"Miss Tonks," he said curtly. "You look as though Peeves has moved into your home and begun dumping ink upon you. Or perhaps you have caused yet another potion to explode upon your person?" Severus well remembered the accidents she had caused in his classroom, and made a mental note to mock Remus for shagging someone young enough to have been in Snape's classes.

"Your knock made me jump and I spilled ink, alright." She watched him move towards the couch and wasn't about to warn him about the ink spill on the couch. Or that it was right where he was about to sit.
"And to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"

He arched a brow at her and sneered, "Oh, I merely missed the sweet and melodic sound of your voice, and your ever so vibrant hair." He looked around, curious in spite of himself. His curiosity had always been a downfall. "This is where Gilen comes, is it? When he is away from Remus'?" The only time I go farther than Remus' bedroom?

"I'm aware you didn't ask this for yourself, and I --" She broke off. No, she would have helped him anyway. That damned owing him due to saving her life... thing. Tonks ran a hand through her hair with a sigh. "If that's what you ask, then... yes." She paused. "Have you told Remus that you saved his life?"

"Remus does not know that it was I who took from the building," he repeated. "But as long as you can tell whatever tribunal might be convened that I stopped a Death Eater from cursing you to your grave, that should suffice."

She had every intention of telling whoever was going to set up this trial the entire story.
"I'd tell him if I were you. Before he finds out at the trial." Then again, to tell Remus would be the right thing to do. Tonks wondered if Snape had ever done the right thing in his life.

He shot her a pointed look. "He doesn't have to find out at the trial, Miss Tonks. I have more than enough information to clear my name without that becoming known. Are we clear?" Once a teacher, always a teacher, at least in terms of tone and carriage.
