags?"

**Biochemkris** · 12-06-2004, 07:57 PM

Kristi would have been in shock at what Black had done except she'd already written him off as a raving lunatic. She listened intently, however, when Marcella began to casually describe the possible murder of her mother by her father and her mother's supposed family. It was all a little too much to take in at the pace Marcella was rambling. "Marcella, could we back up a minute? What did Black say about Snape and Faith?" she asked, closing the box for the time being.

**fona** · 12-06-2004, 08:18 PM

'Have to plan my retirement sometime,' she said shrugging, supressing a laugh at the Nick's outrage, 'seems a good place to be a hag.' Her laughter getting the better of her, she transformed into an old bent over woman, one eye to large, and grey bushy hair.

'Seriously though,' she said, looking to the now topless Nick, 'I'm sorry. I guess no-one mentioned my clumsiness.'

What did Black say about Snape and Faith?" she asked, closing the box for the time being.

"He said that Snape killed her. I say it this way because I really don't want to give you my opinion. It's between you and him what he says about your mother and father although it does have repercussions for me. He also Faith was the sister of James Potter, that Snape had to kill her to prove his loyalty to Voldemort but that he managed to save you by passing you off as the child of another woman."

"You know in what respect I meant it..." he muttered, secretly annoyed she'd taken the normally highly insultive comment so well. "You're more than bloody clumsy, you're a liability woman!"

**Biochemkris** · 12-06-2004, 10:37 PM

What Marcella had just told her sounded like the biggest fish tale she'd ever heard. While she could believe that Faith was her mother and probably a Potter. If she was, in fact, a Potter, she could also believe that Dark Lord wanted Faith and herself dead. What she didn't believe was that her father would be stupid enough to have the Dark Lord find out about either of them nor that he'd kill Faith.

"I think most of that is a fabrication of Black's mind. Although, I'm also sure there's fact in there somewhere..." she shrugged and sighed. "I don't know. Did you ask Snape about any of this?"

EmmaRiddle · 12-06-2004, 10:47 PM

Carrying on as if she hadn't heard Kristi, she added, "I don't think Voldemort ever found out about them, seeing as Snape managed to convince him you were the result of a relationship with a death eater. Him killing her seemed to be more to do with Voldemort wanting to rid the world of Potters, that little obsession he seems to have. If that's true, then you surviving, makes you special. Snape lied, he risked his life, he put himself on the line to save you.

I only told Snape what I'd been told. At the time it was all a haze, all new to me so I hadn't made my mind up. It's a good thing I wrote that letter before he kissed me. The state I'm in, if he hadn't I might've risked telling him that too."

**Biochemkris** · 12-06-2004, 11:12 PM

"I'm not special," she muttered, opening the box the again and setting the picture aside. She took out a beautiful gold charm bracelet and held it up, the miniature magical creatures stretching in the light. She placed the bracelet next to the picture and looked back at Marcella. "Yeah, I'd refrain from mentioning that to Snape."

EmmaRiddle · 12-06-2004, 11:15 PM

"Wait...are you mad at me for what happened?" she asked, tentatively.

**Biochemkris** · 12-06-2004, 11:28 PM

"No, it wasn't your fault that maniac forced himself on you but, Snape might not see it that way. I mean, with the dementors and his predisposition of jealousy where you are concerned... Best not to mention it," she said, taking out a gold ring with the inscription: Our Seal of Love

'It's never gotten in the way before,' Tonks replied, bristling slightly at Nick's tone, her appearance returning swiftly to normal. 'Besides, Dumbledore put me here for a reason, clumsiness aside.'

**Mrs. Weasley** · 12-07-2004, 06:08 AM

Sirius watched Kristie putting the rest of the groceries up hoping she wouldn't ask him anymore questions. He notices Remus coming into the room and is surprised when he shoots a glare at him. Before Sirius can ask him what's wrong, Remus attacks him and pins him against the wall. The rage of a werewolf flashing in his eyes.

"What are you talking about," Sirius asks, "I haven't told Kristie a thing." Sirius listens to Remus continue to rant at him. Sirius is finally over come with rage himself, and lashes out at his old friend. "How dare you throw Dumbledore in my face like that. I know you think he's a saint, Remus, but Dumbledore is a crafty old man who uses every means at his disposal to get his way. I begged him not to make me come here. The last place I wanted to be was in Snape's house surrounded by his memories, but Dumbledore insisted. He reminded me of my promises to Faith, and how I had failed her and James. Dumbledore reminded me I was in Azkaban Prison whe she died and couldn't protect her from him. You were there when Faith died. You say her suffer. You heard her cry to see her daughter one more time. Yes, I do hate Snape with a passion, and I will have my revenge on him someday, but I would never use Kristie to that end. I love her as much as I love Harry. I would give my life to save hers."

Sirius is grateful Marcella came in the room and pulled Remus off of him. Another moment and he would have strangled Remus. He watches Kristie leave the room with Marcella. Her words ring in his ears. He wanted to run after them and stop Marcella from telling Kristie the truth, but Remus stood in his way determined to keep him away from the girls. Tonks tries to relieve the tension by offering to make coffee, but it was too late.

