Prompt: Snape/Tonks, Stealth and Tracking Training for Slytherins
Word count: 100
Rating: PG

The Shrieking Shack was the best place to exchange messages with Snape.

Tonks was the best person to meet with him; she could be anyone, if need be.

They met once a week. Snape was efficient, rude, and noble. He made her laugh.

Incredibly, she fell.

Months later, Snape brought Draco and begged her to keep him safe.

Tonks had blinked and agreed.

Snape arrived bloody days after, and Tonks mended him.

When he was whole, the debris in the shack was transformed into a soft mattress.

She told herself it wasn't cheating when she kissed Snape with Draco's mouth.

Oh, that's sad, and somehow inevitable.

Thanks :)

Oh, poor Tonks...this Snape is never going to really want her, is he?

Well done.

Thanks, beth! :))

Thank you. :))

Ooh! I love it! I love the idea that Snape makes Tonks laugh, and her unquestioning acceptance of their mission, his personality, and his concern for Draco.

The kicker is the contrast between "Whe he was whole" and "She told herself it wasn't cheating". If Tonks must be someone else in order to be loved, she will never be whole :(

Thanks for an awesome drabble!
