Sometime later, I made a new Tenebrius and went back to Hogwarts. When Tenebrius was left alone with Tonks she stared at him, reflecting.
"Tenebrius?" She asked him as she ducked her head and put her hands together in front of her.
"Yes?" I asked, curious what she would get me now.
"Sorry, I've been a very bad girl... I cheated on you with another boy" she acted all guilty, but she didn't stop smiling.
"How could you?!" I followed the game.
"It's just that he had it much... much... MUCH... bigger than you, I couldn't resist" She said while touching her body "It is possible that I carry his baby in my belly from so much that we fuck in our bed"
"You're a bitch...!" I shook my head
"You can never be like him..." was what she said before running away...running to her room to look for clothes to wear.
She came back shortly after and we carried on as usual. She was about to send a letter to her mother, but before she did, we heard a frantic knock on the door.
We both took out our wands and opened them from afar, ready for whatever comes, and that was...
Andromeda and Edward, who entered the house with fear on their faces. When we saw them, and they us, we were surprised. Andromeda jumped up to give us both a big hug.
"I'm glad they're okay! I was so worried…" Tonks's mother sobbed without letting go of us to the point that it became difficult for us to breathe.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" Tonks asked, just as surprised as I was. "Didn't you read my letter?"
"Of course we read it," Edward replied.
"And that's why we're here"
They explained that after reading it, even though they were told not to come, they decided to check on how we are doing. Despite our insistence that it could be dangerous for them, they still didn't leave, and Andromeda made sure to check us out and force us to tell her all the details.
She insisted that we leave here and go to their house, but I explained that this was a bad idea, that it would not be safe, and that it would put them in danger. Andromeda continued strong with her position, but I did the same and we were in a deadlock.
Andromeda took Tonks off to talk to her about talking me into it, I guess, while I was making snacks for our guests, with Edward looking at me seriously from across the table.
I was bringing Edward something to eat when he spoke to me.
"Let's go for a walk" he said, still in his serious tone.
"Okay, I'll go tell the girls" I didn't refuse and went to tell Andromeda and Tonks that we went out for a while.
...
Andromeda was going with Tonks to her room so she could discuss safety with her daughter, but when she passed through the door of Tenebrius's room, her nose twitched. Changing direction and gaining great acceleration, she entered the room, coming to the side of the bed where she crouched down and after a few breaths she suddenly turned around.
Tonks, surprised at her mother's sudden change of direction, followed her, but when she saw her turn around and give her a very big smile, she felt uncomfortable.
"Nymphadora!" Andromeda jumped to hug her daughter "I knew I didn't raise a fool... I guess dangerous situations ignite that spark" Andromeda couldn't take the look of happiness and satisfaction off her face.
"What are you talking about mom?" Tonks looked confused, but she more or less knew what her mother was talking about.
"Come on... my nose doesn't lie, this bed has seen some crazy battles recently" she looked at her knowingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about? How can you have an ability like that?" Tonks averted her gaze.
"Come on, I was young too and it's not like I don't have my own crazy battles with your father, I know what the smell of gunpowder is. I can't believe it finally happened, it took me a lot, but I finally feel like my jobs bore fruit..."
"Mom! Don't talk like it was you…" Tonks was upset, she didn't want her to find out, but how was she to know that her mother had a dog's nose?
"Tell me everything, in detail, did you start it or was it Tenebrius who took the initiative and screwed you over?" Andromeda was excited as if it had been her.
"MOM! Stop talking like that... yes, I accept it, I had sex, are you happy? Don't ask any more questions, this is the kind of thing you don't want to tell your parents"
"You can't question my excitement. Do you know how long I've waited for this moment? I know it sounds twisted, but finding out that my daughter had sex in this bed makes me very happy, since…" She was counting when she heard someone speak behind Tonks.
"Which Tonks did what?!" I asked once I heard Andromeda, making a shocked face "DID YOU CHEAT ME WITH ANOTHER IN MY OWN BED?!" I feigned immense anger and slapped Tonks, not a real one but believable enough. "You're a bitch." It was the last thing I said before running out of the room. This was my revenge for her joke of cheating on me.
By the time I left, Tonks was confused, stroking her cheek, even though it didn't hurt if she felt itchy. She was trying to understand what was happening, but she wasn't the most dismayed.
