2. Number 12

How did you know where I was going?!" I asked nearly shouting.

"It's three in the morning" he said calmly. "Who else in the world would go alone to a secret place at three in the morning without being scared than an Order member? Plus, that has a wand coming out of her boot"

Remus pointed at her right right boot. I looked down at it and blushed a little. half of her wand was coming out of her right boot. Since Moody told me not to keep my wand in my pockets, and since I had no pockets on my clothes,I had decided to hide it there.

He won using logic. But I wasn't going to let him win too easily.

"Maybe... a.... death eater?" I answered like is finding death eaters skipping happily on the streets was a common thing.

"Maybe you could be a death eater" he started. "But if you were one, you'd have killed me after I asked you where were you going"

"But... maybe I could be an untrained death eater... good death eater maybe"

"I don't think Lord Voldemort trains death eater" he continued."and I don't think there are good death eaters. Maybe good persons under imperius"

Tonks shivered hearing the name of Voldemort but the thing she cared most then was that he was winning.

"Bu-but"

"And finally, I don't think a death eater would still be talking to me" he concluded smiling.

And he won.

"Go ahead. Kill me if you're a death eater"

I didn't know what to say. I just opened my mouth to try to say something but nothing came to my mind so I closed it.

"Okay! You win! I'm a witch!" I gave up. "And I'm part of the Order if the Phoenix! And a fan of Weird Sisters"

"That's all I wanted to hear"said with his already known beautiful smile.

Then she realized they were getting closer to Grimmauld Place.

"Now who are you?" I asked trying to make conversation, this was fun. "I mean... tell me something about you..."
"I am nobody" Remus answered looking down.

Okay, he ruined it. But, what did he meant by that?

"You can't be nobody!" I exclaimed. "You have to be someone! Or at least now something about you..."

"Remus Lupin" he said. "Just Remus Lupin"

"Okay."

We reached Number 11 and 13 of Grimmauld Place but there was tray Number 12.

"Where is Number 12?" I whispered to herself.

Suddenly Number 12 started to appear between the other two buildings. Making the others move but nobody seemed to notice. I saw man on the another house's window all calmed eating his midnight snack without noticing the big house appearing right in that moment.

I gasped.

While the other buildings looked new, Number 12 seemed to be taken out from a horror movie. It looked older than other houses. It was grayer than the other, had some plants growing outside of it and that was only on the outside.

Remus and I walked towards the house. Nobody said nothing. Probably he was surprised too.

"Creepy" I thought happily.

When they reached the door, Remus took a few steps ahead leaving me behind.

"How do we open this?" I asked.

Remus opened his mouth but before he could answer the door opened fast and strong, pushing me to one side and hitting Remus' nose.

"Who's there?" an even more familiar voice said, the door didn't let me see who was it.

Then there was a silence for a few seconds.

"Moony! Are you here to accompany your poor lonely old school pal?"said the quite familiar voice to Remus.

"Actually I'm here for the Order meeting, Sirius" answered Remus.

"Sirius?" I said suddenly getting closer to Remus so I could see him too. "Sirius Black?"

"The one and only" he started smiling and not looking at her but then he saw me and his eyes widened. "Nymphadora?!"

"Yes, it's me" I answered and approached to Sirius."And don't call me like that! I've told you a million times!"

Sirius suddenly hugged her strongly. I hugged him back.

"I've missed you" he whispered on my ear.

"I've missed you too" I whispered back.

"Did I miss something?" said Remus uncomfortable behind me.

"No..." Sirius answered letting me go. "...she is my cousin"

"Exactly!" I said happily."and we don't see each other since I was like..."

"Six or seven, I think" completed Sirius.

"So you are part of the Black family?" he asked.

"Yep." I answered as we all entered the house.
