The Forest of Dean

Tonks: "You're right, it is," I nodded. "Sleep, I'll make sure Amber and Ginny do as well, I'll see you in the morning," I said quickly.

Lupin: "Wake me up halfway through the night and I'll let you sleep."

Amber: I grimaced at Ginny, "I'm sure once everything goes back to normal or somewhat normal, you two will be together again." I said, reassuringly.

Ginny: I smiled. "I'm glad some of us have so much faith," I told her honestly. "It's nice,"

Tonks: "Alright," I nodded, and set my head against the metal frame of the bot, just below the mattress. "Ginny? Amber?"

Amber: I smiled. "I believe there has to be faith, if not then we're left with nothing." I said. I turned towards Tonks, "Yes?"

Ginny: "I think you're right," I looked over at Tonks. "Yeah?" I asked.

Tonks: "You both need to sleep," I told them, quietly, and waited.

Amber: I nodded and yawned, quietly. "Tonks is right, we need to sleep." I told Ginny, standing up from the floor. I walked over to the other empty cot and laid down. "Night Ginny, night Tonks." I said, quietly.

Ginny: I sighed. "Night, Amber; Night, Tonks," I told them both, rolling onto my side, and pulling my jacket tighter around myself.

Tonks: "G'night girls," I nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Next Morning!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Amber: I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I sat up on the cot and looked around, noticing it was morning.

Ginny: I opened my eyes as the light outside became too bright to sleep through, and I looked around, wondering where I was, because I couldn't seem to remember.

Amber: I looked at Ginny, who looked confused, and smiled. "Morning Ginny." I said, while stretching and sighed.

Ginny: I rolled over and saw Amber. "Morning, Amber," I replied, with a small smile. "Sleep well?"

Amber: "Surprisingly, yes." I chuckled, quietly. "Did you sleep well?"

Ginny: I nodded. "Considerably well, under the circumstances,"

Amber: I nodded, knowing what she meant.

Tonks: I opened my eyes at the sound of voices, and looked around. I was still on the ground, but curled up on the dirt, that wasnt going to be good later on, and Remus was likely to kill me for not waking him up. For the moment, though, he was still asleep. I looked at Ginny and Amber who had apparently also just woken up. "Wotcher, ladies," I smiled, sitting up, and running a hand through, what I was positive, was a mess of some random colored hair on the top of my head. I had no control over my morphing whilst asleep.

Ginny: I nodded "It took me a couple hours to fall asleep," I admitted, and looked at Tonks. "Morning," I smiled.

Amber: I grimaced at Ginny and turned towards Tonks, "Morning." I smiled.

Ginny: I sat up and looked, with amusement, at the look on Amber's face when she saw Tonks's now bright orange hair.

Tonks: I grinned. "You both look rested," I noted, standing up slowly. I brushes the stray dust off my robes and looked around. "I wonder I'd my mother had enough sense to put a mirror in the stash of essentials for going into hiding...." I muttered, mostly to myself. "Has one of you seen a mirror?" I asked, spinning around to face them, but in the process, catching the toe of my boot on the small table near the cots, and falling, face-first into the dirt. "Well, that was bound to happen eventually," I muttered, sitting up to asses the damage. The table was swaying unhealthily, and I notice the leg had snapped off, I watches in awe for a moment, and a moment too late, drew my wand to repair the damage. The table collapsed, and with a crash, hit the cot where Remus was still sleeping, causing that to make one violent jolt. "Well, that's one way to wake someone up,"

Amber: I placed my hand over my mouth to keep in my chuckles. "Are you okay Tonks?" I asked, a chuckle or two escaping.

Tonks: I nodded with a grin. "Oh, I'm used to falling on my face. I don't expect that will be the last time before I leave," I told her. "'M not bleeding, am I?" I asked.

Ginny: I shook my head. "I don't see any," I told her.

Amber: "I don't see any blood either," I said.

Lupin: I sat up with a jolt and looked around.

Tonks: "Good," I nodded, then grinned at Remus. "Morning," I told him. "Sorry about that,"

Ginny: I laughed, and looked at Amber. I found it amazing how simple it could be to laugh in such times.

Lupin: I looked at Dora, "So it was you? Ow?"

Tonks: "Yeah, considering I'm the one who falls on a regular basis, it shouldn't be too far-fetched for you to grasp that," I nodded. "And again... Sorry, I suppose I should really start looking where I'm going, shouldn't I?"