Andromeda, who seemed to be lost in the void, after seeing that did not move from her place until at one point she seemed to turn pale, and her legs went limp causing her to fall sitting on the bed.
"Mom?" She looked worried at her mother, understanding what was happening.
Andromeda got up, but without the slightest trace of her initial smile, grabbed her daughter by her clothes, and brought her close to her face "Tell me you didn't do what I think you did!" She spoke in a voice that would have frightened dark lord.
"Mom calm down? You scare me" Tonks said seeing the most terrifying side of her mother, it seemed something completely different from the human, and the fact that she has to stand on her tiptoes because she was lifting her by force did not help.
"Tell me you didn't go with another, or I assure you that no one is going to be able to repair what I'm going to do to you..." With her penetrating gaze, she was ready to judge her daughter's words and make her feel like hell if it was that she actually did wrong.
"It's all a joke from Tenebrius, mama... How could I do something like that?" Tonks, truly scared, responded very quickly.
"I know you well and I know how much you like to go crazy, tell me the truth! Who did you fuck with? And you better not lie to me so that later I find out that my daughter is a cheap slut because not even your father is going to save" She said without reducing her presence or releasing her daughter with her voice between Darth Vader and Sauron.
"I SWEAR IT'S THE TRUTH..." she yelled to clarify.
"Well..." Andromeda released her daughter, calming down "I'll believe you for the moment... but if it doesn't turn out that way, I advise you to leave the country, so maybe you'll get a few seconds of advantage"
'Fucking redhead!' Tonks yelled to herself, she was truly scared for a moment.
"Well, if he's the one you slept with, I hope you can give me details... of course, that's only if you didn't lie to me..." She said as she sat seriously on the bed, but the moment she leaned back she remembered what happened here and moved into a corner.
"I do not want to talk about this"
"Nymphadora…" her mother just looked at her earnestly, and she had to give in.
"Well... we did it after we got back from work. I remembered what you told me and you were right... he gave a lot to me and when I saw him poisoned I felt something inside me break, so after bathing in between to his room... I didn't want something like today to happen again without at least being able to... return something of everything he gave me..."
"Besides that, you like him too, right?"
"Yes... I didn't see him at first because I took his presence in my life for sure, only when I almost lost him did I realize that I really liked him"
"And... How was it? You don't need to describe it, just a general idea" She asked trying to hide her emotion, if it was true she would be the happiest mother in the world to know that her daughter's relationship was progressing... but if it was a lie...
"It was… well… I couldn't come the first time…" Tonks tried to say a little embarrassed under her mother's gaze.
"You can't expect him to always please you or you might be disappointed... Was it because of his size...? Just don't tell me you mentioned his size while you were doing it... don't tell me you screwed it up like that" Andromeda said. She covered her heart with her hand imagining her daughter complaining in the middle of the act and because of her personality, if it happened, it was with very direct words.
"I didn't do it mom, at that moment I didn't care if I came or not, I just wanted to be closer to him"
"What a relief" Andromeda sighed.
"It was more because he... well, it was his first time, so I let him go at his pace and enjoy himself."
"Was it his first time?!" She was genuinely surprised, "That... I didn't expect that...it could be very good, it's more romantic and he will always have you on his mind, but also bad...maybe in the future I'll be curious and want to see what it's like to do it with others... but with you, it won't be a problem, he can have the girl he wants" She began reflecting "You were right to let him enjoy, if you had put any pressure on him everything would get worse"
"... Well, I felt that I would be wrong if I did it, even if he did it as an eleven-year-old" she bit back a kind of laugh between mocking and guilty.
"Don't put him down like that, he'll get better, you can teach her how to do it" Andromeda got a little angry with her derogatory comment, not knowing that technically, no matter how well or badly she did, she would be right.
"It's not contempt, and even if it was, he would have proven me wrong the second time around."
"Second...? How good are youth and its abundant energy"
"Yes, I was surprised too, he made me finish twice before him, but his changes of pace were annoying. Sometimes I was close, but he slowed down and even if I asked him he didn't increase it... it was very frustrating "
So, Tonks told her mother some more details, without so much shame. Andromeda listened and was happy, especially when she found out that her son-in-law would be a good lover for her daughter. Andromeda also gave advice to her daughter, advice that she did not want to hear from her mother.