"Dumbledore knew what would happen. It was inevidable for Kristie to learn to learn the truth here. And yes, I told Marcella about Snape and Faith. I felt like she had a right to know what kind of monster she was involved with. Celebate Snivillus took Marcella as his lover. A student Dumbledore trusted him to take care of. She had the right to know what he did to Faith. Whose to say he won't do the same thing to her to gain favor with Voldemort again. Of course, Marcella is the Dark Lord's daughter, so Snape wouldn't dare harm her. But then, I'm sure Voldemort woundn't be too happy with him when he finds out he bedded his daughter."

Sirius looks at Remus. He still has anger in his eyes. "My,my how times have changed. I considered you my friend. James and I befriended you when no one else would, and now you call me a demented looney..." Before Sirius can finish his sentence, Tonks spills a cup of coffee on Nick. Then, the boy does an impromptu strip tease. Sirius says "accio robe," and a set of robes come flying down from Nick's room. "Here, put these on before you catch your death of cold," Sirius tells Nick as he hands the robes to him. Sirius then watches his cousin turn herself into a hag. "So Tonks, that's how you plan to spend your twilight years seducing young wizards in the pubs. Well, I must warn you. Marcella says the local hags like to be spanked."

"You're right, sorry for getting all uppity about it. I guess a part of me is just nervous he may pick up on my anxieties about the whole thing and realise what happened. The last thing I'd want him to do would be to find out but I also don't want to keep secrets. Surely hiding it is worse, it makes it seem like there's something to hide. If it was nothing then what could be the worst thing to happen..." she shook her head once more. "I'm being selfish Kristi, my mind is not with you."

"Yeah, that reason probably being to keep these two dunderheads entertained. Although appearances would show that they've chosen to get physical with each other rather than you. Go figure, a dog and a wolf, what an unlikely match..." he laughed at his own joke, taking a bite into an apple, throughly amused by the whole scenario and completely comfortable being less than adaquately dressed.

He takes the offered robe and puts it on, not bothering to tie it, only slightly phased by what Black appears to be revealing.

Breaking the silence, he added, "People do bad things, Snape's one of those people, so am I. But if he lays a finger on Marcella he knows he'd be dead - either by Voldemort, Dumbledore or myself. He's not about to hurt her. This is the future and he loves her no matter what happened in the past. Besides, she wasn't really a student, she was very advanced and needed little teaching. It takes two to tango and as much as I love my sister, she's no innocent. When she gets feisty, she gets what she wants and she's always aware of what she'd doing. She got into the relationship because she wanted too despite the dangers she knew it would put her in. Her life has been full of danger so to her, what does a little more mean when she can at least have a little short lived happiness? Now, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it greatly if you stopped arguing."

Hearing his comment about the hags, he narrows his eyes, "Are you insinuating my sister is a hag?" He was about to ask if he was implying he wanted to spank her...but thought better of it for he could not trust his actions if he did not get the preferred answer.

**Mrs. Weasley** · 12-07-2004, 09:12 PM

Sirius listens closely to what Nick has to say. "So Marcella gets what Marcella wants. Interesting," he thinks to himself. He'll just have to find a way to help her decide that what she wants is him. "No, I'm not calling your sister a hag. We had a conversation about the hags in the local pubs. She informed me they like to be spanked. I don't know why she thought I would find this information useful. At the moment I can't show my face in any of the local pubs. I'm still too popular with the boys from the Ministry of Magic," Sirius says with a wry grin on his face.

EmmaRiddle · 12-07-2004, 09:37 PM

"You couldn't be more wrong..." he sighed, feeling sorry for the man. "Do you think she wants to be stuck here, being babysat by you lot? If she got what she wanted then Snape wouldn't be locked up, she wouldn't have a demented lunatic for a father and her mother would still be alive. Even when things seem to be going her way they eventually don't. I'd think long and hard before passing judgement onher, if I were you. You have no idea what she's been through."

Kristi put the things back in the box and shut it once more; she'd have plenty of time to look through it later. "It's okay," she said, laying a hand on Marcella's knee. "I'm not really sure what to make of all this anyway. Do you think we should check up on things downstairs?"

**Mrs. Weasley** · 12-08-2004, 05:16 AM

"I know she would rather be anywhere but here. Unfortunately we're stuck here rather we like it or not. I wish there was more I could do for your sister and the rest of you'll, but my hands are tied. Dumbledore is calling the shots right now. All any of us can do is take orders. And no I wasn't passing judgement on Marcella. We all have things in our past we are not proud of. Mine is no different. What's the old saying: he who has no sins cast the first stone."

**fona** · 12-08-2004, 12:31 PM

Tonks looked ove at the two men when Sirius spoke, confusion evident on her face. 'Spanking old hags?' she mumbled to herself. Why had Marcella told him that? Nick predictibly took it the wrong way, exchanging words with her cousin.

Great, more argument, she thought, looking to the faces around her. For the first time since she'd arrived, Tonks actually wanted to hex everybody in the room, all her usual good humour leaving her finally. Shaking her head, she left the room, going to stand in the doorway instead. She stood for a minute, looking around her, then moved over to the fence.

She pulled her cloak around her, leaning back against the fence, looking up to the stars, feeling a calm descend on her once more and allowing her mind to settle back on the situation at hand.
