Wotcher everyone, my name's Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks but use my first name and I can guarantee that you will be on the receiving end of a very nasty hex. Trust me on that, just four hours ago I caused Mad-Eye (yes, the Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody, Best bloody Auror the Ministry has ever had) to sprout blue feathers. I ran away pretty quickly after that, there was no way I was going to leave myself to the mercy of that mad, old Auror.

So, right now I am hiding away in Remus Lupin's room at Grimmauld Place. To be exact I am behind the door and he is reading on his bed, smirking in my direction every so often probably imagining what Mad-Eye is going to do to me, the git.

I wonder were my demonic and idiotic cousin, Sirius Black, is? Actually, if I can't hear or see him I don't want to know. Sirius may be my favourite cousin but he can be annoying in large doses. He's been hanging around me all week and it's flying me crazy! He claims that it's because he missed so much time with me that he's trying to make up but I think he just likes to be annoying.

Yes, everyone, my cousin is the one and only Sirius Black: Mass Murderer and Escapee of Azkaban Prison. But, as I have quite recently found out, that's all a lie.

If you'd have asked me three weeks ago that I would willingly hang around Sirius and be in a secret society for bringing V-v-voldemort down I would've laughed in their faces and advised them that they should get their heads checked out.

Now, it doesn't seem too bad although I still can't believe that I, the clumsy, foul mouthed, metamorphmagus Auror, got acceptance from the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Mind you, none of the members are completely normal so that might have something to do with it.

I think joining the Order was one of the best times of my life, excluding becoming a fully-fledged Auror. We all had at least one thing in common and I got reunited with a family member! And met a really cute guy...

Suddenly someone barged into Remus' room, the door almost hit my face but Remus grabbed it with lightening fast reflexes. I smiled in relief at him and we both turned to the culprit; Sirius.

"Hey Moony, little Nym," he greeted happily, obviously unaware of my angry look and turned to face me. "You know, Moody's still looking for you."

I grinned, "I know and I don't plan on seeing him until he's given up."

Sirius laughed, "Well, that gives us plenty of time together!"

Remus looked at him warily, "And why don't you think I won't just shove you out of my room?"

Sirius widened his eyes like a dog, "Cause you wouldn't want to ever, ever get rid of me, would you?"

Remus groaned and motioned Sirius to sit down and for me to come out from behind the door.

"So, Nymmie, what have you been up to?" Sirius asked as I sat beside him on Remus' bed. "The only memory I have of you is when me and the other marauders babysitting you when you were six and you turned James' hair pink but even that's hazy..."

I was about to inform him that there was no way I was going to talk about my younger self to someone I was thirteen years younger than. But seeing Sirius look at me, I just couldn't say no. I mean, there was no way I could imagine losing all of my happy memories so I should help him remember.

"Well," I started, getting myself comfortable, "It was in June..."