...
Back from buying a few things, Edward and I walked around with the bags. The entire trip there was spent in silence, even though we went out to 'talk'.
"I don't agree with you going out with my daughter" Edward finally spoke.
"..."
"But what you did was something that I appreciate very much. That someone protects her wholeheartedly is something that satisfies me as much as any father" he said seriously.
"It's my duty, I wouldn't let something happen to her"
"And I thank you and respect you very much for that..."
"So there are no grudges anymore?"
"Yes there are and always will be... I hate you for dating my daughter, but if you keep acting as you did... then I'll just hate you silently"
"..."
After walking around for a while we arrived at our house and after entering we could hear Andromeda complaining to Tonks. It seemed that they were cooking and Andromeda was teaching her daughter how to do it.
Tonks tried to prepare food as best she could under the guidance of her mother. Sometime later we had dinner ready and in it, there was a dish cooked purely by Tonks.
After we tasted what she did, both me and Edward, who saw the emotion on Tonks's face, just swallow silently even if we wanted to cough from how much spicy it had. Andromeda was not so kind and scolded her harshly, after learning that the relationship progressed, she believed that she should teach her daughter to be a good wife.
After dinner, Tonks and Andromeda went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and when they got there they talked some more.
"You're lucky it was a joke from Tenebrius" Andromeda told her daughter, during dinner she had been paying attention to her son-in-law and saw how there was none of the anger he showed before.
"I don't know why you doubt me so much, why can't he be the one cheating on me? He's the one with other girls he likes"
"How...?" Andromeda looked at her daughter seriously when she found out that she didn't tell her everything.
"Nothing…" she tried to hide after realizing that her tongue slipped, but her mother's look didn't allow it "Nothing important… just that if he had another woman maybe I would be the lover, but it was just a game between us"
"And how did they come to that conversation...?"
"After I told him that she could go out with another girl and that I had no problem being her mistress…" Tonks is overwhelmed and hated herself. It was stupid to mention it to her mother, but today she felt that she couldn't lie to her at all, no matter how hard she tried everything came out of her mouth. At least she didn't reveal the true age of her 'boyfriend'.
Andromeda didn't comment, she thought her daughter was a fool for saying something like that, but at the same time she considered that maybe she wanted to test her partner, sometimes she does that with her husband. It's not uncommon for a man to like other girls, and luckily for Tonks, she can take any look, other women only have one. That's the main reason she didn't care, if Tenebrius liked some girl, Tonks could take her appearance for a while and be done with it.
Andromeda and Edward left a while later, still insisting that it wasn't safe here, but to no avail. They said their goodbyes and agreed that they would not return, under Tenebrius's insistence that it was for their safety.
Once they left, only Tonks and I were left. She stared at me for a while with annoyance.
"Do you know what you put me through...?"
"I can try to imagine it"
"you are an asshole"
"It was a slight revenge for your comments this morning" I laughed at her grumpy face.
"Well, your revenge I'll take away all the sex we could have soon" She turned to go to her room, angry.
"If you know that if I were crying to talk to your mother that you forbid me to have sex with you, she would possibly force you to do it with her right there watching you do it...?" When I said that, she froze in place of her, she truly thought that it would be possible.
"I hate you" she turned her head to give me an annoyed look.
"Hate me later, let's rest, tomorrow we have to go to Amelia's office and it will be hard for you to bear the atmosphere"
...
The other day in Amelia's office we found that next to my small desk, compared to Amelia's, there was another one that was Tonks's.
Amelia was already at her desk and greeted us when she saw us arrive. I sat at my desk and explained to Tonks a bit about how things were, and then got to work.
Before long, Tonks noticed what I meant by the atmosphere. The only sound she heard for a long time was that of quills writing on scrolls. She asked several questions every so often and seeing that unlike when we were in our own office I wasn't chatty, she got to work too.
It was not the most optimal area for her, so after a while, the difference was very noticeable. On my desk was most of the completed paperwork, hundreds of completed documents, followed by Amelia's documents, and lastly there was Tonks with a few completed sheets that she seemed to want to hide seeing how inferior her job was compared to the two of us.
