Andromeda Tonks - Youknowwhereways

[mm_lettie]

"Teddy, honey--" The boy was crying again and it was for that reason that she stepped out of the kitchen to go and pick him up from the play pen ... or she would have done so if she hadn't stepped out into some other place entirely.

She tensed, glancing around for a long moment before she resolved to simply sit down and figure out where she was.

A wolf that'd been asleep by the fire, still enough almost to look like a large fluffy pillow, stretched and stood from his spot before padding over to her. Big blue eyes peered at her.

New?

[nolongermoral]

She peered down at the wolf with a wary quirk of her brow.

"Don't Animagi talk anymore?" Telepathy had always squicked her.

[wellthrownstone]

Well, that identifies that.

Said dryly.

I'm not an Animagus. I'm... a little different. I'd speak in the language of wolves, but I doubt you'd understand.

[nolongermoral]

"Different, huh?"

She rubbed her hand over the back of her neck absently. "Look, if it's not too much trouble..I'd really like to get back to Teddy. I don't want him to have to think I disappeared."

Enough of his family already had.

[wellthrownstone]

He won't think anything. You've stepped out of time. Think of it like a time turner, except that it won't give you nearly so much of a headache.

When you step back out the door, you'll be right where you left off. I promise.

[nolongermoral]

She shot him a suspicious look for a long moment before she sighed and nodded.

"Right. So that means I can have a fag?"

[wellthrownstone]

That it does.

The wolf nodded to a lighter on the table near her. Which was totally there before.

Totally.

[nolongermoral]

Totally.

Andromeda arched her brow at him before picking up the lighter and dispensing a cigarette from an inside pocket.

"Do you have a name, then? I'm Andromeda Tonks."

[wellthrownstone]

Garion, generally. And a few permutations of. Garion works, though.

He flopped next to her.

A pleasure to meet you, Mistress Tonks.

[nolongermoral]

She smirked a little. "Mistress? That's a new one, I think. Then again, we don't have house elves."

Hermione would have her head, she was sure, and it wasn't as if she didn't have better things to spend galleons on.

[wellthrownstone]

I've never had one myself. It's just a boyhood habit, I'm afraid. Every man a Goodman, every woman a Mistress.

He considered looking cute for some scritching but decided against it.

[nolongermoral]

Andromeda thought on that and peered down at him.

"So you're ... a wizard?" She was wondering about this herself.

[wellthrownstone]

I'm a sorcerer. And I've been to your world, but I'm not from it.

He settled on his own paws.

[nolongermoral]

"Ah." That sounded a little ... strange, to say the least.

"Interesting."

[wellthrownstone]

Usually. Right now, I'm on vacation. Until I get my next assignment. Then I'm off.

He looked up at her.

You?

[nolongermoral]

She shrugged hesitantly.

"Just trying to keep things going for Teddy, mostly. Working at St Mungo's during the day, but they've been good with keeping my schedule flexible."
