Tonks was sitting in the back corner of the Hog's Head. She had ordered a Firewhiskey and she was slowly sipping it. She hadn't had any sort of alcohol since Teddy was born. He was at his grandparents. Her parents, of course, not Remus's.
Tonks and Remus hadn't had much time to themselves lately. She missed him, even though she saw him pretty much everyday. She wasn't that sad, though. She was just glad that she could finally get a break from things.

Hermione entered the Hog's Head, looking for a place to escape from everybody. Ron and Harry would be home in two days. She should be happy but she wasn't. Ron was coming home and he was coming home to surprises. She had listened to him for once and found someone else. He had said it himself. And now she was dating Viktor Krum to everyone's knowledge. It was on the front page of the Daily Prophet when they first were spotted as a couple. It was annoying seeing herself that morning when she went to work. It made her glad that the aurors in-training didn't get any news while they were there unless family told them. And the only person she wrote to was Harry since Ron never wrote her.
She ordered a firewhiskey even though it was a Thursday night. She only drank every other Friday but tonight was different. He would be back soon and she didn't want him back in her life again. All he caused was pain last time. She spotted Tonks in a corner, drinking too. She must be upset about something. Maybe she hadn't seen Remus in a while. Teddy wasn't with her so she assumed he was with dad or grandparents. She walked over to Tonks, smiling. "Hey Tonks. How are you?"

Tonks brightened when she saw Hermione walking up to her. She always loved seeing Hermione. She sort of just brightened her day, even when she was extremeley sad. "Hey, Hermione!" she said, brightly. She set her bottle of Firewhiskey down on the table and scooted it rather far away from herself so that she wouldn't accidently knock it over, as she had a habit of doing.
Tonks sighed before answering. "Oh, I'm ok. I miss Remus a lot...he's been busy with....," she said slowly, looking around her and she realized that she probably shouldn't be talking about what exactly he was doing. "I finally had a chance to take a break, so I dropped Teddy at his grandparents and I came here to relax. " She reached for her Firewhiskey, without looking at it and she knocked it over.

Hermione took a seat, sipping her firewhiskey. It was another night out on the town. She seemed to be getting out more with Ron and Harry coming back. She usually just locked herself in her flat so as to not talk to anyone. She didn't want to talk about Ron coming back at the moment and wished that it didn't enter into that type of conversation. She was sure that it would though since everyone knew that Harry and Ron were returning in two days from auror training. They were coming back aurors.
Hermione understood that Tonks wasn't allowed to be talking about secret missions. Hermione would hear about it if it was of importance. She was now an Order member and she was sure that it would come up in the meetings. So she didn't automatically start to question Tonks about what the Order was doing. She knew that a meeting would be coming up soon with Harry and Ron back.
"How is Teddy doing?" she asked, sipping her firewhiskey before quicky getting up. Tonks had spilled her own firewhiskey which was quickly traveling to her side of the table. She really didn't want firewhiskey all over her. She pulled out her wand and made the firewhiskey disappear. She gave Tonks a smile to let her know that it was alright. She didn't get any on here so she would be fine.

Tonks laughed, embarassed, at herself. "I'm sorry, Hermione." She was always doing things like that. Her parents kept telling her that she would grow out of it, but she knew that she wouldn't. She was a grown woman, she wasn't going to do anymore growing. Her parents were just trying to get her to feel better about it, but she was used to it by now.
Tonks brightened even more so, if that was possible, when Hermione mentioned Teddy. "Teddy is getting so good at his letters and his spelling. Luckily, he has his father's brains!" she said, laughing. She looked over at the bar and mouthed,"Another one."

"Its alright, Tonks," Hermione assured her, laughing a bit. She was just trying to loosen up a bit. She needed to have some fun in her life with all the work she did. Maybe her and Viktor could plan a date sometime soon. She would see him later today as she stopped by during his practice. She always enjoyed watching his practices for they were so intense. She couldn't play quidditch but she was interested in it. It was an amazing game to watch and it was always filled with excitement.
Hermione could see that Tonks brightened up at the mention of her 4 year old son, Teddy. He was quite the adorable boy since the last time Hermione had seen him. He was just like his mother, a metamorphagus. The last time she had seen him he hadn't been able to control it just yet. She didn't think he could yet as 4 years old either. He might be learning though. Hermione was sure that he was probably much taller than the last time she had seen him. Boys seemed to sprout much quicker than girls for some odd reason.
"Well he has his mother's metamorphaging skills which will probably prove usefull to him in the future. Especially if he's anything like his father, then he'll be getting into loads of trouble," Hermione chuckled. Professor Lupin had been part of the Maruader's with Harry's dad, James and Sirius Black. Peter Pettigrew was part of their group too but he was a traitor. But that band of four caused loads of trouble and even made a map to get around school easier. Harry had used it a loads of times.

Tonks couldn't help but laugh at what Hermione just said. She shook her head still laughing. "Oh, Hermione....You have NO idea how true that is." She couldn't count how many times that Teddy would get in trouble in one day. Whether it was sneaking a treat or trying to stay up later than he was supposed to...reading of course. "He's always getting in trouble." She laughed again. "I dread it when he goes to school..."she shook her head," The teachers will sure be in for it." The bartender came over with her Firewhiskey. "Ah, thanks!" she said, handing him the money for the drink.

Hermione took a sip of her firewhiskey and saw that it was almost finished. Why did it disappear so fast? Maybe she was gulping it down and she didn't know it. She swore that she was only sipping it though. Oh well, she thought. She nodded toward the bartender who went into the back to get her another glass. It was like her signal that they had developed when she became a usual and her usual drink was firewhiskey.
Hermione finished off her drink and set it aside. Her drink would be there soon. "I'm sure they will be if he's anything like his father. Well look at Harry. He was always getting in trouble for wandering around at night."

Tonks laughed again. "Yeah...that's sure true. You should hear some of the things that Remus tells me that they all did!" she said, laughing. This conversation got her thinking about what she had to look forward to with Teddy. Or all of the things that she would have to miss because of her job. She frowned at the thought. She didn't want to miss everything in his life.
Tonks looked up and looked at Hermione. She realized that they had been talking about her the whole time. "I'm sorry! We've been talking about me for the whole converstaion! What has been happening with you?"

Hermione laughed softly. Her firewhiskey had come as she took a sip. She didn't feel any burn for she was so use to the drink. That was how many times she had actually drunk it. "I'm sure Teddy will turn out to be a wonderful student. Remus wasn't as much as a troublemake like Harry's dad or Sirius was. So I'm sure there won't be much to worry about," Hermione smiled. She was sure that Teddy would grow up to be a wonderful boy.
Hermione gave Tonks a reassuring smile. "It's okay. I don't really mind. But I have been working, working, and working. Still trying to gain house-elf rights. I almost got them wages but the bill has to be approved of first," she recounted. "But I've been doing okay. Just been really busy thats all." She actually made sure she was busy so her mind wouldn't wander on other things.
